Dueling Blog Posts, pt 2: Microcosm for a bigger picture

Posted on by

Part 1 of this 2-part post was little more than my illustration of what I do when I’m not composing material for this blog, using a ‘guest post’ at Christopher Keating’s “Dialogs on Global Warming” blog. Today, I’ll illustrate how Keating’s subsequent diatribe against me is little more than a microcosm of the larger problem plaguing the political side of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) issue.

Update: My Funding for 2017 [new non-news 7/31]

Posted on by

Since this blog is almost entirely on the topic of dissecting the accusation that funding (otherwise comprehended as outright bribery) has corrupted skeptic climate scientists, it is incumbent upon me to disclose and detail anything relating to money I receive which even has the smallest appearance of possible corruption. Such disclosures are always in the “My Funding” section here, and this is the 2017 announcement. Continue reading →

Corroborated vs. Uncorroborated Claims

Posted on by

Back in 2008-’09, I was perplexed that efforts to mitigate runaway global warming were occurring despite detailed opposition offered by skeptic climate scientists. Before my initial searches to find out why skeptic assessments were being ignored, I was unaware of how widespread the accusations were about skeptic scientists being paid industry money to lie to the public.

Golly, Where Have We Heard This Before?

The Rex-Exxon Problem, or the inverse thereof

Posted on by

Spend even the briefest effort doing a combined internet search of the words “Exxon” and “climate change”, and it becomes abundantly obvious that enviro-activists have long believed Exxon is a fundamental threat to the planet (full archived text here), and now that Exxon’s CEO – who supposedly has overseen a climate denial machine (full text here) over the last decade – has been tapped by President-elect Trump to be Secretary of State, we should be terrified of him. But just a under two months ago, a situation arose which may indicate that this giant Rex-Exxon survival problem facing the planet could instead be a massive survival problem for enviro-activists.

The Rogue Electoral College Member and Supposedly Corrupt Skeptic Climate Scientists

Posted on by

What could that those two items possibly have in common – the news that avowed non-Trump electoral college voter Chris Suprun may have falsified his resumé, and the ‘industry corruption’ accusation hurled at skeptic scientists? The devil is in the fine details of how such messages are handled by public relations firms. Continue reading →
