Go to the US government weather authority: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/time-series/global.
Select 12-month, 2001, 2013, Land and Ocean, Display Trend, Per Century, 2001, 2013.
Then click on 'Plot'.
It produces a bar graph which shows that global temperature change since 2000 is statistically insignificant - between -0.3°C and +0.3°C per century, depending on which month you choose (from

When I first read Nafeez Ahmed's book "The War on Freedom", arguing that the US government participated in, or at least had foreknowledge of, the events of September 11th 2001, I took it seriously.
Shortly afterward, I changed my mind, and decided that Ahmed's book, and the rest of the "9/11 truth" conspiracy pseudo-theory *, is the most ludicrous nonsense I have ever seen in my life.

You can't make it up LX - climate skeptics admit mistakes

29 jun 14 |
The defenders of the global warming hypothesis tend to have a 'circle the wagons' attitude. Imagining their ideas are under siege by well-funded 'deniers', they feel they can't admit mistakes. Here is a leading 'denier' fessing up to 'confirmation bias':
"All of that added up to a big heap of confirmation bias, I was so used to Goddard being wrong, I expected it again, but this time Steve Goddard

I commented on an article in the Guardian by Lola Okolosie, which criticized the actor Gary Oldman for offensive language, and the habit of complaining about political correctness as "humorless language policing", as follows, and by deleting my comment, and the replies, the Guardian's moderators confirmed what I said:

The USA produces a diverse range of massacres. Some of them are more comprehensible than others. The murder of four men and two women plus the gunman himself in Santa Barbara on May 23rd is easier to understand than most. British left-wing blogger Richard Seymour entered the fray with Taking Elliot Rodger Seriously.Seymour writes "The sickening logic of Rodger’s misogyny, the way it draws on

A black day for Scotland and rally drivers everywhere

I once had a vacation in idyllic rural Scotland. The only problem was, they were having a car rally, and I was kept up all night. So I was happy to read of the death of several of these morons: http://news.sky.com/story/1272952/scotland-rally-crashes-three-spectators-killed:
