- A Return To Superstition & Witchcraft: ‘The idea that witches lay waste to crops was once conventional wisdom’
'The witches themselves, however, were simply climate-change scapegoats...The climate alarmist community is doing exactly the same thing. They assign blame for cyclical changes in weather to all people who don't perceive the world in the same muddled fashion as themselves. The hilarious part is that these same superstitious nutcases imagine that they are intelligent and wise'
- Nobel Prize Winning Physicist Ivar Giaever: ‘Is climate change pseudoscience?…the answer is: absolutely’ — Derides global warming as a ‘religion’
'He derided the Nobel committees for awarding Al Gore and R.K. Pachauri a peace prize, and called agreement with the evidence of climate change a 'religion'... the measurement of the global average temperature rise of 0.8 degrees over 150 years remarkably unlikely to be accurate, because of the difficulties with precision for such measurements—and small enough not to matter in any case: “What does it mean that the temperature has gone up 0.8 degrees? Probably nothing.”

'As the climate-change theory crumbles, expect its supporters to be more vocal in its defence, more insistent that the science is ironclad...Like the cultish followers of any faddish religion when it nears the end of its fashionableness, they will proclaim their views even more vociferously and denounce more forcefully all those who disagree'

- NBC: California’s global warming law making ‘some companies millions of dollars without significant benefits to the environment or significant reductions in greenhouse gases’
'While Cap and Trade is being sold as the first step towards reversing global warming, NBC Bay Area's Investigative Unit discovered some critics who point to the very law and say there are loopholes built into it that allow the program to be 'gamed' to make some companies millions of dollars without significant benefits to the environment or significant reductions in greenhouse gases'

New Study: 100-Year Flood Events Are Globally Decreasing In Frequency & Probability Since 1970
"The probability of a 100-year flood event is now so rare it has only been occurring once every 358 years on average since 1970." ...
"In present-day conditions, 100-year flood events have globally become so rare that they now (since 1970) only occur once every 358 years on average. And 50-year floods only occur once every 152 years on average.
With the cooler climate conditions of the 1970s, there was a 45% probability that a 50-year flood would occur. In today’s conditions, however, there is only an 18% chance that a 50-year flood will occur."

We should return to Michael Crichton’s way of thinking
"I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled." — Michael Crichton
