What Global Warming?

By -
It's perfectly normal on January 13, in New York City, to see:


Bulbs emerging!


Parsley from last summer still going strong outdoors!

    Should I blog about the record cold in India and the Middle East to prove the alarmists are wrong? Or would we then say, "C'mon Bob, the scientists tell us you have to look at long term trends. Man you deniers are annoying."

      "Should I blog about the record cold in India and the Middle East..."

      To prove that the climate is undergoing drastic changes? C'mon Bob, get off the teat of the oil companies and look at what is staring us in the face!

 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean.
