PBS for News
We have PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and the 'CW'; Don't need cable, we have the interwebz!!! We get Netflix movies, and buy dvds..cheaper than cable and a rocking dvd collection too!

So many books, so little time! I've read thousands.

Philosophy, comparative religion, psychology, sociology, history, even read the Bible all the way through (the one best verse: Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8), anthropology, historical fiction, science fiction, some creepy (Stephen King) and some fantasy (Orson Scott Card), etc.

I'm researching Diesm now, the religion of some of our founding fathers.Looks pretty close to my thoughts.

‘Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.’-Marcus Aurelius

  • Here's something on climate. Cannot get email to work properly, so delete this when you're done:

    Here's one exchange I had on another board on which I no longer am active. There are others on the same board in other subcategories.

    http://edschultz.invisionzone...

    The particular question I've been interested in is the size of the carbon reservoir in which anthropogenic CO2 is mixed, and the exchange rate between the atmosphere, the surface ocean and the deep ocean. The problem for the IPCC is that the total amount of carbon people are putting into the atmosphere, and are likely to put in in the future, is quite small compared to the total reserve of exchangeable carbon. This excess carbon only is a problem if it remains in the atmosphere or, to a lesser extent, in the very surface of the ocean. The IPCC model has anthropogenic CO2 doing just that, but it is my no means certain that the assumptions behind this predicted behavior are justified. It boils down to how sensitive to small perturbations the climate really is. The IPCC models the climate as extremely sensitive, but there is evidence suggesting the opposite.

    There are a lot of other questions as well. The basic relationship between greenhouse gases and temperature is not very well constrained. In other words, exactly how much warming a given increase in PCO2 will produce is not a settled question. The formula the IPCC uses predicts only a modest ca 1.5˚C rise based on doubling atmospheric CO2-- the much larger forecast temperature rises are based on positive feedback with water vapor and methane, but these kind of secondary effects are extremely hard to predict and notoriously inaccurate.

    The basic point is that no one reading the primary literature with an open mind possibly could come away with the idea that there is a consensus on the subject of climate change. And the primary literature is the ONLY thing worth reading, and even then with extreme caution. The subject has become so politicized, on all sides, that it is nearly impossible to come to an informed opinion on the question as a whole, only on little parts of it.

    On construction sites, magnets are dragged around from time to time to collect loose screws, dropped nails, sheet metal slivers, etc..for safety. Sarah Palin has enthusiastically volunteered to drag herself around to collect all the loose wingnuts.I endorse her selflessness and strategy - if they are firmly attached to a weighty object not going anywhere, they are far less dangerous.

  • A sustainable alternative to the financial meltdown

"The wreckage of an unsustainable financial system could turn out to be the best catalyst for a more sustainable alternative." I think the same way about the wreckage in our political arena. I'm thankful Obama didn't wait til 2012 to run. He understands that cleaner technology can be a new economic engine for our country, among the many other long term and sustainable agendas he has proposed. Real long term progress instead of flashy, temporary, incomplete band-aids...Nice change of pace. Too bad they had to go broke before he could get in there, but I think it would take things getting this bad before the majority would allow such a big change in focus. Greed without consideration, in style since the eighties. Long term planning, priceless. majority change focus greed consideration style eighties term planning priceless

How about investing in alternative energy as not only energy, but as an economic engine to drive us into the 21st century? I am happy to say that, months ago, President-Elect Obama was talking about doing this! With all the jobs being lost in the last year, it will probably be a good thing he was thinking ahead...Maybe, hopefully... the best opportunity for alternate energy since I started hearing about it in the 70's (more)
