"Plymouth, England, police are searching for the bespectacled pervert, aged about 40, who smelled the co-op worker's bum at least 20 times on consecutive weekends. CCTV footage shows the 5-foot-9-inch oddball pretending to pick items off shelves before crouching behind the shelf stacker. With his face near his victim's derriere, he seems take a whiff -- and once gets so close his nose touches the man. Click through to watch the footage. Admit it, you're intrigued."

- MikeAmundsen
from Bookmarklet
Yeah right. Another huge entitlement that creates more bureaucracies will never save money.
- Spencer
Spencer, it's a giant loss for the US that they don't just have you coming up with stuff off the top of your head instead of having the CBO laboriously analyzing bills.
- Andrew C
Yes too bad, common sense would be a foreign thing in government today. Once again, who believes creating this huge entitlement will actually lower deficits. LOL.
- Spencer
@Spencer: Did you read how _much_ the 10-yr savings amount to? did you read the Concord Coalition's analysis of the CBO report?
- MikeAmundsen
@Andrew: the CC pretty much trashes the budgetary aspects of the House and Senate bills. i suspect Spencer would find a number of things he could like about the CC analysis if he'd check it out. of course, the CBO report is no walk in the park for HCR-lovers, either.

"the CC pretty much trashes the budgetary aspects of the House and Senate bills." Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of the CC, and not-very-useful stuff like "but they missed medical malpractice reform" is why.

I'm (independent) red, and I don't see Obama is being any more or less approachable than Bush was. But then again being from the latter's home state helps that ;). But there's no doubt he's done more to bring the government process closer to the people it affects than anyone else before him (I'm young, so I may be wrong). And that picture exemplifies that fact

So that you can corral your seething masses of icons into orderly groups, of course! These boxes can be set to fade mostly out of view (along with the icons they contain) until you mouse-over them, letting you keep a tidy-looking, low-profile desktop without having to nuke all your icons."

I will continue to advocate for more urgent development of new technologies. If the world got together and spent some paltry (in a relative sense) amount like $100Billion/year on research, within 3 or 4 years we could create technologies to make fossil fuels obsolete.

The Associated Press: AP IMPACT: Science not faked, but not pretty - http://www.google.com/hostedn...
"E-mails stolen from climate scientists show they stonewalled skeptics and discussed hiding data — but the messages don't support claims that the science of global warming was faked, according to an exhaustive review by The Associated Press. The 1,073 e-mails examined by the AP show that scientists harbored private doubts, however slight and fleeting, even as they told the world they were certain about climate change. However, the exchanges don't undercut the vast body of evidence showing the world is warming because of man-made greenhouse gas emissions."
- Sean McBride
from Bookmarklet
In order to reach a fair and impartial investigatory judgement. Researchers that examine the evidence should recuse themselves when they have an attachment to the suspects or the evidence. Yet that does not seem to be happening here and it is not just this one instance. AP’s Seth Borenstein is just too damn cozy with the people he covers / Investigates http://bit.ly/8jdpqA
- Eric Logan
LOL, yeah, I would bet the "AP" put the same amount effort into this as they did into Sarah Palins book. There is no "vast" body of evidence to support man-made GW.

Examining the computer code that adds fudge factor to create a warming trend is more damaging than the emails.

The fudge factor that was never actually even plotted? (the adjusted data was not actually used in subsequent lines, though many of the "skeptics" sites that posted the code conveniently forgot to leave in those next few lines that would have showed it.)

Blatant disinformation and lies casual observers all over will repeat this lie as if it is the gospel. Small wonder the polarization continues unabated. The process is presently designed to marginalize dissent.
- Eric Logan
All of this misses the point: a substantial majority of the world's leading climate scientists are still convinced, on the basis of the empirical data, that anthropogenic global warming is a serious problem facing the human race, and possibly a catastrophic problem. Global warming deniers are being crushed by the weight of the best science -- this is why they tend to flail around verbally and hurl a great deal of verbal abuse. They can't debate the science.
- Sean McBride
Did you even read this post Sean ? Can you point to anything factual Al Gore has said here in reference to this topic ?
- Eric Logan
The climate change alarmists are not willing to have their data studied or questioned. They are not willing to allow any debate and their only response to questions or challenges is to cast aspersions on the questioner and stifle debate. If anthropogenic climate change actually is a reality then their should be no resistance to testing the science that lead to that conclusion. This article is a prime example of this, via the head climate alarmist, Al Gore.
- pitlord
Pitlord -- you are making hysterical charges that are out of touch with reality. Discussion and debate about climate change are for the most part conducted openly in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The process is transparent and democratic, but meritocratic -- your science needs to be first-rate to acquire traction and impact. In an earlier exchange you were unable to mention even a...

- Sean McBride
Sean, again you choose to try and turn the discussion away from the topic at hand (i.e. Al Gore's lies and evasions) and toward a character assassination of the O.P. I'm sorry to see that you are unable to debate the topic based on the facts. Better luck next time.
- pitlord
Pitlord -- you are a religious fundamentalist, and all religious fundamentalists strike me as irrational children who are allergic to and irritated by science (that is why so many of them are creationists). You can't debate the science of AGW, and people like you decisively lost this debate years ago. That is why you are also going to lose the policy debate on AGW -- the best science is not on your side.
- Sean McBride
Eric -- Gore got it wrong about the dates of the emails, and that issue is entirely irrelevant to the consensus view among climate change experts on AGW. Major grasping at straws in this line of argument.
- Sean McBride
Sean - the e-mail assuredly do not fit the characterization of the most recent being ten years old. The ones I have examined from Phil Jones in reference to there being a cooling trend that may continue until 2020 where he expresses the hope that his colleague is wrong so he can wipe the smug grins of his detractors faces are from Jan 2009.
- Eric Logan
It gives the impression to those that are uniformed that these are very old e-mails when nothing could be further from the truth. I also do not believe it to be an innocuous oversight. The most damning e-mails that have been highlighted are all recent.
- Eric Logan
You've got to look at the big picture, not just these emails; the overall scientific consensus. The AGW model is still dominant by far in the climate science community. If magazines like Nature, Science, Scientific American and New Scientist begin to report a substantive shift in that consensus, then maybe you will gain some traction. But not until then.
- Sean McBride
scariest thing is that there are people foolish enough to believe that accusations of falsified records on climate change actually means that climate change is not real. the willingness to engage in wishful thinking is killing economies and people. history shows this has happened before and those who call themselves "climate skeptics" are contributing to the problem.
- MikeAmundsen
Science isn't ruled by the "consensus", especially when it has been proven "science" has been politicized. If you actually look you will find enough so-called "scientists" that disagree with the Global Warming theory. The problem is, it has turned into a cult-like following where nobody can dare challenge their theories.
- Spencer
Sean, thankfully my religion does not preclude the theory of evolution because evolution and creation are not mutually exclusive. Your assertion that the climate debate ended indicates either ignorance or duplicity on your part. Objective scientists are, in fact, appalled at the liberal attempts to side-step the scientific method for political and economic gain. They have, in fact,...

Surprise, Surprise, Many Scientists Disagree On Global Warming - http://www.foxnews.com/opinion...
"But things are not so clear. It is not just the University of East Anglia data that is at question. There are about 450 academic peer-reviewed journal articles questioning the importance of man-made global warming. The sheer number of scientists rallying against a major intervention to stop carbon dioxide is remarkable. In a petition, more than 30,000 American scientists are urging the U.S. government to reject the Kyoto treaty. Thus, there is hardly the unanimity among scientists about global warming or mankind's role in producing it"
