By John Mauer Global warming is in retreat at the moment, even as CO2 concentration increases. If one looks at the data, increased CO2 concentration does not cause, and has not caused, a large world-wide increase in temperature. The greenhouse effect, however real, is neither large enough nor independent of other effects to cause substantial warming. Continue Reading By John Mauer Today, every news show seems to talk about carbon dioxide (CO2), but usually with very little reference to actual data. Much of the news is dominated by political scare tactics or abject rejection of all science. So, here we describe, in a series of articles, the actual data as available on-line with references and some added science discussion.

By John Mauer On Monday, the appeal of the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation (STN) to the US Second Court of Appeals was rejected. Thus, the continuing saga, and multiple court actions, of this particular group takes another step. Their options are now limited to the US Supreme Court or the US Congress. By John Mauer Sometimes, the news can be confusing, which means that some part of it is exceptionally biased. Proponents of a new, government controlled, health care system point to Canada’s health care system as a model of universal coverage. Opponents also point to the Canadian system, but as flawed and ineffectual. As near as we can tell, both are correct, but the United States cannot emulate that system. We have already overloaded our system with overly expensive Medicare. |
