the earth will look after itself

Perhaps the question is what if the earth doesn't like us doing what we're doing to it ... and it decides to kick us out!!!
- Chip Duford
philip: sure, but who's looking out for us/me?
- Chris Heath
i like how he said that the question of expense, and should we pay for it is a political/policy one and not one for him to answer
- Chris Heath
People are not generally motivated by compassion for non-human objects. They are motivated by money and cost-savings.

Has anyone mentioned Dr. Kiki's earrings? Looking good

There is a new conspiracy theory that it is a plot cooked up by Europe to weaken the U.S. economy. Their countries are more suited to mass transit than pretty much the entire deep South, Midwest, and Big Sky parts of the country that are too spread out for light rail to make a big dent in gasoline usage. Crackpot, but not without consequences that merit discussion.
- Jomichael Porter
The U.S. has massive reserves of energy stored in domestic coal. Limiting carbon emission denies us access to that energy store.

When is this going to be available as a podcast on iTunes?
- Jomichael Porter
Sorry, "netcast."

probably tomorrow

Last week's isn't there yet. At least I couldn't find it.

Is there any significance to the data that says 95% of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is water vapor, only about 4% of the remainder is CO2, and only something like 3% of that is man made? Sorry, but there is so much data out there that I think it would take a team of researchers just to sift through it, find the sources, evaluate their methodology, and then interpret the results, so I'm just asking about the skeptical data that stuck in my head.
- Jomichael Porter
The climate has been changing for much longer than humans have been here. Greenhouse effect from CO2 is self limiting. The solar cycle has a vaslty greater effect on climate than all human activity. Climate change is a politically motivated scam.
- Robert Hafer
I do have a friend who believes GW is a hoax intended to extend governmental control over industry and spread Socialism further throughout the world. I think the founder of the Weather Channel is in this camp.
- Jomichael Porter
What I am interested in is, given that we accept the evidence says global warming is real, what is the science saying about the best way to stop it? What is the evidence that decreasing CO2 emissions will stop the process?

I find it interesting that we are obsessed over global warming, supposedly for the sake of our children, but at the same time, we don't give a darn about how much debt we are saddling our children with.
- Stephen M. Otto
Dr. John Christy gave an excellent talk on the subject at the recent SPE GPEC conference. http://tinyurl.com/o9embg to download the pdf of his presentation. Executive Summary: man's warmed up the earth a little but all the models are way off and we're not as warm as we have been in the past.
- Grendel Khan
I didn't hear the episode, but if you think climate change is a myth or not import enough to address then you are an idiot.
- Wo
Wo, if you think cap and trade policy is going to have any effect on our planetary climate, I'm afraid you are in the same category.
- Stephen M. Otto
Only heard part of the show. Science has always had the burden of the State due to funding. Call carbon credits a new business model by political means not by science. I like the show.

Microsoft's 'I'm a PC' campaign created with Macs - http://digg.com/apple...
"In the mac ads, John Hodgman is a human representation of a PC and Justin Long is a human representation of a Mac. So their welcoming comment of "Hello, I'm a Mac" and "and I'm a PC" is correct. Why would "real" people say "I'm a PC"? Shouldn't it be "I use a PC"? Thank goodness they don't use marital aids....."Hello, I'm a di!do" Perhaps that would too honest."

Easier to install Vista on a Mac than on a PC - http://digg.com/apple...
"If you reread the story, its about a couple who both try to upgrade from XP to Vista. Their computers are already setup for Windows so most of your points are moot. The main difference, which your response glosses over, is that the drivers for the windows only based computer may or may not be easy to get (the story is of someone who had a very hard time finding drivers). Few with much newer computer AND peripherals might have an easier time (probably not from what I'm reading around the net - try lockergnome.com for instance) The mac - ALL of the drivers are there with Boot Camp - it's all you need in addition to Vista."
