• How Wide-Spread Is The Damage?

  
  Transterrestrial Musings — Authority: 147
  I’m certainly not familiar with the literature, but I’m sure that a lot of people out there are, and I hope that they’re starting to survey just how far-reaching the destruction of the recent revelations from East Anglia and Happy Valley are to the “settled science” of climate change. In theory, someone ...

• Objective Journalism: Michael Gerson Defends a Profession That No Longer Exists

  
  Big Government — Authority: 818
  Yesterday, Washington Post columnist and former Bush II speechwriter Michael Gerson played a long slow violin solo over the death of the mainstream media . There’s nothing new in his piece.

• ClimateGate: What are the Alarmists So Afraid of?

  
  Big Government — Authority: 818
  The alarmists’ reaction to CEI’s Notice of Intent to Sue NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) for withholding data–now for nigh on two years–has been particularly shrill, as regards my inquiry into the clearance and other deliberations over the non-official activities for the nasty, deceptive, ...

  Transterrestrial Musings — Authority: 147
  Vincent Gray:In 1999, I had a stroke of luck. I asked one of the IPCC officials for the data from which one of their maps was compiled, and I received it. I wrote a paper analyzing the results, and submitted it to Geophysical Research Letters. They just sat on it. I instead published it on [...]

• Giving Thanks For The Internet

  
  Big Government — Authority: 818
  Tis the season to be thankful, and this year one thing stands out as something to be particularly grateful for…the Internet.

• Some Real Discussion Of Climate-Change Science

  
  Transterrestrial Musings — Authority: 147
  Over at Steve McIntyre’s place. It’s a lot better than the “peer-reviewed” stuff, mainly because they aren’t drinking their own bathwater.

• The Warning Signs

  
  Transterrestrial Musings — Authority: 147
  We should have seen this debacle coming:Given the recent events, though, it seems to me that we need to develop methods that can alert us to situations where the consensus position is faulty.

• Nomenclature

  
  Transterrestrial Musings — Authority: 147
  Some have noted, and I agree that it’s a misnomer to call this “ClimateGate.” In addition to the fact that simply adding “Gate” to a scandal is so late twentieth century, calling it a “Gate” would imply that it’s something that the media will go into a frenzy over, because it’s a scandal about [...]

• Googles response to the Murdoch - Microsoft deal?

  
  The Agonist - thoughtful, global, timely — Authority: 608
  Probably not since the "page info" says it was modified on January 2, 2009. But it should be. Its too perfect! It serves as a sublime retort to the nihilism of Murdoch and bad taste on Microsofts part. http://www.google.com/microsoft.html Its semi-official, Rupert Murdochs News Corporation will operate in ...
