Global Warming "Undeniable"

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

The "data" may yet again be compromised. As an example using Australian data, this post indicates historical data is "adjusted" downward to make it seem cooler and more recent data is "adjusted" upward.

The "NG data" smells fishy to me.

I am not sure why this interesting piece did not make the news as well. Maybe it did not fit the hysterical mainstream press message on climate doom and gloom?

PS There is a reason that Anthony's blog is so popular. Check the stats on the main page.

Global Warming is Real...

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

I chuckled when I read the following.

"It is food for thought in these times of global warming and human-induced habitat change," said team leader Brian Huntley

and then

This is a model for what may happen as a result of rapid climate change over the next century linked to human activity," the professor added.


They just made the connection that global warming is the result of human activity WITHOUT ANY PROOF!!


More junk science. Next.

The Witch Hunt Continues

Could be State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is committed to justice?

Please read this article. Simply mind boggling.

Mann's Own Data Shows No 500 Year Warming

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

The battle has moved to "Climate Disruption" as the justification for higher taxes and more government regulation.

Feels like we're playing the "Whack a mole" game at the carnival. I have probably offended someone by referring to the game. My apologies.

Ghost of Mirach

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

Great picture - here's an interesting coincidence. We had small star party last night at a very dark sky location and the Ghost of Mirach was one of our challenge objects. We found it and clearly saw it with an AP155 F9. Awesome !!

6" f/8 Replacement Lens

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

Depends on what you want to spend. Least expensive is buying an existing achro scope.

Or go big and pick up an APO lens from this site - be prepared to pay a large amount of $.

Time's Up. Where's My 50 Million Climate Refugees?

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

Disruption of food supply is definitely man caused - witness the 107,000,000 bushels of corn used annually for ethanol production in the US.
