Morale of the story: Don't practice black magic in Saudi Arabia... The General Court in Madinah upheld its verdict against 46-year-old accused Arab sorcerer Ali Hussein Subat (aka Shahrzad), saying he deserved death for publicly practicing black magic, thus spreading corruption on the earth.The judges said they called for the execution of the man for his continuous practice of black magic and th

... they'd be cheering madly with each puff of your SUV's exhaust:Plant growth shuts down at 150 ppm, so the Earth was within 30 ppm of disaster. Terrestrial life came close to being wiped out by a lack of CO2 in the atmosphere. If plants were doing climate science instead of us humans, they would have a different opinion about what is a dangerous carbon dioxide level.Celestial Junk Blog

H/T to Bruce for reminding us that Earth Hour will be rearing its ugly little head once again on March 27, in spite of the Climategate revelations and all the other scandals that followed it.
I see the WWF is still demanding action on climate change.
How about if we push back and demand some honesty?

John Robson of the Ottawa Citizen wants some accountability from all the journalists but specifically the likes of the Globe and Mail’s Jeffrey Simpson, who wrote on February 3, 2007:
“There will remain denials about the IPCC report from the fringe … just as there are those who believe the Earth is flat.”
He also calls out [...]

At work yesterday, I was looking through a Teaching Resources catalog from a well-known Canadian company that we use a lot, when I noticed a new addition - the Global Warming poster pack. It's for decorating your classroom walls, or bulletin board. This was in the Pre-K and up section and I was a bit dismayed at some of the titles. Indoctrination time again? Here are the titles from the package,

Why on earth is TD bank CEO Ed Clark interfering in Canadian politics? Especially when Western Canadians have not forgotten that he was the public service employee in the Trudeau Liberal government who implemented the dreaded National Energy Program (NEP).
For example, scroll down this Wikipedia site to “Reaction in Western Canada” and you will find Ed Clark’s name –

The TTC doesn't help alleviate the stereotype of Torontonian arrogance. Following public outcry at their inefficiency, TTC employees are rambling against the public and apparently want to add insult to injury through some work-to-rule action. Where on earth does the TTC find them?

It was just over 10 years ago at a university Christmas party when it struck me as odd when a friend of mine wished me happy holidays. I questioned, "Don't you mean Merry Christmas?""No, I mean Happy Holidays" she replied. I left the conversation perplexed and ever since I've been intensely aware of the 'war on Christmas.' Some years I've let myself get quite worked up about it. This year
