Your insistence of requiring conclusive proof is a clear indicator that you have no clue how science actually works. You should work on that.

I laughed out loud. Thanks.

I am to please

These are some things that Finn should really read and the latter contains some pics that Finn should really look at.

At any rate, my workload just skyrocketed again. So, I'm forced to contribute when/what I can, when I can *sigh*

What’s even funnier is that that was posted on the internet.

Well, if you can't take it easy, I hope things go swimmingly at least.

I too am busy. For me, I'm working on a few things and so making only incremental progress on anything. I would really like to get just one thing done. On the plus side, in my experience, it's far far better than working on an assembly line, my all time selection for jobs that will drive you mad.

I saw this guy on TV, talking about the effects of global warming. Its as if this is some huge breakthrough. I mean just look at any factory with its smoke and you know that ain't good. Wonder if this "discovery" will make any difference...

Tell that to the unemployed steelworkers in CLeveland and Youngstown, or unemployed textile workers in Pennsylvania, or unemployed autoworkers in Michigan.

The only thing worse then a factory with its smoke is one without its smoke.

And as for global warming, let these so-called experts come to Cleveland in December or January to have the global get togethers. They can debate global warming in 3ft. snow drifts with their hands wrapped around a cup of coffee for warmth rather then sipping bottled water around the pool in Rio during the "summer" months.

The science is questionable. The solution (Kyoto) punishes developed nations while giving a pass to low tech developers such as Mexico and China. Given a choice I think most Americans would rather have a paycheck then a another clean air tax that keeps the local factories closed while moving the jobs to nations with no wage, health, safety, or enviromental standards.

So to recap. Smoking factories

, good. Unemployment, bad.

And relating to Finn's comment above, the latest Analog has a blurb from Jeff Kooistra about a book titled "Kicking the Sacred Cow: Questioning the Unquestionable and Thinking the Impermissible", by James P Hogan. It goes after many of the "Everybody Knows" subjects from Darwinism to global warming. Should be an interesting read as well.

I finally came across this book a few weeks ago. I finished reading it last week. It is interesting. It does a good job of presenting some of the cracks in the theories we have come to think of as indisputable, and some of the less then scientific practices that are sometimes employed to maintain that illusion. A little technical in areas, but not too bad. I’d write a synopsis if anyone is interested.

Speaking of interesting reading, Crichton's State of Fear is featured by John Stossel. I despise Stossel's crudely unintelligent reporting in general, so don't take this as an endorsement of Stossel's views.

I was considering getting Crichton’s new book. I’ve heard from several sources that it has some good information in it. I hope it does the trick of shifting popular opinion away from this superstitious speculation about global warming, or at least helps to balance it out a little bit. I’ve also heard that it’s not a very enjoyable read, but then I didn’t check the source either, and it’s quite possible that some people will want to dissuade people from reading the book. I don’t do a lot of light reading anymore, but I’m interested enough that I might just purchase this book. Though probably not in hardcover so it will be a couple of months.

Its April and 15 inches of snow fell in Cleveland last weekend. In other words a normal healthy spring in NE Ohio.
