Global Warming on Free Republic

True enough. The ones on the govt grant money teat are complete whores.
This area simply does not get this type of heat and are not prepared for it. Very few homes or apts. have air conditioning; and this type of heat defeats most fans.

Scientist politicizing science is amazed at being criticized for politicizing science.
The ACS is as liberal as all of the other professional organizations. I dropped my membership years ago because of the extremely liberal positions they take on a number of subjects. They are simply another liberal lobbying group and no longer a scientific professional organization.
It seems they have been losing membership for years. It used to be that one had to be recommended by a member to join. Now they send out pre-approved applications. I am through with them, however. Their applications go straight to the trash can.
Not going to happen. This bill has nothing to do with climate, and everything to do with confiscating your money and your freedom.
Well, according to the pecking order, God talks to Mathematicians, Mathematicians talk to Physicists, and Physicists talk to Chemists (so we chemists are considered a bit more mundane than the "lofty ones").
Mr. Baum is the reason I quit the ACS several years back.
Makes me want to join again so I can jump on the bandwagon!
I'm preparing a blazing letter even as we speak -- the trick will be getting my highly reasonable and mild-tempered husband to sign off on it. I'll probably have to edit down the nastiest bits.
Bump......
You certainly have a point.
But to compare Obama to dog crap is probably an insult to dogs.
Looks like Rudy doesn’t even have a BS in Chemistry. Hardly qualified to comment on anything beyond opening a beer.

thanks, bfl
FINALLY the worm has turned.
I have worked on my fellow scientists (physicists, math, computer, astronomy mostly) for the last decade and more, asking them to stop accepting the statements of the IPCC and the politicians and to look into the science themselves. It is not hard to understand. It is just that they couldn’t see the reason to spend their time there.
All of them have had experience (much of it bad) with computer models and understand the limitations. All have experience with major revisions of theories that were found wanting after investigation. All have had experience with the hard lessons of science that extrapolations are seldom accurate.
Yet, most of them simply accepted the climate researchers models were just fine, and they didn’t really understand the lack of accuracy of the temperature records, either. Now that the models are being shown to be wanting, and the problems with the surface and ocean temperature measurements are being detailed more and more, it is becoming obvious to many of these folks that their blind acceptance was not intellectually honest.
As I’ve said to many, “the IPCC accepts an amplification factor for CO2 that they have no honest explanation for, however they refuse to accept a similar amplification factor for the effect of changing solar radiation.” Now that Solanki has been able to get the world’s ear with the cosmic ray hypothesis as a possible amplifier, many are willing to listen. They should have similarly paid heed to the fact that clouds and aerosols are not at all understood.
I am breathing a sigh of relief right now: it is really brinksmanship, but there may be a possibility that honest scientists will come to America’s rescue in time.
Major thanks is due to all the incredible scientists who have persisted in the face of such horrible abuse of the scientific method over the last two decades.
Let’s hope this gets through the thick skulls of the politicians in time.
