Anthony Watts Stuff

Why I don’t subscribe to Scientific American any more
Posted on August 24, 2011 by Anthony Watts


It is because of beyond stupid fear mongering like this: Are Category 6 Hurricanes coming soon?

Gore Voted Off The IslandReally?

Lest people think this is some sort of “new” fear, I’ll remind them of this from 1969, well before CO2 was bogusly posited by Al Gore and other alarmists to be a “hurricane amplifier”:

From Yahoo Answers:

    Hurricane Camille in 1969 broke the equipment at Keesler Air Force Base (home of the Hurricane Hunter aircraft) in Biloxi, MS when her winds reached somewhere around 205 to 210 mph. So we’ll really never know just how high her winds were. [Full]


Speaking of Anthony Watts, here's his understandable nutshell summary of Mann’s Hockey Stick, Climategate, and FOI  I mention it only because I've noted a real spike in Global Warming crap on the various Hitler and HBO channels.  I attribute this to Penn State (again) clearing Mann of scientific misbehavior by inventing the "Hockey Stick." That seems to justify a continuation of the stale Goreon-Wacko claims  about farts and exhaling melting ice and killing polar bears. 

I will here offer my own 6 word abstract of Watt's abstract for youse what want it all now. 
Mann lied;
No polar bears died.

I dropped my sub to Scientific American many years ago, they got way too PC for me. Ditto for Astronomical Society of the Pacific.

All organizations eventually lose their way and end up run by idiots.

I have noticed PBS has been running "global warming / CO2" themed Nova programs.. some re-runs from a few years ago...

There seems to be pushing the big lie harder than in the past. Desperation?

Add The New England Journal of Medicine to that list as well.
Too bad.

The Mother Earth News used to be a great resource for living in the country and making do with less,(they had plans for a hybrid gas/electric car you could build yourself) but it also turned into a liberal rag back in the late
80's.

"Backwoods Home" is an excellent replacement for Mother Earth News. No holds barred, gun totin' Libertarian publisher.

Cheesy hit the nail on the head about the Mother Earth News losing its way in the '80's. But the early issues are still gems and a great source for practical alternates after the SHTF or when you finally get fed up and hit the silk. Vintage issues are readily available at low prices.

Sky & Telescope, Sept 2011 issue, has an interesting article about the sunspot cycle, precursors and effects. It boils down to the possibility that the 22 year sunspot cycle is about to hiccup. The result could be another "Maunder Minimum". The "Mini Ice Age" lasted from 1645 until 1715. How inconvenient for little Al.
