GLOBAL WARMING ALARM BASED ON FAULTY FORECASTING PROCEDURES: COMMENTS ON THE US DEPARTMENT OF STATE’S U.S. CLIMATE ACTION REPORT TH ED.

Once an official or professional shows that he shares the manners, the tastes, the interests of the class, gives lip service to its ideals and shibboleths, and is willing to accommodate the interests of its senior members, he can move profitably among our establishment’s parts. If, for example, you are Laurence Tribe in 1984, Harvard professor of law,… Read More »

This one doom has gradually swallowed up all the others, offering the prospect of one magnificent monolithic doom for all of us to marvel and tremble before.

Christopher Monckton has issued an extensive and detailed critique and refutation of a widely circulated 83-minute personal attack on him by one J.P. Abraham, a lecturer in fluid mechanics at the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota.
