“All CO2-spewing kit now in existence is OK for the planet”
My 1996 Corolla is apparently okay. I just need to keep running it for the next fifteen years. 😉

“‘Is this science, or literature?'”
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you probably know my stance on global warming. Or rather, my former stance: I wasn’t precisely a skeptic, but I wasn’t convinced, because the evidence that was being put forth smelled fishier than a tuna trawler.

It seems that I have a good excuse for keeping my ’96 Corolla on the road — I’m not being cheap, I’m being green! 😉

“Boffins: Atlantic temperature ruled by dust, not CO2”
“Warm ocean, hurricane increases down to clean skies,” according to the subtitle. Hm, I wonder what NASA’s climate experts would say about that?
“I’m a sceptic now, says ex-NASA climate boss”
