Heartland agent at Carleton University

An associate of the Heartland Institute, the thinktank devoted to discrediting climate change, taught a course at a top Canadian university that contained more than 140 false, biased and misleading claims about climate science, an expert audit has found.
The course at Ottawa's Carleton University, which is being accused of bias, was taught for four terms from 2009-2011 by Tom Harris, a featured expert at the Heartland Institute.

Boris, what I don't get is how those involved from Carleton either overlooked or ignored this guy's history. This really makes no sense and the "academic freedom" excuse Carleton is peddling sounds like someone there is furiously trying to cover his ass. Knowing that The Guardian is on this can't sit well with Carleton. If they don't get to the bottom of this their reputation is in the toilet - again.

I guess your vote in support of 'conventional wisdom' - as conveniently supplied by the corporate press - is in.  Honestly, I don't understand how people who think they are labouring to free themselves from prejudice cannot do the legwork necessary to evaluate the case for proposing that all alternative thought to the predictions espoused by the so called Green movement is corporate scandal - and that conformity to some politically whacked standard of acceptable truth is consistent with a so called free society. Another college professor, Dennis Rancourt, got the heave ho in conjunction with leading a class project to evaluate the proposal. Horrors. The students said anthropogenic global warming was b.s. ! Higher education is supposed to teach independent investigation BTW I don't know if you see any connection with other demonizing of independent thought. It has gone to the point that people believe you unhinged unless you meekly submit to your conditioning.  Case in point. "Since its origins, the IPCC has been open and explicit about seeking to generate a ‘scientific consensus’ around climate change and especially about the role of humans in climate change" http://fabiusmaximus.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/18115/ That's InterGOVERNMENTAL Panel on Climate Change....not a scientific agency of independent investigation. I tend to rant about the role of politics in selling prophecy as science. That is the result of chasing the idea of a case against AGW for over 2 years now. It's not a popular pursuit. One must be immune to slander about the intelligence and orientation of one who considers the exercise hogwash enabling an international tax on the use of fire.  The UN proposes an emergency and the UN gets to play with literally trillions in revenue if they can make it fly. Everybody loses sovereignty.  Canadians especially ought to Red Flag such proposals : we've been burned a few times.

How Expensive is it to Track Internet Usage?

One of the aspects of the Bill C-30 story that puzzles me as a network technician is the concept that it will cost ISPs gobs of money to install the equipment necessary to log customer traffic once a warrant has been issued. Today it was reported that the cost will be "$80 million dollars"

What is this $80 million for? Is this to buy equipment at the ISP or is this to cover costs incurred by the federal government to setup some sort of bureaucracy to support the bill? I hate costs without details of what those costs are to be. What most people don't realize is that the capability to log and monitor traffic is baked into most network equipment already. Almost any network equipment sold to businesses has mirror or span port capability built in.

Playing Devil's Advocate on Bill C-30

I assume that if you are reading this, you are already aware of the furor over the "lawful access" provisions in the unintentionally humorously titled "Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act"* which is more formally (and more accurately) titled "An Act to enact the Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act and to amend the Criminal Code and other Acts" AKA Bill C-30.
Another privacy concern is that police departments will create databases based on the content collected from TSPs. In that database will be the history of all the data obtained from TSPs. To my mind, this contradicts the meaning of Part I section 17: "19. Information that is provided in response to a request made under subsection 16(1) or 17(1) must not, without the consent of the individual to whom it relates, be used by the agency in which the designated person or police officer is employed except for the purpose for which the information was obtained or for a use consistent with that purpose." I find it quite the stretch for a police department to claim that a database archive of all this data is a use consistent with the purpose of the original request

HarperCon Crime Ideology Drives Me Crazy

The only "right" I am interested in as a citizen is the "right" to a safe and prosperous society for everyone. So that means I support pre-crime (heh) policies that reduce or eliminate the circumstances that encourage crime (poverty, lack of education, lack of neighborhood programs, smarter drug policies, etc. etc.)

To sum up the Harper approach so far:
1) Make sure convicted criminals go to prison longer than they have been in the past
2) Do nothing to speed up the trial process so that accused criminals stay in prison longer before they are convicted.
3) Deny parole more often so that convicts stay behind bars and have no incentive to atone for their crimes and change their behaviour.
4) Take away measures that help convicts learn skills and humanize their experiences (ending of prison farms)
5) Remove any financial assistance so that released ex-con lose all dignity and any possibility of supporting themselves when released into society.

( So the next time you hear Cons tout 'small government'...laugh out loud

FBI anti-terrorism expert: TSA is useless

  a former FBI Special Agent and head of the Los Angeles Joint Terrorism Task Force Al Qaeda squad, says that the TSA is useless. He says that they don't catch terrorists. He says they won't catch terrorists. He says that they can't catch terrorists

An Utter Waste Of Time

Question Period is supposed to be a means to maintain accountability. The whole concept revolves around the notion of the government answering to the issues of the day, the opposition playing its role in holding them to account, that’s the theory. In practice, an embarrassing display of nonsensical answers, it’s as though two parallel worlds exist that can never collide, just get the charade over with, make it until 3pm and everyone gets out of jail. Should anything of substance actually transpire, this is a seismic event, an anomaly that is really a byproduct of random chance, dumb luck, rather than true intent.

People who need a slap

using social media to draw attention to information already in the Public Domain as a response to proposed fascist legislation is EXACTLY like rendering meaningless the votes of swaths of the Canadian electorate and making a mockery of our very democracy. 

The Six "S" of Scandal Stickiness 

From my experience, there are 6 keys to a scandal "sticking", so let's see how Robocon stacks up. Robocon has more potential to inflict damage on Harper and the Conservatives than anything they've faced during their 6 years in power. Whether or not it does will depend on who exactly was involved.

Let Women’s History Month Begin!

 Gerda Lerner, one of the first American women’s historians, said in 1986, “When I started working on women’s history about thirty years ago, the field did not exist. People didn’t think that women had a history worth knowing.” Women’s History Month as it’s celebrated now wasn’t established until 1987, expanded to the whole month six years after Sen. Orrin Hatch and Rep. Barbara Mikulski co-sponsored a a joint Congressional resolution proclaiming a national Women’s History Week

Trillion-dollar U.S. class action lawsuit is launched to pursue a corrupt elite that lied and played crooked politicians to cheat the world about global warming and the international financial crisis.
As a rule I avoid the quagmire of open political commentary. But in this incredible instance I do believe all need to join the dots and be fully cognizant about topical matters that fundamentally shape government policy. To that end I must draw to your attention the world's largest class action lawsuit now underway in the U.S. which is exposing a $26 trillion fraud being perpetrated against us by the financial elite.

That Bogus Greenhouse Gas Whatchamacallit Effect
January-16-12 9:22 AMNASA Scientist James Hansen Arrested, August 2...NASA Scientist James Hansen Arrested, August 29, 2011

Red-faced global warming policymakers are now back tracking as independent experts increasingly discredit the cornerstone of climatology: the greenhouse gas effect (GHE).
One such whistleblower is Dr. Pierre R Latour who explains adroitly below how his NASA colleague, septuagenarian Dr. James Hansen, concocted a mythical 33°C [91.4°F] atmospheric greenhouse gas global warming phenomenon.
NASA's global warming guru, Dr. James Hansen, will go down in history as climate science's Bernie Madoff for his pivotal role in touting the GHE hypothesis. This is no imprudent comparison - just “follow the money” as they say. It was Hansen’s now legendary doomsaying pronouncements to the U.S. Congress in 1981 that spawned a hundred billion dollar, thirty-year government Ponzi scheme (Madoff scammed ‘only’ $50 billion).

Earth’s Elemental Petrol Production
January-13-12 11:45 AM
earthEnergy is neither created nor destroyed.  The First Law of Thermodynamics is very straight forward and adding the fact that matter and energy are related, the corollary is also true, that matter is neither created nor destroyed.  Energy may only change in form, or to matter.  Matter may only change in form or to energy.
Using this basic guideline, the objective scientist then begins his search for the various transition points where original states change to new states.  It is the transition of matter to energy that powers our Sun.  It is the transition of this solar energy at our magnetosphere, in our atmosphere, within our oceans and within the molten Earth, that creates our climate and our biosphere.  To ignore any of these transition zones only insures an incorrect analysis of the total energy-matter system.

The hitherto unseen correspondence between leading climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer and former NASA and DuPont engineer, Dr. Pierre R Latour, one of an increasing number of experts now attacking the crumbling science, exposes a key fallacy in the so-called man-made global warming theory.

Desperate Climate Campaigner Sinks to Criminality to Smear Skeptics

Eight Questions to kill the Kyoto Climate Protocol in 2012
December-15-11 9:59 AM
As Canada becomes the first major nation to cut and run from the UN’s global warming scam a prominent environmentalist now plunges another deadly dagger into the soft underbelly of junk climate science.
Geologist and radio and TV broadcaster Leighton Steward succinctly points to eight crucial unanswered questions to slay the mythical climate dragon. The questions Steward poses should now be thrust to the fore as nations scramble for excuses to pull the plug on the Kyoto Protocol’s life support after the abject failure of the UN’s COP17 talks in Durban

.Post-normal Science, its Culture and how it Retards Learning in our Universities

A post mortem examination of the collapse of the man-made global warming scare points to the cancer of post-normal science that infected two generations of academia and led to the criminal waste of $100 billion in public grants for junk science.
Climatology has held an iron grip on science funding since the late 1980’s. But this infant field of research suffered two hammer blows to its credibility last week.

Greenhouse Gas Debate Sees Believers Resort to False Claims and Appeals to Authority
November-21-11 10:03 AM
Judith Curry

New fracas erupts in the ongoing scientific war of words between big hitters defending the discredited greenhouse gas theory of global warming and skeptics who say it is all junk science.
As a new chapter in this debate reopens on Curry’s popular blog, Climate Etc. below we summarize the latest blow by blow action.
In ‘Letter to the Dragon Slayers’ Professors Judith Curry and Grant Petty, defend the so-called ‘greenhouse gas effect’  (GHE) of global warming by clashing intellectual swords with the increasingly influentual ‘Slayers’ group of scientists. The Slayers claim there is no evidence at all for any man-made global warming because the GHE is shown to be bogus both by experiment and real world observation.

The BEST is the Worst: Global Temperature Measures Redux; Not!
October-30-11 7:15 AMstevensonscreen
Anyone who knows anything about global climate knows the Earth has generally warmed since the 1680s. Politics has made that period, which covers the Industrial Revolution, of climatic interest as people wanted to prove that human production of CO2 was causing warming. The problem, ignored by proponents, is that it has warmed naturally since the nadir of the Little Ice Age in the 1680s. The issue isn’t the warming, but the cause.
The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) says,
“Our aim is to resolve current criticism of the former temperature analyses, and to prepare an open record that will allow rapid response to further criticism or suggestions.”

Denver Hears Slayers' Greenhouse Gas Message Loud and Clear
October-08-11 2:21 PMradiomic
Dr. Tim Ball was interviewed on the Mike Rosen Radio show on October 4, 2011. Mike Rosen is a morning show with AM 850 KOA Radio Station in Denver, Colorado. The 850 KOA website is www.850koa.com. Tim Ball is a co-author of Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory published by Stairway Press (www.StairwayPress.com). Transcription by Ken Coffman (KLC), Publisher, Stairway Press.
Mike Rosen: On many occasions, we have brought forth for your edification and to support your position if you’re one of those who are skeptical about the impact of human activity on climate change...we’ve brought forth any number of qualified experts in this area. Contrary to what you’re told by the liberal media—there are people who are qualified scientists who haven’t jumped on the AGW—that’s Anthropogenic Global Warming—theory. It’s just that the liberal media doesn’t give voice to very many of those and deny the existence of more, much more, than a handful ...and a growing number I should note, of scientists who have not entered that bandwagon...or left the bandwagon.

IPCC Predictions (Scenarios) Always Wrong Therefore Science Wrong
 October-05-11 11:15 AM
A simple but powerful definition of science is the ability to predict. If your predictions are wrong there is clearly something wrong with your science. The failure, or at best imprecision of weather forecasts, indicate it is not a science. Supporters of “official” climate science, produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), tried to distance themselves from this problem by saying that they were two different things. The difficulty is climate is an average of the weather; therefore it can only be as precise as the weather.

Michael ‘Climategate’ Mann Suffers Three Legal Blows in Court Escapade
October-04-11 1:03 PM

Discredited global warming scientist, Michael Mann, sees his last-ditch efforts to hide data fall apart as legal experts reveal a mountain of legal precedents against him.
In his recent papers (filed on September 2, 2011) Mann claims ‘academic freedom’ and ‘proprietary materials’ as his defense. But legal experts who have since reviewed Mann’s submission to the Circuit Court of Prince William County, Va., say they are so full of holes they are doomed to fail.

Fifty Climate Experts Catch Washington Post in Global Warming Lies
September-18-11 9:00 AM
Mainstream media mouthpiece left shamefaced as fifty international climate experts break ranks to defy global warming cult and denounce junk science.
Washington Post op-ed writer Richard Cohen was last week caught lying while bad mouthing Texas governor, Rick Perry's presidential candidacy. Cohen, who would have his readers believe humans are dangerously warming the planet, jumped the shark to attack skeptic Perry over his stance on the man-made global warming issue (AGW). Cohen spouted the kooky claim that skeptic scientists “could hold their annual meeting in a phone booth, if there are any left.

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the honest members of the science community to expose and dissolve the dishonest portion of our community, then the world is on notice that a Declaration of Universal Intellection Freedom has been announced. Actions of the Warmist branch of science have now reached the provable state of dishonesty deserving of dissolution.

Carbon Dioxide Not a Well Mixed Gas and Can’t Cause Global Warming
September-04-11 7:23 AM
CO2 generators are used to create fog for a reason. One of the least challenged claims of global warming science is that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a “well-mixed gas.” A new scientific analysis not only debunks this assertion but also shows that standard climatology calculations, applicable only to temperature changes of the minor gas, carbon dioxide were fraudulently applied to the entire atmosphere to inflate alleged global temperature rises.
Acceptance of the “well-mixed gas” concept is a key requirement for those who choose to believe in the so-called greenhouse gas effect. A rising group of skeptic scientists have put the “well-mixed gas” hypothesis under the microscope and shown it contradicts not only satellite data by also measurements obtained in standard laboratory experiments.

Hurricane Irene Makes Obama and U.S. Media Look all Wet
August-29-11 6:35 AM
The damp squib of Hurricane Irene makes fools of America’s sensationalist news media and climate doomsayers. With 300,000 people evacuated New York’s red-faced Mayor Bloomberg is set to blame Barack Obama.
The US President had warned that America’s east coast was in for a “long 72 hours” as he led his government’s disaster command center in Washington. But Hurricane Irene was officially downgraded to a mere tropical storm at 3pm EST on Saturday (August 28, 2011) as Mayor Bloomberg called off the emergency. No tsunami. No Armageddon.

IPCC Censors And Thus CANCELS scientific lecture
August-28-11 2:03 AM
Jean-Pascal van YperseleClaes Johnson, a Swedish Professor of Mathematics maintaining skeptical views on "Anthropogenic Global Warming", sent us a shocking example on how the IPCC´s vice chair, Prof. Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, was intervening a planned lecture at Brussels by directly contacting the responsible secretary general and urging him to "distance" himself from the lecture because Johnson´s views allegedly were "erroneous".
This is one more proof of the IPCC´s actions aimed to silence any skeptical voice.
Whereas such methods strongly remind us of the "Holy Roman Inquisition" and corresponding actions imposed on e. g. Galileo Galilei, the good news, on the other hand, is that Claes Johnson´s views apparently are threatening the IPCC´s lies. What could threaten a lie more than the truth?
The following is taken from Claes Johnson´s blog with his courtesy.

Bogus Greenhouse Gas Numbers Create Waterless Earth 
August-18-11 11:34 AM
According to the numbers fed into government equations for the greenhouse gas effect (GHE) Earth would not have any liquid water at all. This is a key revelation of astrophysicist, Joe Postma’s new paper.
“Is any model that can’t give us liquid water a model worth trusting?” So asks Postma as he goes about providing an alternative Earth climate model that uses the same starting and finishing points as does the GHE i.e. his numbers balance Earth's in = out energy budget.

Magic Realm of Umbrellaman
August-07-11 2:47
Forget all the science fiction, comic book heroes of the past. A new science fiction, comic book hero has emerged, this time with real world powers. Leaping tall buildings and speeding faster than bullets is no challenge for this hero. This superhero commands the Phantom Force of Echo Energy that he can use his powerful umbrella to focus at the errant humans of the planet.
This superhero is directed by the Feudal Few (FF) and aided by the Green Meanies (GM) and a team of white lab-coated Hockey Stickers (HS). Together they intend to redirect all human energy and thereby subvert any remaining free will on Earth, at last ruling all Potential Serfs (PS). Like many superheroes, Umbrellaman is a master of disguises, and until recently, was known as Greenhouseman.

IPCC and Supporters on Treadmill of False Explanations
August-02-11 10:52 AM
A whimsical T-shirt logo says, “Just making it up as I go along.” It’s appropriate for those defending the indefensible hypothesis that human CO2 is causing warming or climate change. It’s the treadmill they ride by proving a theory rather than disproving it, as standard scientific method requires. You have to ‘explain’ facts that don’t fit the hypothesis.
As Huxley said,
“The great tragedy of science – the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.”

 Evidence from Top Climatologist Backs Greenhouse Effect Critics
July-27-11 1:17 PM
New science papers discrediting greenhouse gas effect fit with findings of top climatologist. Emerging group of skeptics re-ignite debate.
The fledgling new organization, Principia Scientific International (PSI) this week publishes the second of what may be a devastating series of new papers dissecting the traditional greenhouse gas effect and exposing the misuse of equations by climatologists. The new findings fit neatly with those of leading skeptic climatologist, Richard Lindzen, of MIT.

Principia Science International
  John O'Sullivan
Here is the world’s first practicable alternative for scientists and members of existing national science associations who feel let down by what appears to be a culture of politicized science.
Professional scientists and related professionals have come together to address that need to form Principia Scientific International (PSI). PSI applies its talents to grow a business with enshrined charitable interests for the benefit of the broader community.
Over the past two decades there has grown a widespread perception of increased corporate and governmental meddling in science; disenfranchised specialists have sought to be heard in the one forum not yet entirely constrained by the gatekeeping mentality of self-serving politicians, media and publishing outlets: the Internet.
With the Internet as our main, but not exclusive, medium of operation we shall redress the balance and by our strength in numbers, advance the work of science authors and advocates seeking to distribute important new ideas/theories untainted by subjective ideology. To achieve our goals it is essential for us to seek to form a large, international subscriber-based association whereby those of talent and merit In this cause may receive this association’s technical, financial and moral support.
