Washington Post Perpetuates Myth of Scientific Debate About Basic Facts of Global Warming
Washington Post Perpetuates Myth of Scientific Debate About Basic Facts of Global Warming
Today’s Washington Post has a story about Canada’s conservative government cutting funds for programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This passage stuck out:
Canada, which has long clung to its “green” image, hosted early work that led to the Kyoto Protocol, in which 163 countries and regional organizations pledged to meet quotas to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that many scientists believe are warming Earth, melting glaciers and brewing more-intense storms.
Many scientists believe carbon dioxide emissions are warming the earth?
Science Magazine analyzed 928 peer-reviewed scientific papers on global warming published between 1993 and 2003. Not a single one challenged the scientific consensus the earth’s temperature is rising due to human activity. This scientific debate only exists in newspaper articles.
Whether or not global warming is already causing “more-intense storms” is nominally more controversial. But a definitive study by M.I.T. scientist Kerry Emanuel found “major storms spinning in both the Atlantic and the Pacific since the 1970s have increased in duration and intensity by about 50 percent.” Emanuel concluded that trend of more intense storms was “linked to increases in the average temperatures of the ocean surface and also correspond to increases in global average atmospheric temperatures during the same period.”

When will the neo-con Jesus Freaks understand that you don’t “believe” in Science. You either accept or reject it based on evidence?
May 3rd, 2006 at 3:34 pmOh, and the evidence is pretty conclusive that Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere, as the result of human pollution, is warming up the planet.
The reporter should have stayed awake in fifth grade Science class to know that one…
May 3rd, 2006 at 3:37 pmGlobal Warming does not exist until either my bank vault is flooded or my income is interrupted.
May 3rd, 2006 at 3:39 pmYea, so what that every independent study about global warming agrees that it is happening? Given enough time and money, the GOP will buy a scientist to say global warming is a myth.
May 3rd, 2006 at 3:42 pmIndependent World Television. I’m a fan of Mike Farrell, not because of MASH or anything, but because of his character and citizenship. I mean, how much do each of us do each day for our country. How many people even know what they could do, and how. If we don’t get good people into politics at all levels, does anything matter. We are really ignorant about our government, and most politicians like it that way. (If the government were a corporation, the lack of citizen participation & knowledge is like no shareholders showing up at the stockholder meetings.) I found out about IWT because Mike Farrell is a founding member. I am really disillusioned by most jounalists and media conglomerates. The manipulation is getting really tiresome.
This administration has really attacked science. Good Christians are environmental stewards, caretakers of the planet. Bush uses religion to further his own agenda and his cronies.

the cons didn’t want fuel economy when gas was a dollar a gallon. They won’t want to cut carbon emissions until Florida is uninhabitable.

That would be for the portion of Florida that remains above the water:
Experts from Florida’s top universities today warned that the state’s economy could suffer as environmental changes caused by global warming begin to affect coastal properties and the tourism, agriculture and retirement industries. The threats are outlined in two reports released at a press conference held by the Florida Climate Alliance, NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) and the Union of Concerned Scientists. The reports are available on-line at http://www.floridaclimatealliance.net.
Florida Scientists Warn Global Warming Spells Trouble for State Economy
Global warming will have a direct impact on the economies of those communities along the coasts, not just in the US but across the globe.

Mars. Seriously. That’s why the billions to explore it and probe it for water.
May 3rd, 2006 at 4:22 pmMany scientists believe that the Earth revolves around the Sun. That doesn’t mean we should arrogently dismiss the equally valid belief that the Earth sits on the back of a giant turtle. It is the job of a newspaper to present all sides of scientific issues as if they were equal.

May 3rd, 2006 at 4:29 pmPerhaps they are trying to hoard all the cash to build big boats made of it so they float on them during all of the floods.
That may also explain where are the bricks of cash in Iraq went to.
Quick, Washington Post! Put your best investigative reporter on it! Oh, wait. Here lemme help you.
“Investigative” means that they will explore all angles, keep probing for the truth, and then print it. Got it?
What? Excuse me? Sigh…
“Reporter” is a person who reports on news. Similar to the people you employ that wordsmith the press releases you get. Except reporters have independent thoughts from what the press release says.
May 3rd, 2006 at 4:31 pmSome of the most disgusting remarks I have ever read on the liberal blogosphere came from John Aravosis’s Americablog. Anywhere from bestiality to violent murder of the president and other public and private individuals. And now Americablog is deleting reader comments and blocking posters who are critical of homosexuals.
Americablog is a typical “Lefty Commie” hypocritical site and does not deserve your comments or money!

May 3rd, 2006 at 4:36 pmWe have a common thread here, folks.
Exxon (et al) = Fossil Fuel
Fossil Fuel = CO2 emissions, along with a lot of other noxious gas
CO2 emissions = Global Warming
Global Warming = Increased atmospheric turbulence
Increased turbulence = Major weather disasters (Katrina)
Weather Disasters = Huge Federal cost(s)
United Corporations of America
May 3rd, 2006 at 4:38 pmUmmm… okay. Thanks, #22.
Is it random thought time already? Okay: “Monkeys are inherently funny. Especially when they’re dressed like people and do people things. Like ‘leading’ the free world.”

Your right, instead we should immediatly stop using fossil fuel, then when the gov’t along with society collapses, there will be no Federal gov’t so no Huge Federal costs.

9/11 plotter gets life
The jury in the sentencing phase of 9/11 plotter Zacarias Moussaoui recommended Wednesday he should serve life in prison without parole. He is the first person tried in the United States for the attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people when hijacked passenger jets crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.
http://www.cnn.com
May 3rd, 2006 at 4:43 pmyea, it seems I’ve seen the same comments cut & pasted into other threads too.
Makes me want to go over to Americablog & read & support them. Currently, I go there when linked over through a referance.
But seriously, compare wishing violent murder of individuals on blogs. Righty blogs wish that all the time to their opponents, Redstain, lGF, ect. I’ve seen it too much to count. Bestiality….Hmmmm. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone outside of Craigslist & alt sites advocating bestiality…..
I’d say LPOBGYN needs a different hobby than reading liberal blogs. That’s my prescrption.
May 3rd, 2006 at 4:44 pmLGF from what I’ve seen has never wished death on their opponents, I’m sure its happened in their comment section, but that happens on all blogs, even here. Redstain, I’ve never been to, but Right Wing News never wishes death on people either. Their comment section does however.
May 3rd, 2006 at 4:46 pmsqueeg - running out of fossil fuels is a prediction that will come true at some point. That’s a fact. Shouldn’t we make every effort to find & change over to something better BEFORE we’re forced to switch by the planets limited supply? I can’t see you disagreeing with that.

May 3rd, 2006 at 4:52 pmCons have a difficult time debating rationally on this issue. If you suggest we should try and make the oil last as long as possible, to give us time to develope an alternative, they immediately jump on the “you want to ban cars and collapse the economy” rant.
Believe it or not, squeeg, liberals don’t like economic downturns any more than conservatives do.
May 3rd, 2006 at 4:52 pmI happen to like my car, but I would like to see less oil use and more wind, water, ethanol, what have you power types. I know that there are drawbacks to each energy source, but some are worse then others.

Hilarious… You’ll have to bring that uparound IRI or MA. IRI works in the defense industry and once designed weapons or tanks or something that blows things up. MA claims to have served in the military, as God’s soldier - but mostly just has a very explosive personality.
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:03 pmI am afraid that the NYT did a similar thing on extreme weather two weeks back in the week in review section. On the other hand, at least we are getting to the point where such demonstrable hacks as Pat Michaels, Fred Singer, and Robert Balling are not quoted so heavily in the media (though Lindzen is still getting quotes…)
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:05 pm“Faith based weaponry” — that would be the missile defense system.

So the GOP DOES all the answers: let someone else deal with it.
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:18 pmDrive a Neo-Con Crazy!
In the last 12,000 years earth’s magnetic field has changed almost 5 times.
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:19 pmDuring the time of change, there must be a time “t” where earth would have no magnetic field whatsoever due to the change.
Now, if we assume that the intensity of the solar winds electromagnetic radiation is Bmax or Emax with the relationship:
E/B = c
and also if we know that the average power per unit area is Emax.Bmax/2mue
mue = 4pi * 10^(-7)
and that Earth is exposed to solar electromagnetic field with strength of Bmax and Emax. Usually every kind of electromagnetic radiation has an impact momentum and therefore can create an electromagnetic force. p=mdelta(v) so p/t = m delta(v)/t = m a = F(magnetic)
so we know that F(magnetic) = p/t and we know that impact momentum is U/c where U is the energy transfered to a surface and c is the speed of light. We also know that
average power per area or Power/ A = Emax.Bmax/2mue
and so Power = Emax.Bmax . A /2. mue
Power = U/t so
Power . t = U = Emax. Bmax . A. t / 2 . mue
so we konw that p = U/c and since we also know that U = Emax. Bmax . A. t /2. mue
F(magnetic field) = p/ t = U/c . t = Emax . Bmax . A . (t^2) / 2 . mue . c
Usually, half of earth’s surface area is exposed to sun and since earth is an sphere (almost) we can say that its surface area is 4.pi.r^2, and half of that is 2.pi.r^2, so A = 2.pi.r^2
that would mean that the force on earth is now expressed in the
F(magnetic field) = Emax . Bmax . pi . ([rt]^2) / mue . c
earth and sun are attracted by a force of F(gravitational) which is equal to
QUOTE
F(gravitational) =G M(sun) . M(earth) / d^2
since earth is rotating around the sun in a semicircular path, therefore the centripetal force is F = F(gravity) - F(magnetic) = mv^2/rsince we know the magnetic and gravitational force at the moment where earth’s magnetic field is momentarily gone we can substitute:QUOTE (->
QUOTE
F(gravitational) =G M(sun) . M(earth) / d^2
Umm that is going to drive me crazy and I am not a neo-con
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:21 pmI was VERY young, and didn’t know who I was yet. When I found out, he definitely was not impressed, so I said SEE YA!
Not impressed with you Pippi? So he must’ve been a little bit stupid then as well? You could definitely do better. Him? Not so much… He should get a dog. Men like that (I’ve dated a couple) are much better off with dogs than women.

And at the same time help educate others, that they may survive as well in a world where we may have to grow food in our own yards, work and create goods with our own hands, and do a lot more walking.
Uncle Yoot May 3rd, 2006….. from the shores of beautiful Lake Albuquerque.
At this point in our civilization, if we have to grow our own food to survive, billions will die. I’d rather try and prevent that.

May 3rd, 2006 at 5:31 pm46 - you’re off by a decimal point or two/three. I’ve read that the pole flips about every 100,000-130,000 years, not every 12,000 years. But I’m only a reader, not a PhD.

sounds like the plot from escape from LA to me
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:36 pm#53 You realize that Ken was on acid when he wrote that, right? Your compass might not work, but your credit card will be fine. The “flip” takes a long time, during which there will be no magnetic north. But we really don’t rely on that for anything these days.
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:37 pm#54 - I was going to rent the truck and siphon the gas out of all the cars in my parking lot….but never mind, the plan is definitely off. ;)
Note to self: Make sure you call and cancel the truck rental. Do it! Put down that siphon!
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:41 pmOh my God, I remember Ken doing his spoken word/rant at intermission during a New Years Eve show in Oakland several (many) moons back. Sometimes he is so out there, yet sometimes he strikes so close to the bone. Curious dichotomy.
Good energy though.
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:43 pmWhen I was in school scientist said “that by 2001 there will be Palm trees on Park ave in NYC if we dont do something about Global warming.”And we didnt. Well here we are almost halfway thru 06 and I’m still waiting. My house is 8 blocks from the ocean and I was promised that global warming was gonna make it waterfront property. These scientist are no help. Now I stuck with a apartment on Park ave with maple trees in front and a house thats STILL 8 blocks from the ocean. I hope this new batch of scientist can do better.

I was raised to not want to get married. My father watched his mother get slapped around by some portion of her three husbands, and his biggest fear was that I would become dependent upon someone like that. I couldn’t count the number of times he would randomly say “If any man ever lays his hands on you, I’d kill him.” Needless to say, he only ever met one or two of my boyfriends and hated them immediately.
I’m beginning to think it’s better to get married later in life anyway, when the testosterone has begun to fade off so that they are more interested in what you have to say than how much sex they can have. But, I’m still not sold. Will take a unique man to get me to commit. Or a lobotomy :)
May 3rd, 2006 at 5:50 pmunbelievable
my wife and I did not get married until we were in our 30’s. we both had a string of bad relationships, but wehn we found each other it was almost magic. We knew what we didn’t want, and we found what we wanted. We are both extremly happy and satisfied as well.

From what my guy friend s and relatives have told me, you’re a few years past due - usually early thirties. Not that it stops - just changes the thinking about sex intervals from every 5 seconds to maybe every 30. Allows you to have a conversation in between. And consider the consequences of your urge to fight or f everything… :)
Bit, you should congratulate yourself. More males are conceived than females, but by 18 years old, there are more women than men. Testosterone makes you all do risky things that sometimes don’t go very well… (ever see that show Jackass ?)

Me too, then ignorant people would be less inclined to call a majority of us ’spinster’ or ask if we’re gay. Amazing how our culture is still puritanican when it comes to women and marriage.
But I find more people are understanding once they’ve been married for a while with kids or divorced. They understand that it’s not a choice to be made just to have the Mrs. title. That it’s hard. That a 64% divorce rate for those married since 1990 is that way for a reason.
But the testoterone fading thing, I’m not so sure about that. ;)

May 3rd, 2006 at 9:01 pmscalar, the earth has three different rotation cycles, you only accounted for two. that gives you at best a D+_ In addition our solar systems rotates about the galaxtic center every 220.000,000 years. therefore F(Gravitional)=G M(Sun). M (Earth)/d Sqd is bogus. As Spock would say “That does not compute”. Try again.
