PROFESSOR Peter Ridd is a physicist at James Cook University who has dared to question scientific findings that purport to show the Great Barrier Reef is in trouble. Specifically, he has been formally censured by the University and told to remain quiet about the matter – or risk his job. The issue dates back to […]
I can’t find a good photograph of Diane Ainsworth – one that does her justice. Thirty years ago, she had a cheeky smile, deep-set eyes, mousey-coloured thick wiry hair, and a very thin waist. We were friends at boarding school, and in the same hockey team: I was the centre-forward and she my fast and […]
GROUPS of people, by their nature tend to seek out a consensus, but groups are more resilient and more likely to get closer to the truth when they are open to new ideas and when they confront dissent with rational argument. So, I’ve been very tolerant at this website of what many would call trolling. […]
Jennifer, I would like to share a photograph of a ‘magical place’ from a cross-country hike, from several years ago, of the Enchanted Pools loop, in the Northern Sierras. The amateur photographer is tiocampo. Here’s a link to all of the photos taken by Frank Farmer (aka tiocampo) on that day. http://tinyurl.com/c2rsa5t He includes a […]
Jen, The Beach Stone Curlews (Esacus giganteus) are more common up north but are getting rare at the southern end of their range. It should be the other way round if AGW was real. We travel and camp in these sorts of small boats. Jim (Sandy Straits, Queensland)

“LET me get this right… The fraudster who runs the IPCC global warming scam and makes millions from that office Employs the bloke who gave the scientific evidence for glacier melt in the Himalayas totally removing them from the face of the earth by 2035 Over the phone To a bloke […]
The Science and Public Policy Institute has published an analysis of the leaked climategate emails. This 149-page document takes the emails in chronological order and shows, with comments on each message, how science was perverted. In the introductory material the report says: The entire industry of “climate science” was created out of virtually nothing, by […]
FOR MUCH of the Northern Hemisphere, the cold is abating. As climate scientists long realized, a short period does not create a trend. Even global warming advocates, who insisted that the 1998 El Nino warming was a trend, are now claiming that the cold does not contradict their warming trend.
