Global cooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere along with a posited commencement of glaciation. This hypothesis never had significant scientific support, but gained temporary popular attention due to a combination of press reports that did not accurately reflect the scientific understanding of ice age cycles, and a slight downward trend of temperatures from the 1940s to the early 1970s. Mainstream scientific opinion is that the Earth has not durably cooled, but undergone global warming throughout the 20th century.

Oops. That's what happens when you try to parrot talking points without understanding them.

Reasons to be fearful: Democrats face triple whammy for elections

Historians may some day praise Mr Obama's vision and bold ambitions but at this point at least, the public is sceptical and his party apprehensive they may pay the price next year. Ultimately, the direction of the economy and specifically jobs, and how the war in Afghanistan goes over the next ten months will be the critical factors in next year's elections. But there is no question, Democrats are anxious and have much to be worried about.

It is conventional wisdom that the party out of power makes some modest strides in the midterm elections. I have little reason to doubt the convention.

It is conventional wisdom that the party out of power makes some modest strides in the midterm elections. I have little reason to doubt the convention.

It isn't so much conventional wisdom as it is notable historical fact, although the GOP bucked it in 2002.

If the economy doesn't show improvement to the point where the average person can notice it, though, things will go very badly indeed for the Democrats. Same if there are tax increases of any sort. Likewise, if the economy noticeably improves, the Dems stand to reap the benefits. Apart from that, it's still too early to tell what will happen.

By May or June, though, things may be clearer.

OK, that's enough.

So, we went and saw Avatar this morning, in 3D. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended, especially if you can find a 3D theater nearby. This technology has come a long way, and is now nearly flawless, to the point where you almost immediately forget you're wearing the glasses and simply accept the addition of depth to the scene.

And yes, as many, many others have pointed out, this is Dances With Wolves all over again - but now with heart-pounding alien action sequences! Actually, the movie it reminded me of most wasn't DWW, but another Cameron effort - Aliens. In both cases, I left the theatre physically exhausted after a couple hours of non-stop, fast-paced action and a predictable but enjoyable emotional rollercoaster. The two are very similar in structure, if not in plot, and nobody pushes emotional buttons like Cameron.

Yes, Cameron paints with a broad, nearly mile-wide brush, and invokes fistfuls of cliches and stereotypes along the way. If you're looking for political material to gripe about (or praise) you won't have to dig very deep. In my opinion, though, all of this is overridden by the sheer entertainment value.

The CGI makes this one of the few movies I would say really ought to be seen in a theater setting. It is incredibly lush, deeply layered and nearly flawless, creating a totally believable - and intensely alien - landscape that practically swallows the viewer whole. And the blending of live action and CGI has never, ever been done better; it is completely seamless. Utterly gorgeous work, and it sets the bar several notches higher for whoever follows in this genre.

This is probably the first movie in decades that I wouldn't at all mind going back to the theater again to see a second time. Don't hesitate to see it - you won't be disappointed.

I think he confused canadian club with canadian whisky in general, some of which can be very budget friendly.

CC is a blend.

The dude's DAD ratted him out and he didn't make some kind of list?

This is in the story:

His information about the son was forwarded to the National Counter-Terrorism Center, and the son was added to a general watch list, a data base of suspected terrorists. But the official said "the info on him was not deemed specific enough to pull his visa or put him on a no-fly list."

This thread is like a 30-clowncar pileup. I'm not sure whether to laugh or be horrified.

Horrifying! How many clowns would be in a 30 clowncar pileup?

(OT... how do they do that? Always blew my mind.)

Which is why I now have a rule that when the first beer is poped, the posting stops.

Blessed beer?

Again I would like to thank Charles for those Amazon links.

Thanks for the tip, Charles. In addition to the books I was seeking, I picked up the used digital camera I was seeking at a very nice price - even cheaper than eBay.

I usually carry a camera with me when I go biking. How about you?
