Follow up, IPCC Points a Finger at You

Spencer Talks Temps

Roy the great joins the discussion started by Goddard’s post recently on the temp record.
Most important is he discusses his new adjustment for heat island effect, which I consider essential for sanity.

Another Sex Change, "Andy" had a baby.

Mona Charen on Andy Inkster, who recently gave birth to a daughter.
http://townhall.com/columnists/monacharen/2014/01/14/our-crazed-sexuality-standards-n1778398
And I think Charen makes a pretty good point about the sexual revolution and how it jeopardizes the family and domestic order.
I am reading CS Lewis on Morality and he emphasizes that the study of the implications of Natural Law does help us to find good and bad, vice and virtue.
Here below Charen tallies up the damage from the sexual revolution. Not a pretty thing. Children don’t do well when families lose importance and status. But note the comment that married men tend to do better and live longer–something about the influence of a good woman, even for us wannabe outlaws.

As in the case of 4 methyl-cyclohexane methanol, organic chemistry sounds really really scary.
Here’s a fine exercise for your favorite Chemophobe, similar to the annual Thangsgiving Dinner list that is put out by the American Council on science and Health.
This time just a great discussion by an Australian chem teacher.

Caramel Cancer Scare

Here we go again. Colas have color, makes them more attractive for the consumer.
As we all know toxicity and carcinogenicity studies in rodents–not a reliable measure.
But they can still make crazy claims.
