Will the IPCC Be Ready to Communicate About Its Fifth Assessment Report?
Will the IPCC Be Ready to Communicate About Its Fifth Assessment Report?
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the world authority on the science of climate. But at the same time, it has been increasingly beset by controversies that call into question its approach, and its preparedness, when it comes to communication.
Essentially, the IPCC releases highly technical reports, fairly infrequently, that get an initial flurry of mainstream media attention and then get attacked viciously until the next report comes out. And when attacked, IPCC has opted for an ill advised strategy of "hunkering down," as Andrew Revkin puts it. Indeed, following "GlacierGate"—when a very real error was found in one of IPCC's reports—IPCC came off as defensive and was very slow to admit the mistake.
Following the various "-Gates" of 2009 and 2010, a cry went out in many circles that we need to improve climate science communication. As a result, all kinds of communication innovations are now going forward, many of which are ably summarized by Revkin in a recent article in the Bulletin of the World Meteorological Organization (which was central to creating the IPCC itself in 1988).
But where does IPCC fit in the context of this innovation wave? It still seems to be dragging. Revkin reports the following:
As the IPCC prepares its Fifth Assessment Report, it does so with what, to my eye, appears to be an utterly inadequate budget for communicating its findings and responding in an agile way to nonstop public scrutiny facilitated by the Internet. I would love to think that the countries that created the climate panel could also contribute to boosting the panel's capacity for transparency, responsiveness and outreach.
I made this point recently in an e-mail exchange with three leaders of the climate panel's next assessment – the chairman, Rajendra K. Pachauri, and Thomas Stocker and Christopher Field, scientists respectively co-leading the reports on climate science and impacts.
They all agreed that more resources and a clear communications strategy are badly needed. "Despite several years of highlighting the need for effective communications and outreach, we have really made very little headway, and I know that we cannot delay action in this area much longer," Dr. Pachauri wrote. "If we do, it would be at our own peril."
Since Revkin wrote this, there is at least one positive sign. The IPCC just released a "Communications Strategy," drafted at its May Abu Dhabi session, which says many of the right things. The organization will apparently be hiring a Senior Communications Manager and trying to coordinate a mechanism for rapid response. And there is much else in the document to praise—but I also note the following:
There are significant resource implications in communicating IPCC work effectively, and the Panel will require regular updates on the financial implications of implementing the strategy.
Revkin puts it a lot more bluntly: "without more resources from the 194 countries that sponsor the effort, I see scant prospect for concrete improvement."
It appears that the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report is due out in 2013 and 2014. So basically, the IPCC has about two years to really get together a serious communications mechanism for the moment when it is going to be needed most. Let us hope that the current strategy document is only the beginning, and that dollars will follow good intentions.
The IPCC, like every scientific organization, needs to understand that the work is not over just because you've finished doing the science and published it. In fact, the work has only begun.

"appears to be an utterly inadequate budget for communicating its findings and responding in an agile way to nonstop public scrutiny"
Problem is if they were funded for this, it would be upped to "100 million spent on just PR alone!!!" by the denialists.
Being politicians, the ones who dole out the meager funds don't want to lose a single vote, even from the lunatics.
The phrase, "alarmist hysteria" is showing up repeatedly on the comment threads of just about every article recently posted on climate change. It is the Climate Denial Spin Machine's version of Baskin-Robbins' flavor of the month. Climate denier drones like "anonymous" have been programmed to use the phrase in their posts and they are obediently doing so.
Exactly right Badgersouth. The other one they are being encouraged to spread amongst their denier kin is "CAGW". AGW wasn't working out for them as well, the links to AGW were all too easily proven. Now they have moved onto a more extreme version Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming.
It's good in a way, because it means the end for the deniers the same as it was for the smoking lobbyists.
The fossil fuel lobbyists use exactly the same techniques as the smoking lobbyists , who also happen to be the same people lobying politician & the public today.
■There is no scientific "consensus";
■There is a scientific "controversy";
■Other hypotheses are at least as probable;
■Here is a list of "prestige figures" who disagree with the mainstream view;
■One report says one thing, but here's another saying something else, so who knows where the truth lies?
Then when it is clear they are losing it's
"ok, we know man is contributing to it, but we don't know how much it's affecting us - climate sensitivity".
Then after it's clear that man is responsible for the extra warming, it's moved from ok, it might be AGW...but it's not catastrophic!! You are being alarmist!!
"Alarmist" being a word the smoking lobbyists worked out a while back is a trigger word for peoples emotions & readiness to act as one smoking lobbyists says here back in the day:
"People generally do not favour action on a non-alarming situation when arguments seem to be balanced on both sides and there is a clear doubt. The weight of impressions on the public must be balanced so people will have doubts and lack motivation to take action. Accordingly, means are needed to get balancing information into the stream from sources that the public will find credible. There is no need for a clear-cut 'victory'. [...] Nurturing public doubts by demonstrating that this is not a clear-cut situation in support of the opponents usually is all that is necessary […]
P. Lesly, Coping With Opposition Groups "
The lobbyists through their various denier blogs have continuously planted their thought seeds to mention "alarmism" or "alarmists" in virtually every post so no matter how bad things get the deniers will always have something to compare with that's worse. E.g. It was hotter when the planet was forming!! Temperatures now are nothing!!
Thanks Badgersouth, that's about it.
Unfortunately, no amount of money is going to overtop the vast sums and political fellow travelership using the clever PR meant to promote business as usual.
Sadly, it is going to take a lot more of groaning earth's complaints before we all begin to "get it". Scientific reductionism doesn't help and explaining that they won't say what they don't know doesn't penetrate most instant gratification-focused understanding. The other "side" has no such restrictions - to things like honesty and probability.
Adolescent namecalling is not restricted, sadly, to those buying improbable infotainment and advertising fluff. We are all capable of it.
I'm not sure there is an urgent need for funding to improve the way this report is communicated. What people really want is transparency, just the facts and how they were determined to be 'facts'.
In other words, how much is it going to cost to simply 'open the books'? Certainly it will cost less than the previous attempts to conceal the process, no?
@ Hank 122
Transparency? There will necessarily have to be greater uncertainty in the form of greater error intervals in the AR5 compared to AR4 because of the problems that have surfaced with the IPCC general circulation models pertaining to ocean heat uptake. There are also newer Greenland ice melt models for example, projecting much less ice melt (1.77 inches of sea level rise by 2100) that have done a much better job in mirroring Greenland's actual glacial disruption characteristics which old models had exaggerated by as much as 100%. Error intervals will likely be be larger there too as thermal expansion of the oceans may not be as great as first thought based on ocean heat uptake which has paused since 2003. Scientists were startled to see a 10mm drop in sea level rise over an 18 month period after the last sea level rise update from the Colorado State U scientists. Lastly the IPCC has already voted to ignore the IAC recommendation for limiting the use of non-peer reviewed material and the need for clearly identifying and citing non-peer reviewed documentation in AR5. If you are unaware, the use of non-cited non-peer reviewed documentation was one of the reasons that prompted the UN to engage in an independent investigation by the IAC in the first place. While the IPCC bylaws allow them to use non-peer reviewed documentation, the material was not identified as such in AR4 and certainly not identified or mentioned in IPCC PR releases. The sad part is that once again we will first get the Summary for Policy Makers, the spin, before we get the to review the science, and until you examine the science, you can't be sure if they just put lipstick on the pig as far as following IAC recommendations.

You must mean this graph:
I don't know what startles me more, your stupidity or your dishonesty. You know, some of us know how to check these things.
Where's the sea level rise acceleration? Aren't Greenland and Antarctica melting faster than any other time? Where did all that melted ice water go?
Since 2003 we've had 12mm of sea level rise over the last 100 months which is 1.44mm per year.
Here's the Avisio Altimetry mean sea level measurements since 2004 showing a .76mm/yr rise which is quite odd given all the ice melt.
No alarming sea level rise found in this study.
Here's ARGO showing a -.1mm/yera trend since 2004.
I sure am surprised at how much data a stupid person like me has compared to you. lol
Eh, what about going through AVISO's main page, so you actually know what you are getting?
Yes, a stupid person like you, or Steven Goddard, can find any amount of data. Knowledge is a different story.
...and if you must know, the AVISO graph you deep-linked to is from the ENVISAT satellite only, which has a well known altimeter drift of -2.2 mm/yr from cal/val, among other issues. Knowledge, that. And your pal Goddard forgot to pick the version which corrects for GIA (Glacial Isostatic Adjustment).
...and on a more general note, it's nice to change the subject and all that, but I'm still waiting for you to show me that 18-month sea level fall...
Go have a look for yourself:
and a site calling itself "climategate" is hardly a place to go for the data. Why not go to the ARGO data direct?
Or is the problem that your asinine stupidity would be shown up?
Well look. If you take any selected period you can see a small decrease, but if you take any random period, you'll much more often see an increase.
I guess that your model of ocean heat content is garbage.
More evidence that sea level rise will not accelerate.
"According to a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Greenland Ice Sheet melt may contribute to global sea level rise at a slower rate than previously believed. The model – which researchers say does a much more accurate job of simulating how ice in Greenland responds to rising temperatures – forecasts that the rise in sea levels attributable to Greenland Ice Sheet melt may end up being half that made by previous estimates."

doing so might educate them, so they avoid checking references or reading what they're told to link to.
All they feel they can do is repeat a lie again and again until it sticks.
For how this idea came to be popular, you need to go to the Third Reich:
Much like the Nazis, these randians see the wealthy as Ubermench, if not actually demigods (blessed by The Lord to have wealth and power, obvious since He would not let someone nasty get money [please don't mention Soros or Al Gore in this crowd as equally blessed, they're tools of the devil]). Therefore what these wealthy want is Holy and whoever against them The Ultimate Evil.
And just like the Inquisitors, ANYTHING done to vanquish Ultimate Evil is not only good, but the only Moral Cause.
The Taliban had the same ideals.
By all means, continue to revel in your feeble efforts. We play two different games here, Alarmists and skeptics. Alarmists apparently want to "save the world" from utter destruction due to man's nefarious breedin' and consumin'. Skeptics simply want to prevent Alarmists from doing any harm.
Guess who is winning?
You go ahead and collect all the Academy endorsements you want for your "consensus." Go ahead and dwell endlessly on imaginary fossil fuel conspiracies preventing your righteous message from being heard. We'll keep electing Congressmen and women who will oppose you and defund you every chance they get. After all, we wouldn't want a Democratic Congress and presidency to take over. Oh, wait. That actually happened. Say, how much climate change legislation did you pass when that happened? Oh yeah. None.
The last Pew poll on "climate change" showed that only 34 percent of Americans believe that global warming is happening AND man is responsible for it. Your'e in the minority and will stay that way until we say otherwise.
Hi Susan! Haven't seen you in awhile!
"We play two different games here, Alarmists and skeptics."
Correction, those that trust the worlds scientists & scientific institutions to know their stuff & advise us correctly & deniers.
"Alarmists apparently want to "save the world" from utter destruction"
That is a denier misnomer. Please provide an example of any pro agw scientist saying "utter destruction"...strawman.
"Skeptics simply want to prevent Alarmists from doing any harm."
Skeptics just don't know any better & have never bothered to really understand the facts or search for them. Deniers on the other hand refuse to accept any evidence that conflicts with their pre-determined views. Often deniers are actually lobbyists or defending their political interests. They will change their mind when paid to do otherwise or their political party changes their mind.
"Guess who is winning?"
Deniers in Australia, Canada & the USA where the majority of the worlds biggest fossil fuel companies are & spend the most lobbying & media money? Because you have lost in the rest of the world.
"Go ahead and dwell endlessly on imaginary fossil fuel conspiracies"
We have evidence of the fact. You don't have evidence of your conspiracy theory that the worlds climate scientists & scientific institutions are conspiring.....to get more grant money..to earn about as much as a middle income worker? You don't have evidence there is a plan to de-industrialize the west, you don't have evidence that it is a communist or socialist plot to create a NWO or one world government & take away your rights.
"We'll keep electing Congressmen and women who will oppose you and defund you every chance they get."
As John Stuart Mills once said "I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it."
Funny how the further away from the major cities & the less educated you are, the more likely you are to be a conservative, hence the red states.
"After all, we wouldn't want a Democratic Congress and presidency to take over. Oh, wait. That actually happened. Say, how much climate change legislation did you pass when that happened? Oh yeah. None."
Not from lack of want. Like here in Australia, the bills were blocked by conservatives in all cases, because they are funded by the fossil fuel & mining companies.
"Your'e in the minority and will stay that way until we say otherwise. "
Reminds me of the nuremburg rallies.
You might be able to con people into voting against proposed AGW action because of your ignorance or political beliefs, but it doesn't make the science or the issue go away.
It isn't good enough that deniers use FOI to attempt to hold up science when they can get data freely. It isn't good enough that they use the lobying might of the fossil fuel companies to pretty much own most conservative politicians in the USA, Canada & Australia. It isn't good enough that they have their own mainstream prime time propaganda channel (fox news) to spread misinformation to the gullible, it isn't enough that they have dozens of denier websites that repeat falsifications daily as if the last errors were never proven wrong. And despite being humiliated & proven wrong many times over in major science journals, they need to resort to death threats.
If the deniers were "winning" as our denier friend Mike Mangan sugests, then they wouldn't need to resort to any of that.
They could simply present research & fact based science to the major journals & knock the whole thing on the head permanently.
But they know they are wrong & this is all they have got like Mike above suggests. Stop science funding, sweep the problem under the carpet, concentrate on the voting public not science & somehow it will all get better.
Well said. Mangan and other deniers like to quote populist polls as if that somehow negates the science, "The last Pew poll on "climate change" showed that only 34 percent of Americans believe that global warming is happening AND man is responsible for it."
Add that to the list of fallacies that his comments are replete with: Appeal to Popularity,namely, a proposition is held to be true because it is widely held to be true or is held to be true by some sector of the population.
Mangan and his ilk should read a little history of civilizations of the past with Jared Diamond's 'Collapse' being a good start. Other Diamond volumes are also enlightening.
The biggest trouble as I see it is that these deniers have such narrow minds, geologists who think they can take on oceanographers and engineers who think they know all about atmospheric science and ecology.
I was once an engineer, aviation at sea, but then I went to Uni as a mature and broadened my outlook. Thus it is natural for me to pick up on anything. Right from a kid I was reading every book that crossed my path about the workings of planet earth (and beyond) and the organisms of it and latterly their interactions. It is that last bit, the interactions between the earth's physical systems and the web of life that these support, as Lovelock explained oh so well, that the deniers show so little recognition of.
Diamond, Dawkins, Dennett, Penrose, Carson, Sagan, Forte, Smolin and Feynman and many others are on my book shelves, laterly joined by those writing both about climate science, Archer, Pierrehumbet, Alley and also those exposing the real villains of the denial movement writers like Oreskes, Romm and Hogan.
I don't know if there is any correlation between this tunnel vision and home-schooling and special faith based schooling but the gyrations of Art Robinson and his Oregon circus suggests that there may be.
"If the deniers were "winning" as our denier friend Mike Mangan sugests, then they wouldn't need to resort to any of that. They could simply present research & fact based science to the major journals & knock the whole thing on the head permanently."
Sadly, the deniers are winning in spite of doing any research & fact based science. It's a propaganda war, and truth has no place in it for the winners. By the time the evidence is irrefutable, the carbon industries will probably employ the same people to sell us geoengineering solutions.
Sadly Keith, you are right & Mike is right too. The deniers don't actually have to do any science & they don't have to conduct any research themselves.
They just have to convince/dupe enough of the voting public that the pro AGW scientists are wrong & we should quarantine their views & science for another generation & time. After the fossil fuel companies have wrung the last cents of profit they can out of the ground & public. Then they will simply buy up all the clean energy solutions & tell everybody they have to use it.
Deniers of the future will no doubt dutifully back them & declare to people who have been arguing for it all along..."get with the program!! Clean energy is the answer".
Like goldfish that swim to the other side of the tank, forget where they have been & discover a whole new environment on the other side.
If they were winning then there wouldn't be 78% of the people wanting more done to mitigate AGW.
However, all attempts by the deniers to avoid the truth have done nothing but allow them more time to accumulate money which is then spent on lobbying, making the wealthy wealthier still.
The rank and file however are poorer and even less effective.
Hence their need to threaten the scientists and their increasing shrillness in their protestations of conspiracy and "we're winning".
The winning team don't need to say "we're winning", since it's obvious.
Kudos to Phil M. for taking the time to post a set of very insightful comments on this thread.
Kudos also to everyone else who has taken the time to rebute the poppycock being regurtitated by the climate denier drones.
"Correction, those that trust the worlds scientists & scientific institutions to know their stuff & advise us correctly & deniers."
Those who slavishly gulp the Establishment Koolaid because it fits their pre-conceived notion of the world. I was raised in the 60's and have always questioned authority. After a lifetime of seeing the science establishment change their minds again and again over simple things like dietary fat, caffeine, or the freaking food pyramid we're supposed to believe that something as vast and as complex as the global climate is now fully understood?
After Climategate exposed how the data is manipulated and how skeptical viewpoints were shut out of publishing I have no reason to believe your "leading climatologists."
"That is a denier misnomer. Please provide an example of any pro agw scientist saying "utter destruction"...strawman."
Spare me. I summarize the feelings of everyone from "Death Trains" James Hansen down to my good friend Susan Anderson. You all embrace the farthest outliers of model projections and incorporate them in your daily propaganda. One needs only read a few pages from the completely over the top Joe Romm or Bill McKibben. The Strawman is your argument, Phil. I didn't say anything about your "scientists" claiming utter destruction.
"We have evidence of the fact."
Really? And you never see fit to give that evidence to the mainstream media who so willingly carry your water.
Oh, gosh. Here's one I've never heard before. You think conservatives are stupid. Gee, brilliant insight. Also a great motivator in a center-right country like America where conservatives greatly outnumber liberals. Not a good strategy for the minority to tell the majority how stupid they are. Not in a country where you can vote.
"Reminds me of the nuremburg rallies."
Godwin's law. Guess you lose once again. You know what you people remind me of? The people Stalin sent to drag the kulaks from their homes to murder. Or worse, the mobs that enforced Mao's Great Leap Forward.
"I was raised in the 60's and have always questioned authority. "
I would like to see you say that to a cop or judge.
"we're supposed to believe that something as vast and as complex as the global climate is now fully understood? "
Are we supposed to believe that adding billions of tonnes of additional CO2 to that system each year through fossil fuels alone, while simultaneously deforesting does nothing?
"After Climategate exposed how the data is manipulated"
No, it exposed how little deniers knew about data.
"and how skeptical viewpoints were shut out of publishing"
So is Poptechs list of 900 real or not?
"Spare me. I summarize the feelings"
Translation, you lied & exaggerated.
"You all embrace the farthest outliers of model projections and incorporate them in your daily propaganda."
In the 6 years I have been doing this, I have never seen that. Deniers don't understand, that long before some fantasy furnace planet you think we are trying to warn of, that many millions of the poorest in the 3rd world countries will be affected & will mobilize. Either by flood, drought or lack of food & water. The refugee & military implications are enormous. Not to mention extinction of some animal life that will have a flow on effect to other animals & eventually us.
"The Strawman is your argument, Phil. I didn't say anything about your "scientists" claiming utter destruction. "
Great! This is good news. So you don't think any AGW scientists are "alarmists"? Because above you said "Alarmists apparently want to "save the world" from utter destruction". So if scientists are not in your category of alarmists, please define exactly who is? And provide an example of someone who has said "utter destruction". You are manufacturing lies & you know it.
"Really? And you never see fit to give that evidence to the mainstream media who so willingly carry your water. "
The media already know. It's called lobbying & it's legal in a democratic society. You don't have access to google? You should try it some time, here's a hand to get you started.
"Also a great motivator in a center-right country like America where conservatives greatly outnumber liberals."
When I said above "Like here in Australia,", I meant...as in..not America. I'm not sure what the voting system is like in Canada, but here in Australia the progressives & conservatives are pretty much 49% each. 51% is considered a landslide. The USA as far as I know doesn't have a compulsory voting system, but in a country where "conservatives greatly out number liberals" , how did that majority switch allegiance & vote in Obama & Clinton?
A quick google of conservative election wins in the USA shows a win with between 48%-50% of votes. What is your definition of "greatly outnumber"? Minority governments are becoming increasingly more commonplace worldwide as people mistrust BOTH sides.
"Godwin's law. Guess you lose once again. You know what you people remind me of? The people Stalin "
So you retort with a communist/socialist paranoia meme?
And what if the facts support that preconception. A flat-earther may say EXACTLY what you've just said. All that info about the earth being round is false because it's supporting the round-earther's preconcieved ideas.
"And you never see fit to give that evidence to the mainstream media who so willingly carry your water."
Yes, it's been given multiple times:
You see, not having even attempted to hide your lies, you show you're stupid.
You also admit you're a conservative.
PS if the conservatives outnumber the liberals, how come you got a black democrat president? Did the conservatives forget how to put an X in a box?
Mike Mangan's vitriolic statements are pathetic!
Whether or not it's 'scientists' that are forecasting utter destruction, there is no denying that the pro-AGW publicity machine is going way overboard on all of their forecasts. Imo, this has to change because it is clearly undermining the credibility of the message.
The general public are just not listening anymore.
"Whether or not it's 'scientists' that are forecasting utter destruction, there is no denying that the pro-AGW publicity machine is going way overboard on all of their forecasts."
To have a shot at the extremes in outcomes that some pro agw groups or self interest groups are suggesting,it would only be fair to acknowledge the downplay that denier groups are promoting. That there is no global warming, there is no sea level rise, there is no melting in greenland , the artic or antarctica, the glaciers are increasing in mass, not losing it. We are getting cooler not warmer. The warming that we are experiencing is ENTIRELY natural.
Who is "the pro-agw publicity machine"? Please provide examples.
"this has to change because it is clearly undermining the credibility of the message."
I agree there has been some exaggeration from some elements on the pro-agw side, it doesn't help. There is no furnace planet, there is no 100M sea level rise, however, the very small changes to our delicate climate system have been entirely underestimated & downplayed by deniers. Western countries will cope & adapt just fine despite ever increasing insurance premiums,water & power costs. But what of the few billion poor that cannot. They will simply move to the cities or to another country. That creates huge issues. What happens when the oceans reach a tipping point when some creatures cannot form shells? The IPCC have been conservative in their estimates in many cases & from what we hear about the up & coming IPCC report, they plan to continue being very conservative.
"The general public are just not listening anymore."
I wouldn't say that. Certainly with every major weather event like floods, droughts, massive snow falls, severe cyclones/hurricanes & tornadoes, people are starting to question it more & more. Whether the event was or wasn't actually exacerbated by AGW.
The governments in Australia , Canada & the USA might be able to shut down & defund climate science institutes & scientists as Mike Mangan suggests through ignorant voter action & ostrich politics. But it doesn't stop the rest of the world researching it. The issue will never go away while the problem exists. It's like holding your hands over your ears while a car alarm is going off. Dulling the sound doesn't stop the source of the noise.
The extra CO2 in our atmosphere just simply wont go away over night & while we pump ever increasing amounts into the atmosphere, our climate will only get worse. That is why for deniers.....the issue will simply never go away.They will always have this monkey on their back until something is done. It's so blindingly obvious to those who care to look.
"The extra CO2 in our atmosphere just simply wont go away over night & while we pump ever increasing amounts into the atmosphere, our climate will only get worse.

Very nicely put, but the deniers are well aware of that. Their purpose is simply to delay any action that will affect the profits of their paymasters for as long as they can. They are amoral people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Their task is made easier, because they peddle their lies to an audience that wants to hear them. After all, very few of us actually want to change our lifestyles in the way that the evidence for anthropogenic climate change suggests we should.
Other than making their behavior illegal - which no politician would dare to propose - the deniers are going to keep on winning the propaganda war until the evidence that they have been lying is there for everyone to see. The trouble is, by then it will be too late to do anything about it.
I think that demonstrates the paucity of the denialist argument. "Whether or not we're lying..." "Whether or not there's alarmism..." "Whether or not there are facts on your side...".
"there is no denying that the pro-AGW publicity machine is going way overboard on all of their forecasts"
Yes there is.
I deny it.
You need to prove your statement. Poptart couldn't manage it even when the "AGW Alarmism" supposedly exists on this site.
Prove your statements.
78% of the public want more done to mitigate AGW. They're not listening to you any more.
The similarity between you crazies and the jihadis is remarkable. Islam means "to submit." This is exactly the way you treat anyone who dares question your source of authority. Islam has the Koran, Alarmists have the IPCC. For some odd reason you expect the majority of the citizens of Western Civilization to submit to the declarations of your approved scientists. As if that attitude isn't repulsive enough, you have to throw in the BigEvilOil conspiracy just like Muslims like to blame the Zionists.
Russia, Japan, Canada, France and America have pulled out of Kyoto...
You people are miserable failures.
"The similarity between you crazies and the jihadis is remarkable."
Again with the radical inferences? So original for you Mike.
"Islam means "to submit."
Never let a denier get in the way of a lie, it's just too important to them. Not that I should be defending Islam, as I am an atheist, but let's get facts straight. Yeah, I know I know, you aren't fond of them, but here goes.
The word Islam means 'submission or surrender to god', 'peace' & 'way to peace'.
"For some odd reason you expect the majority of the citizens of Western Civilization to submit to the declarations of your approved scientists."
By majority of the citizens of the western world, I gather you mean the USA? Because most of the western world are already making steps to address the problem.
"Russia, Japan, Canada, France and America have pulled out of Kyoto..."
You are just getting around to reading the news of 2005-2006? France are probably leading the way anyway in CO2 reduction, so the point is moot. Also the USA never ratified it. I'm sure if I dig around for another few mins I will expose more lies & ignorance but hey, out of 191 signatories 5 are not there??! Oh nooooo, wave our hands in the air in panic.
"You people are miserable failures"
You are conservative with the truth.
That is what we are lambasting you for. Not for questioning authority (I question Senator Inholfe, Tim Ball and Chris Monckton. All authorities). But for refusing to accept any facts that don't accord to your beliefs.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
Current temperatures have gone up 33C because of their presence, showing a sensitivity of 3x the CO2's effect because of water vapour feedbacks.
The trend of temperature is in accord with a sensitivity of 3C per doubling of CO2.
The variation of the trend is almost entirely explained by CO2's growth (78%).
You refuse them.
They are not "authority" any more than your thermometer telling you your temperature is 36C is an authority.
However, you WILL NEVER question the authority of, for example, Anthony Watts.
What a country!
Gillard gets the finger from the public...
Aussie fascist Richard Glover believes that "climate deniers" should be tattooed so they can be identified for future ostracization...
Such is the power of the mining & fossil fuel industries. They now have their own channel ( channel 10) just like fox. They ow the conservative party. Plus 90% of the papers are owned by deniers, plus 99% of the talk back stations owned & hosted by deniers.
I'm surprised we have done so well.

Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.
HAWS License #267280-DS
Odds & Ends & Kibbles & Bits
We're taking a few deep breaths at HAWS before launching into the holiday season. But we have lots to do and to look forward to...
The Friends of HAWS annual Holiday Bazaar & Bake Sale is this Saturday, November 6th at our shelter. Shop early for the pets and pet-lovers in your life! The Bazaar is full of great pet-related and seasonal merchandise, and is also a super place to satisfy your sweet tooth. Make plans to come by for lunch and do a little browsing and buying to support HAWS.
TTouch for Little Critters will be presented on Sunday, November 7th. If you have a house rabbit, guinea pig or other small animal in your life, this seminar shows you great ways to promote their well-being and lessen their stress for visits to the vet, groomer, etc. Come to think of it, we could all use a little de-stressing...
Of COURSE HAWS' Mobile Adoption Center has a busy month planned! Rub-a-dub all pups in the tub for our Dog Wash at Petlicious Spa on Sunday, November 14th. Dine out for HAWS at the Pewaukee Applebees on Monday, November 15th. We'll be joining in the fun for Muskego's Country Christmas when we set up shop at Pet Supplies 'N More on Saturday, November 20th. Finally, we'll be making "black Friday" a celebration with a holi-day-of-fun at Petco of Waukesha on November 26th. Throw in stops at Brookfield Square, Petco of Germantown AND Delafield, and a parade appearance or two...well, you can understand why it is called our MOBILE Adoption Center!
Our calendar is filled out with dog training classes and our famous "Keep your Puppy and Your Sanity" seminar (11/14), along with volunteer orientations, the monthly Friends meeting (11/10), little pet pedicures and more. Two feet or four, paws or claws - HAWS has something for YOU this November!
By the way - we've STILL got lots of kittens available for adoption. So, now you can adopt a kitten at HAWS...and get the 2nd kitten at no charge! Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, the first round of vaccinations, wellness exam, microchip I.D. A great time to enjoy twice the fun at 1/2 the price!
Many Thanks
There is a very cute video on YouTube that shows an Australian Cattle Dog who has learned to bow his head and "Say Grace." A good reminder that it is time to tally our blessings and give thanks!
At HAWS, we're thankful for...
...Fuzz Therapy! Where else can you take a break from the stresses of work and cuddle a cat or play with a puppy? (You don't have to be an employee to do that - just stop by someday. Or become a volunteer.)
...Caring Kids: the neat ideas, donations raised and just all-around helpful nature of kids these days is something to behold. We never get tired of them!
...the HAWS "family": this includes staff, volunteers, board members, fans, visitors...anyone who supports the HAWS cause and gives us sustenance, a pat on the back and the reassurance that we're doing good. Waukesha is truly a great community to be a part of!
...Forever Homes: when a long-time resident of HAWS finally goes home, it is bittersweet - we get very attached to these pets, but we're overjoyed to see them land in such great places. (This means you, Hannah, Wendall, Lolly, Cadance, Barnaby, Spoofy, Paco...forever in our hearts!)
...Today: Each day we walk into our "new" shelter and are greeted with hope and love. We have lots to do, so let's get to it!
...Tomorrow: Whatever we don't get done today, we can work at tomorrow. Whatever pet didn't find their home today, we'll try even harder tomorrow. We'll be back to fight the good fight as long as it takes.
From all the paws and claws at HAWS - Have a Great Thankgiving, Everyone!
By the way - if you're looking for a shop-portunity this Black Friday, think Black Cats and Black Labs! Join our Mobile Adoption Center at Petco - Waukesha on Sunset Ave. at 8am and kick of your "howl"-iday season on the right foot, er, paw!

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- Bl. John Paul II

NEEDED: A few good men/women/children to help with Aid Station #10 of the Pinhoti 100 (Mile 55.34)
SATURDAY, November 5
Tom and I are the "hosts" for Aid Station #10 at Adam's Gap. This is a large aid station/command center with bag drops, pacer pickup, doctor checks, etc…
It's a fun Aid Station (think party atmosphere) with a large roaring fire and rocking music.
But we need a few volunteers to help check-in runners as they come through. This is very important as we don't want to lose track of any runners.
What is required: If you want to do shifts, we can set up for 4 hour increments, but it would still be best to have two people swapping out each shift.
2:00 p.m. – 6 p.m. Arrive at Adam's Gap at 2 p.m. to help set up "stuff." Check-ins would not occur until later.
6 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. Do check-ins of runners and help breakdown station.
What you need to bring: Flashlight to read list while checking in the runners. Food/drink for you. Jacket. If it's really cold, hand warmers, etc…. This aid station is out in the open. It's a trail run, remember?
If you've never experienced an ultra-trail run, now is the time!
Questions? Let me know.

***from Todd Henderson
Happy Monday, runners! I hope you took advantage of the cooler weather and got some run time in before your weekend got too busy!
***from Roxana Conroy
I ran a 5k yesterday here in Ft. Payne. The run was to raise money for Whitney Smith who has plans to serve in Sudan through her church ministry. I do not know all the details but i have a website if anyone wants to check it out.
***from Jay Worrall
1) Race Report. Jennifer and I ran the Inaugural Georgia Jewel this past weekend, September 24. There was a 100 mile, a 50 mile, and a 35 mile race. Jen and I ran the 50 mile. She was the second woman overall, and I was the 9th male overall. As usual, we ran the entire race together, and we were happy with our performances. It is a rough course on the feet--lots of rocky and technical terrain, as well as some hills--but it was also pretty, and the volunteers were awesome. We also saw Wayne running the 35m, and it looked like he was doing well. I look forward to hearing how he did!
2) Trail Training Run. Any trail runners interested in getting some miles in the weekend of October 8-9? Jen & I will be organizing a run for anyone that wants to join us for any distance. We're running the Pinhoti 100 course, throughout the day and night, hoping to cover about 67 miles total. Important: no one is expected to go the entire way if they don't want to! Anyone who wants to come out for 5 or 10 miles, please do, as we'd love the company. Let me know and we'll coordinate: email@example.com.
***from Brooke Nelson
TRI SOCIAL - NOT just for triathletes! If you've ever even had an inkling to do a multi-sport event (individually or on a team) - come on over!
Coming up this Sunday, October 9 at 5 p.m. at our cabin. We've got about 20 signed up so far, but would love to have loads more. We need to do a little planning for next year (so bring your ideas) and a lot of socializing. We'll provide the main dish, but we need you to bring your own drinks and a dish to share (appetizer, salad, veggie, or dessert).
PLEASE plan to come, and please let me know so I have enough food.
Let me know if you need a map.
***Don't forget to log your September miles for the 1200-Mile Club by emailing Jim Parham at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Have a great week, runners!
Hi there, runners! Hope all of you have a productive week of logging some miles. Speaking of logging those miles, remember to report your miles to Jim Parham at the end of the week!
Did you know there was an event in Nashville this past weekend and that two of our runners placed in their age groups? Nancy Grace and Lori Tibbetts placed 3rd and 2nd respectively in their separate categories at the Women's Half Marathon...way to go!
***From Jim Parham
My first race as a 65 yo. New age group on Friday Sept 23, a 5K that represents a return to our Navy roots witht the SWOS (Surface Warfare Officer School) 5K........ always well done. Creative T-shirts, beautiful vistas from our island featuring views of Narragansett Bay the Naval War College. Post race Newport Storm (our local beer) with pizza for after. All made better by finishing first in my age group, and that is a first for me here in RI.
Then yesterday Sept 25, my favorite swim race of the year. The New England 5&10K Championships, hosted by a gent who may be one of the greatest swimmers in the world. Ray Gandy has swum the English Channel, swum 50 miles around our islands here and is just a nice guy. The river is beautiful, the folks are great and the post steak burgers, deluxe RI hot dogs, beer from Vermont and the prizes, a Chocolate Swimmer trophy make it unique. I beat the top 10K winner who set a national record. I swam the 5K in 2:01. A wonderful event.
Still in all, missing Sweet Home and appreciate you E-news of our great running club news.
Best, Jim
*** From Steven Miles
Run The Rim 5K - THIS SATURDAY! www.racesonline.com
Have a great week and send in those reports!
Good morning, runners! I hope you had the chance to log a few miles in the cooler temps over the beautiful weekend. A LOT of you came out to run the XTerra 10K on Mt. Cheaha over the weekend. I was passing out water so I can't speak for the course, but if the smiles heading into the finish line chute were any indication, you loved the course, too! There was a mishap with some yellow jackets around mile two that affected quite a few of you, but you didn't let that stop you from finishing a challenging and scenic course. Way to go!
***I've been traveling and ran in a 10K race, TRC Running Over Cancer, in Sugarland, Texas (think Houston). Turns out it was a bit more than 10K (actually 6.8 mi) due to improper course marking or something.
I did fairly well, finishing 35th overall (of 123) and 2nd in my age group ( 60). The guy who finished 1st in group was second overall.
There was good support for the race and pretty well run (other than the glitch with distance). The race supported The Sundrop Foundation, fighting kids cancer.
Will be nice to get back to my home course, though!

***Race report...
Jen and I competed at the Wood's Ferry 24 hour race Labor Day weekend. Under this format, you run, walk, or crawl as many miles as you can within the time allowed. The course was a 7.75 mile trail loop in the Sumter National Forest in South Carolina. Conditions were very hot & humid, and we heard many runners comment on this. The race started at 4pm Saturday, finishing at 4pm Sunday. Jen and I had a race plan of running through the night, and hopefully continuing into Sunday as long as we could. (By contrast, other runners ran until midnight, slept for several hours, and then ran more the next day.) We are preparing for the Pinhoti 100 in November, and we need as much sleep deprived night running as possible! We managed to run 7 loops in a tad under 16 hours, before deciding we'd had enough. This was good for a multi-person overall tie for 12th place (based on mileage, not time), with Jen getting 2nd place for the women. I have to admit we had hoped to go a bit further, but under the conditions we were still quite content with our places! Terri Hayes the Race Director (ultrasontrails.com) always puts on several fun events each year, and I recommend running with her sometime...
Jay Worrall & Jennifer Ford
As we head into October, be sure to check out the ARC website for all the details on fall races. The Honda 5K will be October 8th, The Gamecock Gallop is October 22nd, and the YMCA Spooktacular 5K is October 29th...just to name a few!
Have a great week!
Good afternoon, runners! Several of you have been busy answering the call for race reports, so thanks for the updates and for doing our club proud in the running and multisport worlds!
*Walkers - need a buddy? I have a friend who is just getting back into exercising after a long layoff (and a recent knee replacement). She needs the motivation, commitment, and support a walking buddy (or buddies) would give her. She lives in Anniston and would love to join/start a group of walker-friendly people who want to get in better shape and enjoy the camaraderie of friends sharing a common goal. If you or someone you know is interested, just email me at: email@example.com Also, please post the days/times that are best for you. Thanks!

Our current Bicycle/Ped plan was adopted in Nov. 2003 so it's getting a little old and several projects in it have been completed.

Online educational technology degrees are designed for students who want to assume responsibility for or play integral roles in the technological development and integration of classes, schools, and districts. Students in educational technology degree programs will focus on instructional design, pedagogy, and leadership.
Educational technology degrees are available as education-based degrees or science-based degrees that will overlapping coursework but slightly different areas of focus. Education-based educational technology degrees focus on the practice of education technology, and offer courses in instructional design, technology evaluation, educational theory technology, online teaching, human development, and online learners. Science-based programs will focus more on the research and theories behind educational technology and the development of new education technologies.
While classroom experience may be helpful for a greater understanding of educational technology, it is likely unnecessary for admission or success in the programs.
There are many employment opportunities available to educational technology graduates, depending on where their interests and career goals lie. Graduates could teach in primary, secondary, or post-secondary physical or virtual classrooms; coordinate curriculum or instructional technology for departments, schools, or school districts; or train faculty and staff in the use of educational technology. Graduates could also work for education foundations or in technology consulting, data or policy analysis, or technology management.
As more primary and secondary schools, school districts, and even entire states nationwide embrace educational technology, the need for well-trained professionals in the field is growing. Because technology is only going to become more prominent in K-12 classrooms, and online degrees and virtual schools are only going to become more common—it is important the growth of technology be led by those who can fully grasp the ways in which technology and education can interact.

The familiar Office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint include new features that help you create, communicate and work even more efficiently from virtually anywhere.
In addition to updating the traditional Office suites, we've developed brand new subscription versions of Office for home and school, specifically designed for the way you use Office today. Each of these subscriptions include the latest versions of Office applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint, for PC or Mac. Plus offerings such as Skype world minutes and online storage with OneDrive.
Subscribers will also receive future rights to version upgrades as well as per-use rights across multiple PCs or Macs and select mobile devices . The Office applications you can use across PCs, Macs and other devices varies by platform.
You can install Office on PCs or Windows tablets running Windows 7 or higher, and Macs with Mac OS X 10.6 or higher. Office for iPad can be installed on iPads running iOS 7.0 or higher.
Internet access is required to install and activate all the latest releases of Office suites and all Office 365 subscription plans.
For subscription versions of Office including Office 365 Home Premium you will need to go online to manage your subscription account, for example to install Office on other machines, or to change billing options. You will also need to connect to the Internet regularly to keep your version of Office up-to-date and benefit from automatic upgrades.
Internet connectivity is also required to access the Office 365 cloud services such as OneDrive.
If you have an active Office 365 Home Premium or Office 365 University subscription, and available installs, you can install Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook on your Mac. The applications available for Mac users and the version numbers may be different from those available for PC users.
Current Office application versions for Office 365 are Office 2013 for Windows and Office 2011 for Mac. Customers with an active subscription will be entitled to the newest versions when available.
You can use Skype world minutes to call friends or family with or without a Skype account on their mobile phone or landline. Just dial from Skype and your friends and family can pick up on their phone.
Each active Office 365 Home Premium and Office 365 University subscription is entitled to 60 Skype world minutes per month, which can be used to make Skype calls to phones in over 60 countries /regions.

Office on Demand comes with some Office 365 subscriptions, including Office 365 Home Premium, Office 365 University and Office 365 Small Business Premium subscriptions. It lets you use your Office applications on PCs that don't have Office installed on them. For example, a PC in the library, at a business center, or one that you borrowed from a friend.
The applications you want to use, for example Word or Excel, are streamed to the PC instead of being permanently installed on it. Streaming speed depends on Internet connectivity speed. Once you close the applications, they are no longer available to other users of that PC. Documents you save to OneDrive will also no longer be available to other users, unless you saved them locally on the computer.
You can use Office on Demand on a PC that is connected to the Internet and running Windows 7 or later. Office on Demand is not available for Mac.

fuck your profile options bro.
We do it for the people.
From donated clothes, to caps and gowns
It's a little shout to my black and brown
Folks that know the game, not in class to clown
Had the funny accent, look who's laughing now
See Samir came here to grind, and he slaved at
Every minimum wage job, but he saved that
Brought his sis here on scholarship to make stacks
Working as a surgeon she bought a whip, and payed cash
No time to whine, we just face facts
Lets fit 6 in the back and lets take that
To the best restaurants, make reservations
Since we out here, since they made reservations
For first Nations and they never made reparations
The Natives probably relate more to immigration
So this for y'all too, and I can't forget the Haitians
Here for an education. Its a celebration.

By the time Cora W. was eight years old, she took six different medicines everyday. She saw eleven different doctors to monitor her conditions. And she slept every night attached to a machine to monitor her breathing. But, when she was admitted to the hospital, doctors could not find anything wrong with her.
Cora was healthy, but she was an unfortunate victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a serious situation. But, contrary to popular belief, it is not a mental health disorder. Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a form of physical or emotional abuse. This can prove serious or even fatal to children.
Then, What Is Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy?
Munchausen syndrome by proxy is named after Munchausen syndrome. This is a mental disorder where a person complains of fake symptoms or an illness in himself or herself to gain attention in the patient role. But, with Munchausen syndrome by proxy, the perpetrator (eg, a parent or caretaker) creates false medical problems in a child. The victims are usually preschool-age children who cannot speak up for themselves. This disorder can become dangerous because the child can be seriously injured or even killed. Perpetrators (most commonly mothers) lie, exaggerate, or even cause symptoms in the victim, usually their own child.
For example, one mother gave her daughter a substance to cause asthma attacks. Other perpetrators have given medicines that cause vomiting or seizures. These people may also willingly allow a child to undergo risky surgeries to treat false conditions. If confronted by a doctor, the perpetrators deny any wrongdoing. However, the child gets better when the perpetrator is not around.
Looking For Attention
Commonly, these mothers will receive sympathy from friends and family. Sometimes, church groups or community groups praise these mothers for their selfless duty to their sick child. Of course, to keep the praise coming, the lies must continue. Thus, the children suffer.
Getting Treatment
Treatment usually involves removal of the child from the perpetrator. This is followed by intensive individual and family therapy. While eventually reuniting the child and family is always a goal, treatment of abusing parents may not be successful. The perpetrator may have to give up parental rights.
While Cora W. thrived in the hospital, her mother could not accept this. Cora was later sent to foster care. She returned to school, made new friends, and stayed healthy, requiring only routine follow-up with a doctor.

Up close and personal with SAIC's Yez Concept Car
Urban income is growing at such a rate in China that it's no wonder the workforce is content
Article Summary
A few days ago, I managed to get up close and personal in Shanghai with one of the most interesting concept cars the world has yet seen. SAIC's Yez concept car is the first automobile, concept or otherwise, that's ever been conceived to have a negative carbon footprint. That is, it removes more pollution than it creates.

Herbs and Spices Help Prevent Diabetes DamageBy Daniel H. Rasolt
Posted: Wednesday, August 06, 2008
(Defeat Diabetes® New) -- Herbs and spices might have the benefit of decreasing tissue damage caused by diabetes. The result is connected to the anti-inflammatory abilities of herbs and spices high in antioxidants.
Many herbs and spices contain phenols, which are compounds rich in antioxidants. Significant support has been made of late for the anti-inflammatory abilities of antioxidants. High blood sugar levels in diabetes are known to lead to inflammation and tissue damage, so the potential for high antioxidant herbs and spices to prevent diabetes induced damage was logically already present. "Because herbs and spices have a very low calorie content and are relatively inexpensive, they're a great way to get a lot of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power into your diet," says study co-author Dr. James Hargrove.
Diabetes is known to lead to inflammation through excessive immune system response. High blood glucose levels induce a bonding between sugar and proteins called advanced glycation end products (AGE). This triggers an immune response that leads to inflammation and tissue damage.
24 common herbs and spices were used in the study. Some of the spices used were cloves (30% phenol content by weight) and cinnamon (18%), while sage (8%) and oregano (6%) are examples of herbs used for the study. It was found in the study that phenol content was directly related to preventing damage caused by diabetes by inhibiting AGE.
By inhibiting AGE through phenols, herbs and spices should also help prevent diabetes induced cardiovascular disease (CVD). Diabetes and CVD have been closely linked in past research due to diabetes related inflammation, and to inhibit AGE is to decrease this inflammation, lowering CVD risk.
The results of the study were not very specific to each individual spice, and study co-author Dr. Diane Hartle concludes that "if you set up a good herb and spice cabinet and season your food liberally, you could double or even triple the medicinal value of your meal without increasing the caloric content." In other words, the researchers of this study believe that a good mix of common herbs and spices are best.

Airlines - Ocean Liner Museum - Ocean Liner Museum UnLtd
cruising favourites
Don't fancy a cruise, then perhaps a trek up Mount Everest would be more appealing.
With prices starting at under £1500 complete with sherpers, it can prove a really fun alternative. See www.privateexpeditions.com or call 0121 288 0388 for more details
With so many great offers available, there's never been a better time to try a cruise.
Choose from a 138,000 ton Mega ship or a smaller traditional style 16,000 ton cruise ship. There's a massive range of destinations to choose from - Scandinavia, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Alaska - the list goes on and on. Most days, you will find yourself waking up in a new port with it's own new experiences. To help you get the most from each port you visit, your cruise line will arrange shore excursions which you can book & pay for once on board. Or if you prefer, you can explore on your own.
Most cruises, particularly those that are further afield, will involve a flight from the UK in order to join your chosen cruise ship. For those who do not want to fly, there are many cruises which depart from and return to the UK. A cruising holiday is an ideal way to meet new friends so they are perfect whether you travel alone, as a couple or as a family. Dining is one of the great cruising pastimes and all meals on board the ship are included in the holiday price. In most dining rooms, passengers are assigned a table with a similar mix of people. There are more solo women cruisers than men and on many ships there are carefully selected and well travelled gentleman hosts for dancing, a game of cards or a drink at the bar without any complications.Most modern cruise ships are floating resorts with numerous activities on board. Of course, if you prefer to do nothing, all have a sun deck and swimming pool. At night, Broadway-style shows and casinos, numerous bars and lounges keep you entertained.
All you need to decide is what type of cruise you would enjoy. Smart or casual? Active in the Mediterranean, broaden your horizons in Alaska or just relax in the Caribbean
