US Biofuels increase rather than decrease CO2 emissions.
An article published in Climate Change under the title Carbon balance effects of U.S. biofuel production and use DeCicco, J.M., Liu, D.Y., Heo, J. et al. Climatic Change (2016). doi:10.1007/s10584-016-1764-4 comes to the conclusion that: Once estimates from the literature for process emissions and displacement effects including land-use change are considered, the conclusion is that U.S. biofuel use to date is associated with a net increase rather than a net decrease in CO2 emissions. Uh-oh! Another nail in the coffin of the AGW hoax, AbstractThe use of liquid biofuels has expanded ... more »
Glickson, consensus and hysteria: the state of alarmism
*Anthony Cox* Andrew Glikson is implacable in his alarmism. His latest effort is to organise 154 fellow academics, all on the public teat, to write a letter pleading to shut down coal and basically Australia’s economy. The letter is a cliché of alarmist platitudes and shibboleths. One such cliché is misanthropy. Glikson and his fellow alarmists agree with Turnbull’s ridiculous statement that human influence on Earth is a *massive science experiment*with *catastrophic* results. Glikson is like other alarmists who compare human influence to 4 atomic bombs going off every second. Why ... more »

Maine's Racist Governor Loses Grip Once Again

[image: Image: Ancient iron and copper furnaces in Western North Carolina] The European Bronze Age ran from 2500 BC through 11259 BC.

Some form of trade contact was then sustained through to the Roman era but ended with the collapse of the Western empire and the advent of Islam.

A Look At Russia's Version Of The A-10 Warthog
*National Interest*: *Russia's A-10 Warthog: Why the Su-25 Frogfoot Is a Flying Tank* The Su-25 Frogfoot, known as the Grach or “Rook” by Russian pilots, is one of those aircraft that may not be at the cutting edge of technology, but still has seen widespread service around the world because it offers an effective and useful solution to the need to blast targets on the ground. As such, its obvious stablemate is the American A-10 Thunderbolt II attack plane. But while the U.S. Air Force wants to retire the A-10 starting in 2022, the Su-25 is undergoing extensive upgrades to keep wi... more »

Islam in Australia: myths and common media positions part 4
*Anthony Cox* I was listening to talk-back recently and the issue of relative population increase between Muslims and Non-Muslims was being discussed. This is an aspect of Islam which is rarely discussed by the political and media class. In Australia the comparison is easily resolved by looking at Census data. In Australiain 1981 the Australian population was 14.927 million; in 1991 17.284 million and at the time of the 2011 Census 22.34 million. The rate of increase in the Australian population between 1981 and 1991 was 16%. The rate of increase between 1991 and 2011 was 29%. T... more »

Sherwood District Court Judge Milas runs his own ‘debtors’ prison,’ and found Lee Robertson, a chemotherapy patient who struggled paying debts amounting to $200, worthy of being put behind bars.

Using the world’s most powerful telescopes, Yale University astronomer Pieter van Dokkum says that scientists quickly realised that the galaxy, named Dragonfly 44, was unlike any other galaxy previously observed. Phys.org reports: The galaxy, Dragonfly 44, is located in the nearby Coma constellation and had been overlooked until last year because of its unusual composition: It is a diffuse “blob” about the size of the Milky Way, but with far... more »

"What Is The Zeigarnik Effect?"
*"What Is The Zeigarnik Effect?"* by PsyBlog "One of the simplest methods for beating procrastination in almost any task was inspired by busy waiters. It's called the Zeigarnik effect after a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik, who noticed an odd thing while sitting in a restaurant in Vienna. The waiters seemed only to remember orders which were in the process of being served. When completed, the orders evaporated from their memory. Zeigarnik went back to the lab to test out a theory about what was going on. She asked participants to do twenty or so simple little tasks in the l... more »

*EPA: The Ethanol Protection Agency* Maybe the initials “EPA” should stand for the Ethanol Protection Agency, as environmental protection seems just too costly and time consuming for the agency. The EPA recently admitted that it has not been in compliance with the 2007 law that requires the agency to study the environmental impact of the ethanol mandate and report its findings to Congress every three years. So far, envirofascist bureaucrats have only met the law’s requirements once in 2011. The EPA’s excuse is that it just doesn’t have enough funding or time and therefore has simpl...more »
There Oughta Be a Law Dept.: Is there away around the horrors of drug price extortion?
*THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW* (2/7/1946) [*Click to enlarge.*] *by Ken* Okay, the cartoon feature *There Oughta Be a Law* (1948-84) was generally pretty lame. Still, isn't this what invariably comes to mind when horror stories like the latest drug price-extortion scandal break out? Of course, that's probably because the phrase predated the comic, unlike the comic it slavishly imitated, Jimmy Hatlo's *They'll Do It Every Time* (1929-2008), whose name -- as Don Markstein points out on *Toonopedia* -- became a common catch phrase in its own right. And, sure enough, they *will* do it ever... more »
