As expected, we’ll do it for them… Power from Glucose Scientists have implanted the first functional glucose biofuel cell in a living animal. Unlike batteries that supply power to implants, a power-generating device may not have to be surgically removed and replaced, because glucose is a potentially limitless source of energy.
Visually interesting, pretty damned amazing series, actually. I don’t even mind listening to Oprah’s mildly annoying voice (more suited to bedtime stories than something you’d want to stay awake for). At least until they got to the part about polar bears, and had to throw in the usual “swimming for their life”, “melting ice” crap. …
So Phil Jones, the guy who invented the centerpiece of AlGore’s little PowerPoint presentation, has no fracking clue what happened to the records he based the climate scare on. He’s a (now) self-admitted disorganized piss-poor record keeper. Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational …
I don’t get it. If so many climate scientists have done so much research that “the debate is over”, then why do we still get treated to such emotional bullshit as this? “This is probably just a perception, but I just have the feeling that the glaciers are melting, the snow capping the mountains is …
The Republican Party needs a conservative with strong moral values and a voice people will listen to. We don’t need a conservative with strong moral values and a penchant for mythological tales of creation. Especially not one that thinks those same tales need to be taught to children in school science classes.
President ‘has four years to save Earth’ Soaring carbon emissions are already causing ice-cap melting and threaten to trigger global flooding, widespread species loss and major disruptions of weather patterns in the near future. “We cannot afford to put off change any longer,” said Hansen. “We have to get on a new path within this …
Their title, not mine… personally, I think Al Gore is at least a bit evil as well as a lot wrong. I can’t wait for the DVD.
These guys are amazing! China space mission article hits Web before launch – Yahoo! News BEIJING – A news story describing a successful launch of China’s long-awaited space mission and including detailed dialogue between astronauts launched on the Internet Thursday, hours before the rocket had even left the ground. … The arcticle, dated two days …
But since I know you all so well, and I don’t remember any of you accusing me of being polite… I present more random thoughts on religion. (this article was written in my religion wiki, some formatting may not carry through – feel free to read the original, currently at the bottom of the “general” …

Painting by numbers: NASA’s peculiar thermometer Viewing the NASA 250-mile map for March below, what immediately grabs the attention is that NASA has essentially no data (gray areas) in most of Canada, most of Africa, the Greenland ice sheet, and most of Antarctica. This begs the question, how can one calculate an accurate “global temperature” …
I’m guessing John Coleman doesn’t get invited to ride on Al Gore’s private jet… Weather Channel Founder’s Forecast Currently, John Coleman is a TV weatherman for KUSI News in San Diego. But Coleman is most famous for being founder of the Weather Channel. He has had a long career in predicting the weather, working for …
Despite the ramblings of alarmists, scientists who might just know better keep telling us there’s something else going on here. For some time, solar activity has been looked at as the real cause behind climate change, and now we learn cyclical wind patterns weren’t even computed into the arctic models… so are carbon credits are …
This would be hilarious, if the end result either way wasn’t so devastating. IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor’s Business Daily — The Sun Also Sets Back in 1991, before Al Gore first shouted that the Earth was in the balance, the Danish Meteorological Institute released a study using data that went back …
