Hockey Stick

This post has been added to show that the time is not now to begin looking for ways to combat global warming. The earth gets warmer and colder at various times due to natural variances in temperature and from other natural forces outside of man's influence. It is foolish for policy makers and scientists who think that the earth is billions of years old, to get concerned over one-hundred years of data. Should a long-term investor get spooked at his stock declining by a penny in the last five minutes of trading on a monday afternoon? Any long-term investor would find such a move completely inconclusive because long-term price changes are more important than "blips" in the price over a small amount of time. For the purposes of climate study, I assert that one-hundred years of temperature data is just such a "blip" of data and does not represent enough evidence to make conclusions about long-term trends in the climate.

Scientists are biased. Think about how they are paid and what makes a science career successful.

The Change has hit it right on the money (what does that phrase mean anyway...) Everyone knows that tourism and entertainment are the next big It. Fishing and survival skills are so 20th century. One could presumably surf AND fish, though, and it would probably build hand-eye coordination, which would inevitably help native fishermen land computer jobs, another big It. Plus, the lack of real revenue from fishing operations would force the fishermen-cum-surfers to become creative on their tax returns, again reinforcing the 21st century skills of accountancy and financial malfeasance.

Our bodies are mostly water too, right? Haven't we always been told to be at one with nature? Isn't this backlash against H2O by nature-lovers contradictory?

Press on, blogger. You're doing us all a favor...
