Don't you just hate it when anyone labels things holographic? Supposedly Al Gore projected himself holographically at Live Earth. Baloney.

This certainly blows any possible credibility he could have with me, especially with his global warming cause.



For the best non-biased discussion of that topic, check out Michael Crichton's book, State of Fear. In his usual relentless manner he researches the heck out of it, and comes to his own conclusion: both sides are manipulating data for their own gains.

Yes, pretty tacky indeed - that slow, patronizing Mr. Rogers voice really rubs my fur the wrong way. But he seems to think that it will connect with the masses. Maybe it does.



An examination of the science related aspects of the Chrichton novel:

My personal fave climate thriller is "With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change"

One review: *Starred Review* Pearce, author of When the River Runs Dry (2006), prides himself on being a skeptical environmental journalist, and now, after covering climate change for 18 years, he has no doubt that we are "interfering with the fundamental processes that make Earth habitable." Believing that everyone needs to understand exactly what is happening on the planet, Pearce consults with experts on ocean currents, polar ice, the carbon cycle, methane, and soot; reports on the rapid melting of polar ice and the Siberian permafrost, the "brown haze" of Asia, and record-breaking heat waves, droughts, and wildfires; and explains that because the earth's systems are intricately interconnected and finely calibrated, small alterations can have abrupt and enormous consequences. Pearce presents a cogent rundown of the findings that establish greenhouse gases as a global warming catalyst and, most disturbingly, provides careful analysis of evidence indicating that climatic change has never been gradual.

It's pretty scary - lots of plausible bad climate scenarios. And those are just the anticipated ones.

Maybe we're warming things up with CO2, but Earth is a pretty complex system and we're just a surface effect on it. The magnetic field is also changing waaay more than predicted. What can we do about that?



In the '80s we worried about nuclear winter. What if Bush Jr.'s plan is to spark off a nuclear exchange (over there of course), thereby solving the global warming problem for the whole world and imposing his religion on everyone at the same time? He'd be King of the World!!! :o
