Waiting for Feynman

It's gonna be a long long wait.

"LA Times
Re “Climate change dust-up,” Nov. 22 and “A legal dry hole,” Editorial, Nov. 22

It will be interesting if the hacker who reportedly broke into the secret climate files will try the same defense as the student who disrupted the oil lease sale. His motive? To dramatize the climate issue before the politicians who have already made a mess of things do irreparable harm to the economy at their upcoming U.N. climate conclave in Copenhagen.

There is a larger issue here, though, and it shouts out from the files that have been released so far: cognitive dissonance. If climate change is indeed such a serious problem, why do they send in the B-team to solve it?The filched files reveal an appallingly low level of comprehension and competence among those entrusted with such critical research.

This is where we need another Richard Feynman, someone with the integrity and ability to seek the truth, however the chips may fall. Otherwise the public is bound to ask: If you don't think this is worth the very best science available, why should we care?

A Simple Case of Action-Reaction



Blind Obamaphilia, meet Comeuppance [this for us, and for the Danes]

Sounds like someone from FCP, who shall remain nameless, or just call him "Not From Planet Pepe", left this comment:
"America should have a cowboy in the White House. Cowboys are intelligent without being intellectual. They're simple without being simplistic. They are straight forward and don't see seventeen shades of gray when they don't exist. They'll stand beside you when your fair-weather friends desert you and they understand the supreme virtue of action. Every free nation, not just America, should have a cowboy-type leader. Cowboys should be looked upon as a positive, though it's not surprising that most of Europe and, sadly, a good portion of America don't grasp this. They're too sophisticated to. "
