News and commentary on recent advances in the quest by the environmental left to destroy the world's economy through the politicization of global warming (climate change) and the suppression of those who dissent from the "consensus"
A note about the frequency of blog posts
Real life often takes me away from blogging, so don't assume this site has been abandoned just because it's been a while since I last posted. Whenever opportunity and motivation converge favorably, I'll be here.
Al Gore, call your office
"To assume that [climate change] is a problem is to assume that the state of earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change."
-- NASA Administrator Dr. Michael Griffin, May 30, 2007 interview
To quote H.L. Mencken...
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
To paraphrase H.L. Mencken...
The urge to save [the planet] is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.

About the Heretic
I have degrees in computer science and meteorology, which instantly makes my opinions on global climate change more credible than those of Al Gore. Just a thought.
My first post includes a discussion of my motivations for doing this blog.Contrary to stereotypes promoted by the AGW alarmists, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a paid shill of the energy industry. However, if you represent the energy industry and you wish to shower money on me in exchange for my advocacy, there is no need for a formal agreement. Just leave bags of cash on my doorstep and I'll be happy.

A note about the Link classifications
I have done my best to classify the links into the stated categories based on my impression about the general thrust of each of these sites. Sites classified as 'Fellow Heretics' will not necessarily agree with me on all issues related to climate change -- they merely contain content that unapologetically diverges from the consensus. Sites classified as 'True Believers' are those that have accepted the essence of the AGW hypothesis -- but some present their views reasonably rather than in the hysterical fashion of the CoGW. The sites listed under 'GW/CC News' can often be allocated to one of the above other categories (mostly to the 'True Believers'), but I have separated them here because of their primary focus on news.
