With 1,200 limo’s, many driven from Germany and Switzerland, 140 private planes, caviar wedges, and about 41,000 tons of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere – Great record of achievement so far. Then there’s the free sex, provided by the prostitutes to anyone sporting a climate summit pass (watch for counterfeits ladies… and gents for the few who swing in that direction). They claim that the CO2 spewed from the occasional human sexual collisions is carbon neutral, but after seeing this about the EPA’s new edict to regulate CO2….. I’m not so sure.

PS. I haven’t seen anyone else use the term “Dopenhagen”. I own it!!!!!
WOW!!! This is quite extraordinary. The Met has announced it will re-examine all 160 years worth of climate data. It means that those now examining the state of everything that went on have absolutely no confidence that things were done properly. If this is done honestly and in the open, then, whatever the results, I’m all for it!
UPDATE: Well, it looks like they will not be doing a re-do after all. But they are going to make an effort to release more data to to public. That’s something I suppose.

There is a write-up of a review of Sarah Palin’s book at Volokh, and Ilya Somin expreses why he is not a fan of Mrs. Palin. I am of the same opinion, and here is a different problem I have with Palin.
One of the reasons she left office before her first term had expired was that she and her family were losing money having to defend against the various frivolous lawsuits, almost all of which were dismissed. The Palins, according to Sarah, were being bled dry because the laws in Alaska prevent an elected public official from collecting a defense fund for such cases, thus they had to use their own funds to fight some of the suits. OK. I would have rather seen her continue to fight and stay in office, but that is not the issue. What bothers me tremendously is that since leaving office, she has done nothing to change either the campaign finance laws or the laws which govern when and how a sitting official in Alaskan government can be sued, to correct this apparent oversight and make it easier for her successors if they find themselves in a similar situation. You would think that, given her bulldog personality and personal experiences with this matter, she would be a very vocal and visible proponent dedicated to change the system. What it looks like to me is that, now that she doesn’t have to deal with it anymore, now that she has her couple of millions from the book bonus, well, it just doesn’t matter any more. Out of sight, out of mind.
Climate scientist Rodger Peilke Sr. has been interviewed by both Pajamas Media and Andrew Revkin at the New York Times. Both are conscientious and well thought out question and answer sessions on the Climategate affair and it’s grand meaning in the field of Climate science so far. My thinking on the subject is along the same lines, though I do question whether this brou-ha-ha has revealed a fatal flaw in the concept of peer reviewed scientific literature, where a select few can have the ability to screen out papers and ideas they don’t like or approve of. I’ll maybe write more on that in the next few days. Anyway, here are the two Pielke interviews:
Pajama’s Media interview.
New York Times interview.
Well, the last P-car just rolled off the assembly line. I never quite understood the logic of killing off that particular division. Though Buick sells a little better right now, it’s an old peoples demographic. With Pontiac, there is a definite performance car tradition. You could have retooled the Grand Am to be a sports hybrid, or electric sports car a-la the Tesla, or something. What are they going to do with Buick once the customer base dies off? Then what? Re-introduce the… em…. can anyone even name a Buick off the top of their head?????
Taking the train home from Washington to Fresno. I’ll be off the grid for a day or so.
Happy Hunting… or some such non-sense.
