Let Us Know, Let Us Know, Let Us Know... About The New World Government - Minnesotans For Global Warming
By the way that's not snow, that's the Constitution being shredded and thrown around like confetti.
Climate Hubris - Yahoo! News
Maybe it's time for a little less hubris — especially on the part of the scientific community. We don't have all the answers, and we will never find them if we think we already do.
American Thinker: Global warming and the 'settled science' baloney
Mostly liberal politicians want access to unlimited tax revenues; for scientists and pseudo-scientists global warming victory is a path to prestige and grants; for large corporations it's a billion dollar market for trading in carbon credits, a market pioneered by Enron; for the hard left it's a new path to dictatorial power and control; for venture capitalists like Kleiner Perkins and green start-ups at the public trough, it's a path to alternative energy funding bonanzas; for the radical greens it's equivalent to the unquestioned adherence to a religious faith with analogs to God (the earth), priests (Al Gore), indulgences (carbon offsets), guilt (western affluence) and penance (conservation).

But none of these things can justify or excuse upending our entire financial system or tossing our economic vibrancy, freedom and very sovereignty into the cesspool of global government. That much should be settled fact.
American Thinker: Ben Franklin on Real Science
A majority of scientists believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth, when Galileo invented the telescope, observed the Solar System, and concluded that the Earth revolved around the Sun. (Contrary to popular myth, it was university professors, not the Catholic Church, who led the effort to silence Galileo. Their positions were threatened by this upstart with his new theory.)

Understanding how honest science occurs can protect you from frauds. It's not as complicated as rocket science. It can be as simple as a man flying a kite in a Philadelphia rain storm.
Interesting, Weird, and Educational Videos: Scientists Discover and Image Explosive Deep-Ocean Volcano
What you will see in the video is a spectacular sequence that is close enough to the eruption that you can actually see violent magma degassing and producing bright flashes of hot magma. The Lava gets blown up into the water and then settles back to the seafloor, while the large plugs of lava flow rapidly down the slope.
