I, too, did not have the instruments ready to play this game, but found another store that sells used ones and got 2 guitars and a microphone and then it was on!!! I was unprepared for how much my family LOVES this game. The kids love it because we parents join in!!! I have not played the other guitar hero/band games, but I understand that the other games are a little harder to play. This one is perfect for a mom and dad who want to join in with their younger ones and sing and play and have a good time!!! LOVE the super-easy setting for our 5-year-old! OK, for me, too, when I don't want to concentrate too much!!! This is just FUN, FUN, FUN. If you are considering this game, like I was, go for it! It is worth the additional cost of the accessories!!!!!
I'm 49 and my son is 8, but we've found quite a few songs to play and enjoy together on LEGO ROCK BAND (Wii). There are a few 70s and 80s classics, but most are newer. It's not hard to figure out why some of these songs are on here; they stick in your brain, like most hits. Pop, rock, punk, alternative, metal, and more are represented. Of the songs you don't already know, many will appeal to you. Story Mode seems a little rambling and repetitious, but it's one way to practice and get better. There's always the mode for playing whatever song you want, and you can slow these songs down as much as 50% in Practice Mode -- and a few of the songs in Expert Mode require it! Just because it's Lego doesn't mean the harder songs and expertise levels have been simplified or dumbed down. My only quibble with Lego Rock Band (aside from the $50 price -- I got it on sale, so thanks, Walmart!) is that it sometimes takes long to load a song. But overall, this has been fun for many weeks, and a good alternative when other Rock Band games threaten to get overly familiar.
My wife and I have played Rockband 2 several times with family and friends. We bought our own Wii and thought Lego Rockband would be a good buy especially since it was only $20. When we got home and started playing it we found the game to be quite fun. Not only are the songs fun to play on the guitar and drums, but the customization of the characters and "band lair" is quite fun too and incentivises you to keep playing for more stuff. I thought it was going to be kinda lame because the songs are a little older, but they are quite fun to play. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone especially for the price. Make sure you have all the stuff already though. Great family game!
This game was on the kids (10 & 8 yrs.old) lists for Christmas. I read the back, but did not see the tiny print with the required drums, microphone and guitar. They opened it, now we are stuck with a game and no way to play it without investing significantly more money. Would not have purchased it if the requirements were clearly listed.
We can't stop playing! We already had Rock Band 2, but there are limited songs that are aimed for a 6-yr-old. I don't have to worry about inappropriate lyrics or album covers on Lego, and she can choose a level she can actually play on without being booed by the crowd. We play as a family for HOURS at a time!
Bought this game for the whole family and everyone enjoys it very much! From the youngest child to the oldest adult, there are songs and different levels for everyone! Would definitely recommend this game if you already own the rock band kit!
From the minute it came out of the box this was a hit with every age group in the family. The songs AND graphics were SO appropriate for all. What fun we all had on Christmas!
I was very disappointed when I bought this and got it home. I saw on the back of the box, where it shows the remote icon and thought I was good to go. So, we load the game and inside the box is a separate piece of paper saying you need all these instruments to play the game. If it is listed on the box, it is listed so small you would need a magnifying glass to read it. What a bummer, because we love the Lego games we have on the PC.
Hard to find these popular games this time of year. Walmart is quite reliable in providing the service. I don't have the time or energy to look from store to store for products, Walmart makes it so easy! The cost is what it is for these type games but I know for the hours of fun its worth it! Finding the right one is exhausting but word of mouth told me this was the one to get! Even the dad was happy that his son received it, so I felt like I really scored on this product!
I'm sure it's my mistake as a new WII customer, but the product did not indicate specific controllers were requried (guitar & microphone) in order to use it. Would have been good to have that information more readily available - we received it from Santa but could not use it. I'll still haven't bought the controllers as we are over budget :). Anything lego is usually great, so I'm not worried about the quality of the product, I just wish the requriements were clear.
I have all of the Guitar Hero games and this is the first Rock Band game I have purchased. I love it. I own 2 Guitar Hero guitar controllers and I have a usb microphone and the 3 of us can play without needing to have the drums too. The characters are so cute and so funny to watch dancing and sing. I recommend this to anyone with youngsters interested in music in any way. My kids are 9 and 6 both girls,
It plays mostly like Rock Band 1 for the Wii so that's OK. It has some easier difficulties for younger kids. Apparently it doesn't include the music store feature so Harmonix screwed the Wii owners on that again. It's fun for the kids but definitely not as challenging for adults as Rock band 2 or Beatles rock band. Some fun songs though so if it's discounted enough pick it up then.
I bought this for my 12 year old daughter for Christmas. She already has Rock Band 2, but this looked like a fun addition to it. She and her friends love it. The songs are different from Rock Band and although it's Lego characters it's certainly not too young. Adults have played with it also and have had fun with it.
My kids love the game and the music selection offered. They have non-stop played the game ever since they got it. The only issue I had was the pick up delivery time of Walmart, since they did have the items in stock at their stores. I did not see why I could not just pick up item and not wait 2+weeks.
All my kids love it - ages 1, 3, and 6. The 6 year old is good enough to do all the instruments. We love the "super easy" feature so the kids can play continuously, even if they're not doing well following along. My husband and I enjoy that our whole family can play it together.
my husband and I love to play this with our three boys, and all can enjoy the game (they are 12, 8, and 5). you don't have to worry about inappropriate words or clothing. well worth it! (of course you have to buy the instruments separately, the game IS only 12$)
I love this game it haves In To Deep,so what,and a lot more.
This game is so much fun. The lego characters are hilarious. The "super easy" setting is awesome for my 8 yr old to get the hang of it. The music is perfect for younger kids. And mom loves playing too - I can't put it down!
This is a fun game, and when purchased on sale, it can be a great value. However the graphics are really blurry and the lyrics are tough to read. Otherwise this game would get 5 stars.
Lego Rock Band is very funny if you watch the cut scenes and movies associated with it. In addition the game is as fun as the rest of the Rock Band games and has a good mix of songs.

Next time, watch the professional riders at the Grand Tours on television. Their bikes do not have relaxed geometries and they can still ride with no hands. You will see this with the domestiques as they fumble around with water bottles, etc.
At the final entrance to Paris, they even drink out of champaign glasses. At other times, riders call up for a small can of Coke and use both hands to pop off the tab.
I was thinking, wouldn't riding hands free be like.... well, like riding a bicycle? Once you learn how you never forget. In my case however, I never learned how to ride hands free weighing more than 200 Lbs. The other factor that might play into it is that both my current bikes are carrying a lot of weight on the handlebars I never had when I was a kid. Lights, trigger shifters, Ergon grips, bar ends, mirrors, computer and a handlebar bag.
Analog man in a digital world.
I also mash when riding hands free, I think it may help because slightly altering the pressure on each pedal can be used to correct minor imbalances... at least that's how it feels. i also need to focus on a point around 20 feet ahead of me, if I focus down towards my wheel I tend to fall.

I ride hands free every day due to it allowing my hand numbness to be controlled. The key to me on many road, touring and MTBs is the frame/fork alignment and headset maintenance, as stated earlier. A check I do that shows frame/fork alignment issues is to hang the bike upside down from two points spaced at your dropouts with string around each wheel. If the fork and frame are not close to in line you can not ride hands free. Having (2) mountain bike that are not straight would not be unusual IME.
Fast forward 3 hours: Got the hybrid together and took it out for a test ride, tried it hands free and was able to do it for a short distance. Didn't want to risk going farther until I have some more seat time on it.

In the early 1980s I lived in West Philadelphia and rode a coaster brake bike that I pulled out of the trash. I would regularly ride that bike no-handed from 3rd St. to 44th. St, down Lombard & over the South St. bridge, never touching the bars.
At the same time I had a Legnano racing bike. I don't remember riding that no-handed! More recently I had a Trek 520 - very difficult to ride no hands. For a real joke, try riding a Brompton no handed!
Then a few years ago I got a Thorn Nomad. Not a feature I'd given any thought to, but I was very happy to discover that I can ride that no-hands pretty much indefinitely. I have had it shimmy a bit with an awkward load, but that is very unusual. I, too, find it very useful to ride no hands now and then on a long ride. I interlock my fingers and stretch them overhead or stretch them behind my back.
I have no trouble at all riding my trike hands free. I just put up the kick stand take off and then let loose of the handle bars.
Maybe the OP did not realign his front wheel correctly with the frame after fixing a flat or something. Riding with no hands is easier than you think and anyone can do it when the wind is calm. Try it with more speed, and try looking further down the road. Balance will greatly improve.
"Racing is licking your opponent's plate clean before starting on your own"

I think some of the difficulty some people have with riding no hands has to do with misunderstanding how a bicycle steers and maintains its stability. You do not steer a bicycle with your handlebars. You steer a bicycle by shifting your weight, and compensating with the handlebars so that the point where the wheels hit the ground is below the center of gravity. If you only turned the handlebars and did nothing else, you would crash because the wheels would steer out from under you. If you push a bike with nobody on it, it will stay up and self-correct to some extent because when the bike leans, the handlebars will swing around to steer the wheels back under the center of gravity, as long as it maintains enough forward momentum to do that. When you ride no hands, you basically let the bike do that and at the same time compensate with your weight so that all the corrections result in going the way you want to go.
Of course, when you think about it that way, it's a horribly complicated thing that sounds like it takes years of practice and lots of talent. But it's really the same kind of correction you make subconsciously all the time just to be able to maintain your balance as a biped while standing, walking, etc. Basically, if you think that you steer by turning the handlebars or that all those corrections are something you have to consciously micromanage, you will have a hard time riding no hands. If you can let the bicycle stabilize itself and correct for it the same way you do when you stand on one foot, it's much easier. So I guess in some cases, it might be in your head.
One of the quickest ways to make a bike impossible to ride with no hands is tightening the headset so that it doesn't swing freely. It's counter-intuitive, because at first you might think that in order to not go all over the place, you need the handlebars to stay pointing straight ahead. But actually that's the opposite of what you need. You need the bars to be able to swing and make minor corrections by themselves. If the headset action is stiff, those corrections are sluggish and and you go all over the place.
The load and the front end geometry do matter, though. I can ride my touring bike with no hands when it's fully loaded, but only if the load is evenly balanced on both sides and only if I keep my weight back. If I lean forward, the front end shimmies. I can ride my commuter bike with no hands with a fair amount of weight in only one pannier, but as you can imagine, I have to lean way off to one side to counterbalance it. On my brevet bike with no hands I can fish around in my saddlebag, take out a jacket and put it on, steer around potholes, grab a bottled beverage and unscrew the lid to take a drink, etc.
I think that on most road bikes, the geometry should allow for a reasonable amount of stability given the weight distribution of most riders. But if the headset is stiff or the cables are routed in such a way that the movement of the bars is in any way impeded, it won't work.
I generally think I'm pretty good at riding no hands - I do it a fair amount without thinking, even doing no-hands trackstands at stoplights on my commuter with one pannier. But I've ridden a fair number of folding bikes with small wheels or upright cruiser bikes that I could not ride with no hands. We have an xtracycle attachment mounted to a MTB frame, and I can't ride that with no hands, whether it's loaded or not, even though otherwise it feels extremely stable to ride.
I'm 60 years old and I have no problems riding hands free, though for some reason I can't do a long track stand like I use to when I was in my 20's, 30's, and 40's.

cody has never done this before..i just started noticing it in the past 2-3 days.. his diet has remained the same.. he recently had yeast infection in his ear that i treated him for.. i put these drops in his ear that the vet gave me and would clean his ear out..recently i believe it came back because i cleaned his ears and pulled some wax build-up out..i have maintained a constant watch on that. but when i come home from work i notice that he has been licking his paws (all 4). there may be a yeast infection on his paws or an allergic reaction of some sort or boredom..but i doubt the last one.. i have witnessed him start to lick and tell him no and he listens.. he is a very good boy, what should i do besides going to the vet.. i feel this is something i could remedy myself.. but i definitely will if it persists.. any ideas? please reply.. thank you

Because your dog has had ear problems and is licking at all of his paws, the most common cause of these type of symtpoms would be atopic dermatiitis (canine allergies).
Unfortunately, most dogs do require steroids and antihistamines to remain comfortable. For some dogs this period is only in the warmer months, but for many it is an all year-round problem. Most of my atopy patients are well-controlled on a drug called Temaril-P, which is a combination of an antihistamine with a small amount of prednisone.
There are other treatment options that do not involve chronic use of steroids. One that is easy to try is a straight course of antihistamines. Different dogs will respond differently to different drugs, so it may be the case that several antihistamines must be tried before the right one is found. The most common ones used are benadryl (diphenhydramine) and chlorpheniramine. Many dogs will not respond to antihistamines alone, and another modality must be added. The most common is to use a special shampoo designed for allergic dogs. Because allergens that affect dogs do so by landing on the dog's skin (instead of being inhaled, as they do in people), the allergies can be decreased with frequent shampooing with an appropriate product, such as Histacalm. Your vet can recommend an appropriate product for you.
Another option is allergy testing, either using a blood profile or intradermal skin testing. With either of these tests, the dog can be evaluated for sensitivity to specific allergens, and then a unique "vaccine" is made for the dog to treat these. The animal is usually given gradually increasing amounts of the allergy serum over the course of many weeks to months. This is called hyposensitization therapy, and has the least side effects of any allergy treatment. This works in about 67% of dogs.
There is a new drug available now for allergic dogs called Atopica. This is designed specifically for veterinary use. It can be very effective, and does not have the negative side effects of using long-term steroids, however, it is also quite expensive. If you are interested in trying this, you should talk to your veterinarian about ordering you some.
I am attaching a client information handout that I use in my practice that discusses atopy in more detail. I hope that you find it useful.

Fracking off in Lancashire (and elsewhere?)
I know this is very late but, it is such significant moment, I feel I must comment on the recent decision of Lancashire County Council to refuse to allow fracking to proceed in their county.
Never mind that their decision was primarily the result of NIMBYism… spurious worries about earth tremors; slightly-less spurious worries about groundwater contamination; and probably-valid worries about methane escaping into overlying aquifers (rather than being sucked out of the ground)… this was a great result for anti-fracking campaigners all around the world.
This decision sets an important precedent that I hope will not be overturned by the inevitable appeal by Cuadrilla; and/or over-ruled by the same national government that has promoted the cause of NIMBYism when it comes to opposing onshore wind turbines and solar farms.
Our supposedly "greenest government ever" could and should therefore be decried as hypocritical if they try and go against the wishes of local people in Lancashire.
Long-standing readers of this blog, written as it is by someone with a geological and hydrogeological background, may recall some of my previous posts on the subject of fracking. However, in a nutshell (or perhaps I should say "in a drill casing"), my opposition to fracking has hardened over time. Initially, my opposition was based on the same logical grounds as that against drilling for oil in the Arctic: Having established that burning fossil fuels is changing our climate, humans should now be trying to stop burning them as soon as possible. Now, however, I am also against it because it has been proven to give rise to methane contamination of groundwater; and because as little as 3% of the gas will actually be recoverable.
Given that China has now announced that it intends to make its carbon emissions peak within 15 years, can the G7 now be shamed into doing the same? We can but hope.
However, I digress from fracking (and Lancashire): In May this year, I was delighted by the appointment of Amber Rudd, as the new Climate Change Minister. This was partly because she is a woman. However, I was mainly pleased because, unlike so many totally ill-qualified, 'sceptical' non-experts — with Degrees in subjects like economics (Lord Lawson), Sociology (Benny Peiser), English (James Delingpole) or Classics (Christopher Monckton) — Amber Rudd accepts that the IPCC is not part of a global conspiracy to foist environmental alarmism upon a credulous world.
Amber Rudd, in common with the vast majority of relevant experts with a history of producing peer-reviewed scientific research, has concluded that the growing disruption to the Earth's climate is being predominantly caused by the burning of fossil fuels in the last 200 years.
The only people now disputing this (as-near-as-science-ever-gets-to) certain fact are those with a vested interest in the perpetuation of the oil industry… and a handful of credulous (or wilfully blind) economists and journalists who perpetuate the myth that the science is uncertain.
Sadly, whether deliberately or otherwise, these very same people have, just as they did for the tobacco industry, succeeded in delaying for decades the effective regulation of an environmentally-damaging product.
That being the case, investment in fossil fuel companies should not only be seen as financially unwise; it should be seen as corporately irresponsible and socially unacceptable. We can but hope.
However, in the UK at least, there is of course the problem of the Energy Gap: The UK is being forced to close down it's 'dirty' (i.e. high carbon intensity) coal-fired power stations. Unfortunately, the mix of low-carbon and renewable sources (i.e. wind, solar, tidal, and nuclear) — which even the fossil fuel executives of 50 years ago thought would have become dominant in the power-generation sector by now — is nowhere near to being in a position to replace coal. This leaves the UK importing huge amounts of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
As a quick aside, I would like to encourage all non-scientific types not to be intimidated by jargon. Take "carbon intensity" as an example. This is merely a reference to the number of carbon atoms in the product being burnt. As such, mining tar sands is 'highest' and burning methane is 'lowest'.
Sadly, however, none of this changes the fact that burning any fossilised carbon increases the total amount of CO2 circulating within the biosphere, which is warming the planet as a result of the basic Laws of Physics. To make matters even worse extra atmospheric CO2 is slowly reducing the pH of seawater, which is making it harder for shellfish of all kinds to live and grow. This is a much more serious problem because they are the only means Nature has for removing excess carbon from the biosphere (by the processes that created the fossil fuels in the first place)…
Getting back to LNG: Clearly, it would be much better if the UK did not have to do this. However, if we accept the science, we do not have the luxury of taking decades to phase-out fossil fuel use.
China is right and the G7 should follow their lead.
As many economists have now pointed out, humanity needs to treat climate change as an existential threat — far more potent than any Earthbound terrorist group — that requires mobilisation of the military-industrial complex to minimise and/or adapt to it. Sadly, far too much of the military-industrial complex is still fighting a rear-guard action to perpetuate its own existence — rather than on trying to safeguard the habitability of planet Earth for future generations.
World-famous film director, James Cameron, might well have cited the ill-fated MS Titanic as an analogy for humanity today. However, I am sure we would all rather that money would be invested in minimising climate change; rather than on constructing Elysium.
We can but hope.
James Delingpole is full of sheet
James Delingpole is the reason that I started blogging four years ago. (If this is news to you, please see Background.) I have therefore been drawn out of blogging hibernation by the fact that James' name features on the winning exhibit of this year's Anglia Ruskin Sustainability Art Prize.
The award-winning piece, by third year BA (Hons) Fine Art student Ian Wolter, is a supposed memorial inscribed with the names of a (hopefully) dying breed of individuals who – entirely illegitimately – claim to be climate change 'sceptics'. That is to say, they claim to be 'sceptical' about the fact that humans are the primary cause of post-Industrial climate change.
Thus, I say "entirely illegitimately" because, as I have often said before, true 'scepticism' is the foundation of modern science: It is the reason modernity emerged from the mysticism of the Earth-centred Universe wherein the Roman Catholic Church attempted to hold back the progress of scientific enquiry.
True scepticism is the willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads you. This is in stark contrast with supposed climate change 'sceptics' who choose to believe in scientific and/or political conspiracy theories – and reject all the evidence that conflicts with their ideological prejudices.
The prize-winning artwork includes the names of many of those that featured in my MA dissertation and my book – and who have featured on this blog (see 'Peddlers of Doubt – monkeys or organ grinders' (20 Feb 2012) and the posts that followed it).
Whereas the third Viscount – and former Lord – Christopher Monckton of Brenchley has described the artwork as a "death threat" , it is simply an optimistic assertion that the days of pseudo scepticism are numbered… As, indeed, was a recent post on the Yale [Unversity] Climate Connections website – entitled 'Climate Warnings: Heard, but not Listened to' (subtitled "With all that climate scientists have cautioned us about over the past three decades, we've forfeited all rights to say 'nobody saw this coming'"), which began as follows:
The trouble is, of course, that these supposed sceptics refuse to accept the validity of any evidence that conflicts with what they want to believe (i.e. that humans are not primarily responsible for ongoing climate disruption): They are like the 'Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil' monkeys.
Twenty-seven years ago, when the world briefly awoke to the threats of global warming and tropical deforestation, scientists could only speculate on what changes might come in the future. Now, one need only look and observe.
The really crazy thing in all of this – and the primary reason for this blog post – is the length James Delingpole has gone to defend the self-confessed ideological basis of his rejection of the fact that climate change is an inevitable consequence of pumping 300 million years-worth off carbon into the atmosphere in about 300 years…
I say James Delingpole is "full of sheet" because of the two full pages that the Daily Mail newspaper allowed to cover with his Watermelon conspiracy theory – that dismisses all those who assert that human-caused climate change is a reality that must be faced as "climate zealots".
Indeed, rather than accepting that the majority of relevantly-qualified scientists might actually be right, he prefers to dismiss them all as part of…
"…[a] powerful climate alarmist establishment — which includes everyone from the UN, Nasa and the Royal Society to the BBC and The Guardian [newspaper]…"
So, as I said, James is a self-confessed conspiracy theorist and – since he also admits to being completely incapable of – and uninterested in – assessing science for himself, I am not going to waste any more time refuting his cognitive dissonance.
You know we're in trouble when…
…The Sunday Telegraph starts advocating polices that will accelerate anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD).
Two days ago, one of Britain's oldest and most-respected broadsheet newspapers decided to shred the last few bits of credibility it might have had by publishing an anonymous editorial piece calling for the Climate Change Act 2008 to be repealed.
I am therefore sorry but, I just had to post this response:
Thank goodness the Sunday Telegraph is not a widely-read newspaper. This kind of advocacy for policies that will accelerate anthropogenic climate disruption is short-sighted to say the least.
If you don't like our countryside being despoiled by windfarms, new sets of National Grid power lines, and new nuclear plants… What you should be advocating is greater subsidies for households that install solar PV panels on their roofs, which will reduce UK demand for centrally-generated electricity of all kinds.
Oh and, by the way, shale gas is not low-carbon intensity: Because of the methane release it involves, it is extremely high-carbon intensity. Now we know we need to reduce our global CO2 emissions and that further delay will mean greater ultimate cost (i.e. Sir John Beddington, today)… the international push to extract shale gas – and all other unconventional hydrocarbons – is completely irrational.
If anyone is curious, the pronouncements of the UK Government's Chief Scientist, Sir John Beddington, to which I referred above, can be seen and heard in this video on the BBC website. This was a fascinating development, coming, as it did, on the same day that the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) announced that it was willing to enter into discussions with the Royal Society – to try and resolve the fact that the two organisations hold diametrically-opposed views regarding the validity of the scientific consensus that ACD is already happening.
This prompted me to send the GWPF's Director, social anthropologist Benny Peiser, the following email:
Dear Dr Peiser,
I note, with genuine interest, your acceptance of the offer by the Royal Society to put the GWPF in touch with mainstream climate scientists.
I note also the public statement by the Sir John Beddington – who says evidence of anthropogenic climate disruption is now unequivocal and further delay in reducing emissions will mean harder and more expensive policy changes in future.
I should therefore be very grateful to know how much longer you think the GWPF is going to continue to insist that the science is uncertain and that calls for action are politically motivated. For example, how long will it be before the GWPF accepts that we need to decarbonise our power generation systems – by implementing a revenue-neutral Fee and Dividend system as proposed by Dr James Hansen and many others.
Yours very sincerely,
Martin Lack

Reality dawns on people ignoring scientists
I would hereby like to draw together two separate pieces of research published last week:
1. Why Climate Deniers Have No Scientific Credibility – In One Pie Chart (Desmogblog); and
2. AP-GfK Poll: Science doubters say world is warming (Associated Press).
Need I say more? Sadly, yes, because – with people like Lord Lawson and Benny Peiser influencing the policy of the current Chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne – reality seems no nearer to dawning on the people with the power to change the way things are done.
The Three Monkeys – Monckton, Foster and Peiser
Why the picture of monkeys?
The short story:
1. Lord Monckton believes Anthropogenic Climate Disruption (ACD) is a myth (i.e. a hoax or a false alarm).
2. Rev. Foster believes that ACD is inconsistent with God's plan for humanity (i.e. as revealed in the Bible).
3. Dr. Peiser presumably believes ACD will go away if he ignores it (i.e. he has not responded to my emails).
The slightly longer story:
I recently sent an email to Lord Monckton (ex-UKIP), Rev Philip Foster (Repeal the Act) and Dr Benny Peiser (GWPF). I thought my email was reasonable and polite, whereas the response I got from Monckton was neither. Both my email and a summary of Monckton's response were posted on this blog last week. However, as I have explained, Monckton was not willing to admit any possibility of his being wrong: Anthropogenic climate disruption is a myth. End of story. Therefore, he appears to be the Hear No Evil monkey. Today, as promised, I will explain why Rev. Foster appears to be the See No Evil monkey; and Dr Peiser appears to be the Speak No Evil monkey.
Rev. Foster is actually a retired Church of England vicar and a published author. He is also, unsurprisingly perhaps, a very nice person. However, just like me, he is not infallible. I have previously tried to engage Rev. Foster in debate regarding the content of his book, While The Earth Endures: Creation, Cosmology and Climate Change. In order to do this, I apologised to him for any offence caused by the humorous title I gave to my factual review of his book on Amazon. However, he will still not even admit that the famously unreproducable 1909 experiment of Professor R. W. Wood (demonstrating that a greenhouse gets hot by preventing convection not by trapping radiation) means that our "greenhouse" analogy is poor: It does prove that atmospheric CO2 cannot trap outgoing long wave radiation. This is just as well really; because Life on Earth would be impossible if CO2 did not do this.
Another favourite tactic of Rev. Foster is to accuse me of what C.S. Lewis called 'Bulverism' (i.e. telling someone they are wrong without first demonstrating why they are wrong). This is a very facile criticism to make; especially if you are in the habit of rejecting as suspicious any evidence that does not confirm to your pre-existing view of reality: If that is the case, this then becomes an entirely self-referential position; a completely impregnable fortress of confirmation bias; and an utterly unfalsifiable argument.
Finally, there is Rev. Foster's theology; as set out in his book and expounded to me in his emails. Although he is clearly not a Young Earth Creationist, I think Rev. Foster is an eternal optimist; because he appears to believe that:
— Ecological scarcity is not possible because the Bible says God has made abundant provision for humans;
— Over-population can't happen because we have been commanded to go forth and multiply; and
— We cannot trash the planet because God won't let us.
I have suggested to him that the history of the Jews as set out in the Old Testament – and indeed the entire history of human civilisation – suggests he may be wrong about these things. Sadly, Rev. Foster doesn't see it that way… He is the See No Evil monkey.
As for Dr Benny Peiser being the Speak No Evil monkey; that's an easy one: He has never responded to any email I have sent him; whether it was addressed to him personally or copied to him. Presumably, like Monckton, he has also chosen to be offended by my use of humour (e.g. in my entirely factual account of his misrepresentation of climate science and scientists). As does Monckton, he presumably also mistakes this for an ad hominem attack. Unfortunately, they are both wrong, because the term is conventionally used when someone attacks the messenger because they cannot falsify the message. However…
I don't need to falsify their messages because they have been falsified already; and
the Laws of Physics cannot be changed by endlessly repeating erroneous ideas.
Sampson and the Temple of Economic Dinosaurs
To mark the first anniversary of this blog, last Friday, I re-posted the first ever item on this blog, which summarised the inspiration for my MA dissertation on climate change scepticism in the UK; and the results of my research into one of the groups studied – namely economists. At the end of the re-posted piece, I said that this (economics and/or "sceptical" economists) was a subject to which I would return this week. This is primarily because the last two of the six pillars of climate change denial are proving the hardest to demolish. For ease of reference, these six pillars are as follows (with their most common sound bytes in brackets):
1. Global warming is not happening (a.k.a. "global warming stopped in 1998").
2. Global warming is not man-made (a.k.a. "the climate has always changed").
3. Global warming is not significant (a.k.a. "less than 1oC after 250 years is no big deal").
4. Global warming is not necessarily bad (a.k.a. "CO2 is plant food").
5. Global warming is not a problem (a.k.a. "we will adapt" / "technology will save us").
6. Global warming is not worth fixing (a.k.a. "we cannot afford to fix it" / "we cannot stop it").
Most of the economists I researched for my MA were associated with the Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA); with the most notable exception being co-Founder of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), Lord Lawson. For those that are interested (and/or not familiar with the early days of this blog), I posted quite a bit in the latter months of 2011 about both the IEA and GWPF and, therefore, do not propose to re-post it all now. However, as intimated at the end of last Friday's post, I would like to draw attention to the list of names on the GWPF's Academic Advisory Council:
Professor David Henderson (IEA economist)
Adrian Berry (Journalist – science)
Sir Samuel Brittan (Journalist – economics)
Sir Ian Byatt (Economist/Civil Servant)
Professor Robert Carter (contrarian Geologist)
Professor Vincent Courtillot (contrarian Geologist)
Professor Freeman Dyson (contrarian Physicist)
Christian Gerondeau (Economist)
Dr Indur Goklany (Economist)
Professor William Happer (contrarian Physicist)
Dr Terence Kealey (Biochemist)
Professor Anthony Kelly (Metallurgist)
Professor Deepak Lal (Economist)
Professor Richard Lindzen (contrarian Physicist)
Professor Ross McKitrick (Economist)
Professor Robert Mendelsohn (Economist)
Professor Sir Alan Peacock (Economist/Civil Servant)
Professor Ian Plimer (contrarian Geologist)
So, of these 18 advisors… 8 are economists, 3 are physicists, 3 are geologists, 2 are journalists, 1 is a biochemist and 1 is a metallurgist. Indeed, Lindzen is the only one who could claim to be anything close to a genuine climate scientist. Furthermore, in defence of my use of the term "contrarian", I would defy anyone to prove that these individuals hold views that are anything other than those of an extreme minority within their respective professions.
Of course, this invites "sceptics" to claim that they are like Galileo but, fortunately, science has moved on from the Middle Ages; and it is no longer controlled by the Church of Rome. Furthermore, the only obscurantist and anti-intellectual entity today is the fossil fuel lobby – which now pays PR firms (such as Hill and Knowlton) to peddle misinformation and perpetuate doubt (just as it did for the tobacco industry).
As has been noted elsewhere on this blog, the GWPF was founded by economist Lord Lawson and social anthropologist Benny Peiser and – as is very clear from the above – it is focussed on economic arguments for inaction. However, along with the IEA, it is beginning to look increasingly anachronistic. Whist other similar think-tanks with an economic focus such as the Adam Smith Institute and the Taxpayers' Alliance have conceded that climate change is happening, the IEA and GWPF continue to stick to the hardcore conspiracy theory that it is a politically-convenient false alarm.
Thankfully, I think the World is moving on and leaving dinosaurs like the IEA and GWPF behind. Most readers will probably be aware by now of the "we will adapt" position statement of Rex Tillerson (CEO of Exxon Mobil). Clearly, Tillerson has conceded defeat on the demolition of Pillars 1 to 4 and, therefore, stands between Pillars 5 and 6 – like the Old Testament anti-hero Sampson – trying desperately to prevent the Temple of Denial from collapsing around him.
This is indeed encouraging but, all the same, I wish that someone like Tillerson could bring himself to see and/or admit that fossil fuels are history; renewable energy is the future and, as such, investment in it should be seen as affirmative action. Of course, as Bill McKibben recently highlighted in Rolling Stone magazine, there is one very good reason why Tillerson cannot do this: Fossil fuel companies are already trading on their future profits from burning all of the Earth's fossil fuels. If they announced tomorrow that they were going to cease all exploration for unconventional sources (deep sea oil, shale gas, and tar sands), their share price would plummet even faster than that of a "rogue institution" such as Standard Chartered Bank.
I would love to be able to wave a magic wand and offer the World a definitive solution; but I can't. All I can say is that I am not comfortable with the idea of gambling the future habitability of planet Earth on our ability to find a way to safely and permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere and artificially lock it away underground. This carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology may well prove essential but, it is simply not acceptable to use CCS as an excuse for not phasing out the use of fossil fuels in all forms of heating, cooling, power and transportation (with the reluctant exception of aviation where no obvious substitute exists).
The phase-out of fossil fuel use (wherever it can be substituted using existing technology) is something G20 Nations agreed to do 3 years ago (in Pittsburgh, PA) and, with every year that passes, the need to act becomes progressively more urgent. Despite the fanciful claims of the "sceptics", it is no longer just supposed "alarmists" like James Hansen that say this: The International Energy Agency agrees; as do economists like Nicholas Stern and William Nordhaus.
Benny Peiser fruitcake
As promised, here is the second of two personal profiles of the founders of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF). Benny Peiser is a social anthropologist who, while at the UK's Liverpool James Moore University, admitted in 2006 that "… the overwhelming majority of climatologists is agreed that the current warming period is mostly due to human impact". However, this admission was only forthcoming after he was forced to retract criticism he had made of research undertaken by Dr Naomi Oreskes in 2004. But how, and why, did he ever get into that mess in the first place?
According to the De-Smog Blog, he has published 3 research papers in peer-reviewed journals; although none of them is related to climate change. Indeed, it cites Peiser himself as having admitted, in an article for the Times Higher Education supplement on 4 September 2008, that "…I'm not a climate scientist and have never claimed to be one… My interest is in how climate change is portrayed as a potential disaster and how we respond to that". Fair enough, but why does he not accept what the majority of climate scientists say is happening? Does he know better; or does he think they are lying to us? Is he a genius; or just another conspiracy theorist?
As I said, Peiser has become notorious for criticising Oreskes for a study, published in the journal Science in 2004, which had surveyed nearly 1000 peer-reviewed abstracts and not found a single one dissenting from the consensus view that climate change is being primarily caused by human activity. Again, as De-Smog Blog records:
"Peiser's 'claim to fame' in the war on climate change science was a 2005 study that he claimed refuted an earlier study by [Oreskes]… Peiser originally stated… that Oreskes was incorrect and that 'in light of the data [he] presented… Science should withdraw Oreskes' study and its results in order to prevent any further damage to the integrity of science'".
The Skeptical Science website (subtitled 'Getting sceptical about global warming scepticism') provides more detail on what Peiser did wrong:
"Benny Peiser repeated Oreskes survey and claimed to have found 34 peer reviewed studies rejecting the consensus. However, an inspection of each of these 34 studies reveals most of them don't reject the consensus at all. The remaining articles in Peiser's list are editorials or letters, not peer-reviewed studies. Peiser has since retracted his criticism of Oreskes survey [saying]: 'Only [a] few abstracts explicitly reject or doubt the AGW… consensus which is why I have publicly withdrawn this point of my critique… I do not think anyone is questioning that we are in a period of global warming. Neither do I doubt that the overwhelming majority of climatologists is agreed that the current warming period is mostly due to human impact" (Peiser as quoted by Skeptical Science).
Despite all of this, as we have seen, Peiser went on to team up with Lord Lawson to co-found the GWPF in 2009 and, although he now leaves others to attack the science, he is still not above repeating the message (albeit subliminal and wrapped up in an psychological context) that AGW is not a problem worth worrying about:
"The global warming hysteria is well and truly over. How do we know? Because all the relevant indicators – polls, news coverage, government u-turns and a manifest lack of interest among policy makers – show a steep and deepening decline in public concern about climate change… Public opinion is the crucial factor that determines whether policy makers advance or abandon contentious policies… Media coverage of climate change has dropped sharply… The public's concern about global warming as a pressing problem is in marked decline not least because of the growing realisation that governments and the international community are ignoring the advice of climate campaigners… [Governments] are assisted in this policy of benign neglect by a public that has largely become habituated to false alarms and is happy to ignore other claims of environmental catastrophe that are today widely disregarded or seen as scare tactics" (Peiser 2011).
Sadly, all of what Peiser says here may be true but, having been forced to admit he was wrong, what is driving him to keep criticising the consensus view of AGW? He is a social anthropologist after all. If he wanted to point out that people should be concerned about AGW, he could do so, but, instead he chooses to attack that consensus. Peiser admits he is not a climate scientist, yet he chooses to doubt the importance of what the majority of climate scientists are telling us. As I said, there are only really two excuses for this: Either he thinks they are wrong, or that they are lying to us. However, he does not claim any expertise, so he must believe that they are over-stating the scale of the problem for political reasons (i.e. the UN/WMO/IPPC conspiracy theory of Fred Singer and Andrew Montford et al).
Furthermore, given that he accepts that some change is occurring, his apparent contentment with a policy of "benign neglect" is therefore either Prometheanism (i.e. the belief that human ingenuity will solve the problem) or Economic Rationalism (i.e. the belief that the problem is not worth the cost of fixing – we will have to adapt). Unfortunately, whichever it is, the tide of scientific opinion is flowing against him: The vast majority of climate scientists (and some social anthropologists like Clive Hamilton) now believe both mitigation and adaptation are rapidly becoming very difficult, precisely because we have spent so long arguing about whether or not we have a problem (e.g. the '4 Degrees and Beyond International Conference' [in Oxford, UK] in September 2009).

Elektrozavodskaya (Electricity Factory) is a Moscow Metro station on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line (blue, No 3). It is one of the most spectacular and better-known stations of the system. Built as part of the third stage of the Moscow Metro and opened on 15 May 1944 during the WWII, the station is one of the iconic symbols of the system, famous for its architectural decoration which is work of architects Vladimir Schuko (who died whilst working on the station's project in 1939) and Vladimir Gelfreich.
Just another station, but I've always heard about the Moscow subway system and it's beautiful station, this picture is an excellent rendition of it. Best wishes from Texas, Michael :)

The Egyptian Army crushing protesters: FIDH is calling for an independent commission of inquiry

12 October 2011
On Sunday, October 9, 2011, as thousands of peaceful demonstrators were marching in downtown Cairo to protest the attack of Coptic Christian church in Merinab village in Aswan on September 30, and calling for an end to the systematic discrimination against Copts by the Egyptian authorities, violent clashes erupted between the protesters and the Egyptian military forces, resulting in 24 deaths and 317 people injured, according to the Ministry of Health.
When the protesters, marching from Shubra neighbourhood, reached Maspero, the state television building, they were attacked by civilians throwing stones at them according to one eyewitness.
Once the protesters reached the Nile corniche towards Maspero, military armoured personnel carriers started to dispatch the crowd with unprecedented brutality.
Videos posted on Twitter and on the Internet, clearly show army tanks repeatedly running through unarmed protesters. Hossam Bahgat, Director of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, counted at least 17 dead bodies in the morgue of the nearby Coptic Hospital. "I saw corpses crushed by military tanks, I saw bodies missing hands and legs, heads twisted away or plastered to the ground" Bahgat said.
Violence continued into the night with clashes between the army and the security forces, mainly the military police and the Presidential Guard (in charge of protecting Maspero building) on the one side, and youth on the other side, hurling rocks at the tanks. FIDH strongly condemns the excessive use of force by the army against mostly peaceful protesters.
FIDH calls upon the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) to open prompt investigations into these killings in order to hold those responsible for such grave human rights violations accountable.
"As these violations seem to have been committed by military forces, and considering that the SCAF have been shielding from accountability since they took over, we are also calling for the establishment of an independent civilian commission of inquiry to look into the same events, so those responsible are identified and prosecuted. Victims' rights to justice and reparation must be upheld", says Souhayr Belhassen, FIDH President.
FIDH also calls on the protesters to maintain their peaceful nature despite any provocation from the authorities.
A most worrisome attitude was that of the Egyptian State Television which aired a message calling on "honorable citizens" to take to the streets to protect the Egyptian army from "the Coptic protesters", thus using sectarian language to incite hatred and civil strife. That call was unfortunately answered by islamists who later joined the army in the attack of protesters, both Christians and Muslims.
FIDH views these statements as clear incitement for sectarian clashes and demands that those responsible for propagating false information that incites violence be held accountable and prosecuted.
In addition, the SCAF continues to crack down on freedom of the press and freedom of expression as the army stormed the office of Al Hurra TV and TV 25 forcing them to end their live transmission covering the events in Maspero, and cut power and telecommunication of Al Shorouk newspaper after it published a video showing the bodies of dead protesters. This clearly shows the intention of the Egyptian army to cover up the crimes that were being perpetrated.
"What happened in Cairo yesterday is a very dangerous development and questions the SCAF ability to conduct a peaceful transition. At a time where the protection of basic fundamental rights, such as freedom of peaceful assembly, freedom of expression, freedom of religion and freedom of association should not be compromised, we are worried that red lines have been crossed which would constitute a major stepback for the demands of the Egyptian revolution", concludes Belhassen.
