Renegade Ops follows an awol group of battle hardened ass kickers trying to stop the end of the world. Your typically case of madman trying to blow up everything we know, and man is he relentless. As you may have guessed the game's story is about as cheesy as they come and is painfully predictable. The game itself is a blast to play but it can be quite irritating at times, namely the physics system. You will roll, flip, get stuck, and bounce around and off of nearly everything. Doesn't sound too bad but it will get you killed and when you have less lives (when playing on Hardcore) and/or are near the end of the level it can get really annoying.
The Meat and Potatoes:
I highly suggest that you play on normal first and build your character up before attempting to play the game on hardcore, but you can choose it from the start if you want. Since you can carry over any character you've already leveled up to any difficulty you want it make live a little bit easier for you. With that being said a lot people are having trouble with their levels and abilities being reset, I got the achievement for maxing out a character, so it can be done.
These achievements are missable: Inferno's Brief's, Supply Problems, From Cold Dead Hands, Jonesing for Relics, A Mess of Stiff Staff Sergeants, and Goody Two Shoes. All these achievements are secondary objectives on certain missions (will be listed below) and are indicated by a black arrow pointing you in the direction to obtain or destroy them. They can be hard to see since some levels you play at night on and the red arrow (primay objectives are indicated by this) will sometimes overlap making it harder to see.
They are all easy to get and all but two of them are on your way to taking primary objectives, so you wouldn't have to go too much out of your way to get them. Keep in mind though that you are timed on everything you do, the timer isn't and won't be displayed until you have 3 mintues left to finish your current primary objective and if you fail a primary you fail the level. Goody Two Shoes will most likely get you a mission failed since you really have to go out of your way to get this one. A Mess of Stiff Staff Sergeants is the other one you'll have to go out of your way to get, but you should have more than enough time to get it.
Oh, one more thing, finishing the primary objectives will disable some of this secondary objectives and will require you to replay the level to get them. I suggest you got for these as soon as you can and on the normal run, since you need to take your time on hardcore.
Since I brought up hardcore, I think the devs really wanted to torment anyone looking to play this game on said difficulty. As I said above you need to take it slow but here's the catch, this difficulty it the key to getting the Alien ranking and the 50x damage achievement.
So in a nutshell, the game can/is a pain to get some achievements but is a lot of fun to play either way you cut it. The largest part of how easy the game can be depends on how good you are, you really have to get used to the controls and what you can and can't get away with. I gave it a 7 out of 10 and am just playing it safe with that, some people may find it harder than that and some may find it easier than that, I'm open for discussion as far as that goes.
Any feedback, tips, or info on the guide or for getting the Mega Kill Combo and Lord Master of Great Skill achievements will be much appreciated. As always, happy hunting.

Airborne 10G
Pilot a helicopter in single player
You'll get this on the first level.
To Hell and Back 10G
Complete Mission 9 on any Difficulty in single player
Just finish the game (since this is the last level) and it's yours.
Goody Two Shoes 15G
Bring 20 Prisoners to the Church in single player
This is the secondary objective for the first level and will either result in you being Johnny on the Spot to prevent failing the mission or fail it in order to get the achievement (which ever comes first). They are indicated by the black arrow and are all over the place, and since you are timed you really have to move your ass to avoid failing the level. You have to do this in one go also.
*Has to completed before destroying the mortars.
Video Link!
A Mess of Stiff Staff Sergeants 15G
Kill Inferno's Sergeants in single player
This is the secondary objective for the second level. All but I think 2 of these guys are on your way to destroying your primary targets. They are indicated by the black arrow and are in lightly armored vehicles, making them easy to kill.
*Has to completed before destroying the commander that tries to escape in the helo.
Video Link!
Jonesing for Relics 15G
Return all the Relics to the Museum in single player
This is the secondary objective to the third level. There are what seems like a ton of these things but all are on your way to primary objective(s). Just pay attention to the black arrow and you shouldn't miss any.
*Has to completed before destroying Inferno's Warbird the second time.
Video Link!
From Cold Dead Hands 15G
Steal all Inferno's Weapon Crates in single player
This is the secondary objective to the fourth level. Like on the first mission you'll be runninjg out to get these and bring them back to the village, but to different places each time. There aren't as many to get this time though. Several are located at different points and a few are grouped together, but they are all in close proximity to one another. Just follow the black arrow while being as quick as you can and you shouldn't have a troubles.
*Has to completed before destroying the APC's that attack the village.
Video Link!
Supply Problems 15G
Destroy all Mining Carts in the Kaabe Mountains in single player
This is the secondary objective to the sixth level. All of these are on your way to the primary objective and you will actually have to do the primary to continue on to get these. Just be mindful of the black arrow and you shouldn't miss any.
*Has to completed before you destroy the wall to get to Natasha in the refinery.
Video Link!
Inferno's Briefs 15G
Steal all the Document Briefs in single player
This is the secondary objective to the eighth level. Like on the third level you just have to get these and there are bunch of them, but they are all on your way to the primary objective. Again, as long as you pay attentionh to the black arrow you won't miss any.
Video Link!
These are all easier to get on normal by the way. Here's a written guide to all these secondary achievements and a walkthrough by mwinter over on GameFront (all credit goes to him/her), check it!
The Daily Grind 20G
Get a character to max level in single player
In order to get this you'll have to get at least one of the four characters to level 45. It sounds like a lot but its quite easy to rank up and you should be around 38 to 40 by the time you finish the game. So, you shouldn't have to grind on it too much. You get experience from destroying enemies and doing primary and secondary objectives. Remember, you can only gain levels by playing on normal or hardcore.
Note that some people are having problems with this, as their characters are resetting themselves once they get around level 35 to 40. I've got it and know of other people getting it so it's not impossible but it is more than likely glitched. You may want to wait for a patch/update or can attempt it at your own risk.

Tough Stuff 20G
Complete all missions on Hardcore Difficulty
Hardcore isn't all that bad really but then again it depends on have good you are. You really have to be on your toes to make this easier. This sounds funny but you are almost impossible to hit if you just drive around in circles, your enemies have a real hard time hitting you. Whether its circles or in a figure eight the point is to keep moving, when you constantly change your direction they can't lock onto you. The upgrades for the machine guns help out a lot and secondary weapons, just make sure you don't die as they reset when you do. You can also hit enemies when they are off screen, just look at your score bar to see if you are hitting anything (since as long as you're hitting an enemy it will count). And remember to take your time or you will die quick, very quick. Two hits from a heavy tank or three from anything that fires a rocket and you're dead. Use caution instead of charging into an area. And stay well away from anything that spits fire.
I'm not going to say which character is best for the job since that depends on how you like to play the game, I'll just say I went with Armand. I find his shield ability to be almost invaluable, it's handy when you need to get away and the Rebound tactic makes tanks and rockets work for you. I've been using him with the Second Chance, Harden Hull, Rebound, and Efficiency-Elite abilities.
Each character comes with their own set of special abilities. So whether you use Diz's EMP, Armand's Shield, Roxy's Air Strike, or Gunnar's Heavy Gun depends entirely on how you like to crush your foes. You'll just have mix and match their offensive and defensive abilities to what works best for you.
Here's a glitch that will prove useful thanks to Insaniac85:
*This may have been patched with the update, so try at your own risk*

Lord Master of Great Skill 30G
Get "Skill Level - Alien" in single player
After getting this I can confirm that you only have to score two to three times more amount of damage than you receive. Your score, damage streaks, and time don't matter what so ever. I got this on level six with a score of about 3.3 million, died once, and no streak above 13 while going as slow as possible. Six is a prefect level to get this on, there are a number of heavy tanks that can easily be hit on the edge of or off screen. Just take your time a try to do the same to as many enemies (killing them off screen) as you can or get them to chase you and kill them while fleeing. It's amazingly easy to get once you know the trick. This has to be done on the hardcore setting as well.
I found some tips for getting this over on the ps3trophies.org site and the credit goes to them not me.

I played Mission 6 (The Cauldron) on Hardcore Difficulty with the Diz character. Upgrades were: Defense:Hardened Hull, Tactics: Static Shock-Elite & Efficiency-Elite & Super Charged.
Just kept pushing forward and using EMP every time there was some tanks or rocket vehicles. Got a 54 kill streak in there too. I lost my streak after 54, but still got a few more streaks over 20.
I did it without loosing a single life. If you watch out for rockets you will be able to survive it easly.
Also got Alien rank on Missions 8 and 9, so I'm sure that with some practice it can be achieved in all missions without a problem.
Also funny thing happened to me at the last boss fight. We doubled KO each other and the game completed for me. I got the trophy Tough Stuff and Alien rank but on scoreboard it was GAME OVER and 0 score.

I don't think the kill streak affects it, just how much damage you do and take, so score is probally not a deciding factor.
Lost one life, almost two, and no kill streak over 25 ~ but still got Alien rank on it!
Also did Mission 2 with Superhuman rank trying the same tactic (go for damage whilst taking the minimum possible). Didnt loose a life there but don't think I killed enough for Alien.
Mega Kill Combo 20G
Get a 50x Damage Streak in single player
In order to get this one you are going to have to play on hardcore. You'll have to score 50 kills in roll while not letting the damage streak bar fall (bottom right of the screen) and be as quick about it as you can. Sounds hard but as long as you are putting shots on a target it won't decrease as quick or run out. Its best to try this on levels where enemies and/or groups are in a closer proximity to one another.
Okay, finally got this. I think the best level for it and the one I got it on is level 3. When taking out the SAM sites (shortly after the secondary objective becomes active). I got a 60x streak, so you more than easily can get it there. Diz really seems to be the key to getting this with her EMP and easier controls. Went with the Hardened Hull, Stasis Shock-Elite, Efficiency-Elite, and the Turbo Boost (a must if you want this achievement).
Here's some great advice by heatDrive88 on how to get this achievement:
*Check below for the full post, don't have enough room for the entire thing*
The easiest place to get a 50x damage streak is on Mission 2, when you have to take on the quest of taking down the mortars.
1) Before you enter the first area of enemies at the left-most mortar, make sure you take a look at the map and mentally note the quickest and most efficient path to reach one sub-area to the next. As you progress halfway through while clearing to the right, there's a jump you can take off a cliff which will help get you to the next sub-area faster.
2) Most obviously, go in with your machine gun at the max level of 3, and bring either rockets or the railgun for your secondary weapon. Homing rockets could help so you don't have to try so hard at aiming, but it's not necessary. Don't use a flamer as it will take too long to kill enemies, and the shorter distance is not helpful.
3) Take the Nitro-Boost ability with you at the beginning before the mission starts. These short boosts will help you get from sub-area to sub-area much faster. Just be careful with it and try to only use it on a straightaway, as one wrong boost at a turn or a twisting jump will send you flying, most likely not in the direction you want to go or into the trees which will possibly end up with you being flipped over. If this happens, you're going to get screwed over and the damage streak timer will run out, and you'll likely need to start the mission all over again.
4) Every entrance/exit from each sub-area to another where will have 1 or 2 bunker towers at them, which will only fire weak gunfire bursts at you. As you exit from one sub-area to another, try to shoot and destroy the bunker tower as you are driving away and leaving from the sub-area to the next. This will keep your damage streak timer as high as possible to give you more time to travel from one sub-area to the next. Be sure to also prepare for the inevitable bunker tower as you approach each new sub-area, and begin firing on it immediately when it enters your view to keep the damage streak going.
5) Don't waste time picking up health unless you absolutely need it. The last thing you need to do is let your damage streak timer run off while you attempt to pick up items or shoot at things that won't keep your damage streak going. If you're in the red on health, then of course, try to pick it up as quickly as possible, but just don't take too long as time is definitely a factor.
6) Lastly, don't be afraid to use your railgun or rockets on the enemy, or your special ability. Some people get gun-shy with them, but if you chose the loadout that I recommended, they will regenerate fast enough that you can use your rockets or railgun on every missile truck enemy you run into, and possibly more. Getting hit by an enemy rocket can devastate you health, so you need to dispose of those missile truck enemies quickly and efficiently. If you die partway through your damage streak attempt, you will most definitely have to start the mission over again for another attempt.

Actually, playing this on PS3, but the trophies weren't popping up. Thought it was because of difficulty, but singleplayer.
Thanks again.

Jeremy and Piers Corbyn – 'Brothers at Odds'
Here in the UK, the Labour Party has, almost by accident, just voted in the most overtly and unashamedly socialist leader since Michael Foot over 30 years ago. As such, 66-year old Jeremy Corbyn, has already managed to upset many people by not singing the National Anthem at a service in St Paul's Cathedral to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Britain.
So, Jeremy Corbyn may have a lot to learn (very quickly) about being Leader of a political party; and it will be interesting to see whether he can hold such office and stay true to the anti-establishment character that defines him. As such, Jeremy Corbyn is the latest in a long line of people within the Labour Party who often managed to make controversial ideas sound entirely reasonable. In recent decades, those that come to mind include Michael Foot, Tony Benn, Tam Dalyell, George Galloway, and Dennis Skinner. Furthermore, as became clear during the leadership contest, Jeremy Corbyn accepts the reality of anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD); and the need to take action to mitigate it and/or adapt to it. As do Paul and Anne Ehrlich:
Many complexities plague the estimation of the precise threats of anthropogenic climate disruption, ranging from heat deaths and spread of tropical diseases to sea-level rise, crop failures and violent storms. One key to avoiding a global collapse, and thus an area requiring great effort and caution is avoiding climate-related mass famines. (Proc. Royal Soc. B, 280: 1754)
I must admit I had not really paid any attention to Jeremy Corbyn before. However, I cannot say the same of his brother, Piers Corbyn – who came to my attention while doing my MA in Environmental Politics: According to Wikipedia, Piers Corbyn is an astrophysicist with a life-long interest in meteorology. He is also the founder of WeatherAction and was the main organiser of Climate Fools Day in the Houses of Parliament on 27 October 2010 (to mark the 2nd anniversary of the passage into law of the Climate Change Act 2008).
As such, it is very clear that the views of Jeremy and Piers Corbyn – as to the primary cause of climate change – could not be more different.
The purpose of this blog is not – nor has it ever been – to defend the validity of the scientific consensus (that ACD is an imminent threat to a large proportion of life on Earth). I will leave that to the IPCC (WG2) and websites such as SkepticalScience. However, I would like to highlight the absurdity of the position adopted by Piers Corbyn…
In 2008, the flyer for the Climate Fools Day event highlighted a supposed necessity for "evidence-based science and policy" rather than the "Carbon Con". It went on to suggest:
If the UK had been relying on wind farms there would have been blackouts all over, freeze-ups, more burst-pipes & cold-weather deaths. This is the madness CO2-Global Warmist religion is leading Britain towards.
As such, anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is presented as a myth; not based on evidence, and pursued by politicians who have been duped by the proponents of a new religion. On his website, Piers Corbyn also describes AGW as a "failing theory" and "scientific fraud" (because it supposedly stopped in 1998); maintains it was warmer 1000 years ago; and has made it clear he believes our Sun is the most likely cause of the climatic changes we see (2008). However, more recently, he has gone much further than this; to claim that:
• solar activity (total radiance, sun-spots, coronal mass ejections, and/or solar flares) are causing more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions;
• people who believe in AGW are as deluded as Colonel Gaddafi; CO2 has no effect on weather or climate (emphasis added); and that we are heading for a mini ice age by 2035; and
• there is no evidence in thousands or millions of years of data that CO2 changes drive any changes in climate.
If anyone is inclined to ask why this position is absurd, just think about the implications:
Anyone who equates the scientific consensus regarding ACD/AGW with religious belief, collective hypnosis, hoax, fraud, myth, or whatever… is asserting that the vast majority of relevantly-qualified and active research scientists are simply wrong. As such, they are asserting that the majority are either stupid, sloppy, or suspicious.
Such people often point to the example of Galileo overturning a consensus. However, Galileo overturned theological orthodoxy by weight of scientific evidence. Therefore, climate change 'sceptics' are not like Galileo; they are like the medieval Roman Catholic church. As such, they are not sceptics at all; they are blinded to the truth of science by libertarian ideology.
Occam's Razor works for me!
'The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches From The Front Line' by Dr Michael Mann, Professor of Meteorology at Pennsylvania State University, was recently published in paperback. I decided to purchase a copy. Here is my review of the book, as published on amazon.com.
In the opening chapters of this book, Michael Mann repeatedly makes it clear that, as a physicist, his interest in palaeoclimatology was entirely natural. That is to say, he did not approach the evidence for climate change with any prejudicial notion of what he wanted to find, least of all to prove that ongoing climate change is predominantly human-caused.
Those who are suspicious of Michael Mann's motives will no doubt respond:
"Well, he would say that, wouldn't he!
However, all readers of this book will, sooner or later, have to decide where they stand on the question of the validity of 'Occam's Razor'. This is the logical supposition that, among competing hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be selected. With regard to climate science, I have to say, it works for me: Either this book is an unashamed piece of propaganda and, from the very start, is deeply disingenuous; or it is the honest account of a very humble physicist who, completely unwittingly, became the focus of the biggest industry-funded misinformation campaign of modern times.
Having read both this book and Andrew Montford's 'Hockey Stick Illusion', I should like to propose that, even if you have not done so, you have the following choice: Do you put your trust in an authoritative argument from a genuine expert (Mann) or do you want to believe the conspiracy theory put forward by a non-expert (Montford)?
Put it another way, are you going to believe that climate scientists are over-stating a problem in order to perpetuate the funding of their research; or are you willing to accept that business leaders are down-playing a problem in order to perpetuate the viability of their business?
If you are undecided, the following facts may help you:
(1) There is no significant precedent for research scientists over-stating environmental problems – nor any evidence (that has not been examined and found to be groundless) that climate scientists are doing this or have done this at any time in the last twenty years.
(2) There is a very significant precedent for business leaders (in the tobacco industry) down-playing environmental problems – and a great deal of evidence that this is exactly what fossil fuel executives have been doing for at least the last 20 to 50 years.
In the opening chapters of this book I was particularly impressed by the following argument (attributed to Stephen Schneider): We do not buy home insurance because we think our house may burn down. We buy it because that very unlikely event will be catastrophic… Applied to the issue of anthropogenic climate disruption, humanity's continuing failure to take out insurance against an increasing probable catastrophic outcome does indeed seem "crazy"… Unless of course, you prefer to believe the ideologically prejudiced opinions of other genuine non-experts like Senator James Inhoffe, who would have us all believe that anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD) is a false alarm.
If, after reading this book, you still think ACD is a false alarm, I suggest you cancel your fire insurance – you're wasting your money – it's never going to happen.
Nice website, shame about the ideological blindness
A blogger friend of mine who subscribes to NaturalNews.com sent me the a link to an article on it, entitled 'Global warming computer models collapse; Arctic ice sheets rapidly expand as planet plunges into global cooling' , challenging me to find the scientific flaws in it.
Sadly, this was very easy: There is no valid science in the article, which is written by Mike Adams, who… "is an award-winning journalist and holistic nutritionist with a passion for sharing empowering information to help improve personal and planetary health…" (i.e. he is not a scientist).
Indeed, upon reading the article and doing some investigation of its sources (etc), it quickly became apparent that the article is, in fact, just a regurgitation of misinformation posted by scientifically-illiterate journalists in the Mail on Sunday (David Rose) and Sunday Telegraph (Hayley Dixon). ***Update – Apparently 'Hayley Dixon' IS David Rose (see first comment posted below)***
Dana Nuccitelli, author of a number of peer-reviewed articles on the scientific basis for concern about human-caused climate change, has done two good demolition jobs on these articles: (1) briefly (on both) on the Guardian website; and (2) in more detail (on David Rose) on the SkepticalScience website:
(1) – Arctic sea ice delusions strike the Mail on Sunday and Telegraph
(2) – Arctic sea-ice 'growth', a manufactured IPCC 'crisis' and more: David Rose is at it again
However, for the record, this is my response to the (un)original article by Mike Adams:
The flaw in the article is that it is full of statements of opinion dressed up as fact; and that those opinions can only be justified by dismissing the consensus view of our predicament as a political and/or scientific conspiracy. Indeed, this article is quite remarkable in that it manages to include just about every 'sceptical' argument I have ever heard. All of which are answered on sites like SkepticalScience/Arguments.
The problem, of course, is that if you are a conspiracy theorist, any source of information that conflicts with your beliefs is automatically rejected as being part of the conspiracy. If so, how do I know that it is not me that is the conspiracy theorist? That is simple: My beliefs are not just my beliefs; they reflect the settled view of the vast majority of relevant experts based on an examination of all of the evidence.
Therefore, unlike the erroneous consensus that the Earth is flat that was overturned by the weight of conflicting evidence, the consensus that humans are the primary cause of climate change will never be overturned by people like Mike Adams who cherry-pick the only data capable of justifying an alternative view.
To dismiss the vast majority of experts as stupid, mistaken, or deceitful, is not just conspiracy theory; it is also highly improbable. As I have now said many times, it is more likely that the Moon Landings were faked and/or that 9/11 was an inside job.
Clearly, people like Mike Adams (who has chosen very unwisely to live in Tuscon, AZ – one of the World's most unsustainable cities) are perfectly at liberty to choose to believe conspiracy theories rather than accept science. However, in doing so, the vast majority of the evidence suggests that they are being ideologically blinded to the intellectual dishonesty required to make that decision: The decision not to follow the evidence to the fully justifiable conclusion that humans are primarily responsible for what is happening to our planet and need to modify their behaviour accordingly.
Resources are not infinite, and perpetual growth in consumption of any resource is therefore ultimately impossible. Fossil fuels will run out one day and we therefore need to plan for a World without them. However, now that we know burning them is endangering the climatic stability that made all life on Earth possible (i.e. the settled view of the vast majority of scientists), we need to phase out fossil fuel use wherever possible; and as fast as possible.
If we do not plan for this transition (to a fossil fuel-free future), it will happen anyway (and be a lot more abrupt, costly, and unpleasant). Therefore, as someone once said, "Failing to plan is tantamount to planning to fail!"
To mark Australia's return to the anti-science wilderness!
It looks like Australia is just about to elect the most anti-science government outside of North America: 'Tony Abbott to win Australian election, final polls show' (i.e. on UK's Telegraph website).
To mark this latest 'victory' for those duped by conspiracy theory explanations for climate science in particular (and the stupidity of libertarian ideological blindness in general), I have decided to reproduce below my response to my most recent reality-challenged follower, called 'freedomfan', who has suggested that Richard Lindzen's beliefs are a good reason to think humanity is not sleepwalking into an environmental catastrophe.
Richard Lindzen may be a meteorologist but he is not well-respected. He shredded his scientific credibility a long time ago as a result of being willing to appear as an expert witness for tobacco companies trying to dispute the reality of inconvenient science. Sadly, he learnt nothing from doing this and has repeated his mistake with the fossil fuel industry.
For someone who is gambling the future habitability on low climate sensitivity (when every time the issue is revisited the consensus view is that Lindzen is wrong), you seem remarkably confident in your own wishful thinking. This seems even more ill-judged when you consider that the International Monetary Fund, the International Energy Agency and the US Department of Defense all agree that anthropogenic climate disruption is happening; and that it is significant, bad, and worth preventing. Are they all in on the conspiracy to perpetuate scientific research funding; and/or justify higher taxes and authoritarian government? Quite frankly, it is more likely that the Moon Landings were faked (e.g. that flag was blowing in a breeze after all, right?).
If there is no positive feedback mechanism (and/or massive inertia in the climate system), why have the glaciers, ice caps, ice shelves and sea ice all continued to melt? If there is no positive feedback mechanism, why is the Keeling Curve a curve (rather than a straight line)? Positive feedback mechanisms are everywhere in Nature (very few things are linear); because Nature is biological – and we are part of it.
Here are 10 positive feedback mechanisms, which Guy McPherson has identified, that all need to be "disappeared" before your ambivalence towards the veracity of climate science becomes anywhere near being anything other than ideological blindness:
– Methane hydrates are bubbling out the Arctic Ocean.
– Warm Atlantic water is defrosting the Arctic Ocean.
– Siberian methane vents are increasing in size.
– Amazonian drought/fires released more CO2 than USA in 2010.
– Peat decomposition in boreal forests is accelerating.
– Methane is now being released from seabed in the Antarctic.
– Wildfires are increasing in frequency and scale.
– Increased CO2 is accelerating glacier disintegration.
– Exposure to sunlight is accelerating the thawing of the permafrost.
– Arctic drilling is being fast-tracked by Western governments.

Anyone in any doubt about Lindzen, should read the large number of posts on this blog in the 'Lindzengate' category. However, anyone in a hurry should start with: Lindzen is either negligent, incompetent, or deceitful (6 July 2012).
How NOT to be sceptical
In the process of compiling my previous post, I was reminded of this one; and decided it warranted being re-posted in its own right… Originally posted on 7 September 2011, as How to be a climate change "sceptic", this is probably (even if I do say so myself) one of the best things I have ever written here (because it neatly summarises the raison d'etre of this blog).
If I have not said it before, the reason sceptic is inside quotation marks is because I take the view, as do Clive Hamilton, Peter Jacques, and David MacKay, that those who deny anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD) are not sceptics at all.
As a consequence of this, my (MA in Environmental Politics) dissertation (researching climate change scepticism in the UK) included a threefold theoretical background, as summarised (on my old blog) as follows:
1. The philosophical roots of scepticism;
2. The political misuse of scepticism; and
3. The psychology of denial.
All of this leads me to offer readers this easy-to-use guide on "How to be a climate change 'sceptic'", as follows:
1. Assume everything you have been told by authority figures is a lie.
2. Assume, even though you are not an expert, that you know best.
3. Allow confirmation bias to prevent you from considering any information that might alert you to the fact that you are suffering from cognitive dissonance (i.e. "It is hard to convey just how selective you have to be to dismiss the evidence for climate change. You must climb over a mountain of evidence to pick up a crumb: a crumb which then disintegrates in your palm. You must ignore an entire canon of science, the statements of the world's most eminent scientific institutions, and thousands of papers published in the foremost scientific journals…" – George Monbiot, 10 May 2005).
4. Continue asserting your individual human rights whilst simultaneously ignoring your collective human responsibilities.
5. Maintain a utilitarian attitude to the environment (i.e. "use it up and wear it out") despite mounting evidence to indicate that the ecological carrying capacity of planet Earth (w.r.t. humans at least) has already been exceeded.
6. Accuse anyone who asserts that there is cause for concern and/or an urgent need for radical action to mitigate humanity's impact on the planet as being any or all of the following:- anti-human, anti-libertarian, anti-progress, anti-Western, and/or in favour of a new global socialist world government ("which is what the UN is all about, init!").
In his book, "Bad Science", Ben Goldacre says that proponents of pseudoscience have succeeded in making people think science is impenetrable. However, the truth may be even more insidious because, by awakening people to the fact that they are regularly being lied to, these peddlers of pseudoscience have in fact contributed to – if not caused – a much more widespread distrust of science and all scientific authority.
Therefore, I would humlby suggest that claiming that humanity is not the cause of climate change is even more stupid – and even more dangerous – than claiming (as did Thabo Mbeki for a long time) that HIV is not the cause of AIDS.
The graphical nature of reality
In response to demand (and comments submitted), here is yesterday's post in graphical form:
Questioning the reality, reliability, or reasonableness of the consensus understanding of atmospheric physics (i.e. that post-1850 warming cannot be explained unless 40% extra atmospheric CO2 is the main driver) can only be justified by believing that the majority of climate scientists are either stupid, mistaken or corrupt.
Past performance is not a predictor of future results
As it says on my About page, "The driver of an accelerating car about to hit a brick wall might well say 'so far so good' – but that does not mean that the wall is not there!" — John Dryzek (2005: 70).
This is the almost-ubiquitous advice of stockbrokers but, sadly, it is almost universally ignored.
As ccgwebmaster recently observed wryly in a comment on this very blog:
I have never died before. Does this mean I can presume upon my immortality?
I would therefore like to take this opportunity to make a few suggestions to all those who think concern for the environment is a false alarm, a new religion, or an excuse to curtail your freedom or tax you more heavily:
1. Grow up.
2. Go back to school.
3. Open your eyes and look out the window.
4. Stop cherry-picking data that reinforces your prejudice.
5. Stop ignoring all the data that contradicts your misperception of reality.
6. Read this Wikipedia article on the New World Order – it might just open up your mind.
7. Read this Skeptical Science article on the History of Climate Science – it might just resolve your confusion.

Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from mouse and rat brain tissue using RhoB Antibody.
Rho family small GTPases, including Rho, Rac and cdc42, act as molecular switches, regulating processes such as cell migration, adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. They are activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), which catalyze the exchange of bound GDP for GTP, and inhibited by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs), which catalyze the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP. A third level of regulation is provided by the stoichiometric binding of Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor (RhoGDI) (1). RhoA, RhoB and RhoC are highly homologous, but appear to have divergent biological functions. Carboxy-terminal modifications and differences in subcellular localization allow these three proteins to respond to and act on distinct signaling molecules (2,3).
RhoB functions in the regulation of cell shape, migration and adhesion (4). RhoB activity has also been shown to play a role in protein trafficking (5,6) and in CXCR2-mediated chemotaxis (6). Inhibition of RhoB activity downstream of PKCι influences the degree of invasion and migration by glioblastoma cells (7), and RhoB expression has a negative affect on tumor growth in ovarian cancer (8).

Having a star actor-filmmaker like Aamir Khan as her husband doesn't give Kiran Rao reason enough to either cast him in a movie or compete with him at the box office. The "Dhobi Ghat" director will be content if "different kinds" of movies can co-exist with the "changing" star system in filmdom.
"I don't think I will ever be able to give competition to Aamir. Different kinds of films don't need to compete," Kiran, who had teamed up with Aamir in her directorial debut, told IANS.
Aamir is known as one of the biggest commercial stars in tinsel town, with blockbusters like "Taare Zameen Par", "Ghajini" and "3 Idiots" to his credit. He is popular as the man with a Midas touch and this was evident when he presented non-commercial comic satire "PEEPLI [Live]", which emerged as a major commercial hit of 2010.
Kiran, who has Aamir's constant support, isn't too much into calculating the box-office figures, but believes that when "some films earn Rs.100 crore, it's good for small films like ours (mine), because it strengthens the industry and more money comes in."
She doesn't feel her movies and Aamir's films are "necessarily competitive".
"I only hope that everybody continues to make different kinds of films," added the filmmaker, who is inclined towards non-commercial and offbeat scripts.
She is glad the star system in the Hindi film industry is changing.
She feels that it will still take time, but "(now) people don't necessarily go (to cinemas) because there is a star in the film. I don't think the star system, which existed 15 to 20 years ago, still exists."
After working with Aamir, one of Bollywood's top four Khans - the others being Shah Rukh, Salman and Saif - in "Dhobi Ghat", does she plan to cast him in a commercial project in the near future?
"I don't," she replied promptly, adding: "Because I do cinema that excites me. I don't even watch many huge films. I don't go to the cinema every weekend. I watch selective cinema and want to make my kind of films. I don't judge cinema on its box-office success.
"I would never make a film because I think it's going to be a box-office success. I don't know if I have it in me to make a 'Dhoom' or 'Dabangg'. But never say never, I can't say no, but it's unlikely."
Incidentally, Aamir stars as the antagonist in "Dhoom 3"!
Kiran and Aamir married in 2005. Together they raise a son named Azad, born through a surrogate mother.
These days, Kiran is busy promoting Anand Gandhi's "Ship Of Theseus", which she is presenting. A critically acclaimed film at international film festivals, "Ship of Theseus" is releasing July 19.
The movie is about human values and features three characters - an experimental photographer, an ailing intellectual monk and a stock broker.
She admitted a film like "Ship of Theseus" is not for the box office. "It's so small, such an unusual, challenging film to make. You would not be able to compare it with a commercial film."
"The box office in an arthouse film is always going to be small. We have to face this and overcome this. So, we overcome that by keeping the marketing cost low," she added.
Kiran didn't deny that movies which click at film festivals don't necessarily mint money well at the box office. She says "it's not a myth".
"Films that go to festivals are made with a different style and different cinematic language, which often the mainstream audience is not used to," she said.

As the days get shorter, lights and wipers play a major role in safe driving, as the chance of an accident increases if you can't see or be seen. With fewer daylight hours in fall and winter, it's important to make sure your vehicle's lights and wipers are working properly so your visibility is not compromised and you can be seen by others. From the driver's seat, you may not notice a light that isn't working, so inspect all of your car's lights and replace those that are out. Also, inspect and replace wiper blades so you can see clearly when wet weather hits.
Lights are normal wear items that require periodic inspection and replacement. The lighting system provides nighttime visibility; signals and alerts other drivers; and supplies light for viewing instruments and the vehicle's interior. In addition to replacing dimming, rapidly blinking and non-functioning lights, the following tips can help keep you safe.
•Keep headlights, tail lights and signal lights clean. External dirt and debris can dim operational lights from being seen by others.
•Make sure that your headlights are properly aimed. Misaimed headlights blind other drivers and reduce your ability to see the road.
•If there is any doubt on whether or not your headlights should be on, turn them on. Lights not only help you see better in early twilight, they also make it easier for other drivers to see you.
•Don't overdrive your headlights; you should be able to stop inside the illuminated area, otherwise you are creating a blind crash area in front of your vehicle.
The wiper system keeps excessive water, snow and dirt from building up on the windshield, maintaining clear visibility. Many factors can accelerate the replacement interval of wipers, including operating conditions (winter conditions are tough on wiper blades), frequency of use, material and type of wipers and sunny weather. In fact, wiper blades can deteriorate faster and need more frequent replacement in desert states. Don't forget to check the rear window wiper blade too!

Okay, just a couple of challenge ideas that popped into my head
1: 'Mono nature' challenge
-Here's how this one will work; you have to complete any pkmn game using pokemon of one nature only. The person who comment's under you choses that nature, based on what they think of your personality (profile, signature, comments etc). Also, just to make it slightly more fun, you can only catch pokemon that slightly resemble that nature; ie if you get 'rash' you could have a primape or weaville, but not a alakazam or slaking.
2: The currently unamed challenge (gym swap or something?)
-This one's gonna be difficult to explain, so sorry if you can't tell what I'm saying. Each time you defeat a gym, you have to change you pokemon to ones you catch after it. Example: On Firered, you have your starter and a butterfree when you defeat Brock. You need to go to the next route out of Pewter, catch some pokemon, deposit the butterfree and starter, and use those. The rules would be no legendaries, no cheating (it's really not needed) you can't go out of a city with a gym leader to a city you haven't been to yet; ie you can't leave Cerulean and go to Vermillion until you bet Misty; and you can't catch pokemon in previous routes once you've bet the gym leader.
Why can't I do them: First one needs work, I can't explain the second one without a huge lecture; time constraints, I probably wouldn't finish; and I don't think I'd be the best person for looking after a thread.

Heading into its third weekend, the wuss count at Scandia's haunted house stands at 159, according to the staff at the Ontario amusement park.
That figure represents a substantial leap from opening weekend, when Scandia counted 58 wusses.
Scandia defines a wuss as a person who buys a ticket to the haunted house and then chickens out before getting all the way through it.
The attraction is open on Fridays and Saturdays.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by ddmrko
ddmrko's Raw Review:
So Edge has formed a faction, intresting choice of superstars and he got interrupted, should have went longer. Anyways, Masters defeats RVD and even though he does, here comes Flair, Carlito, and Mercury. Of course we know Flair won't win but his promo could have went longer too.
Intresting promo, certainly makes me start to wonder right now if Vince will name Shane GM. Little bit short for my liking but anyways, got the whole point across. Hopefully you end this DX thing soon because it's taking off like the real life one.
Expected Umaga to take the win of course as his push continues with a win tonight over Snitsky. Anyways, Umaga is going to need something to do other than squash people. Otherwise his character is just going to start get old and stale.
Intresting promo, maybe a little short for my liking but looks like there is some dissension now between D-X. Or maybe they could just be doing this to trick the McMahon's. Who knows! It's D-X and that tells you right there that they could be pulling our legs.
Orton's promo was meh, couldn't really get into it all and the mentioning of wrestling internet columnists hurt it. Never would Vince let him mention them on TV at all. Otherwise, Orton was just in there to fill time and add simply another promo.
Guessing the monster is Abyss with James Mitchell and the sidewalk slam plus the steel chain. Heidenreich, guess Bearer is managing him now and you might need to clear me up on this storyline. Because right now I'm pretty confused on this.
Two athletic competitors face off and Kenny got the win, nice to see that but guess this was just a filler. Anyways, D-X continues to break apart continously and now Kenny vs HBK, guess we were going to see Kenny vs HHH of course but we're not now.
Too short of a promo, liked though Shane being named the General Manager and then quitting on his dad. Guess Vince will be naming himself GM. Anyways, D-X seems to continue to seperate themselves, maybe we've seen too much of them tonight though.
The promos are too little and too rushed. Cena isn't the greatest person to do a promo with but you could have made it longer. Otherwise nothing came out of it at all. We've got Cena vs Orton next and a longer promo would have hyped it more.
Cena surely took a hell of a beating and the RKO onto the chair certainly didn't help that matter at all. Rematch is certainly coming here most likely coming for SummerSlam. I'd like to see these two even though it's been way overbooked on btb here at WEF.
Well, unreal divas promo and can't really see the divas cussing at each other like that. Trish and Melina both want Mickie but the question is who is going to end up getting her? Me guesses we have another number one contender's match next week.
Well um, Cactus Jack is back. You are continuing too many feuds like in the WWE and don't think that's good. You need to establish your own feuds differently from the WWE. Otherwise, Flair lost the match thanks to Foley and another match is set for SummerSlam.

Padres beats D'backs 4-1 for sixth straight win
San Diego Ian Kennedy did his best to not to let a potential 10-game suspension get the better of him.
The Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander threw six solid innings Sunday, allowing one run on four hits, walking one and striking out six. He also contributed two hits and drove in his team's only run in the third inning.
But in the end it was San Diego's Kyle Blanks and Clayton Richard that carried the Padres to their sixth straight win and a three-game sweep of Arizona.
Blanks hit a three-run home run off reliever David Hernandez (2-4) in the bottom of the eighth inning to snap a 1-1 tie and make a winner out of Richard (2-5), who pitched a season high eight innings, allowing one run on seven hits.
"I felt good throwing the ball," said Kennedy. "They are a tough team, they foul balls off and have long at-bats, no matter who they are. They are a good team over there. You have to give them credit for what they did the whole series."
Huston Street came on in the ninth to pick up his 13th save in 14 opportunities for the Padres (35-34), who moved above 500. for the first time since closing the 2010 season with a 90-72 record.
The Padres have gone 30-19 since April 24th, are 21-7 in their last 28 home games and have pulled within two games of first-place Arizona in the NL West.
"We got outplayed in every aspects of the game," said Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson. "I thought he (Kennedy) threw the ball great. His changeup to (Will) Venable (who homered) was a hanging breaking ball. That was not a good pitch. They didn't miss then and we did."
Kennedy is appealing a 10-game suspension for his part in the team's recent brawl with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"It's out of our hands. I don't know when it's going to happen. I know you guys have to write about it. But I just want to put it behind me and go out and pitch. It helps that it's Father's Day and I woke up and got pictures from my girls, wishing me `Happy Father's Day' and good luck."
Richard went a season-high eight innings allowing one run on seven hits. He walked none and struck out one as he improved to 7-1 in 10 career starts against the Diamondbacks.
"Any situation is big but to produce late in the game makes it that much better," said Blanks.
He has hit safely in 11 of his last 15 games, batting .321 during that span.
"There is no secret. I've been just trying to stay consistent really focusing on trying to get good swings and putting those good swings on good pitches and typically good things happen when you do that."
Ten days ago Blanks had been assigned to Triple-A Tucson but made a quick U-turn when injuries befell first baseman Yonder Alonso and outfielder Cameron Maybin.
"He's got raw power, he's a big man with legitimate power that plays in the big leagues," said Padres manager Bud Black. "He's taken this opportunity of regular play and really playing well whether in the outfield or at first base. He's responding. He's making a statement."
Blanks had gone 0 for 3 against Arizona starter Ian Kennedy before launching a hanging breaking ball from Hernandez.
In the bottom of the third, the Padres' Will Venable hit his ninth home run of the season, a 429-foot blast to right-center off Kennedy.

Palomas De La Villa Group
Mrs. Mariana Z. Hernández is the group representative. She is 29 years old and finished 6th grade. She's married and her husband works as a bricklayer. They have three children: Alondra, 8, who is in elementary school, Paloma, 3, and Joaquín, 13, who doesn't go to school anymore and goes to help his father working as a bricklayer's assistant.
She has a business selling suadero (thin cut of beef from the brisket) taquitos, longaniza and meat with chili at the local elementary school in the afternoons. She asked for a loan to buy meat, oil, vegetables, tortillas, plates and spoons. She started the business five years ago. She learned by watching how the taquitos were prepared. She used to sell tostadas and rice tacos and later was offered the opportunity to sell the taquitos. A teacher told her that if she wanted to sell them she could and she accepted.
She started out using money she had from the bedspreads and invested it in food to prepare the taquitos. She also sells shoes, bedspreads and underwear via catalogue. She goes out daily to offer her wares to neighbors and relatives in her free time. Her business is a block from home; she walks to the elementary school to sell the taquitos.
Her business is important because it produces money for her children as well as food to eat. Her favorite part of the job is tending to the customers and she feels happy when she sees how much her customers, who are the children and teachers, like the taquitos that she prepares so gladly. Her business is very popular because it's very well known by the children because of the good flavor of the taquitos. She uses profits from the business to reinvest in the food to continue selling, to repay the loan, for her children, for school. She wants to buy a charcoal grill and a griddle to provide better service to her customers and intends to do so thanks to the loan.
She likes Ciudad Ayala because it's very pretty, has a nice ambience and there are many passersby in the streets. There are two spas: Axocoche and El Colibrí. There are springs here and streams where the water from the springs runs. Christmas is celebrated in grand scale. There are Nativity masses at 6 and 8 at night. After mass people return home to lull the Baby Jesus; they sing to him and lull him. They hand out little buckets, gourds and little baskets with treats.
Her business has helped the family get ahead with the children. The improvements she wants to make to her house are to rebuild it from top to bottom and fix it up nicely. Her plans and hopes for the future of her children are to get ahead and provide an education for them and to have a better quality of life.
Mariana is happy with the loan she's getting because it's an opportunity she's going to invest in her business and it will help her much.
The improvement she hopes for her children is that they study and improve and she feels they will accomplish this with the loan's help because she will invest it in her business and from it will be taking out a little to continue to buy and for her children.
The group members would like to say to Kiva and Fundación Realidad: thank you thinking of us because thanks to you we get ahead in our businesses. Thank you for granting the loan. It is appreciated because you lend to us at low interest because you are always concerned for us.
