Bishop Hill and Comment Moderation
BishopHill has been having problems with comment moderation. The comments are getting completely out of hand. Once again, please do not call people names. Stay on topic. I’m simply snipping whole comments now, because I do not have time to edit our people’s poor behaviour. Perhaps if people would have more courtesy towards their opponents [...]

Denialists become Superfluous
OR Who Needs Enemies when you have Friends like These Climate Psychology is a blog specialising in mirror-posting articles from one side of the climate change argument, but with more lurid titles.

To compare Environmentalists to Baptists is to insult Baptists
The THES, directed at a British audience, compares BP and environmentalists to bootleggers and Baptists – they have common cause. However, some British Baptists may take deep offence at environmentalists being likened to them as (from the mainstream viewpoint of the Baptist Union of Great Britain) the following tends to be true. 1) Each person [...]

According to the Times, Lord Stern has gone Vegetarian in an attempt to save the planet. The simple reason is that methane (which cattle and pigs produce in vast quantities) is 23 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.

Green Party Manipulates the Data AGAIN
I posted last month that the Green Party could not analyse data on it’s core competency – tackling climate change. Yesterday, (June 2nd) they released the results of an opinion poll for tomorrow’s European elections. They are forecast to get 15% of the votes.
