Where’s the ozone hole?

Remember way back when–oh, like the mid 80′s–when the ozone hole was growing over the South Pole and ready to expose all of humanity to cosmic, skin-burning, gene-smashing, life-sucking radiation from space?

Yeah, well don’t sweat that, I guess.

Three British scientists shocked the world when they revealed on May 16th, 1985 – 25 years ago – [...]

The slow unraveling of Big Science

scientist_430

In one of our recent posts this year, we mentioned that one of the biggest–and best–things to come out of 2009 has been the absolute *ahem*meltdown of GLOBAL WARMING.  With the ClimateGate scandal, cooler temperatures, more moderate weather conditions, public opinion eroding, 2009 has been a disaster for leftists trying to hide their socialist agenda [...]

Give us your tired, your poor, your HIV infected....

statue_liberty6

This has been discussed for quite a while, and it has of course been controversial ever since its implementation, but thank goodness we’ve finally gotten around to lifting the ban on HIV infected tourists. 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention together announced the [...]

2009: The year the wheels came off GLOBAL WARMING

Wheels coming off

A lot of bad things happened in 2009.  We got Obama.  The economy took a nose-dive.  The best health care system on earth is being obliterated.  The Bears missed the playoffs… again.

But if there’s one good nugget you can take from such a miserable year, it’s that finally, after decades of being the biggest naked [...]

Cash for Clunkers: Where’s your money going?

Old_car_-_Chevy

Thankfully, new polling seems to suggest America agrees, at least a little, with the Gulch about how really miserable this cash for clunkers program is, in spite of some sources hailing it as an ”inarguable success. ”

Ostroy at the Huffington Post calls it a “recession-busting program,” which is something we probably need to share with the recession, [...]

Obama’s science czar, John Holdren, may be an extremist nutjob

soylent green

From Ace of Spades, there’s a link to the Zombietime blog with one particular article of interest. 

This article  has excerpts from a book John Holdren, Obama’s science czar, co-authored in the 70′s, which apparently suggests there should be some very radical approaches taken to curb the population bomb… something that in the 70′s was purported to [...]

G8 nations flex their muscles against Mother Nature

canute

 

When lefty goofs in suits get together, you can bet they’re going to agree to do something completely inconsequential, and then get all excited about it, to boot. 

At the G8 summit, which also included some additional 17 industrialized and developing nations, they laid down the law to that no-good wench, Mother Nature.  Who does she [...]

Rasmussen: 54% oppose higher taxes for Universal Health Care

Usually the way these things go is that a general idea gets support, but when the actual specifics come out, popularity begins to sink.

Not so, apparently, with the idea of health care reform, where 54% of Americans are opposed to having their taxes raised for it right out of the gate.  I would have assumed [...]

Cross your fingers for global warming

Antarctic bulge could flood Washington DC

Rather than spreading out evenly across all the oceans, water from melted Antarctic ice sheets will gather around North America and the Indian Ocean. That’s bad news for the US East Coast, which could bear the brunt of one of these oceanic bulges.

Once the ice melts, the release of pressure [...]
