Another day in the life of a science denier
In reference to "climate change", Paul Krugman leads with:
This just in: Saving the planet would be cheap; it might even be free. But will anyone believe the good news?
Two points – it is entirely debatable as to whether the planet needs saving. Science and the data produced certainly doesn't support the supposition. I'm talking about real science. Not the pseudo-science of the alarmist side – the science denier side. Given that, why should anyone care about whatever "good news" Krugman is shilling today.
Second point – is government involved in the solution (he studiously tries to disguise that in his article)? Of course it is. Then it will be neither cheap nor free. And most likely it will be terrible to boot, hurt the economy, make government larger and more intrusive, etc., etc., etc.
So no, Mr. Krugman, anyone with two brain cells to rub together – and that likely excludes you – won't believe much of anything that comes out of the pseudo-science, and now pseudo-economics of the left.
Climate models are NOT "settled science"
At best they're educated guesses. And, as the actual climate continues to demonstrate when compared to the outcomes the models predict (and that's all they do is come up with a prediction based on how the huge numbers of variables have been set up in the algorithm they use), they're woefully wrong about climate change. This comes under the category of "a picture is worth a thousand words" or in this case, a graph:
Not even close.
Now, who is the "denier"?
What if the UN gave a climate summit and no one came?
President Barack Obama will attend a United Nations summit on climate change in September.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has invited heads of state and other leaders to the Sept. 23 summit in New York. The U.N. says the goal is to spur governments, industry and civil groups to make new commitments to addressing climate change.The summit comes one year before world leaders will gather in Paris for global climate talks aimed at securing a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Obama has set a goal to cut U.S. emissions 17 percent by 2020, compared to 2005 levels.
The Obama administration will seek a non-binding international accord – rather than a treaty – at a United Nations climate summit in Paris next year on reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
It was a widely anticipated move, as President Barack Obama has repeatedly said he would act alone, bypassing Congress, if lawmakers declined to support his proposal.
So one would assume that the UN meeting would lay the groundwork for the Paris talks, no? Since it all under the auspices of the UN? And this apparently is very important to our president, no? He's going to attend, he's got a plan (one of the few plans his administration has ever managed to push out there) to make a commitment for the US while bypassing Congress. What could go wrong with this issue that is so important to Obama? And he's certainly consulted with other world leaders to ensure their cooperation and backing, right?
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leader of the world's third-largest greenhouse gas-emitting nation, won't join his U.S. and Chinese counterparts at a United Nations climate summit next month in New York. Modi's absence is a bit of a blow to the summit.
Chinese counterparts? The Chinese are blowing it off too:
Chinese president Xi Jinping has decided to skip a meeting of world leaders on climate change in New York, according to climate insiders, casting doubt on the summit's potential to make progress ahead of next year's major UN climate summit in Paris.
You think? But, as the commercial says, "that's not all":
German daily TAZ reports that German Chancellor Angela Merkel isn't going to bother attending the Ban Ki-Moon initiated climate conference in New York this coming September. The TAZ adds this has been "confirmed by a government spokesman". Merkel's decision to snub the event is likely another sign that efforts to forge a climate agreement are already dead in water. The TAZ writes: "Ultimately only Europe and very few other countries remain on board. Canada for example has opted out. Japan and Russia are also no longer taking part."
Always the last to know. Kind of like his foreign policy, isn't it? No India. No China. No Russia. No Canada, Germany or Japan.
So, if all of these major players in the world don't see a reason to show up for Obama and Moon's little show, how are those two going to sell this to world as an emergency situation that needs drastic action?
I know — call in John Kerry!
And the clown car continues to careen down the path to nowhere.
Hypocrisy endemic in leftist enviro position on solar and wind power
How many times have we been treated to hissy fits by the environmental left when it comes to species other than humans and their endangerment? What group has constantly pushed for laws that protect animals from humans? And where have the enviros been mostly silent as a particular group of animals is wantonly slaughtered daily in the name of green, renewable energy?
California's massive Ivanpah solar power plant can produce enough electricity for 140,000 households — but the environmental cost is nothing less than an avian slaughter.
The plant's 350,000 mirrors bounce sizzling sunlight to the tops of three 40-story boiler towers, heating steam for turbine electricity generators. Temperatures near the towers can reach up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, heat certainly sufficient to fry a fowl.
"Workers at the state-of-the-art solar plant in the Mojave Desert have a name for birds that fly through the plant's concentrated sun rays — 'streamers,' for the smoke plume that comes from birds that ignite in midair," the Associated Press reports this week.
That's a common occurrence, the AP continues; federal investigators saw a bird burn roughly every two minutes. Ivanpah owner BrightSource estimates that "about a thousand" die each year, and one environmental group says the plant kills up to 28,000 birds each year.
Of course, if you do the math (and account for 12 hours of darkness each day) it comes out to about 130,000 a year – assuming the observation that one bird "burns" every two minutes. And the outcry? Yeah, not so much.
And some of the birds it is killing are, among others, endangered:
As the plant prepared to begin operations, workers found the winged corpses of "a peregrine falcon, a grebe, two hawks, four nighthawks, and a variety of warblers and sparrows," the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year.
You want a "silent spring"? Keep building these sorts of installations.
What about wind turbines? Well, Ivanpah comes up a piker in comparison:
Ivanpah isn't the only green darling with a lot of bird blood on its hands, either. The American Bird Conservancy estimates wind turbines slay 440,000 birds each year, and the an analyst writing in the Wildlife Society Bulletin says it's closer to 573,000 — in addition to 888,000 bats.
And, as usual, our federal government makes exceptions to the law for favored industries:
Federal wildlife officials on Friday for the first time agreed not to prosecute a developer if an endangered California condor is struck and killed by turbine blades at its proposed wind farm in the Tehachapi Mountains, about 100 miles north of Los Angeles.
You accidentally do it and watch how much of an exception they make for you.
In the meantime, with all this data showing massive bird kills among solar and wind turbine installations?
Crickets – unless they find some other sort of "green energy" source that happens to wipe them out too.
Climate change treaty: "Constitution? Obama don't need no stinkin' Constitution!"
Well, if reports are true it appears our self-crowned king has decided he's found a way to obligate us to a treaty without following the Constitution's proviso for doing so.
In seeking to go around Congress to push his international climate change agenda, Mr. Obama is echoing his domestic climate strategy. In June, he bypassed Congress and used his executive authority to order a far-reaching regulation forcing American coal-fired power plants to curb their carbon emissions….
American negotiators are instead homing in on a hybrid agreement — a proposal to blend legally binding conditions from an existing 1992 treaty with new voluntary pledges. The mix would create a deal that would update the treaty, and thus, negotiators say, not require a new vote of ratification.
Countries would be legally required to enact domestic climate change policies — but would voluntarily pledge to specific levels of emissions cuts and to channel money to poor countries to help them adapt to climate change. Countries might then be legally obligated to report their progress toward meeting those pledges at meetings held to identify those nations that did not meet their cuts.
"There's some legal and political magic to this," said Jake Schmidt, an expert in global climate negotiations with the Natural Resources Defense Council, an advocacy group. "They're trying to move this as far as possible without having to reach the 67-vote threshold" in the Senate.
"Political magic"? Is that the state of our nation now – we resort to "political magic" when we can't get our way as the Constitution requires? Well, yes.
President Obama seems to be following a script laid out in May, 2014 by former Undersecretary for Global Affairs Timothy Wirth, who was the Clinton Administration's lead negotiator for the Kyoto Protocol, and former South Dakota Senator Thomas Daschle who astutely asserted that "the international community should stop chasing the chimera of a binding treaty to limit CO2 emissions." They further noted that more than two decades of U.N. climate negotiations have failed because "nations could not agree on who is to blame, on how to allocate emissions, or on projections for the future."
Wirth and Daschle are advocating that the climate negotiators adopt a system of "pledge and review" at the 2015 Paris conference of the parties to the UNFCCC. In such a scheme nations would make specific pledges to cut their carbon emissions, to adopt clean energy technologies, and to wring more GDP out of each ton of carbon emitted. The parties would review their progress toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions every three years and make further pledges as necessary to achieve the goal of keeping the increase in average global temperature under 2°C. Since there would be no legally binding targets, there would be no treaty that would require politically difficult ratification. If insufficient progress is being made by 2020 they argue that countries should consider adopting globally coordinated price on carbon.
Now this isn't to say that this is going to work or even have an effect, but it is a blatant attempt to have one's way (via "political magic") while avoiding the unpleasantness of a failure to get a ratification by tw0-thirds of the Senate (its all about getting the leverage to pass a carbon tax).
And, as usual, Mr. Obama doesn't care one whit about much more than getting his way – just ask Senate Democrats:
President Obama's election-year plan to win a new international climate change accord is making vulnerable Democrats nervous.
The administration is in talks at the United Nations about a deal that would seek to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by "naming and shaming" governments that fail to take significant action.
The State Department on Wednesday denied a report in The New York Times that the plan is to come up with a treaty that would not require Senate confirmation, but that appeared to provide cold comfort to Democrats worried the issue will revive GOP cries about an imperial Obama presidency.
One Democratic strategist said the proposal would put swing-state candidates who are critical to the party keeping its Senate majority "in front of the firing squad."
"You're … making it more difficult for them to win and certainty putting them in a position to lose," the strategist said.
Silver linings … always look for the silver lining to those storm clouds.
And then there's immigration …
Climate Change: About that big yellow thing that hangs in the sky each day …
If the findings of a new study are correct, it appears the sun is indeed the primary reason for global temps being higher for a few years. I know, you're shocked aren't you? Who would have thought the big heater in the sky could have a role in temperature increases? Well not the alarmists.
As illustrated in the figure below, the authors report there is "remarkable agreement" among the overlapping years of their reconstruction (solid black line) and the number of sunspots recorded from direct observations since 1610 (red line). Their reconstruction of solar activity also displays several "distinct features," including several "well-defined Grand minima of solar activity, ca. 770 BC, 350 BC, 680 AD, 1050 AD, 1310 AD, 1470 AD, and 1680 AD," as well as "the modern Grand maximum (which occurred during solar cycles 19-23, i.e., 1950-2009)," which they describe as "a rare or even unique event, in both magnitude and duration, in the past three millennia."
Figure 1. Reconstructed decadal average of sunspot numbers for the period 1150 BC-1950 AD (black line). The 95% confidence interval is shown by the gray shading and directly measured sunspot numbers are shown in red. The horizontal dashed lines demark the bounds of the three suggested modes (Grand Minimum, Regular, and Grand Maximum) as defined by Usoskin et al.
A "rare or even unique event" which had zip to do with man or CO2, but certainly coincided with the panic about man-made global warming, huh? And the alarmists gave what sort of influence to the sun in their models?
Usoskin et al. (2014) write their results "provide important constraints for both dynamo models of Sun-like stars and investigations of possible solar influence on Earth's climate." They also illustrate the importance of improving the quality of such reconstructions, in light of the fact that previous reconstructions of this nature "did not reveal any clear signature of distinct modes" in solar activity.
Unfortunately, it was beyond the scope of this paper to address the potential impact of solar activity on climate. Yet the reconstruction leaves a very big question unanswered — What effect did the Grand maximum of solar activity that occurred between 1950 and 2009 have on Earth's climate? As a "unique" and "rare" event in terms of both magnitude and duration, one would think a lot more time and effort would be spent by the IPCC and others in answering that question. Instead, IPCC scientists have conducted relatively few studies of the Sun's influence on modern warming, assuming that the temperature influence of this rare and unique Grand maximum of solar activity, which has occurred only once in the past 3,000 years, is far inferior to the radiative power provided by the rising CO2 concentration of the Earth's atmosphere.
Not that any of these facts will at all derail the Alarmist's rush to provide an expensive solution to a non-existent problem. Doug Hoffman summarizes what we who are totally skeptical of the "science" of man-made global warming face:
One of the sad side effects of the global warming climate scam is the way otherwise fairly intelligent people have been snookered into believing the dumbest things. There is no shortage of "experts" who gleefully back up claims of climate induced catastrophe—some with scholarly gravitas, others with fanatical shrillness. And the list of false and debunked claims goes on and on. Part of the blame for all these faux catastrophes rests squarely on the news media. Operating under the old adage, "if it bleeds it leads," the mindless vultures of the world's news agencies flock to report any calamity, more than happy to attributed the event to climate change. Instead of registering guns, governments should register cameras and microphones—they are truly dangerous weapons in the hands of the breathtakingly ignorant members of the fourth estate.
Indeed. One of the things we've discussed here before is how the rise of advocacy "journalism" harms us all. This "scam", as Hoffman characterizes it, points out in spades how poorly we're served by our media today.
Don't expect this study to get much attention. It is counter to the conventional wisdom, counter to the desire to further empower government and certainly counter to the desire by those in power to cash in on this faux crisis.
The most important reason the left's "War on Coal" is wrong
Energy Matters takes a look at the progress of the green energy renewables that were supposed to be saving the day and justifying the "war on coal":
"So while we can expect that hydro will continue to provide most of the energy generated by renewables for some time to come it isn't likely to contribute to decarbonizing global energy generation any more than it already has. If decarbonization is to be achieved by expanding renewables the expansion will have to come in wind, solar and biomass. So let's take hydro out and see how far growth in wind, solar and biomass has carried us along the decarbonization path so far…Clearly they still have a long way to go."
Ya think?!
US government data shows no warming in US for last decade
So, when you hear Obama and the alarmist bleating incessantly about the crisis of "global warming" or "climate change" or whatever phrase they choose to characterize the hoax they're trying to perpetrate on the people of the country, ensure you point out that not even their own data supports their claim:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's most accurate, up-to-date temperature data confirm the United States has been cooling for at least the past decade. The NOAA temperature data are driving a stake through the heart of alarmists claiming accelerating global warming.
Responding to widespread criticism that its temperature station readings were corrupted by poor siting issues and suspect adjustments, NOAA established a network of 114 pristinely sited temperature stations spread out fairly uniformly throughout the United States. Because the network, known as the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN), is so uniformly and pristinely situated, the temperature data require no adjustments to provide an accurate nationwide temperature record. USCRN began compiling temperature data in January 2005. Now, nearly a decade later, NOAA has finally made the USCRN temperature readings available.
According to the USCRN temperature readings, U.S. temperatures are not rising at all – at least not since the network became operational 10 years ago. Instead, the United States has cooled by approximately 0.4 degrees Celsius, which is more than half of the claimed global warming of the twentieth century.
But, but, that's only the US … yup, and that supports the observation that globally there has been no warming for the past 17 years. The models are wrong. Just flat wrong and it's time we started saying that. There is no credence to be found in their predictions and certainly nothing to support the alarmist's claims.
Carly Fiorino, former CEO of Hewlett Packard and a senate candidate remarked this weekend on the cobbled up "war on women". On CNN, she pulled out a fortune she'd gotten from a fortune cookie and said:
"'Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause,'" Fiorina read. "And that's exactly right. The War On Women is shameless, baseless propaganda. There's no fact to it. But it's worked because it's scared women to death. Enough."
Substitute the alarmist's "climate change" for "war on women" and it describes precisely what is going on with them. They have no case, only propaganda, and their only "argument" is to call the other side names and call for violent action against them.
Meanwhile, the case against the alarmist cause just keeps on getting stronger and stronger, not that it will slow them down or cause them to decrease the volume of screaming. It's not about science, it's abotu power and money … and they want both. More power over the way you live and more money to use against you to enforce their edicts.
A few things to note
I don't mind at all saying "I told you so" when it comes to the alarmists and "climate change". You'll remember a few weeks ago when the alarmists began screeching about the collapse of an ice shelf in Antarctica and how that was going to raise sea levels by feet, not inches and that there was nothing we could do about it? Oh, and it was because of man-made global warming?
We found out subsequently, that the "rise in sea levels" might occur with this melting of the ice shelf, but that it would likely take a 1,000 years. And, at that time, I put forward an article I'd written for QandO in 2009 where I noted that volcanic activity (aka geothermal activity) was responsible for an ice melt then. I further posited that it was entirely possible it was responsible for the most recent ice shelf melt (since it is very close to the shelf itself) and had nothing to do with man.
Thwaites Glacier, the large, rapidly changing outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is not only being eroded by the ocean, it's being melted from below by geothermal heat, researchers at the Institute for Geophysics at The University of Texas at Austin (UTIG) report in the current edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The findings significantly change the understanding of conditions beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet where accurate information has previously been unobtainable.
The Thwaites Glacier has been the focus of considerable attention in recent weeks as other groups of researchers found the glacier is on the way to collapse, but more data and computer modeling are needed to determine when the collapse will begin in earnest and at what rate the sea level will increase as it proceeds. The new observations by UTIG will greatly inform these ice sheet modeling efforts.
Using radar techniques to map how water flows under ice sheets, UTIG researchers were able to estimate ice melting rates and thus identify significant sources of geothermal heat under Thwaites Glacier. They found these sources are distributed over a wider area and are much hotter than previously assumed.
The geothermal heat contributed significantly to melting of the underside of the glacier, and it might be a key factor in allowing the ice sheet to slide, affecting the ice sheet's stability and its contribution to future sea level rise.
Oh my. Who knew? Uh, we did. Or at least we were able to apply facts and logic to the event and give a credible hypothesis as to why what was happening was happening. Nice.
On another subject, the Bergdahl fiasco, it appears that Mr. Obama, who was perfectly fine about taking all the credit for his release when it appeared it would be to his political advantage (thus the Rose Garden announcement with the family), has now found someone he can throw under the bus since it has all gone wrong. It's Hagel's fault:
FInal approval for the prisoner exchange that freed Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was made by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, members of Congress learned on Monday from administration officials.
'They indicated (it was) Secretary Hagel (who made the final call),' Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA) said after a classified briefing, ABC points out.
'It was the president of the United States that came out (in the Rose Garden) with the Bergdahls and took all the credit and now that there's been a little pushback he's moving away from it and it's Secretary Hagel?'
Yup … I've lost count of all those who've found themselves looking at the underside of the Obama bus. And for those who don't think that this was an attempt to divert attention from the VA scandal, check this little tidbit out:
The final agreement was brokered in a week by Qatar and dovetailed with Obama's announcement of a complete withdrawal from Afghanistan by the end of 2017. Engulfed in a scandal over hospital care for veterans, it also provided him an opportunity to demonstrate he was helping those who had served.
So it was Hagel's final call? Yeah, right. Again, the administration insults our intelligence.
Meanwhile we find more and more neglect and corruption in the VA, an agency that Mr. Obama criticized when his predecessor was in charge and vowed to clean up:
The agency said more than 57,000 new patients have waited at least 90 days for their first appointments and that about 13 percent of VA schedulers indicated they were told to falsify appointment-request dates to give the impression that wait times were shorter than they really were.
Remember, this is pure government run health care aimed at a very small population, relatively speaking. And it is a disaster.
The agency also found evidence that in the past 10 years, nearly 64,000 veterans who sought VA care were simply never seen by a doctor.
"Simply". Not simply at all. This is mind numbing incompetence and corruption. This was Ezra Klein's ideal example for touting the benefits of government run (single payer) health care back when he was shilling so hard for the ACA. Obama has done nothing to change the situation. Congress, as usual has simply thrown money at it assuming that would fix it. But its not just Obama's problem. This is a decades old institutional problem driven by a corrupt and incompetent bureaucracy that has given short shrift to the care of our veteran population. This is the face of "government run healthcare".
"Check your premise"
One of the first things you learn when you're putting an argument forward is to check the premise of your argument to ensure it is valid. Obviously if it isn't, then you end up battling a straw man and looking like a bit of a fool.
We have a practical example of not checking your premise (that's giving him the benefit of the doubt- in fact it may be a case of creating a false premise on purpose) in the New York Times today by a professor of classics and anthropology at George Washington University. Professor Cline writes an op/ed there in which he attempts to prove that climate change doomed the ancients and that the history of that time replicates the danger we face at this time.
Uh, ok. But, of course, that's not the real purpose of his history lesson as soon becomes evident. It is to take a political shot at "climate deniers" by using Senator James Inhofe as a proxy for AGW skeptics – without ever naming them as such:
THIS month, a report issued by a prominent military advisory board concluded that climate change posed a serious threat to America's national security.
The authors, 16 retired high-ranking officers, warned that droughts, rising seas and extreme weather events, among other environmental threats, were already causing global "instability and conflict."
But Senator James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee and a stalwart believer that global warming is a "hoax," dismissed the report as a publicity stunt.
Perhaps the senator needs a history lesson, because climate change has been leading to global conflict — and even the collapse of civilizations — for more than 3,000 years. Drought and famine led to internal rebellions in some societies and the sacking of others, as people fleeing hardship at home became conquerors abroad.
Note how he switches from "global warming" to "climate change" – a term he will use throughout the rest of his article. He knows "global warming" has become a loaded term. But it is clear, the premise he is putting forward is that Senator Inhofe is denying the climate is changing and calling it all a hoax.
But, in fact, Senator Inhofe has never denied "climate change". Who would? Our climate changes – constantly. Instead, what he has denied is that man is causing it. He's been quite clear about that.
Inhofe, former chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, does not believe that human activities cause climate change.
"I have to admit—and, you know, confession is good for the soul… I, too, once thought that catastrophic global warming was caused by anthropogenic gases—because everyone said it was." [emphasis mine]
That's right – everyone said it was. And some never bothered to investigate it themselves, but took it on faith that the nonsense being touted was factual and true. But subsequent study of the actual science, not that which had been manipulated (and now discredited), as well as the history of temperature change in the last 17 years (it hasn't changed) vs what the models said would happen, have led him and many others to believe the entire basis of AGW was flawed and a "hoax".
Go figure.
By leaving out the fact that Inhofe thinks that " man made" climate change is a "hoax", Cline creates a false premise – that Inhofe doesn't believe climate change is real. And by addressing only "climate change", he then can attempt to make Inhofe look like a science denier who isn't acting in the best interest of our nation and our military. By doing that he marginalizes Inhofe.
So why would Senator Inhofe call a report on the impact of climate change on our national security a hoax if we all know the climate always changes and, at some point in the future, could indeed impact our national security? He probably wouldn't. He didn't call it a hoax for that reason. He called it a hoax because of a couple of paragraphs in the report's executive summary that clearly, if not implicitly, put AGW to the fore as the reason for this climate change as well as calling for emissions to be limited:
"Scientists around the globe are increasing their confidence, narrowing their projections, and reaffirming the likely causes of climate change. As described in Climate Change Impacts in the United States: The Third National Assessment: "Heat trapping gases already in the atmosphere have committed us to a hotter future with more climate related impacts over the next few decades. The magnitude of climate change beyond the next few decades depends primarily on the amount of heat trapping gasses emitted globally, now and in the future."
Climate mitigation and adaptation efforts are emerging in various places around the world, but the extent of these efforts to mitigate and adapt to the projections are insufficient to avoid significant potential water, food and energy insecurity; political instability; extreme weather events; and other manifestations of climate change. Coordinated, wide-scale and well-executed actions to limit heat-trapping gasses and increase resilience to help prevent and protect against the worst projected climate change impacts are required – now.
Obviously you can't stop or limit the "amount of heat trapping gasses" emitted by nature, so what gasses are the authors talking about here? Why what else – those emitted by man. IOW, they've carefully danced around not saying "man-made global warming" but it is precisely what they're talking about. And that, given the evidence now available in the present, is what Inhofe is calling a hoax.
Cline lays out his history lesson based on this false premise. As far as the history goes, meh, it's okay. I'm not sure it proves much of anything concerning whether or not this was happening globally, but the regional change obviously had an effect. A hint that it was a regional phenomenon is found in one of Cline's paragraphs:
While sea levels may not have been rising then, as they are now, changes in the water temperature may have been to blame for making life virtually unlivable in parts of the region.
Guess the glaciers and such located around the globe must have been pretty stable, even while all this was going on in the area noted, huh?
Anyway, he concludes with this little gem:
We live in a world that has more similarities to that of the Late Bronze Age than one might suspect, including, as the British archaeologist Susan Sherratt has put it, an "increasingly homogeneous yet uncontrollable global economy and culture" in which "political uncertainties on one side of the world can drastically affect the economies of regions thousands of miles away."
But there is one important difference. The Late Bronze Age civilizations collapsed at the hands of Mother Nature. It remains to be seen if we will cause the collapse of our own.
And there it is. While refusing to call it "man-made global warming" through the entire piece, his last few words give away the game [emphasis mine]. He's just another pedantic alarmist using a false premise to try to attack someone who disagrees with the obviously flawed "consensus". Somehow he thinks relating a cyclical climate event from centuries ago where man obviously couldn't have influenced it even if he tried to what is happening (or not happening in reality) today somehow makes a compelling case. You know, it couldn't just be the same cause that precipitated the events back then coming to visit us again could it? Nope, it has to be man.
This guy is teaching your children folks. And this is the quality of his work. The irony is he just prostituted his academic credibility to take a political shot at someone – and missed.

About Us
East Coast Community Healthcare CIC (ECCH) is a staff owned Social Enterprise, providing community based NHS and social care in Norfolk & Waveney.
Our services include district nursing, health visiting, community in-patient services, physiotherapy, speech & language therapy, occupational therapy, specialist nursing care, palliative care, primary care, breastfeeding support, school nursing (Waveney area only) and public health services.
We have contracts with the NHS and two County Councils. At least 70,000 people are registered as service users with ECCH.
Why did ECCH become a social enterprise?
We were part of Great Yarmouth and Waveney NHS Primary Care Trust. We applied to become a social enterprise so that we could take charge of our own destiny and make real improvements in services to patients. It was widely recognised at the time of our spin-out that the social enterprise model would offer us the opportunity to create a more sustainable and flexible organisation. We are a 'human' organisation in every way, most of our funds are spent on staff to care for people and we have an ethos of high quality care, every time.
Why does being a social enterprise make a difference?
The difference is that staff have a stake – and therefore a real say – in how the organisation works. Social enterprises offer staff a new sense of belonging. They can even become a Staff Director and sit on the Board, if they're elected by their colleagues.
One of the current Staff Directors is Ali Jennings, ECCH's Safeguarding Lead/Named Nurse. She said: "The social enterprise model fits perfectly. We are passionate about the care and services we provide but an important difference is that clinicians can influence the strategic direction we take is in the very best interests of patients and clients.
"There is an energy and buzz about ECCH which makes it truly outstanding."
Recognition for ECCH
In 2013, ECCH was "Highly Commended" in a national competition to find the "Public Sector Mutual of the Year" – the Philip Baxendale Awards.
Afterwards, the Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude wrote congratulating ECCH for the "significant improvements to community healthcare provision since its transfer to an employee owned social enterprise in October 2011.
Mr Maude said in his letter: "ECCH has made positive changes to the healthcare services provided to local citizens."
Strong performance as a social enterprise
Around 68% of staff are shareholders - well above average for a social enterprise. We established "The Hub" which holds regular meetings for shareholders to aid communication and future growth. Two Staff Directors, elected by shareholders, sit on the Board. Shareholders played a full role in the appointment of the Chair and Non-Executive Directors, playing an integral role 'from the ground up' in the continuing direction of the business. Shareholders are regularly consulted.
Achievements as a social enterprise
- East Coast Community Healthcare gave itself four years to achieve a long list of milestones such as implement mobile IT for over 350 staff, create a more integrated approach to improve care for patients, work with our acute hospital and primary care colleagues reduce length of hospital stays, reduce staff sickness… all these we achieved in the first 12 months. We have increased staffing and also reduced overheads to increase spend on services.
- ECCH has received excellent reports following inspections of its community hospitals, district nursing service, and the Nelson GP Practice by the Care Quality Commission.
- We want our patients to have a 'one-stop shop' for care: We have been commissioned to run two Out of Hospital teams of nurses, therapists and care workers to serve the Lowestoft and Great Yamouth areas. It is part of a new way of working that integrates NHS and social care services to benefit patients.
- We extended our district nursing service to cover twilight hours and we are now working with staff to provide a resilient 24/7 service to patients.
- The government made us an "Early Implementer Site" for Health Visiting – actively supporting mums during pregnancy and for two years after their child is born.
- Our Family Nurse Partnership programme – supporting teenaged parents – is nationally recognised.
- Our breastfeeding team has been awarded the highest recognition from UNICEF, achieving Level 3 of its 'baby friendly' initiative. The team has also launched an App to support mums and dads and has a very successful peer support team.
- In the past year 98% of people who responded to the NHS Friends and Family Test said they would either be likely or extremely likely to recommend the care they received from ECCH.

Student-Alumni Engagement Externship Experiences Career Exploration
A glimpse into the career world... [ prince • tern • ship ]
(n.) A career exploration program sponsored by Career Services and a unique opportunity for students to investigate a career field and make professional connections by spending one to three days with alumni at their workplace during academic breaks. The Princeternship program began in 2008 and offers current students a way to explore potential careers by visiting alumni in the workplace to get an "inside look" at the work world, experience a "day in the life" of a particular profession, and develop a network of contacts. Over the last few years, this program has grown significantly and now includes opportunities in various geographic regions, industries, and fields. We look forward to expanding both the number of alumni hosts and the number of student participants, with a goal of offering Princeternship experiences across a wide range of industries for every interested student. Student-alumni engagement is such an important part of the career exploration process. If you are an alumnus/a, I invite you to consider hosting a student for a Princeternship at your organization to expose them to your profession or industry. If you are a current student, I invite you to consider applying for a Princeternship to expand your knowledge of career options and workplace culture, as well as to begin building an invaluable network of alumni contacts. As you read through this brochure, please take note of the positive feedback received from alumni, excerpts from the students' blogs, and the photos of smiling alumni hosts and their Princeterns—all evidence of the ongoing benefit of this externship program and this outstanding partnership with alumni. Sincerely,
Beverly Hamilton-Chandler Director, Office of Career Services
through the lens of dedicated alumni
"It was absolutely incredible to meet individuals like Secretary Duncan... and to witness the coming together of so many different individuals who are all concerned about the education of children in this country..." Angela Rodriguez '11 with Arne Duncan U.S. Department of Education
unique benefits alumni Share your insights and experiences to educate students about your profession, career path, and/or your organization. Offer the student(s) a learning experience via exposure to a variety of professional activities at your workplace.

Connect with students who could be potential summer interns and future employees. Gain additional visibility for your organization on-campus in conjunction with program promotion and the student blogs published on the Career Services website.
students Explore a potential career field by getting an "inside look" at the jobs of alumni. Experience a "day in the life" of a particular profession with an alum as your host and guide. Participate in learning activities that contribute to your career exploration and your understanding of various occupations and workplace cultures. Connect with alumni who can provide valuable career advice. Learn about the career path of your host to understand how careers evolve and change over time.

"The fit was excellent. The students were interested and interesting, asked good questions, and seemed to enjoy their time (here)."
Maura O'Sullivan '13 and her host Leslie Margolis '82 of the Maryland Disability Law Center
to alumni When you remember your days at Princeton, was there someone who had a significant impact on your early career decisions? Someone who offered advice, shared their insights, or advocated for you? Someone who helped shape your career direction?
he Office of Career Services invites Princeton alumni to host current students at their workplace for a one-to-three day Princeternship experience. Volunteering your time to give current students a "day in the life� perspective of your profession will have a lasting impact on their career development. Please help us reach our goal of doubling the number of Princeternships offered and increasing the variety of industries represented.
Since 2008,
182 79 28 students have participated in the program

"I am very grateful for this invaluable opportunity to have met such amazing people working for an admirable cause."
to students Ready to observe your prospective field first-hand? Here's your chance! Apply for a Princeternship, a one-to-three day opportunity to shadow an alumnus/a and gain a "day in the life" glimpse into his or her industry or profession. Without the long-term commitment of an internship, you can explore a career, connect with alumni, and get a taste of life in the workplace.

he Office of Career Services offers participants the option to chronicle their experiences by writing a blog/journal (and sharing photos) for our website. As you read their blogs on the website, you will find information about the types of learning activities involved in the Princeternship program, the alumni hosts and their organizations, as well as the students' observations and impressions of the profession, the field, and the workplace culture. We hope other Princeton students will enjoy learning more about the variety of career fields represented in the blogs and will consider applying for their own Princeternship opportunity in the future. We have provided excerpts from five of the over 60 blogs written by students this past year.
...my Princeternship Hana Garfing '13, Christie's Art Auction House ...my host, Mr. George McNeely '83, was down to earth, engaging, and incredibly likeable! In a short amount of time, he explained to me how Christie's worked and what Business Development does. He really loves his job and has a true passion for the art auction house. His office walls are covered in colorful posters, including an image from an art exam that I took last week. I was given a project to research, the Chinese Art Market, the subject of an upcoming panel discussion that Mr. McNeely would be participating in. I was also told that I will be helping his assistant, Ashleigh, and the other Administrative Assistants during my short time. Organizational skills and use of Excel were imperative in this role. I loved my time at Christie's and wish that I could have stayed longer. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, smart, and deeply passionate about the work they were doing. I briefly experienced that in this field, no day is the same, so getting bored is never an issue. I love performing different tasks, always expect the unexpected, and enjoy adapting to new environments, so this Princeternship was perfect for someone like me.
STUDENT BLOGS Richard Gadsden '13, Pace University Law School ...After a full morning at the courthouse, my host, Ms. Elizabeth Corwin '89, took us over to Pace Law School for lunch and a meeting with a student studying international law. She explained to us that, while students may get a certificate in a certain type of law, this doesn't limit them to practicing that type. We ended the day sitting in on a class, Criminal Procedure Adjudication. The day we visited, the class was discussing the different ways of screening the decision to charge, comparing preliminary hearings to grand juries. At some points, the professor lectured, but she spent a lot of the class time posing questions to the students and guiding them to the answers, rather than telling them. Students were all actively involved in the learning process. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with this Princeternship. I got to experience a bit of what it's like to be a law student and also see some lawyers in action. I was only vaguely thinking about law school as an option before, but this experience has made me want to consider it more seriously. I learned so much in these three days, and I would recommend the program to anyone thinking about law.
Anna Simpson '14, SRI International I met my host, Dr. Dennis Matthies *70 *74, at Frist Campus Center for a short drive down Washington Road to SRI International (formerly Sarnoff Corporation). As we entered the building, he told Josh Chen '14 (the other Princetern) and me about the rich history of the laboratories. They were formerly part of RCA Corporation and the location of innovations such as the color television, liquid crystal displays, highdefinition television, and many others. We went from the past to the present as we went through an iris scanner that identifies employees as they walk through it and over to Dr. Matthies' office, where he told us about his current responsibilities in the company. ...The most valuable part of the day for me was hearing about Dr. Matthies' experience, the range of his projects, and his perspective on defense contracting. I would enthusiastically recommend the Princeternship program to anyone curious about a career path or industry. As Dr. Matthies pointed out, Princeton alumni are very eager to share their expertise and experiences with current students!
STUDENT BLOGS Christian Smutherman '14, U.S. Department of Education ...Everything moved very quickly that day. The air of excitement surrounding the President's speech was virtually tangible! Mr. Massie Ritsch '98, my host during the Princeternship, brought me to an array of top government meetings within his department. I was given the wonderful opportunity to sit in on a confidential debriefing between top White House officials and the Department of Education's political appointees. I was then whisked away to another important meeting where the department discussed an upcoming international summit for education. I was able to listen as the Department's leaders talked to representatives from all over the world about this upcoming event. ...I've learned so much about the government and my perspectives have definitely changed. As a freshman, this has helped me to see that I want to continue learning about policy and education reform. This experience has reinforced my desire to further change in my own community and provide resources for the students who are fighting for a better education. If you're a freshman interested in government, policy, or just education in general, go for this opportunity!
Brandon Chan '12, Princeton Musculoskeletal Institute The thought of going to medical school is an intimidating one, one which we have to spend time to think about and explore through various activities, shadowing experiences, and talks with others. This Princeternship allowed me and my fellow Princetern, Kanwal Matharu '13, to witness a professional who truly enjoyed every minute of his job. My host, Dr. Richard Levandowski '70, has a love of medicine and his patients' love for him was evident in every appointment. This inspired us to fully commit to medical school and tackle all of the challenges ahead with this type of specialization as a possible goal. We would enthusiastically recommend this Princeternship because of the environment Dr. Levandowski creates with his energy. He engaged us in various ways, whether it be asking us questions or sharing anecdotes, or giving us stethoscopes to give us a way to contribute to patient care in a small way. Dr. Levandowski and his staff made us feel welcome at every step, and it was a great experience. Although writing simple prescriptions and taking heart rates was fun, the true value of this Princeternship was spending time with Dr. Levandowski and his caring staff.
"The students were outstanding! They were thoughtful in their questions and appreciative of the time and effort we spent with them. A+"
...about Princeterns in the workplace "The tasks we gave our Princetern had a good balance and exposed her to many important aspects of our organization's work. She left with new knowledge and new perspectives."
"The students came prepared with questions, listened carefully to everyone they met with, made a great impression on my colleagues, and represented Princeton well."
"I offered my guidance on next steps that seemed appropriate for each student in their career exploration. In the end, both students applied for our summer internship program and were accepted!"
"Everyone was very impressed with the Princetern, and I received very positive feedback from my colleagues. I very much enjoyed my interactions with the student (and being a host)!"
"Our Princetern was very professional and mature. She exhibited independence in carrying out the tasks given to her. She even followed up on her own in contacting others I suggested could be a resource for her in the future for her JP or senior thesis."
onnections are so important! This adage is so true, especially in today's challenging economy. The connections students make with alumni are such an important part of the career exploration process. In addition to the Princeternship program, we invite Princeton alumni to consider volunteering for some of the other student-alumni engagement programs coordinated by the Office of Career Services. Whether returning to campus to speak to students or offering your insights and advice online, you can make a significant difference! Alumni and students may find more information about these programs by visiting:

Jermaine calls for Jackson family truce
Jermaine Jackson called Wednesday for an end to the public feud that has embroiled his family for more than a week, as if reading our own thoughts, which run, in brief, like this: Jackson family please go away.
Jackson wrote in a statement first released to the AP that he regrets the public turmoil that resulted from his mother Katherine's 10-day trip to an Arizona spa. The trip sparked a missing person's report and a driveway confrontation between relatives at the home of Katherine Jackson before a judge stripped her of guardianship duties.
He says issues over the care of his mother and with late brother Michael's estate should be handled privately.
"Mistakes have been made and irrational things have been said on both sides in a highly charged emotional environment," Jermaine Jackson wrote. "It is time for us all to draw a line in the sand and move towards peace, co-operation, love and healing."
And silence.

How to Make a Spoon Rack
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
With a quick trip to the thrift store, you can create this adorable Spoon Rack, perfect for hanging aprons, scarves, and light coats. Learn How to Make a Spoon Rack with this easy to follow tutorial from Maureen Wilson.
- Old spoons
- Pot of boiling water
- Oven mitt
- Board
- Acrylic paints & paintbrush
- Sandpaper
- Electric drill with bit
- Ribbon
- Small screws
- Picture hanging hardware
First, you'll need to find spoons for this project. The ones I found are old and plated in silver, so they have an interesting patina. I paid $3 for 10 pieces.
Next we'll need to bend the spoons so they'll work as hooks. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Put the spoons in the pot and allow to boil for 15 minutes or so.
Put on an oven mitt, and remove a spoon with tongs. Bend the spoon right where the handle meets the bowl. Since the metal is hot, it should be pretty easy to bend.
Now we can work on the board. Pretty much any board will do! There's always a wide variety of decorative boards at my local thrift store, I picked up this one for a dollar. But you could also use whatever you have in your garage.
Paint your board with acrylic paint. I want mine to look old, so I'm going to paint the edges with red paint first. Then I'll cover it with a coat of black.
While my first coat dries, I'm going to make the holes in my spoons. It's best to use a new drill bit. Place a scrap of wood beneath the spoon so you don't hurt your table. Then, start drilling! You have to be a little patient, as it took me about three minutes per spoon. Stop every once in awhile to blow the metal shavings from the hole.
Now that my spoons are drilled, I can add my second coat of paint.
Once that's dry, measure and mark where your spoons will go. You want them to be evenly spaced.
I'm going to attach my spoons with sturdy screws, in case I ever decide to hang something heavier than aprons. But since the screws aren't very attractive, I'm going to cover them with ribbon bows. Cut about a half yard of ribbon for each spoon.
Place the ribbon beneath the spoon's hole. You may find it helpful to have someone hold the ends, as it tends to twist when you begin drilling the screw. Add the screw to the hole and secure.
Tie the ribbon in a bow to cover the screw's head.
Finally, I'm sanding the edges of my board a bit so that the first coat of red paint shows through.
- Add picture hanging hardware to the back.

Creative JumpStart Meetups in 3 Countries
This post just makes me so happy and giddy 🙂
For Creative JumpStart I had joined together with some stores to organize official Creative JumpStart Meet-Ups. And how cool is that – stores from three different countries participated: in the USA, Canada and The Netherlands. Everyone participating was a Jumper and had signed up for Creative JumpStart 2015 online and the stores provided materials and space to indulge in one of the projects or techniques shown in Creative JumpStart 2015 on a certain day. Here are some fun impressions from those CJS Meet Ups around the globe 🙂

I think this is truly amazing that people around the world are being connected through an online event like Creative JumpStart, create together and even make new friends 🙂 BTW- if you missed out on Creative JumpStart online…you can still sign up & read more about it here.

Read what members are saying!
Maroczy, Topalov, Bogo.
i believe Maroczy is overrated. Not a real proof, just a hunch,
Who do you think is the most underrated player ever? Like before, no silly answers like members of this site, non chess players, etc.
I barely ever read any of the previous comments, I just answer the title.
Well, perhaps we should extend you the same courtesy?
i think i need to explain a little bit why i chose petrosian and stein.
petrosian cautious passive style isnot popular.he made many draws and people like players such as alekhine,tal kasparov as attackers or botvinnik smyslov fischer karpov as positional players
all these players has a lot of fans and broaden our understanding of the game and add something amazing to the game but petrosian?
as korchnoi said:
how the hell can I be Petrosian's second if it makes me sick to watch how he plays?
i think his deep strategic understanding is usually ignored and people dont like his slow motion chess although he was king of chess for 6 years.
kasparov said about petrosian in his book my great predecessors:
My games with the 9th world champion (Tigran Petrosian)broadened my understanding of chess. Had it not been for these two defeats, I would possibly not have reached the top in chess
i also chose stein since he achieved all his great successes inside USSR and never had a chance to take part in candidates matches so he isnot famous but there is no doubt he played chess briliantlly and for a few years he was in top5.
I still dont understand Kasparov reference, he said he beat petrosian because he got the advise from Botvinnik to not pull only one of his balls but both, seriously thats what he said i hope i dont get in trouble
I dont get exactly what he ment by that.
Anyway i really like Petrosians ideas, they are fun in my opinion. To be honest i dont understand why people dont like him..
ALso i dont say why the always talk about Karpovs famous exchange sacrifices, maybe i just got lucky and watched all petrosians games were he sacced the exchange but to me its seems that Petrosian was the king of exchange sacrifices.
I was a bit dissapointed by Stein. YOu know the title of his book master of risk strategy, this sounded so appealing. Because i like risk strategy in other aspects away from chess as well.
But to be honest when i watched Romans videos about Stein i was a bit dissapointed, i hoped Stein style would have been a bit more flashy.

Ankiel's contract has been purchased from Triple-A Memphis and he is scheduled to be in Bench Coach Joe Pettini's familiar uniform number 24 as a starting rightfielder for Thursday night's game against the San Diego Padres. (Pettini will be wearing Ankiel's old number 49.)
Ankiel is expected to see considerable time in right field over incumbent Juan Encarnacion, but is capable of spelling Jim Edmonds in centerfield as well.
The corresponding roster moves were made prior to the game, as Ankiel was added to both the 40-man and 25-man active rosters. Utilityman Scott Spiezio was placed on the restricted list to make room on the 25-man and pitcher Chris Carpenter was moved to the 60-day DL, which does not count against the 40-man limit.
Ankiel, 28, was batting .267 with a Pacific Coast League-leading 32 home runs and a .568 slugging percentage in 102 games in his first season of play at the Triple-A level. He is ranked in a tie for second among PCL RBI leaders with 89 and his 32 home runs are second among all minor league players this season.
The left-hander was the Cardinals second round draft selection (72nd player overall) in the June, 1997 draft. He reached the majors at the age of 20, making nine appearances in 1999, including his Major League debut in a start on August 23, 1999 at Montreal.
Ankiel was 11-7 with a 3.50 ERA in his rookie season of 2000, helping the Cardinals to the postseason, where he developed control problems that eventually led to his decision to retire as a pitcher in March of 2005. Ankiel was 13-10 with a 3.90 ERA in 51 career appearances as a pitcher and he also added two home runs, the last coming on April 26, 2000 vs. Milwaukee's Steve Woodard.
Ankiel spent the 2001-04 seasons between the majors and minors, missing all of 2002 with an elbow injury that led to "Tommy John" ligament replacement surgery in July of 2003. He returned to the majors in 2004 and earned the win in relief on October 1 vs. Milwaukee – his first in the majors since April 8, 2001.
Ankiel played in 15 games for the Cardinals this spring, batting .267 with a home run and six RBI while playing center and right field. He missed all of the 2006 season after suffering a left knee injury in spring training.
In the past, Ankiel has exhausted all of his minor league options so cannot be returned to the minor leagues without first being exposed to waivers. As a result, it appears he will receive a Major League audition for the remainder of this season to help determine his 2008 role.
If enthusiastic fan support can do anything to help make the conclusion of Ankiel's long journey more successful, he is set.

His having gone to Sesame Street headquarters with his situation and not the Sheriff's Department or something made me think he was trying to con his former boyfriend all along.

He was paid off, whether he was lying or not to begin with. So, paid off, not necessarily because Elmo was guilty of having sex with him when he was underage, but simply to stem the media coverage and prevent damage to the Sesame Street brand.

I am not sure what is motivating the Kevin Clash Is Bi troll, my new favorite weirdo DL personality, but surely an actual bisexual would realize that claiming a professional puppeteer (red flag #1) on a kids' show (red flag #2) with a taste for the young'uns (etc.) is not exactly going to shatter any nasty bi stereotypes.

There's A Steady Rain on Broadway, of the theatrical kind. The new play by Keith Huff is opening at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, where it is scheduled to play a strictly limited engagement through December 6. Although Huff is undoubtedly a fine playwright, the fact is that the big draw of this two-person Chicago cop drama is that it features two major movie stars, Hugh Jackman (X-Men, Wolverine, Australia) and Daniel Craig (Casino Royale, Layer Cake, The Golden Compass). Neither are new to the stage. Jackman's big breakout in the theater world was his role as Curly in a London revival of Oklahoma! in the late '90s, and he went on to win a Tony Award for his Broadway debut, the Peter Allen musical The Boy From Oz. Craig, known as the new James Bond on the big screen, did London stage work early in his career and was trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, but A Steady Rain marks his first appearance on Broadway.
