Dec. 20, 2007, quote from then-Sen. Barack Obama arguing, “the president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

By comparison, the George W. Bush administration, which Mr. Obama was criticizing in 2007, had an even stronger Security Council resolution authorizing action against Iraq, and the Bushies took the time to get congressional buy-in as well.

Didn’t Earth already get destroyed by a nuclear meltdown last week?

Sea level has never been recorded by humans as rising in California, but why would actual facts enter the discussion?

This is the view near Richard Somerville’s office, showing how The Cove at La Jolla has not changed for as long as cameras have existed. The recent photo was taken close to high tide. At low tide the beach is larger, as seen below in this photo sent over by reader slp.

[Correction : slp says the picture below was taken at high tide]

Scientists have no metrics (or even definitions) for measuring climate change, yet they still seem to be able to determine that unmeasured climate change is happening faster now than unmeasured climate change used to happen.

For example, Joe Romm found one hot day during LA’s coldest summer on record last year, and was able to determine that that was a symptom of the fast “pace” of climate change.

History shows that the climate changes constantly.

Now that the term “climate change” has been hijacked by people who are superstitious about CO2, I have to wonder if historical climate change was the result of climate change, or if is the other way round – that climate change is due to climate change?

Does the climate always change when the climate changes, or do external climate change forcings cause climate change? Are there ever times when the climate changes without the climate changing?

These important philosophical questions need to be answered.
