Nobody jumped in to say "what about...Thenkyew. Nobody jumped in to say "what about the IPCC and those other scientists", which surprises me. I'll tell you anyway, because the kind of PITA I am.<br /><br />It's called jumping on the gravy train and riding that bugger as long as it lasts. It's called career relevance, publish or perish - principles which unfortunately rule the world of the working scientist. As for the IPCC, Dr. Pachauri is as well situated as Mr. Gore: he is heavily invested in both carbon cap-and-trade AND OIL RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY - a man with all bases wisely covered one might say.<br /><br />This is of course all a matter of public record; I don't believe in wasting people's time with rumors, hearsay, conspiracy theory, or my mere opinion. IMO opinion ought not to rule science; public policy, always for better or worse, but not the science behind it. There is no conspiracy: it's simple, timeless human greed. Now, you can go here and read as much as you like: http://joannenova.com.au/global-warming/climategate-30-year-timeline/<br /><br />...and maybe ponder the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' attention to Mr. Gore contrasted with their passing over DOCTOR (Harvard med school cum laude, post-grad at Salk Institute for Biological Sciences) Michael Crichton's blockbuster "State of Fear" - the first thing he wrote since 1969 that curiously didn't instantly become a hit movie or TV series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127565219340471704.post-29201783140833773522011-08-29T09:53:12.216-05:002011-08-29T09:53:12.216-05:00Now there....that's what I like to see!

Why do so few pe...Well then, with your blessing...<br /><br />Why do so few people still fail to find it suspicious that a man whose entire intellectual accomplishment consists of a BA in "Government" has been calling himself an expert on matters that speak directly to chaos theory and our very limited understanding of chaotic-dynamic systems? A man who had carefully positioned himself to reap cargo vessels stuffed with lucre if people believed in him and his hand-picked, highly funded (by fantastically wealthy ultra-elitists who make a point of funding anything that is anti-petroleum) "experts". A man who - and this is something he really SHOULD be respected for - learned how to make money from the weather. I mean, this is unprecedented, fantastic, jaw-dropping! You don't like the weather? It's because you aren't using the technology Al Gore is promoting!<br /><br />And the continuing disgraceful spectacle of governments rubbing their hands together in glee at the trillions of dollars they will collect in new taxes, and every man Jack from the grocer to the corner popcorn vendor jumping on the latest iteration of the "green" bandwagon, and the sickening hypocrisy of murderous dictators chiding the West in Copenhagen for not adopting Mr. Gore's tech en masse, and the TOTALLY COMPLICIT mass media selling ever more bottles of ketchup with stories about "anthropogenic weather", and their continued deliberate silence over Climategate...well! (pant pant)It's enough to make a grown man wonder whether to laugh or weep with shame at our collective gullibility.<br /><br />Nuff said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127565219340471704.post-86244827779381804952011-08-28T10:13:56.439-05:002011-08-28T10:13:56.439-05:00Revision: Not saying it's the perfect place by...Revision: Not saying it's the perfect place by ANY means...(the bit rates on some of the shit I find and post PROVES that), 'Tis the perfect place to RANT about ANYTHING.....there....that I'll claim! :)barberellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581199350151005454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127565219340471704.post-34478021647680275372011-08-27T14:14:36.703-05:002011-08-27T14:14:36.703-05:00Oh, DO go on...it's the PERFECT place!! :)Oh, DO go on...it's the PERFECT place!! :)barberellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581199350151005454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127565219340471704.post-88131969830341250672011-08-27T11:04:26.304-05:002011-08-27T11:04:26.304-05:001938?
