You can't make it up XXXIII - BBC admits there has been no warming for 15 years

If there had been continuous warming since 1998, the proponents of the theory of anthropogenic global warming would seize on it. But in fact, as even the most servile of their media lackeys report, there has been no world temperature rise for fifteen years:

"Since 1998, there has been an unexplained 'standstill' in the heating of the Earth's ...

I saw the 17-year cicadas in New York in 1996 - now they're back

Why do cicadas pupate and hatch after 17 years? Why is there another species whose breeding season is every 13 years? They are prime numbers. It would be difficult for a predator to evolve to take advantage of these cycles to feast on cicadas. A predator with a four-year cycle would have some chance of parasiting a cicada whose population suddenly expanded each 16 years. Not 17. Or 13.

At least, according to the Guardian it is. 97% of "climate science" papers agree global warming is man-made. That settles it:

The 19-year-old woman who survived after 17 days under the rubble of a collapsed Bangladeshi garment factory says she won't work in the rag trade any more:

In a way, it would be more newsworthy if she said she loves her job, and is determined to get back to it as quickly as possible....

Why it's not always worth helping Google correct their bike map of the USA
|
|
|
04 may 13 |
I corrected the bike map of Adelanto - Victorville, CA in November 2012. I wrote
"El Mirage Rd rapidly becomes a dirt (i.e. sand) road which is very difficult to bicycle".
But Google's 'correction' just continues along El Mirage Rd.. I also added
"Palmdale Rd (CA 18 - CA 138) is definitely not it - it is far too dangerous for bicycles"
but that I had not found an alternative. So the corre...

Scientists say they didn't mention the Higgs particle, because its existence was 'obvious'

"Englert and Brout did not mention it all, no doubt thinking it too obvious, and although we did mention it we omitted to add the obvious comment that the theory would imply a non-zero mass."

"Calling out" - Obama supporters use Maoist techniques to stifle debate

|
26 apr 13 |
"Calling out" is a term used among left-wingers in America. It means "I disagree with you but I can't explain why, so I'm going to try to make you feel ashamed of your views".
Up 'til now, it's mostly been used to 'name and shame' people who don't agree with the dominant paradigm on race, sex, etc.. Now some of Obama's red guards are going to try to use it to silence those who think the evidence f...
