Harvard Is an Islamist Outpost
#Islam #Israel #RacismI taught at Harvard from 1993 through 2014, and I don’t think the federal government’s threats will be effective at changing the university’s culture. Harvard’s leaders don’t yet understand the danger that culture poses to the country or why it required intervention.…
Forscher erklären 100'000-Jahre-Zyklus der Eiszeiten
#Global Warming #ScienceWarum es alle hunderttausend Jahre zu einer Eiszeit kommt, konnte bisher nicht komplett erklärt werden. Nun hat ein internationales Forscherteam mit Schweizer Beteiligung die Faktoren identifiziert: Neben der Sonne spielt die Wechselwirkung von Klima und Gletschern eine Rolle.…
The Underappreciated Importance of Climate Variability
#Global Warming #ScienceOne of the most pervasive misunderstandings of climate is the belief that any long-term trend in a measured climate variable indicates a change in climate, as defined by the IPCC. In practice, “long-term” is often defined to be only a few decades worth of observations.…
Oceans Giving Back a Little C02
#Global Warming #ScienceCarbon dioxide is indeed the ‘stuff of life’, underpinning photosynthesis, boosting plant growth, enhancing agricultural yields, and enabling practical applications in industry.…
Constructing Climate Catastrophism
#Global Warming #Science #UNOClimate scenarios are ridiculously opaque, as if they are designed not to be understood by intelligent people outside the small community of scholars who invent these scenarios. More people should understand how the sausage is made.…

#China #U.S.A. #EconomyBut, like most tycoons, O’Leary takes issue with Trump’s 145 percent tariffs on most Chinese imports. The twist: O’Leary doesn’t think they’re too high. He thinks they aren’t high enough, arguing that China has been ignoring the trade rules that other developed countries abide by.…
Biden’s Dark Climate Money
#U.S.A. #Politics #Global WarmingImagine if Republicans gave the Trump Administration tens of billions of dollars to dole out to right-wing groups to sprinkle around to favored businesses. That’s what Democrats did in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).…
Some History, Including About Cyclones
#Global Warming #ScienceWhen it comes to extreme weather, cyclones are top of my list. The most extreme cyclone to hit Queensland, Tropical Cyclone Mahina, was arguably the world’s most intense with a central pressure recorded at 880 hectopascals, a 12-metre storm surge, and 300 kilometre per hour winds.…
Climate Misinformation from the United Nations
#Global Warming #ScienceLapses of scientific integrity in climate science have become normalized. I no longer expect the community to care about obvious and egregious problems in climate science, even when documented in the peer reviewed literature.…
