Here is a short statement or sketch on something that I hope to develop some more in the near future. I speak of the comparatively new and alarming trend in Christian circles toward the demonization of certain basic foods. I am not speaking of those who have genuine allergies, but rather to a larger, culture-wide …
Let It Snow
Today is June 10 and, as I look out my window, the snow is coming down steadily and briskly. And, to pervade the whole thing with a delicious sense of irony, if I don’t accept the tenets of global warming, I am a dangerous lunatic. If I play my cards right, one day I might …
The Pope and Climate Change
Careful readers of this blog will recall that I had a little fun at the Vatican’s expense some time ago on the issue of global warming. In the article I linked to at that time, it mentioned that the pope was going to use his speech at the UN (just now past) to press for …
The Horse Laugh of Freedom
Earlier this winter, I have posted the occasional anecdotal guffaw at the expense of global warming. Comes now Science to back up all the stalwart lovers of liberty who dared to laugh the Horse Laugh of Freedom. Turns out, this year has seen a dramatic plunge in temperature, all around the world, according to all …
Belay My Last
A few weeks ago, I had some fun posting pictures of all the global warming that was making it hard to get up the hill to my house. One response was that one local cooling variation does not a global global warming hysteria undo, and point taken. But it turns out to have been the …
Pressure Testing My Footings
We got six guys to come up to our house today to shovel off our deck, and it took them about an hour. We weren’t interested in finding out just how many feet of snow it would take to kick off some unplanned renovations at our house this summer. Many thanks to the guys, and …
I’m Just Saying . . .
Here is my lovely wife Nancy on our front walk this morning. We are expecting another load of snow tonight, so we’ll see how it goes.
Let’s Just Call It Cold, White Stuff
We should be getting somewhere between 5 inches to a foot of new snow on Thursday. And as it stands, we already have a little walkway shoveled up to our front door, with the current snow coming up to my knees. Nancy and I both have four-wheel drive, so we are still getting up the …
Strange New Respect
The pope appears to have decided to score some easy points with those who are currently whooping the climate change thing. I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, I can’t stand it. Hitching our collective guilt wagon to the bogus science of climate change? But on the other hand, this does do my Protestant …
Facts Be Stubborn
Turns out that fewer than half of scientists who have published on climate change in the last few years believe that there is something to the global warming hooey. Looky here. Turns out that the icebergs may not be melting, and that the totali-science that some are trying to practice these days may be melting. …
