Disco. Inst. head Bruce Chapman takes a dip in denial. Global warming isn't an issue, he seems to believe, because:
We're having the coldest winter, er, spring in 100 years in the great Northwest. There's new snow in the mountain passes and even freak frosty flecks in Seattle's hilliy suburbs.
Meanwhile, the Arctic is melting at least as fast, if not faster than, last year:
As for Chapman's claim that "while mean world temperatures have fluctuated yearly, in the past ten years, overall, they've gone nowhere," I must insist: Sadly, No!
The red line is a 5 year moving average, which smoothes out anomalous years, and shows the stark rise in temperature over the last decade.
One of these days, I have to write up a paper on the convergence of creationism and global warming denialism.

Global warming charts are manufactured by obstructionists of the truth. There is no global warming on the planetary level.
MOREOVER, THE BIGGER PICTURE IN THE DEBATE ON DARWINISM IS NOT INTELLIGENT DESIGN.
The reason is elementary: the Discovery Institute and other ID proponents leave out the Triune God, Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Hence, Richard Dawkins can make the case for aliens seeding the earth.
The Quest for Right, a series of 7 textbooks created for the public schools, represents the ultimate marriage between an in-depth knowledge of biblical phenomena and natural and physical sciences. The several volumes have accomplished that which, heretofore, was deemed impossible: to level the playing field between those who desire a return to physical science in the classroom and those who embrace the theory of evolution. The Quest for Right turns the tide by providing an authoritative and enlightening scientific explanation of natural phenomena which will ultimately dethrone the unprofitable Darwinian view.
"I am amazed at the breadth of the investigation - scientific history, biblical studies, geology, biology, geography, astronomy, chemistry, paleontology, and so forth - and find the style of writing to be quite lucid and aimed clearly at a general, lay audience." ― Mark Roberts, former Editor of Biblical Reference Books, Thomas Nelson Publishers.
The Quest for Right series of books, based on physical science, the old science of cause and effect, has effectively dismantled the quantum additions to the true architecture of the atom. Gone are the nonexistent particles once thought to be complementary to the electron and proton (examples: neutrons, neutrinos, photons, mesons, quarks, Z's, bosons, etc.) and a host of other pseudo particles.
To the curious, scientists sought to explain Atomic theory by introducing fantastic particles that supposedly came tumbling out of the impact between two particles, when in fact, the supposed finds were simply particulate debris. There are only two elementary particles which make up the whole of the universe: the proton and electron. All other particles were added via quantum magic and mathematical elucidation in an attempt to explain earthly phenomena without God.
Introducing the scheme of coincidence, which by definition, "is the systematic ploy of obstructionists who, in lieu of any divine intervention, state that any coincidental grouping or chance union of electrons and protons (and neutrons), regardless of the configuration, always produces a chemical element. This is the mischievous tenet of electron interpretation which states that all physical, chemical, and biological processes result from a change in the electron structure of the atom which, in turn, may be deciphered through the orderly application of mathematics, as outlined in quantum mechanics. A few of the supporting theories are: degrading stars, neutron stars, black holes, extraterrestrial water, antimatter, the absolute dating systems, and the big bang, the explosion of a singularity infinitely smaller than the dot of an i from which space, time, and the massive stellar bodies supposedly sprang into being.
The Quest for Right is not only better at explaining natural phenomena, but also may be verified through testing. As a consequence, the material in the several volumes will not violate the so-called constitutional separation of church and state. Physical science, the old science of cause and effect, will have a long-term sustainability, replacing irresponsible doctrines based on whim. Teachers and students will rejoice in the simplicity of earthly phenomena when entertained by the new discipline.

Don't forget Phil Johnson and Jonnie Wells, both of whom signed an HIV->AIDS denial list that I've lost track of.
His foolishness can be partly explained by the fact that once you've lived in the Northwest long enough, you begin to operate under the illusion that this is the entire world.
Can people please stop using the phrase "not just a river" - it is based off of an old pun that was stupid the day it was born.
Mr. Parsons: Clearly, the data are simply biased against you. Whatever can you do, other than ignore them?
The author Profile
states in part:
Joshua Rosenau spends his days defending the teaching of evolution...The opinions expressed here are his own,... Indeed, older posts may no longer reflect his own official position."
This reminds me of the Bible verse:
"always learning
but never able to acknowledge the truth.
2 Timothy 3:7

I had to wear a jacket in June, therefore evolution is a lie.
