Climate gate a washout
Posted: Dec 13, 2009
My Sunday paper had a piece from the AP on the stolen emails that brought about Climategate. It seems there is nothing in them to refute the scientific evidence that climate change is real. The brouhaha was caused by lifting bits and pieces out of context. Quelle surprise, non?
The stereotypical scientist is a nerd without great social skills. The emails do support that, to a degree. But they do not support fraud.
My feeling is that the scientists are aware of and afraid of the lack of critical thinking skills by the public in large. So, while debating climate change and all the possible explanations and theories, they did not wish their debate to be public since that same public might seize on the side presented by any devil's advocates. It's not the right thing to do, but in this age of dumbed-down media and Big Business Brainwashing, it's an understandable mistake.

Need Advice On Safety GateNov 25, 2009
I have a friend who has had to move into a HUD apartment with her infant and toddler (husaband's whereabouts unknown, she's been unemployed for 2 years, is going to school full time now). All of the walls are stuccoed-over concrete and there are steep concrete stairs. There are no newel posts, just the walls (one shorter than the other) and an iron handrail...it reminds me of a fire escape stairwell in a large building or hospital. Anyway, I want to get her a s ...

Trump's Ice Cream Gate Scoop By CNNMay 13, 2017
CNN finally got the scoop it was looking for: President Trump is unfair to dinner guests. Trump sat down recently for an interview -- and a four-course dinner -- with three reporters from Time magazine. They dined in the White House Blue Room, and the reporters took note of everything they were served -- and everything they were not. "With the salad course, Trump is served what appeared to be Thousand Island dressing instead of the creamy vinaigrette for his guests," the reporters wr ...
Glenn Beck's Gold-gate ProblemDec 11, 2009
Yet another controversy appears to be brewing around Fox News host Glenn Beck. Some are accusing him of a blatant conflict of interest concerning his frequent on-air promotion of an investment sold by one of his main advertisers: Gold. For some time Beck critics have cried foul over his relationship with Goldline International, a precious metals vendor that features the TV and radio host's endorsement prominently on their website. Critics charge that Beck is guilty of mis ...
Climate ChangeOct 15, 2016
I suppose some will think this belongs on the Faith Board, but it is also a political issue. I am so sick of hearing about climate change and all that we can do as human beings about it. These politicians should read their Bible; that is if they even own one, and they would soon discover that man did not create this world and man is not going to change what God made. There has been climate change since the beginning of time and just because we, who are now living in these times ...

I would think that with record tornados, hurricanes, snow falls, temperatures, polar ice cap melting, everyone would be willing to work toward a solution.

Romney Wants To WHAT In An Age Of Climate Change When We're SeeingOct 30, 2012
This is no time to decentralize and throw all the states on their own. Are these guys' brains engaged, or is states-right ideology being applied where the most basic common sense says it doesn't belong? This is just the beginning. Climate change means many more and worse natural disasters of the sort we are seeing right now and many others. FEMA's job is specifically to COORDINATE responses to diisasters too big for the resources of individual states. When 1000-mile-wid ...

Should Your Turkey Be Taxed For Climate Change? Nov 25, 2015
As Americans prepare for their Thanksgiving Day feasts, there's an issue on the horizon that could make that turkey more expensive: taxing meat to reduce climate change. Livestock is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, adding about the same amount of emissions as that of all the world's vehicles, according to a new report from the U.K. policy institute Chatham House. But many consumers aren't aware of the link between their dinner plates and climate change, the re ...

Can Climate Science Be Rendered Conservative-Friendly?Aug 23, 2013
Proponents say messages could be framed to better appeal to basic instincts. As in, "Climate denier, climate denier, fly away home. Your house is on fire and your children all alone." But pointing out the very serious national security dangers surprisingly just made them angry and dismissive.

We do have information about Antarctica from carefully recorded logs of explorers 100 years ago...and (I know this will surprise anyone who understands real science) the polar ice ...
