Lots of news as of late concerning ocean health and looming threats. The first bit, and the one that has received the most attention, is a study which appears in Science, led by Ben Halpern from the NOAA titled "A Global Map of Human Impact on Marine Ecosystems." (sub. req'd) The findings are...

Gotta love those bloggers and their strawmen. In the first sentence no less! A moving target like reality is so much harder to hit than their dummy decoys :D

Some of the science forum regulars may remember I posted some info on the Triana-DSCOVR-GORESAT satellite that to this day remains packed in a box. I stumbled across an article from ScienceDaily that seems very ironic given the weird circumstances surrounding DSCOVR. NASA will launch the...

Wasn't it the Republicans who hired a PR firm who suggested that the Administration call it climate change? Now they're upset because a text book will have a section on climate change? I didn't read that it would have a section on global warming. Whiny little pissheads. At least they aren't...

Weird. Very weird.

Hmm, seems you missed my point altogether. I know very well that Mann's reconstruction had problems. However, there have been no problems with subsequent reconstructions by different research teams that produced similar results. To continue to use Mann's reconstruction would be folly, and that's...

Well, Kerry was actually wrong when he said it came from the weather service. The same month that Edwards wrote there were no scientific studies, NASA actually submitted a paper. It was published in Geophysical Research Letters in August of 2007. It will take some time before model results can...

THE COMPANY that wanted to develop a quarry on Digby Neck will seek damages of at least US$188 million for the way Canada handled its environmental review of the project. In a notice of intent to be filed today in Ottawa, Bilcon of Delaware is seeking a massive compensation package under the...

I had noticed. I also noticed there was some flooding in your area I think it was. I was wondering if you and yours were keeping dry. I manage to spend time at many places as well as here. I finish my work well before the evening sets in. Sometimes I stop by during the day when I have free time...

Yes, Cockburn, the one who spurns the peer review process. There is an inconvenient truth to the claims he posits. First, there are only two carbon sources in the carbon cycle that could have produced the atmospheric changes we can see in the past 100 years. The oceans and the land biosphere...

I noticed starting yesterday, that I was having problems accessing a number of websites that I view regularly. Anyone else having problems? Examples of sites I can't visit, YouTube, Gristmill.org, in fact almost all .org's from Environmental organizations and news websites. Is there a problem...

Cosmic rays? Funny how something like the Mann hockey stick can be so ill-regarded,yet it has been repeated many times, by many different investigations, and with different proxy records and assumptions no less. That is the repeatable element of science. But cosmic rays has been thoroughly ruled...

Then try an academic search. The articles you've read must have picked the information up from somewhere, unless it's swift boating crap. Is that what I said? No. What I said is that the current sulfate emissions are not explosive enough to reach the the upper atmosphere. When was the last...

It would be nice if Spencer brought up the recent research that makes him think otherwise. But then he criticizes scientists for not being able to show that Mother Nature isn't to blame. Guess he hasn't looked, because it certainly isn't the sun driving the warmth. That has been addressed, many...

The Real Climate Censorship Posted April 10, 2007 It’s happening, it’s systematic, and it is precisely the opposite story to the one the papers are telling. By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian, 10th April 2007. The drafting of reports by...

Straw Man. I don't consider the opinion of Suzuki to be any more informed than that of Fred Singer when it comes to climate science. Do you actually trust the media to get informed answers? That might explain alot... The letters that appear after someone's name does not make them an authority...

First off, the article starts with a red herring. The science is not settled, the political debate is not settled, therefore how can the notion of man-made global warming be settled. Maybe talking media heads say that, sensationalize things. Editorializing takes place in the mainstream media...

That article, wherever it came from, is unmitigated crap. If a journalist is going to write about science, they should at least have some idea of how it works...

Well, sorry I don't meet your standards for levity. I may have laughed the first couple times I heard somebody say that, because it can be accurate. Instead he just flippantly makes an off-cuff comment, yet again. Surprised he didn't cut and paste that from Twain. Weather is variable, ask him...
