  • George Rebane I recently looked at the most revealing graphic on global warming that I have seen.  The link to it was sent to me by a regular RR reader who was equally amazed by what he saw.  It was assembled by Nir Shaviv of sciencebits.com and is reproduced below.

  • George Rebane RIP Lavabit.  Lavabit has demonstrably been one of the most secure email services on the internet.  It is now closing its doors much to the consternation of the feds who have not been able to hack into Lavabit’s emails and servers.  And this story is worth a consideration to all Americans who pay…
