* As a Manhattan Contrarian reader, probably you spent your Thanksgiving day being thankful for the many blessings in your life. * Obviously, that is your moral failing. If you had any moral compass, you would have spent the day feeling guilty. * But wait, you say. What have I done to feel guilty about? Right there is where you’ve got it all wrong. It’s not that you’ve done anything wrong, or even that you’ve done anything at all. Your guilt is collective guilt, not resulting from your own actions, but rather principally resulting from the sins of your ancestors, and transmitted to ... more »

Multiculturalism Does Not Work

Unknown at The Verma Report - 2 hours ago
A nation in which several cultures enjoy an equal status ceases to be a nation; it becomes a “United Nations,” or a disorderly forum where people of different cultural backgrounds squander all their time and energy in squabbling with each other. The history of last 2500 years shows that the United Nations type of nations do not survive for long. I understand that there have been several empires that were multicultural—for instance, the Roman Empire and the British Empire.

XR - The IPCC Are NOT Ignoring Arctic Albedo Effect - Clouds Making World More Reflective In The Tropics More Than Compensate

Robert Walker at Science 2.0 blogs - 5 hours ago
You’ll often hear about the “Ice albedo effect” as a supposed tipping point that the IPCC is ignoring. The idea is that as the Arctic ice melts, it absorbs more heat from the sun, and so warms the planet. What they ignore is that as the planet warms there are also more clouds, especially in tropical regions. This did seem a possibility in the 1980s, and Margaret Thatcher mentions it in her speech to the UN. However, you need to look at the planet as a whole, and we now know that because a warmer world has more clouds in the tropics, the overall global albedo effect is actually a c... more »
