Krehbiel's Korner

I'm hesitant to write about Climate-gate, because I don't want anyone to think that my beliefs align in any way with the beliefs of the myopic conservative mob.  Still, there have been three recent incidents regarding climate change that further my own skepticism about what we were told was the "scientific consensus."

Here are some things I’ve learned recently from the No Agenda podcast, which I have not seen mentioned anywhere else in mainstream media.  (The podcast is a terrible production but at least they have interesting topics - usually.)  Investigations on any of these subjects would make it much more interesting to watch the news.

I’m no fan of Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) - in fact, I typically can’t stand the sound of his voice.  But I applaud him for taking an hour to try to call attention to the way Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) Climate Bill (H.R.2454) was recently ramrodded through the House without anyone reading it.

Embracing global warming because it's warm today is just as silly as refuting global warming because it's cold. Partisans, please stop. It's embarrassing.

A quick consumer report: Mrs. Krehbiel and I are so mad at a company called People Powered Machines right now that we can't even enjoy today's death of Jerry Falwell.*  We bought a reel mower from these people just to try one out, but it didn't work on our yard, so we sent it back, and they charged us some kind of restocking fee in addition to all the shipping costs.  So it cost us some $60+ to try to be more environmentally friendly.  What a total rip-off.  I would encourage anyone reading this to avoid People Powered Machines if you're considering a reel mower yourself. (Fyi we ended up with a regular old environmentally-hateful push mower from Sears.)

I'm concerned that some people still misunderstand my position on global warming. I think the misunderstanding is a result of black-and-white thinking on the subject -- that is, that one must either believe global warming is a myth or one must believe that humanity will be extinct in the next ten years. My position is somewhere in the middle of a continuum between those two extremes.

Naomi Oreskes recently wrote a piece in the LA Times telling us about the most recent scientific consensus on global warming: Global Warming -- Signed, Sealed and Delivered.

This is the first in a three-part ramble on global warming, which ironically begins on a day when it was close to 100 degrees here in Virginia.

Thanks to Dave T. for pointing this out: An embarrassment to Australian science. Apparently the guy that wrote that article bashing Gore's movie has a monetary interest in debunking global warming. Doh!

This is one area where Crowhill and I agree: Scientists respond to Gore. On An Inconvenient Truth, apparently some Canadian climate experts think... let me get this right... "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic." Ouch!
