Listen up, folks!

I have new theory that skeptics have in mind a plot to corner the taxidermy market for mammoths....boy it's getting hot in here!

: )

Oh mon amie, sorry to burst your bubble - that theory's been around awhile ;-)

Ever since taxidermists cottoned on to global warming and taxidrivers cottoned on to methane gas.

And further to Leo Lane's post -

Daily Telegraph
Slippery when wet - Tim Flannery's climate warnings questioned after recent flooding
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sydney-news/slippery-when-wet-tim-flannerys-climate-warnings-questioned-after-recent-flooding/story-e6freuzi-1226355256833

"Five years ago, Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery predicted that the nation's dams would never be full again and major Australian cities would need desalination plants to cater for our water needs."

And now this -

Sydney Morning Herald
SA government asked to defend $1.8b desal plant
http://www.smh.com.au/environment/sa-government-asked-to-defend-18b-desal-plant-20121005-2732p.html

"South Australia's government is facing calls to explain why its new $1.8 billion desalination "white elephant" is to be mothballed, possibly until the next drought."

Yes, until the next drought. And I'm quite sure there'll be one, sooner or later, and this desal plant may then be viewed as clever foresight. But in the meantime, you can't help but reason that the loony left's alarmism and panic - and even fraud as Leo suggests - is sheer insanity in this so-called twenty-first century modern scientific era.

What ever happened to rational, logical, scientific research conducted by rational, logical, scientists?

When you ask yourself that question, you can't help but see that Leo Lane makes a very good argument about fraud.

Cheers all.

"Gore has taken the precaution of divorcing his wife of 40 years, and transferring significant assets to her. If the chickens come home to roost he will live a comfortable life as a bankrupt. Many people would like to see him locked up for his actions in this fraud."

Which fraud is that? Because I'm really interested in the gossip as well as the interesting property law which must apply... since according to The Christian Post (and they wouldn't lie with a name like that) though still separated the Gore's were not divorced three months ago:

I admit being distracted by their sidebar 'most popular' article, "How Hookers for Jesus Founder Turned Away from Sex Trade to Serving God." so maybe I missed something?

There is interesting thread on Climate Etc. "Skeptics: make your best case"
http://judithcurry.com/2012/09/18/skeptics-make-your-best-case-part-ii/

There are many excellent comments. People of all persuasions can learn a lot from reading with an open mind what people who do not agree with them have to say about what they themselves believe in their own words.

@ "What ever happened to rational, logical, scientific research conducted by rational, logical, scientists?"

Words from a non-scientist, obviously.

And just for balance;
