Instapundit » Blog Archive » 2009 HURRICANE SEASON a bust. [Prof. Stephen Clark] It should not pass unstated that the predictions you allude to of increasing strength and frequency of Caribbean hurricanes were based on models. These models were based in part on data acquired by the CRU and others, but are based and rely to an even greater extent on a host of other assumptions. So little...

Instapundit is running a quote from Dave Winer about President Obama’s position on Iraq and Afghanistan: “I assumed that because we elected Obama to end the war in Iraq that it went without saying that the war in Afghanistan would be ended as well. Apparently not so.” Dave should have been paying closer attention. Here is a [...]

I like Scientists Behaving Badly much better than Climategate. We don't really need another X-gate. Although this "gate" is more like the original than some of the other "gates" that have been christened as such. Anyway, here's a round up of facts and opinion on the revelations in the hacked emails and data from University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit (CRU). Most of these...

It's out in the mainstream, in a not-too-bad report from the Washington Post. Juliet Eilperin focuses exclusively on the controversy and not the content in this report, which is a story in itself (via Instapundit): While few U.S. politicians bother to question whether humans are changing the world's climate -- nearly ...

So says a reader at Instapundit about the latest revelations regarding the firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin. The reader’s comment comes in response to Byron York’s reporting today on the Friday info dump by the White House on the brewing AmeriCorps scandal. The new documents support the Republican investigators’ conclusion that the White House’s [...]

Whenever you accuse the press of being biased, they and their defenders like to claim that they just follow the stories that the public is interested in. But they also claim that stories involving sex are always popular, so why aren't they covering this one ? The American Spectator reports that Kevin Johnson was accused of sexual misconduct with at least three underage high-school girls who were effectively...

Barack Obama's victory in the presidential election, combined with congressional gains for Democrats, will prompt a wave of soul-searching on the right. Among other things, we will be asking: What is the road back from the political wilderness? Where can we look for hope that the next four years will be a temporary lurch to the left from which America will soon recover? Fortunately, a long search is...

More hope and change… Obamacare will penalize uninsured Americans but uninsured aliens will get a pass. What a shock. Keith Hennessey reported, via Instapundit: Under Leader Reid’s amendment, in the year 2019 about 16 million U.S. citizens would be uninsured and be forced to pay a penalty tax of almost $800 per year. About eight million illegal aliens [...]

Almost a week ago I ran across this Wall Street Journal column at Instapundit regarding the dire straits of state finances in both Michigan and California. Both of those states have well reported problems. In Michigan we see some evidence of how well that state is doing by looking in part at Detroit as we did on Friday. I wasn't going to excerpt, but let's look at California: As of July 2009, California's...

[Dubious claim: Global warming detected 4,000 meters beneath the ocean's surface] At such depths and being so remote, Snelgrove assumed they would find little evidence of human impacts on habitat and ecology. But even at 4,000 meters he said they detected the effects of climate change through warming temperatures and a depletion of food sources. [Can we see some data to back up this claim'] Green Inc....

Instapundit has this embedded, but it's not NBC's copy so they will probably get it pulled. The bloom is certainly off Obama's onion and this opening sequence for SNL is absolutely wicked. It takes a minute to get rolling, you...
