Eco-Kook Seeks Replacement Name for ‘Homo-Sapiens’

Filed Under Global Warming, History, Science & Nature | 10 Comments

This guy needs a hobby: For about 250 years, our species has been known as Homo sapiens, a scientific name in Latin that means “wise man.” Given the havoc humans are wreaking on natural systems, putting ourselves and so many other living things in peril, we don’t deserve this name, contends Julian Cribb, an Australian [...]

Did you feel the earthquake? Some people here in Michigan are reporting that they felt the ground move, but usually when that happens it turns out to be that Michael Moore fell out of his chair reaching for the KFC bucket.

Filed Under Global Warming, Moonbats, Science & Nature | 17 Comments

Do they really wonder why growing numbers of people are so skeptical? It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim.

Filed Under Global Warming, Science & Nature | 7 Comments

A flashback to a couple of years ago from the guy who looks down on us “deniers” because of our inferior education on all matters of science: ***** More proof that Al Gore’s either prone to wild exaggeration or is just a moron — possibly a little of both. That’s the same Gore who’s now [...]

‘The Eagle Has Landed’: 42 Years On

Filed Under History, Science & Nature | 11 Comments

History was made 42 years ago today, as Apollo 11 touched down on the surface of the moon. It’s also my son’s 16th birthday, which means that my car insurance will very soon cost about as much as a moon shot, so I think that’s a fitting tribute. Out of all of the moon landing [...]

Think Progress: Run For Your Lives, Climate Deniers, the Tornadoes are Coming After You!

Filed Under Global Warming, Politics, Science & Nature | 23 Comments

Think Progress didn’t even wait until the funerals of the victims were over before trying to shamelessly politicize a weather event that has now killed over 300 people while trying to lead “deniers” to believe they had it coming: They do mention the storms were the worst “in decades,” but don’t seem interested to ask [...]

Filed Under Politics, Science & Nature | 13 Comments

In February the EPA allowed Shell to appeal a decision on Arctic drilling (they had to appeal to the EPA so guess what happened).
