Some are just more gaping than others. Consider this rather exact analogy to our current political situation: So, Imagine that the company you work for held a poll, and asked everyone if they thought it would be a good idea to put a soda machine in the break room. The poll came back, and the majority of your colleagues said Yes, indicating that they would like a soda machine. Some said no, but the majority said yes. So, a week later, there's a soda machine. Now imagine that Bill in accounting voted against the soda machine. He has a strong hatred for caffeinated soft drinks, thinks they are bad you you, whatever. He campaigns throughout the office to get the machine removed. Well, management decides OK, we'll ask again and again, the majority of people say Yes, lets keep the soda machine. Bill continues to campaign, and management continues to ask the employees, and every time, the answer is in favor of the soda machine. This happens, lets say... 35 times. Eventually, Bill says OK, I'M NOT PROCESSING PAYROLL ANYMORE UNTIL THE SODA MACHINE IS REMOVED, so nobody will get paid unless management removes the machine. What should we do??? Answer: Fire Bill and get someone who will do the fucking job. Bonus: Bill tells everyone that he was willing to Negotiate, to come to a solution where everyone got their payroll checks, but only so long as that negotiation capitulated to his demand to remove the soda machine. Bill is a fucking jackass.

First, he agreed that there was clear climate change, that's simply a matter of record keeping. Second: he could not then discern clear research that it was due to pollution. Thus I'd guess he'd say, Good more research is a good thing! .. And he'd stick with the difficulty of experiment, but would as he did then, wish to decrease pollution. -- Owen On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 8:19 PM, Nick Thompson nickthomp...@earthlink.netwrote: Owen, ** ** What do you think paleo guy would say after reading the new report? ** ** N ** ** Nicholas S.

Re: [FRIAM] Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog : Landmark 2013 IPCC Report: 95% Chance Most of Global Warming is Human-Caused | Weather Underground
Here's a new thought: What is more important .. the increase in civilian deaths in jihadist warfare or the number of deaths being caused by climate change? This comes from Papa Francesco's impatient sighs about the west's focus on trivialities like gays and women in the church, contraception, abortion and so on when grinding poverty, death by pollution and warfare, inability to negotiate/live in peace, AIDs and so on. The west is as children, not adults. The southern hemisphere really has a completely different take on What's Important. The tough question for us is: Just how important is climate change? Is it more important than warfare? I think about that, as a catholic/christian because I now live in the era of greatest martyrdom in the history of christianity. Ditto martyrdom amongst islam. So as much as I abhor the arrogant pollution of our planet, I have now started to think of the whole world's problems. And I can't say what is the most important, at this point. But I'm working on it!

Re: [FRIAM] Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog : Landmark 2013 IPCC Report: 95% Chance Most of Global Warming is Human-Caused | Weather Underground
Robert - Here's an interesting take on the issue. What do insurance companies think about climate change? http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/15/business/insurers-stray-from-the-conservative-line-on-climate-change.html Good contribution. I don't know if this helps with Nick's pursuit of a rational discussion but I think the point made here is highly relevant: Science seeks mechanisms of causality that explain as well as predict, often studying correlation along the way to get to it. Insurance companies are happy with correlation and prediction... they don't *care* what causes what, they only care that one measurable thing predicts (within some interval of confidence) another. I think your point is well taken, however: While highly politicized discussions may argue over whether climate change is afoot, insurance companies don't waste their breath on such arguments. Whatever the cause of the weather may be, they are betting on more and more extreme weather. Unfortunately, I think it benefits their business to *over* estimate extreme climate... it lets them charge higher rates to anyone *near* hurricane, tsunami, flood, or tornado country for said coverage... the best scenario for them is to predict more extreme weather than actually happens. Similarly, I was surprised to see this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/09/25/here-is-every-previous-government-shutdown-why-they-happened-and-how-they-ended/ Again, the stock market is somewhat humorless about world events... following the efficient market hypothesis, it doesn't really care about political correctness or the illusions caste by politicians with agendas. The financial markets are a huge crowd-sourced prediction game. On the other hand, to the extent those who are *analysing* the stock market's response to government closures might have the agenda of a bull or bear's desire. While the stock market is not so much responsive to the then illusions of politics, that is not to say it doesn't ride the crests and troughs of it's own greatest hopes and fears. I *am* surprised however, that the stock market took a small bump upwards today in spite of or is it because of the shutdown? How does a government shutdown bode well for the financial markets? I assume it is more in spite of than because of the shutdown... or some kind of reverse psychology effect... all the savvy players taking advantage of the chicken littles willing to unload their stocks at a bargain in the face of uncertainty? For those of us who might want to put our money where our mouths are http://tippie.uiowa.edu/iem/markets/congress14.html... the Iowa Futures Market explore this in predicting interesting things such as the outcome of political contests.
