Lowering the bar again — always in hopes that students will then excel. When will the statists not learn that lowering the standards means that you have lower outcomes? There is a much easier solution: have the students turn the assignment in for credit. And that credit is the maximum failing grade (typically a 60%

Here’s an Inconvenient Truth.™ A steady drumbeat of new natural-gas plants have replaced coal as the dominant source of electricity generation in the U.S. At the beginning of 2016, America’s coal production fell to its lowest level in 30 years. The march away from coal is cheered by those who would like to see the U.S., and the

This goes back to the argument from the solar physicists that the sun is cooling off. FWIW, I came really close to shifting my major in college from general physics to astrophysics. Probably wouldn’t have done my career much good as a nuclear engineer, but it might have been useful in the global warming wars.

The correlation looks “good” from 1979-1999, but there are contradictions in every other time period. Everything about this graph tells us that CO2 is not a major controller. Other forces are more important and the mainstream climate modelers don’t know what those drivers are — they are not even looking for them. (On the other

Phil Jones told us that global temperatures kept heating at the same rate in the 1880s as they did in the 1920s as they did in the 1980s. (See that graph below). The warming isn’t any different when human CO2 emissions are small or massive. The rate of warming was the same in the 1920s

Facts are stubborn things. For years, skeptical scientists have been pointing at data that showed the the world started warming somewhere from 1700 – 1820. This has been known from glaciers, sea level studies, ice cores, boreholes, ocean heat content estimates, and more proxies than any climate-nerd cares to name. Finally, expert climate modelers are “surprised” to discover this: “…their study

The only third party candidate who is within shouting distance of being able to make it on the debate stage with Hillary and Trump is Gary Johnson. Maybe he will make it, and maybe he will not, but whether he succeeds there or not, a lot of Christians are looking around for some decent place

From Walter E. Williams. It’s worth reading the entire article! As the fall semester begins, parents, students, taxpayers, and donors should be made aware of official college practices that should disgust us all. Hampshire College will offer some of its students what the school euphemistically calls “identity-based housing.” That’s segregated housing for students who—because of
The Clinton campaign is rushing to defend the Clinton Foundation after an Associate Press report found half of the people who met with Hillary Clinton while Secretary of State also donated to the Foundation.
