Experts Ignore Record High June Antarctic Ice « the Air Vent

After beginning my usual boring sea ice post, I ran across the NSIDC news story on sea ice. You know the unbiased scientific review of the conditions of sea ice globally. I’m pissed off now that they would post this kind of rubbish. Previously, I’ve been complimentary of the NSIDC, but this story is way over the top. It reads like a Joe Romm post more than a scientific one. It’s a prayer to the gods of AGW, a worship at the altar of funding and a blatant attempt to leave layman’s heads full of global warming cobwebs.
...
It seems we have a record June in the Antarctic as well.

What is amazing is the story that the NSIDC told. I don’t know who writes for the NSIDC, but the bias is incredible. Not only do they fail to recognize the record HIGH ice in the Antarctic they do everything to cover it up from laymen. They don’t even mention the Antarctic except for three small paragraphs at the bottom of a long dry discussion of Arctic ice loss and weather.

Get drivers to slow down (and save fuel) by making it fun | Grist

From the people who brought you piano stairs comes an idea for getting more drivers to obey speed limits. "Fun theory award" winner Kevin Richardson suggests making it "fun" to drive the speed limit by entering lawful drivers in a lottery and awarding cash prizes to some. Money could come from fining speeders, although that stretches most definitions of fun.

It's silly, and a thousand problems would come up in execution, but it is, theoretically, a green idea, as speeding wastes fuel. Most car engines are most efficient around 50 mph and nearly as efficient between 30 and 55 mph, as Clark Williams-Derry explains. Since highway driving is generally much faster than 50, slowing down generally saves fuel.
