BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Elinor Ostrom, an Indiana University professor of political science and the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in economics, died Tuesday at age 78.

Flashback: Nobel winner: Small steps can curb warming

"But there are a lot of hidden costs for families and businesses" that don't decrease greenhouse gases, Ostrom said. Commuters who drive to work instead of riding a bike, for example, may not realize that they are forgoing the possible health benefits of pedaling to the office, she said...

After the talk, an audience member asked the professor if she was "optimistic or pessimistic" about the problem of greenhouse gases. Time is not on our side, Ostrom replied.

"I am talking about it because I am scared," she said.

Idiot reporter blames falling ice chunk on global warming http://www.briansussman.com/news/idiot-rep …

TV station blames falling ice chunk on global warming | Climategate Book

Hmmm. What the TV reporter failed to mention is that the home is directly in the flight path of the San Francisco International Airport. In fact the Federal Aviation Administration is looking into the matter, and checking radar data to see what aircraft were in the area at the time of the ice drop.

The TV reporter went on to link the event to global warming:

Scientists say there have been 40 cases worldwide in the last 13 years of ice plunging from the sky and not directly linked to airplanes.  The name given to them is “megacryometeors;” hail-like ice that forms without a thunderstorm. One theory blames global warming for the phenomenon.
