I believe that a tremendous amount of human intelligence is being directed on the problem every day, which in turn will lead to enormous efficiencies for lower energy consumption and cleaner energy consumption.
And I believe that the only thing that can slow or prevent this work from happening is a ham-handed approach to the problem. |
I think that guy at the Discovery Channel building yesterday was trying to work on the problem.
Look where it got him. |
Worked for him, he won't be bothered by it any more.

Thank God, that will leave more Oxygen for those who really need it.

I didn't follow his manifesto very closely at all, because frankly, I don't care. But I saw that one of his gripes was that John and Kate Plus 8 was being aired, and I can't argue with him there. I've never seen the show, but it offends me that those two are in the news.

I agree. "Famous" for being willing to prostitute your entire family.
Of course, my solution, as I'm sure is yours, is I don't watch it or read about it. One time I tried to read an article about them and was so disgusted I just don't do it anymore. :headshake Why didn't the dude just take hostages at the set of Dancing With the Has-beens and Never-weres? No hostages were taken in the making of this post. |
and no sooner does it seem like ... oh nevermind. . . probably just another "denier" pissing in the wind.

Couple the above with the scientists who were involved in the study, and disagreed with the conclusions and methods, but whose names were kept on the final version to make it appear as "consensus."

That was a bullshit article Classic. (Biting my tongue, biting my tongue).The InterAcademy Council reports intent was not necessarily to find fault with IPCC conclusions. What they did do was examine the procedures and processes used to carry out their assessments in order to help the organization produce better reports in the future, considering the few errors discovered in the last report. Ultimately, they did in fact commend the IPCC for the valuable service they provide.
From the report itself: Quote:

The Center got its 15 minutes of infamy in the 1990s for publishing studies highly critical of charities which engaged in anti-tobacco lobbying efforts. These charities include the American Heart Association, the American Lung Association and the American Cancer Society. It was later revealed that tobacco giant Philip Morris provided $50,000 in funding to the Capital Research Center. Nuff said. :eyebrow: |

Actually his name is Matt Patterson not Peterson. However I would gladly venture a guess that the 50k donated by Philip Morris was a mere drop in the bucket... lets take a quick look. Hey lookie here - Googling your paragraph links directly to the Wiki page and right above the part you quoted is this.... Quote:
so the 50k your are discussing is not really all that significant relative to the 7.7+ million they've gotten over the years. Heck, PM was probably forced to donate to something and they chose this. If you really want to complain about Philip Morris- look here. Heck there are a lot worse that they've done and are at fault for plenty, just not so much in this instance. Well not that I could find real quickly. |
