In music, one huge factor is copying people. Stevie Ray Vaughan not only knew every Albert King lick, he knew them well enough to use them in new ways. To be a good musician, you need vocabulary and facility. Learning to play other peoples

No one has more than a cursory understanding of how climate works. That's why there was no science called 'Climatology', until people realized it was a vehicle for doing 'Post Normal' Science. http://buythetruth.wordpress.com/2009/10/31/c

Here is the most recent sign that that data is 'cooked'. On Tuesday, the Moscow based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) issued a report claiming that the Hadley Center for Climate Change based at the headquarters of the British Meteorolo

'De-listed' stocks are another factor - the worst performing stocks are removed from the exchange, giving a higher average. Inflation itself is a very tricky thing - technology is very deflationary but this is ignored by the market basket.

From a recent paper by two German Physicists (a) there are no common physical laws between the warming phenomenon in glass houses and the fictitious atmospheric greenhouse effects, (b) there are no calculations to determine an average surfa

So blizzards have nothing to do with cold temperatures ? The week of December 15th - 815 new snowfall records, 304 new cold records, and 403 lowest maximum temperature records. Seems like they go together to me.

There were 877 new snowfall records set this week. That would be rather unlikely if we are experiencing catastrophic warming. Also there is this (from Watts Up With That) "Keep in mind, everyone sorta has to admit that CO2 by itself doesn’

"I have to cop out on that." This is the kind of intellectual laziness that almost let the nonsense of AGW succeed. Fortunately there are people like Watt (check out surfacestations.org) and McKintyre (Climate Audit) who have the skills and

No, the flawed data sets and 'tricks' were reused for many papers. There was a tight circle of scientist who published most of the global warming nonsense.

It's now clear that there is no such thing as 'climate science' - the climate is too complex for us to model in any meaningful way.

Anyone who says they have a good computer model of the climate is either ignorant, stupid, corrupt or some combination thereof.

No, it failed to cure the depression - World War II cured the depression. It was not practiced from the 40's to the 70's. The average family paid 4% in federal taxes in 1950. JFK cut taxes in the early 60's which caused a spurt of economic

Funny how people who have no involvement whatsoever in the music business seem to know all about it and how to fix it. Take a look at Led Zeppelin. In 1969 they recorded LZI on their own dollar, signed a great record deal and always owned a
