I'm not trying to be a hater, but I do want people to get what they deserve...and in this instance I believe those that ignore and deny that AGW is real and in part their fault (and every thing I read and all actual scientists I talk to agree that nearly ALL scientists agree that AGW is real and happening now, contrary to your claim that only 4% agree) deserve to have their offspring eat them alive when the food runs out due to their denial based actions.
Really, you claim you personally spoke to "most climate scientists"?!? So now I know for certain that YOU are just a bold faced liar, because that's an impossibility. ;-)
But I already did my hair and put my party dress on, I'm crashing your party! I'll hide among the other scientists and you'll never notice me until the lampshade hat goes on and I climb onto the bar to dance badly to Bolero.
I am 100% certain that either you or Obama has made a mistake here...4% is an exaggeration of the number of scientists that DON'T theorize that AGW is real, not the other way around. Someone got the wires crossed.
It's a poor argument, when presented with facts that are contrary to your theory, to reply with 'who cares what you think'...but perhaps the best argument against my statements that you have?
I do walk to work, in my own yard. I have a vegi garden and an orchard. I do eat mostly just my own vegis, but not completely, there's also chicken and pork that I don't raise myself (but source locally). My beef intake is miniscule. I drive minimally, well under 5K per year (still adding to the problem, agreed, but far less than average), I don't have children (the best and most useful thing one can do for the massively overpopulated planet IMO) and try at every opportunity to convince others to not have them either, I do have solar panels AND hot water tubes, I do grow >90% of my (and my wife's) food. Most of those things I do because they save me money, because as I said, I have no personal incentive to "save the planet" for more than 40+- years, and I also don't think it's possible at this point. I can try to not add to the problem as much as possible, but at the same time I don't let my methods rule or ruin my life. It's my opinion that the time to minimize AGW was in the 80's, when it was completely ignored, and that now it's far too late to minimize things, the system reacts slowly and the last century of CO2 (and others) will continue to effect the system long after we stop adding more...and I think we're already to the point where that unavoidable rise in temp will melt methalhydrates, giving us boiling oceans on fire and at least another 5 deg of near instant temperature rise (likely far more). The tipping point was back when we could avoid that, and I have been convinced by data that that time came and went long ago and now we're hosed.
I will concede that the ONN is a GREAT place for 'news'.
And don't be a hater man... I don't have any children (unlike all the other people contributing to "overpopulation," or whatever your idea is about people with children).
In any case, I spoke to most climate scientists. They disagree with your points.
And the only party I have is the one you are not invited to. But there's a good number of scientist invited though.
The 4% statistic is in the report that Obama cited.
Maybe what I say is asinine in your view, but who really cares what you think?
And what exactly are you doing to fix the problem? I don't know, but there's a good chance I have less of a carbon footprint than you do. Unless of course you walk to work, eat vegetarian, have no children, drive electric, etc. have solar panels at home. You know, the basics.
Take deep slow breaths.
Don't buy plastic.
Or smoke.
Grow my own fruit in the yard.
But let's not jump to conclusions. What do you do (besides attacking people's views online)?

I can't bring up the Bolero Video you posted a while back. I think it's the one I've been looking for for years. Do you know how can I get this video?
5 ways to know you are watching a Spielberg Movie
Modern Era being say, last thirty-forty years but not the last fifty to seventy though. He's as fantastic a composer for the formulaic music he creates-I agree he ranks among the greats of cinematic composition but his claim to fame being so ingrained in pop culture with Star Wars for me means he kinna squeaked-into the realm of 20th century American composers like Copeland. Bernstein, or Gershwin. I dunno, he's more like a Howard Shore or Hans Zimmer for me, not quite reaching the all-star team of 20th century long-haired first-stringers.
Maybe I'm simply prejudiced against the all-consuming cheese-fog of Star Wars, Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, etc. Maybe I'll try the experiment of listening to one of his compositions without the backdrop of a film. No wait, see I did that-In 77' I bought the double LP of the Star Wars soundtrack (yahhh, I was frikkin' 12) and got bored with it-Never get bored listening to Grofé's Grand Canyon Suite or Ravel's Bolero, though!
John Williams is a fantastic composer.
Some people might call this heresy, but personally I think he should be ranked up there with Beethoven and Tchaikovsky for grandiose orchestral music.
He's certainly the greatest composer of the modern era.

Bolero - Brass Band Berlin - Fun Introduction of Musicians
I felt the same way at first...but they one me back with the ending. I felt overall it was sift worthy...but agree the 1 min dixieland version could have been left out. From what I understand all the numbers performed by these guys are done with the idea of having fun with the piece and with a sense of humor.>> ^jqpublick:
Here are my thoughts for the first 6 minutes and three seconds of this video:
"Wow, this is actually pretty good, the band's not bad... a few flubs but not too bad, but it's a difficult piece... hey nice! soprano sax... now the band's all here, are they -- oh God, no oh shit no, nonononononono... "
So. No upvote from me, unless I can colour it hubris.

A HUGE thank you for this....... probably the most original thing I've seen in months. I have no idea how old this video is but I detect a major Terry Gilliam influence, I hereby declare this

It's actually from the very Fantasia-esque Italian film Allegro non troppo, which came out in 1976.

Amazing syncronized dance of 20 humanoid robots
At the start I kept expecting the music to kicking into Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy. Bolero's grand too though
8 mo old deaf baby's reaction to cochlear implant
>> ^rgroom1:
It's still kind of sad. A cochlear implant still sounds like satan speaking to you. They can only pick certain spots on the cochlea to stimulate, so the implant only allows you to hear certain frequencies. Better than nothing, but far from normal hearing. Either way, HOORAY SCIENCE!
it can be helped a lot by upgrading the firmware to have "virtual" stimulation points.
nice article about it in Wired a while back.
