Yes, I know that it is a little early to think about my Christmas Wish List, but I certainly could use a Time Machine of the sort envisioned by H.G. Wells in his science fiction novel and in the 1960 movie adaptation starring Rod Taylor. I’m a big fan of good science fiction that takes […]
The two hottest issues on the political scene in many Western countries are climate and immigration. On the one hand elites on the Left argue theoretical and moral concerns involving the survival of the planet and fairness to those who arrive illegally, while those in the Middle and on the Right see the issues in […]
“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings.” —Through the Looking-Glass That is certainly wonderful nonsense from a bygone era (Louis Carroll, 1871), yet it foretells the not-so-wonderful nonsense of today where […]
Dear Governor Brown, I noticed with considerable amazement that you characterized ‘Global Warming’ as “The crisis of our time.” That is far beyond how most Oregonians rate this issue, even those who count themselves as ‘true believers.’ We have many problems in Oregon that deserve much more of your attention and funding than a hypothetical […]
In the name of saving us from imagined disasters, three real disasters are about to unfold that will have long term consequences for communities from tiny Corbett to the entire state of Oregon. To no surprise, the disasters will result from the incompetence and greed of those elites who determine our future. The panic over […]
The theory that humans are significantly changing the Earth”s climate by burning fossil fuels has suffered a thousand deaths, only to rise again like the Phoenix because too many see the political possibilities from a “planetary emergency.” Never mind that there is no emergency or even real scientific concern about an advertised “catastrophe.” As the […]
With each new year we are ever hopeful that we will see a re-dedication to the principles that made America so successful. FAT CHANCE this year! The forces of darkness are out in full force to try to separate President Donald Trump from the Presidency and science from the truth. The two are interrelated because […]
In a field so burdened with propaganda, corruption, and vast nonsense, it might seem very unlikely for any real scientific progress, despite the investment of hundreds of billions of dollars of American taxpayer money. And indeed the remarkable discovery reported here was accomplished far from taxpayer dollars and involves none of the luminaries associated with […]
The short answer is “NO!” But the longer answer is “Nonsense! Carbon dioxide is essential for life on this planet, important in many industrial applications, and not producing the warming that has been predicted.” Of course, you will never see that explained in the constant climate propaganda, featuring photos of giant smokestacks spewing smoke or […]
The November election, with ballots arriving in late October, involves a number of candidates and issues that could have far reaching positive consequences for our state. But if voters opt for the status quo, as they frequently do, Oregon will sink further into the abyss of corruption and incompetence. We have massive problems that are […]
