Does the earth face a mini ice age beginning in 15 years?
Will the ‘Maunder Medium’ usher in another ice age beginning in fifteen years? Not even scientists are sure. Perhaps the human-driven effect to which Mr. Funk refers will help mitigate the effects of the next mini ice age.
Debate idea
Four Republicans are brilliant debaters: Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina.
The Christie and Fiorina campaigns are lagging far behind. According to the Real Clear Politics average, Fiorina stands at 3.8% and Christie at 2%.
By Contrast, Rubio is in 3rd place (behind Carson and Trump) at 11% and Cruz is at 8.8%.
Here is an idea that could boost the efforts of Fiorina or Christie: one of them should challenge Bernie Sanders to a good old-fashioned one-on-one debate.

( “Contraceptives, not extremists reduce abortion rates.)
Is the Register correct?
Not according to the people who work in the field of human abortion…
“I hate abortion”
The Des Moines Register supports all things liberal.
It is refreshing when they run a guest editorial from someone with a contrarian position to liberal orthodoxy.
The ran such a piece today. It was written by a guy named Steve Freking. Here’s an excerpt:
