Slowing Medical Costs
It’s not happening as a result of ObamaCare.
I’m also worried about a slowdown in innovative medical tech. And of course, a lot of people predicted it.
The More People Are Exposed To Socialism
…the worse they behave.
No surprise at all. But this will be just one more place in which the Left is anti-science.
[Update a few minutes later]
Why the “liberals” (that is, the leftists) are panicking. The tide of science is turning against them.
Credentialed Climate “Deniers”
Scientists And Philosophers
Why they need to talk to each other:
Most of climate science is in ‘shut up and calculate’ mode. This is a very dangerous place to be given the substantial uncertainties, ignorance and areas of disagreement, not to mention the problems/failures of climate models. Climate science needs reflection on the fundamental assumptions, re-interpretations, and deeper thinking. How to reason about the complex climate system, and its uncertainties, is not at all straightforward. And then of course there are the ethical issues, including understanding how the climate debate has gone so badly wrong.
Yes.
Ocean Heat
I have previously written about the fact that the heat in the ocean isn’t there. A Facebook commentator produced some excellent graphs based on the ARGO data which showed NO heat accumulation at any level in the world’s oceans. This lack of warming contradicts completely (Anthropogenic Global Warming) AGW theory as put forward by such AGW stalwarts as Trenberth and England. It also has Hansen scrambling for weird and whacky explanations.
So it is plain in the ARGO era that the oceans are not warming and this contradicts AGW.
Denier.
“Post-Empirical Science”
Yes, yes it is.
Peer Review
Some thoughts on its corruption.
It’s highly overrated, and I’d say that in the age of the Internet, you’ll get much more rapid identification of issues via crowdsourcing.
The Missing Light
It’s a mystery:
As one participating scientist points out, to miss the mark by so much means what we understand about the universe is fundamentally wrong. The universe continues to be exciting, a little scary, but mostly—a mystery.
And yet some have the hubris to tell us they can predict the temperature of the planet and level of the seas decades from now.
The Heartland Climate Conference
An attempt to educate a reporter at Slate. It’s actually sort of a fisking by email.
