The "two MMs" have incredibly bad science, up to and including **not knowing to convert radians to degrees for use with the analytical software they employed**. (cite: http://crookedtimber.org/2004... ) IMO they're way too stupid and/or dishonest to do anything useful with any data they have, so... BFD.
- Andrew C
Looks like Phil Jones has those same attributes "stupid and/or dishonest". He would have been much better off if he stuck to his argument in the e-mail exchanges and released for peer review any available data. Thanks, for the link lots to digest in the climate change morass.

Jones' use of the word "trick" is taken out of context by the AGW deniers, IMO.

Is there a manual somewhere to help to me distinguish between the current and former IPCC scientist "loons" ? There are quite a few of them on the UN complaint list.

- Eric Logan
I find his discussion of mid-century cooling rather flippant; for example http://www.grist.org/article... does in fact have records of sulfates (aerosol pollution) back to 1940... More generally, the FCPP offers the hilariously insincere assertion that because its funding comes from private foundations and corporations (as if the former never had ties to the latter) that it is insulated from politics when it comes to its analysis.
- Andrew C
FCPP is only publishing an Interview as part of their conversations program it is not independent research. I do not see how their funding is relevant these are the words of Dr. Khandekar. We have already established based on the CRU emails that his viewpoints would certainly not be welcomed on the real climate blog. I never realized until today to be quite honest how many actual...

- Eric Logan
Their funding is only relevant in that /they are transparently dishonest to claim that only government money induces undue bias in forming a viewpoint/. As such, I find FCPP to start from an untrustworthy position.
- Andrew C
And then, of course, there was Khandekar's relatively flippant dismissal of _existing aerosol pollution data_. As for your second IPCC reviewer, Gray, his objections are also pretty bad. See http://www.grist.org/article... to address point 1 and http://www.grist.org/article... for point 2.

Indeed, this is a circular argument, esp since _the "scientist" arguments you are forwarding in this thread are all uniformly awful_.

I find it quite funny that you pass them along with no skepticism whatsoever, yet are eager to question the sincerity of Grist, IPCC, etc.
- Andrew C
Dr. Gray has been an integral part of the IPCC. The CRU emails refer specifically to some of the most damning Phil Jones emails which implicate Real Climate as a captured entity and by extension the skeptics guide that you keep referring to. I wasn't really a skeptic until today though I reserve the right to reconsider based on what I have found. I don't personally adhere to anyones play book.

The hypothesis that climate change may not occur doesn't abrogate the responsibility for preventive action, especially with the factual evidence that it may very well & is occuring. Consensus in this regard is impossible when there are directly opposing motives, money vs. well-being.

New Edition
- Bren, Photophobe
from iPhone
My point I guess is the only music on this list that I ever listened to is Jaco Pastorius and Wynton Marsalis - popular music that I know, recognize and like all comes from the '60s and early '70s. Guess when I was a teenager and young adult?
- Brian Sullivan
Who the heck put those on this list! *BLOCKED*
- Alex Scoble
Brian, the majority of my music collection spans the 60-70s. But it includes 80s-present. I think Bren was inspired by the responses in Alex's thread. I think the 80s get typecasted a bit for being nothing but hair metal, but there was so much music happening.
- Mary Carmen
The thing is, Brian, I could make a similar list for the 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00s. I was a teenager in the late 80s and early 90s, but good music is good music, I don't care what decade you came of age.

I have long held that 1984 was the best year for rock/pop albums ever: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Especially in the USA: Let It Be, Reckoning, Zen Arcade, Double Nickels on the Dime, This Is Spinal Tap, Mr. T's Commandments, etc. etc. etc. (ETA: I was 13 for most of 1984, so that has to be a factor.)

Sonic Youth? That said, I'm not a huge '80s fan (either music or movies), but maybe I should listen to some more of these people. I've heard some of them, but most of them I only like with reservations (like, I'd like it more if they used less echo effects, or something). Also, aren't a lot of these '70s bands? Like Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Clash...
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy: my original contention was that there was a lot of good music in the 80s. Many of these bands made music in the 70s, the 90s, and other decades. The thing they all have in common is that they made what I would consider great music in the 80s. Siouxsie, for example, started in the late 70s but made most of the music for which she is best known in the 80s, ditto the Cure.
- Bren, Photophobe
The Cowboy Junkies... and they're still goin' strong! Oh... and The Cars.
- Mark Jepsen
the 80's rocked. and they be-bopped. i loved the 80's. for the music. i was a basketcase teen though
- Morgan Haley
I guess when I say "80's music" I mean something different than if I say "music made in the '80s" - which sounds counterintuitive. It's like when I say I'm not a fan of '80s movies, I don't mean I dislike all movies made in the '80s, but just that the average movie of the '80s and the styles that were common are not as appealing to me as the average movie of most every other decade. I...
more...
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I think I know what you mean, Jandy. "stereotypical" music of the '80s (schlock hair metal, vapid pop, etc) might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as this thread shows many bands made music in the 80s that touched people.
- Bren, Photophobe
Slacker Radio Station made from the artists mentioned in this thread: http://slacker.com/r/Kjyp. I haven't gotten them all added yet (and can't guarantee all the songs are from the '80s, as many of the artists span multiple decades, as we discussed). But I actually have to get some work done, so I'm gonna stop tinkering with it and just listen for a bit. :)

The Police
- Rachel Lea Fox
as long as you're going Police and not Sting, I can get on board with that... :)
- Bren, Photophobe
Nah, Sting was really much more 90's and a very different style on his own. But while Police were late 70's their major fame was 80's and a strong influence for the time imo.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Best Movie EVER was Sting's Bring on the Night. What year was that? 88? 89?
- Gunny Just Gunny
I have a tendency to group music more on decade sound/style rather than actual year it was made. I think there is lots of run over and someone has to get the ball rolling too which often starts late in the decade preceding the one in which it will truly take off and inspire other artists.
