The temperature has been rising since the end of the Little Ice Age. Nobody disputes that.

Please show me what percentage (or any non-modeled number) of that rise is due to human activity. Now, we can talk about solutions.

Read Dan Brown's "Inferno" for one suggestion. Many in the eco-community think this is a viable "final solution."

Fear is the mind killer. — Frank Herbert, "Dune"

And that's exactly why our economy is doing so well these days...

If they replaced it with a standard lead acid it would have been flying already.

Few large airplanes use lead-acid batteries anymore. NiCad is pretty standard for anything larger than a Cessna 210.

Your force. My decision. I decide not to let misanthropes like yourself limit human potential by forcing population limits. You hate humans. I believe only humans can enjoy a pristine forest, save the whales, or bicycle through the countryside just for the fun of it.

We could get rid of daylight-wasting time if everyone used one of these. It then wouldn't matter where you are. We'd all be synched to the sun.

I have to write very small commentary in pilot's logbooks. The only pen that accomplishes this properly is the Pilot G-2 0.38. Available at Office Max but not Office Depot.

Anthony Watts just posted some new information regarding errors in the BEST data. Perhaps Richard Muller will need to re-evaluate his "skepticism." http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/29/press-release-2/

Nobody rational denies climate change. Many rational people deny human caused climate change. If there were empirical evidence for blaming humans, we'd have a debate. Lacking such evidence is the reason why there is merely a shouting match between irrationalists of all sorts.

An entire movie in one take. Loved it!

“I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy . . . censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, ‘This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,’ the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.” — John Lyle in "Revolt in 2100" by Robert Heinlein
