Global Warming Gets a Rigorous Analysis
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012
Global warming skeptics have brought up concerns about the rigor of studies showing a significant increase in global temperatures. Some critics have even accused researchers of purposely skewing the results. To set the record straight, Berkeley Earth set out to redo the various studies, this time with full scientific rigor and verifiability. Their conclusion is that the previous studies are accurate. I’m assuming this means that the “hockey stick” graph of global temperatures is correct.

Here at the Chad’s News network command center, we think the penny and dollar bill should be abolished, and we do our part by making an effort to use two-dollar bills and dollar coins. What a simple way for the government to save money—according to the first linked article, it costs 2.3¢ to mint a penny. The Canadians, and even the US military, are ahead of us in this respect

From the linked article: “[Researchers] noted that social disturbance, societal collapse and population collapse often coincided with significant climate change in America, the Middle East, China, and many other countries in preindustrial times, suggesting that climate change was the ultimate cause of human crisis in many preindustrial societies.” The article goes on to link climate change with famine, war, economic chaos, and mass emigration. It then suggests that climate change, not sociopolitical factors, was the real motivating force behind these events.
