Video: Flogging the Scientists

EnvironmentMarch 2010 • Views: 2,534

Environmentalist Peter Sinclair fires off some pretty good snark at the climate change denial community in his new video, “Flogging the Scientists.” The title comes from denial mob leader Marc Morano, who said about climate scientists, “They deserve to be publicly flogged.”

(Morano’s extreme punishment fantasy sounds oddly similar to what shrieking harpy Pamela Geller said last year about yours truly. What is it with wingnuts and sadistic fantasies?)

It’s not all snark, though. Sinclair also points out some especially outrageous cases of the distortions and lies for which deniers are infamous. And it’s in 720p too.

NASA finds shrimp dinner on ice beneath Antarctica

In a surprising discovery about where higher life can thrive, scientists for the first time found a shrimp-like creature and a jellyfish frolicking beneath a massive Antarctic ice sheet.
Six hundred feet below the ice where no light shines, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes could exist.

That's why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera's cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle they believe came from a foot-long jellyfish.

"We were operating on the presumption that nothing's there," said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler, who will be presenting the initial findings and a video at an American Geophysical Union meeting Wednesday. "It was a shrimp you'd enjoy having on your plate."

"We were just gaga over it," he said of the 3-inch-long, orange critter starring in their two-minute video. Technically, it's not a shrimp. It's a Lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to shrimp.

Mixed-gender dorm rooms are gaining acceptance

Their room, which shares a tiny bathroom with two men next door, has the usual collegiate trappings of beer bottles and political posters. The only unusual sight is women's clothes in one closet and men's in another.

The pair seem to have a warm brotherly-sisterly friendship and, while they try to be respectful, they say they are not inhibited about being in underwear or even nude while changing clothes in the room. They insist their living situation does not interfere with romantic relationships with other people. And although they have not been teased on campus, they face curious questions from relatives and friends.

"I definitely think it's generational," said Eland, 20, of Seattle. "For my grandparents, living with someone of the opposite sex, if he is not your serious boyfriend or husband or brother, would be very strange."

Men and women are equal because they are not different anymore.

My grandparents freaked out when they found out that I regularly lived with male roommates and that it was considered by youngins like me to be no big deal and completely normal.

I was a good granddaughter though and didn't tell them when in one living situation we actually shared a bed for a few hours every night. He worked a late shift and got home at 3am. I worked an early shift and was up by 6:30 am. It was just a practical arrangement.

Do not be proud of the fact that your grandmother was shocked at something which you are accustomed to seeing or hearing without being shocked. There are two meanings of the word 'nervous' and it is not even a physical superiority to be actually without nerves. It may mean that your grandmother was an extremely lively and vital animal, and that you are a paralytic.

My other grandmother was very much a modern gal for her time when she met and married my Grandfather. She had gone to college and was supporting herself when they met at some sort of summer church retreat for young people. Since they lived far apart story that we were told was that they wrote letters back and forth for about 6 months and eventually decided to get married.

Last year Mom was sorting through some boxes from the attic and came across some letters from my Grandmothers sister. We were tickled to discover that the real story didn't match up with the officially sanctioned version. Grandma borrowed her parents car a few times for a 'ladies' weekend vacation and accidentally found herself visiting Grandpa. She also went and stayed with him and his family for a few weeks for a couple of summers. That doesn't sound like a big deal but I guess it was something that was kept rather hush hush at the time because in her sisters letters there were comments about keeping it secret from their grandparents (my great great grandparents) and family friends.

Here's the story on Beck reply to a dialog request with Wallis.

Beck.

Well that provides some context. I was trying to figure out what he meant from that quote you posted.

So it sounds like he's going to go after Sojourners.

That should go well.

I thought putting blankets over tables to make a fort was the best play ever. Couch cushion forts too. Fun pictures.

Yes, one on the other side of the looking glass. With a Lewis Carrol inspired cast of characters:

Rodan: The Jabberwock
Chen Zhen: Tweedledum
Snork: Tweedledumder
taxfreekiller: the hooka-smoking caterpillar
Possum: Third Ass From the Left

Feel free to suggest your own character analogies.

It pretty much sums Hammer up.

And "the hammer is my penis" has become something of a catch-phrase around my house.

The "off with their heads!" attitude.

My only comment on IR is that for someone who claimed to be so anti-stalker and anti-the stalking site, she's sure doing a great imitation of a deranged obsessive hater.

It may mean that your grandmother was an extremely lively and vital animal, and that you are a paralytic.

It could also mean that my grandmother was a sheltered, under exposed prude, and that I simply have more experience with the real world than her.

Sometimes, trying to refrain from an "I told you so" is very, very difficult. Please forgive me for pointing a few things out and having some pride.

Starting almost a year ago, I was called all manner of names for saying that the best science I knew predicts a sea level rise in the two meter range by the end of the century.

I was called alarmist.

I was called shrieking.

I had my credentials questioned as a standard tactic.

I had pearl clutching non-scientists who knew nothing of the field, boldly pronouncing that I could not possibly be a scientist for saying such "chicken little" things.

And yet, what is it that the actual papers, that I draw my information from, say?

Right now the consensus is seal level rises in the 2 meter range by the end of the century. Important thought - what does a six foot rise do to some place like NY and what does that do to America?

If I am telling you science that you haven't heard it is because I am an actual scientist who keeps up with the field. It takes a few months to even a year for things to filter through the MSM.

It is also important to note the rank hypocrisy of the other side. The IPCC and the Sidall paper (with their low ball estimates, one for political reasons and the other for honest error) were held up as evidence that "it could not possibly be that bad" and taken as the word of G-d despite all of the other data and science that was pointed out.

Right? I couldn't possibly be a scientist because of this?

And it is even more interesting to note that the deniers, who used to hold Sidall and the low ball predictions up as some sort of evidence for their side, now see the retraction of Sidall as evidence that the science is wrong. Nope, Sidall's paper was brought in line with the rest of the evidence. Things are much worse than it says. That is evidence that AGW is worse and not better. So it is interesting that the paper that these folks championed as questioning AGW, getting retracted suddenly becomes just some paper that was retracted (as if they were not trumpeting it as proof a few months ago) suddenly become by dint of retraction more "evidence" for their unreasoning side.

So a paper that seems to question AGW by being lowball is evidence until it is retracted as wrong - and then the retraction itself makes all of science wrong.
