Black Friday Weather Forecast - You Don't Have to Wake Up Early or Wait in Line for This
November 18th, 2011 | Bill KirkThe season for travel headaches, gorged stomachs, and shopping hysteria is upon us. In a little under a week we’ll be working off our Thanksgiving Day meal in the great Black Friday rush to snag the best deal in town. While foot traffic is mainly driven by who has the most enticing sales, the weather will also play an important role in driving traffic.

2011 Global Temperatures are in...WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!
November 8th, 2011 | Bill KirkThought we'd use a little media hysteria with the headline to get your attention, but sleep easy as the 2011 year-to-date global temperature is a not so whopping +0.15°C above average and cooling quickly (October came in at +0.11°C). One day scientists will look back on the bad science, bad data collection, data manipulation to prove a point (aka fraud) and outright corruption around Global Warming research. Rather than try and prove all that right now, I thought we'd just show you how bad our own government is at collecting weather data that we all use for research. The scary thing? The U.S. has the best weather reporting network in the world but as we'll show - we can't accurately measure yesterday's temperature let alone the pulse of the planet.

Cooking the Books - A New FICTIONAL World Atlas?
September 17th, 2011 | Bill KirkA new World Atlas released in the U.K. this week is yet another example of "cooking the books" by so called climate scientists and editors like John Vidal with a clear global warming agenda. In this case, real climate and satellite data was brushed aside for a PhotoShop airbrush to make Greenland (actually snow covered year round) appear a little greener thanks to runaway Climate Change. You would think the Publishers would do a bit more fact checking after the UK Climategate scandal but why let the facts get in the way of selling books. Then again maybe it's a FICTIONAL ATLAS?
