So, apparently scientists are really close to creating what they call “artificial life.” What does this mean exactly? Basically, a synthetic cell of artificial life created out of the same materials in DNA - in other words, microscopic life, not mail-order blonde artificial life brides.
I bring this up because of two collective issues: it’s important, […]
Ah, hurricane season: when Today Show reporters dress in windbreakers and do live reports while leaning 45 degrees to the right, conservatives predict liberals are going to whine about global warming, and liberals whine about global warming.
As you’re well aware, Hurricane Dean absolutely charged on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico at Category Five strength, weakening […]
An article in the Washington Post has claimed “Arctic Ocean getting warm; seals vanish and icebergs melt,” saying that great masses of ice have melted and even well-known glaciers have totally dissintegrated.The decade after that was one of the hottest ever, with four of the hottest years on record taking place in that decade alone.
Of […]
A very interesting article out of Canada.com (The National Post), which talks about our current science’s inability to understand climate change and the effect humans have on it.
We are assured by everyone from David Suzuki to Al Gore to Prime Minister Stephen Harper that “the science is settled.”…The fact that science is many years away […]
My first thoughts on the gas tax are this:
Meh. Gas tax. Tax = bad.
So it’s a good thing I don’t live in Canada. Their Hippie Party Green Party is calling for a 12-cent gas tax to help decrease usage of gas. Remember, they go by the liter up there.
Oddly enough, their […]
CNN had an interesting story today about how 1 billion people are currently at risk if sea levels were to suddenly rise.
If any of my readers are mad scientists who want to learn how to threaten the world, here are some fun facts:
A 30 meter rise in sea level would submerge Miami and most of […]
As an avid anti-feminist, there was a day in science that I knew was possible and was afraid might happen: Men getting booted out of the procreation process.
It sounds weird, since we have vital a part in makin’ babies - sperm and all that. So we got that going for us…
Don’t we?
According to […]
Global warming is as devisive as anything else in our bipolar nation lately, so I’m always looking for some good old evidence to support my own viewpoint that even if it does exist, it’s not as bad as people think.
My theory is you always have to be wary of fear-based ideology. It can’t be good […]
Not exactly sure who this James Spann is (some weatherguy from Alabama), but I like his pixie drink. In a post here, he completely denies global warming, and says that the Weather Channel is inappropriately jumping into the political arena by claiming it’s real:
I have been in operational meteorology since 1978, and I know dozens […]
This is why I support the space program. We spend trillions of dollars every year on idiots who won’t put the government’s social security, healthcare, and unemployment to good use, and NASA gets a measely $17 billion.
Friday the 13th of April 2029 could be a very unlucky day for planet Earth. At 4:36 am Greenwich […]
