Top MIT scientist: Newest UN climate report is ‘hilariously’ flawed

Not all scientists are panicking about global warming — one of them finds the alarmism “hilarious.”
A top climate scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology lambasted a new report by the UN’s climate bureaucracy that blamed mankind as the main cause of global warming and whitewashed the fact that there has been a hiatus in warming for the last 15 years.
“I think that the latest IPCC report has truly sunk to level of hilarious incoherence,” Dr. Richard Lindzen told Climate Depot, a global warming skeptic news site. “They are proclaiming increased confidence in their models as the discrepancies between their models and observations increase.”

5 ways to make "beer" money or supplement your retirement income.

"I'm hungry.  I wish they'd hurry up."
1.  Sell TIME, literally. Here's how:  go to a popular casual family dining place on days when it is likely to be crowded and a line of folks are waiting to get a table.  It needs to be a place that gives you an electronic coaster that lights up when your name reaches the top of the list for serving.  Go to the place just as the queue begins to grow.  Place your name as a party of four with the hostess and get a coaster.  After about 10 minutes and the queue is now at least 20 minutes before being called, find a family about halfway down the line - look for an impatient looking patriarch - then offer them your placeholder in exchange for theirs AND a tip or a small fee (say, five dollars or more if its particularly crowded or prom night). They will be glad to pay for the 15 or 20 minutes you save them in wait.  Then you wait ten minutes and repeat with the device you traded for.  Keep repeating until you make enough $ or the line gets too short.  There are several ways to work this job.  It's best if there are 4 or 5 different places to choose from; then you can work them on a rotation so as not to draw too much attention to yourself.   I made $300 over the weekend for about 7 hours of my time.  Oh, eat before you start because while your name is in queue, you don't have to actually eat there.

Climate report by UN international panel says warming 'extremely likely' man-made

Hot Dog, a Panel has spoken.  What's important in this headline is the word "panel" which refers to the BS nature of this "finding".  No Science Here!.  And for the record, while reports like this one predict a linear increase in CO2 absorption in the atmosphere and a correspondingly linear increase in Temperature,  and a similar linear rise in sea levels; they completely overlook the fact that the RATES of increase decline elliptically, rather than stay the same, i.e. as more CO2 enters the atmosphere it reaches a point where additional CO2 has less and less effect so that even if man-made climate change is real (which i don't believe it is), the effect will never become DISASTROUS due to natural limiting factors.  Oh BTW there is no evidence of Global rise in sea levels.

Moses, St. Paul, Joan d'arc and the 'sacred disease.'

A stained glass window showing Moses holding the Ten Commandments.

Some 2,500 years ago Hippocrates wrote the first text on epilepsy, the ‘Sacred Disease.’  The ancients called it so believing  that sufferers were blessed with divine messages and visions. Hippocrates description is now known as temporal lobe epilepsy.


Symptoms include specific visual and auditory hallucinations and frequently religious hallucinations, the sense of  ‘something greater in the universe,’ and strong religious feelings.  Researchers find evidence of ‘epilepsy like’ phenomena in descriptions of some charismatic religious figures, including Joan of Arc, St. Paul, and Muhammad.   Ellen White, the founder of the Seventh Day Adventists and a religious visionary, clearly suffered symptoms of epilepsy.  Likewise, historical descriptions of Joseph Smith (Mormon visionary)  suggest he suffered from it as well.  The director of the epilepsy center at New York University suspects when Moses saw the burning bush, it might have been God — but more likely a temporal lobe seizure.

Are Humans hard-wired, physiologically to believe in a God? Recent evidence for the SPIRIT molecule!

DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) is a molecule found abundantly in living things, including plants, animals and humans. No one knows why it exists so commonly nearly everywhere.  Under the right conditions the Spirit Molecule (dmt) reliably induces hallucinations of a spiritual and/or religious nature - visions, mystical states, and direct communication with cosmic beings.  It is believed that the source of the chemical in humans is in the Pineal Gland. Putting this information together might tempt one to believe that if our biochemistry leads us to believe in spiritual and/or religious ideas, then perhaps one might reason that this is evidence that there is a Supreme Deity - else what purpose would the DMT serve?  How can we dispute that?
Well, let's see...read more
