Looks like John Hindraker is trying to get himself sued. Of course, he’s a lawyer.
And speaking of Professor Mann, Steve McIntyre has eviscerated him yet again.

To Reduce Chances Of Death By Getting Tangled In Bedsheets
…reduce your cheese consumption.
Of course, they don’t discuss how many cases involve BDSM.
Cholesterol Numbers
Is it time to stop worrying about them?
I think so. I still measure it, but I don’t really care about total. Since I went partially paleo, my ratio’s good, and my triglycerides are almost unmeasurable. I’m sure as hell not going to take statins to get it down.
Vampire Rejuvenation
More thoughts on young blood, from Derek Lowe.
Soylent
A New Yorker reporter gives it a try.
I haven’t read the whole thing yet.
[A while later]
OK, I did read it. I was amused to learn that he was hawking it at my own local Whole Foods. One concern I have is his use of seed oils. Canola has too much omega 6 for my health. I’d use olive instead, though it costs more. If you don’t use virgin, though, it doesn’t have to cost that much.
Apollo And The Pyramids
An analysis from Randall Munroe.
An Anti-Aging Hormone
…that could make you smarter?
Heck, I’d be happy with the anti-aging part myself. Though I have a commenter or two that could stand to be smarter.
The Climate Debate Is Over
…and the alarmists lost.
[Update a while later]
Why is Obama getting a pass on his climate lies?
Really, at this point, why does anyone believe anything he says any more?

Apparently, carb reduction can help with GERDS.
The National Climate “Assessment”
Judith Curry has the goods on this latest bout of junk science:
My main conclusion from reading the report is this: the phrase ‘climate change’ is now officially meaningless. The report effectively implies that there is no climate change other than what is caused by humans, and that extreme weather events are equivalent to climate change. Any increase in adverse impacts from extreme weather events or sea level rise is caused by humans. Possible scenarios of future climate change depend only on emissions scenarios that are translated into warming by climate models that produce far more warming than has recently been observed.
Roger Pielke approves.
