About That Ocean-Warming Study
They screwed the pooch. And we’re not all gonna die from overheated oceans. Good for Nic Lewis. And this demonstrates once again of the lack of value of peer review.
Funny how, like “mistakes” in reporting on politics, these errors always seem to go in one direction.
The Mental-Health “Experts”
Time to dethrone them.
Yes, the gun grabbers want to grab the guns, while ignoring the real common element here. And experts in general, whether in nutrition, climate or otherwise, seem to be highly overrated, which is one of the things that gave us Trump.
Claire Lehmann And Quillette
An interesting story on a provocative, but necessary web site.
Exo-Mars
Bob Zimmerman examines the planned landing site.
Enceladus
Breakthrough and NASA have signed a Space Act Agreement for support of a private mission. This is the most likely way for it to happen, and it will probably happen before a Europa mission (it probably would have even with Culberson, given the requirement to use SLS).
My Latest Space-Policy Piece
…has gone live on line. The issue has the theme of a space renaissance, also containing a very technical article by Bob Zubrin on Moon Direct, and a piece by Micah Meadowcroft on why space settlers may be doomed to disappointment.

Elon Musk
We need him, and others like him.
1.5 Degrees C
Thoughts on the latest non-news from Judith Curry:
IMO, even with erroneous attribution of extreme weather/climate events and projections using climate models that are running too hot and not fit for purpose of projecting 21st century climate change, the IPCC still has not made a strong case for this massive investment to prevent 1.5C warming.
No kidding.
