Climate Change As Viewed From a Pothole
by Nick Glossop on January 29, 2013
While spelunking the Intertubes the other day I stumbled across a particularly rich vein, the prodigious video offerings of one Potholer54. His clips debunking various crackpots and charlatans are thoroughly entertaining, and I intend to watch the Golden Crocoduck Awards closely in the future, but it is for his lengthy series on climate change that he deserves to be particularly commended. If you are interested in the subject and …

1000 Words, 1000 Days: Day 351 – Space-Boinking In The 21st Century!
by Marty Schwartz on December 16, 2012
Yesterday I wrote about religion. As such, it’s only fair that I devote today’s article to science.
