Sorry I am sure that the Global Warming posts annoy some of you and I have somewhat decided not to post on political things anymore (don't hold me to that), but global warming is just one of those things that really gets me. It is crammed down our throats 24/7 and very few of the dissenting scientists have the courage to destroy their careers and speak up (who could blame them) and the one's who do are maligned or ignored. So whenever I see an expert speaking up I like to help spread the word.
It seems like it is getting hard to read any science article without them somehow relating it back to global warming and how we are all doomed because I drive an SUV, for example I was reading Jacob a little article in National Geographic about a scientist studying why snowflakes take on different shapes and attributes at different temperatures. It included some very cool (no pun intended) pictures of the different types of snowflakes. The article concluded with how this scientist hoped that his research would shed new light on "tipping points" in nature and help us understand global warming more. Come on the guy was looking at the shapes of snowflakes and hoping to reveal how we were all going to die in fire and brimstone b/c of our sinful lust for energy!
Anyway, below is a link to what yet another expert "Global Warming Denier" has to say.
Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide

Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth. But few listen, despite the fact that I was the first Canadian Ph.D. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition. Few listen, even though I have a Ph.D, (Doctor of Science) from the University of London, England and was a climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg. For some reason (actually for many), the World is not listening. Here is why... more
"Blubber Bots are DIY robotic species that navigate autonomously and intelligently. Blubber Bots float, dance, seek and sing. They are light-seeking helium-filled balloons that graze the landscape in search of light and cell-phone signals. If you make a call and wave your phone near a Blubber Bot, it will go into a flocking dance or sing you a special tune. They bellow sounds similar to a whale’s song and serenade you with melodies. When not being played with, they rest for awhile, awakening periodically and seeking attention...
