And the United States is in the Balance:

Take a look at this:

Then try to explain to me how the science has not been polluted by politics. I don't think it can be done. I think this post will be very carefully ignored.

...in other words, the sampling for this global warming is narrower than in the past?
Todays WSJ has an op ed piece by the president of the czech republic on his dissent on global warming. Interesting stuff.
So guys, are you going to the giant protest at the Democratic national convention that International Answer, code pink, United for Peace and Justice and the Peoples' Global Action are going stage there? You two sound like you are tired of being sold out by the Democratic Party and are ready to demand your rights. You seem like you are ready to stand against capitalism, racism, imperialism, ism-ism and badness by helping us wreck up the Denver walmart and starbucks franchises. Come join us in the 'mile HIGH' city... WINK... and lob a few molotov cocktails for peace.
Pack your bags you crazy kids, it should be more fun then burning man kuz we are going to scare the hell out of the corp-rat fascists!
Anyone but Bush in 08!!!!!

Blaming people like Starbucks and Walmart for society's problems is the mark of radicals. It's cute to be a radical, but you just get nothing done.No one dislikes liberals more than me, but the dem party has done some pretty noble things.
Go back to the dorm, get rid of your stsh and start living your life.
Not only is it narrower, it is badly degraded and biased toward showing a warming trend. There is a station in Louisiana that has been in the same spot for 100 years. It shows no trend in temperature in either direction, up or down. It is no longer referenced. Why? Because it does not fit with the rest of the data coming in. This would be the logical thing to do until you realized that the condition of the terrain around that station have remained unchanged and that nearly 55% of the other stations are in parking lots, on roof tops or next to the exhaust of air conditioners.
In one sense there is definitely some climate change going on. City climates are vastly different from ex-urban climates, but this is not a global change in climate. There has been no detectable change in the way the atmosphere works and there is no reason to believe that increases carbon dioxide concentrations are forcing climate change.
Nearly all of the perceived climate change is being caused by so many of us living in cities.
Blind acceptance of data certainly has an effect on this theory, to be sure. Data collection is, by no means, ironclad. Mostof all, manipulation of siad data is the place where the greatest abuse of the scientific method can happen.
Some very notable folks are starting to question this mess.
Fascist war criminal!

Revisiting Obama's Church
Obama embraced more than Christ when he answered the altar call two decades ago at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Southside Chicago. The 8,000-member church describes itself as 'unashamedly black' and holds classes in 'African-centered Bible study.'
He also pledged to honor something called the 'Black Value System,' a cultlike code of nonbiblical ethics written by blacks for blacks. It preaches a radically exclusive theology that contradicts the tenets of Christianity.
Since we first drew attention to the Afrocentric system more than a year ago ('Obama's Real Faith,' Jan. 22, 2007), the church has removed it from the 'About Us' page of its Web site, replacing the entire section with a glowing video testimonial from a white official with its parent United Church of Christ.
But according to the original Web page, Trinity puts the 'black community' first.
Black members are encouraged to pursue education and skills exclusively to advance their community, and allocate their money exclusively to support 'black institutions' and black leaders who 'embrace the Black Value System.'
In short, it preaches from the gospel of blackness and black power. There's little room for white Christians at Obama's church. It attacks the pursuit of 'middleclassness' (code for whiteness), arguing that middleclassness is a conspiracy by white leaders to keep talented African-Americans 'captives.'
Trinity warns them not to be seduced by it, even though millions of blacks have benefited from homeownership and crime-free suburban living.
Obama, meanwhile, has been getting in touch with his African roots. He recently visited relatives in Kenya for the first time, and dropped the nickname Barry for the more African-sounding Barack.
'I believe in the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change,' he recently asserted. He said his faith has also led him to question the idolatry of the free market. This reflects Trinity church doctrine that no African-American can really rise to the top echelons of a 'racist, competitive' white society on merit.
Obama, in turn, calls the dashiki-wearing pastor of this militantly black church his 'spiritual adviser' and mentor. 'It was the best education I ever had,' he has said of his indoctrination by Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
He sought Wright's counsel before running for president. Wright married him and baptized his daughters.
Obama borrowed the title of his memoir 'Audacity of Hope' from a Wright sermon. (Trinity hawks that book and another book by Obama on its Web site, and has sponsored book-signing events for Obama at the church, which happens to be the largest recipient of the Obamas' charitable donations.)
Their close relationship is especially disturbing. By any objective measure, Wright is an America-hating race-monger. He blames practically every ill on 'white America,' including 9/11. Just this past November, he honored bigoted Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan with a 'lifetime achievement' award presented in Wright's name.
Wright gushed in a cover profile of Farrakhan in his church's magazine that his old pal Farrakhan — who has bashed whites as 'blue-eyed devils' and Jews as 'bloodsuckers' — should be a model for blacks because he 'truly epitomized greatness.'
In the '80s, the two traveled to Libya together to pay homage to terrorist Muammar Qaddafi.
Farrakhan last month endorsed Obama. While the Democratic front-runner distanced himself from Farrakhan, albeit belatedly and under media pressure, he still has not distanced himself from Wright.
Obama says he respects his preacher and is 'proud' of their friendship, as well as his church, which proclaims: 'We are an African people, and remain true to our native land, the mother continent.' In a 2006 interview with BeliefNet.com, Obama called Wright 'one of the greatest preachers in the country.'
The Trinity Web site greets visitors with an image of the African continent and the sound of congo drums. Trinitarians, it explains, have a 'nonnegotiable commitment to Africa.' What about America? It gets no mention.
Do such beliefs translate into a political agenda tailored to African-Americans? Would fellow Trinitarian Obama, despite his agreeably race-neutral and nonthreatening public persona, govern and petition on behalf of one group and not necessarily for the greater good of this country?
Obama recently promised a black newspaper in Michigan that Africa will be 'my priority' as president. 'I think that the U.S. has to see its long-term interest wrapped up in the success of Africa,' he said.
Hillary Clinton calculates that Obama's childhood brushes with Islam will make Americans nervous. But it's his adult conversion to black nationalism and socialism that makes this otherwise attractive minority candidate unfortunately so unattractive.
That still doesn't make me wrong.
By the way, I was there in the 60's and it was all a giant lie.
The stupid clothes... the crap about raising consiousness...from a pill bottle....the free love, asi fi that was ever true, the free living, financed by the blue and white collars of your fathers who truely suffered for your freedoms....your brothers and sisters who went to defend freedoms of others while the congressmen gave their victories away...sound familiar....???
The drugs....now a scourge of our society...thanks a pantload Moondog.
It's O-V-E-R Moondog. That ship sailed. Your politcal party is now run by the same chuckleheads that were in your van 40 years ago, smoking weed. Ol Billy Clinton is now ramming his hash pipe up your ass and making you take a big toke. His endgame is to usurp the democratic process of the democrat party. Yep, one of your own. He's gonna lynch the Negro at the first opportunity, then install his wife, who greenlighted this war.
After all, if anything is true, we are fighting the flower childrens war.
Yes, Moondog, your Peace-Love-Dopes greenlighted this war, and they got a dial soaper to start it for them. He was happy to oblige, another stellar poltician from Texas. Remember the last Texan and the last war?...you know...'they expect me to stand up to them...Lady Bird!' His personal tapes of him listening to his sec def saying 'I don't really kno what to do...'
Deja Vu!....not the record, the sit rep.
No Moondog, don't re-create 1968. It sucked.
That's a great story grandpa next time you can tell what it was like when the earth cooled.
No more free pass for the Democrats. Join R-68, Troops Out Now Coaltion!, United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink, The World Worker's Party, F.I.S.T. (Fighting Imperialism Standing Together), and others as we march to end all illegal imperialist occupations in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Hawaii, North America, and others. The Dems have the power to put an end to the United States illegal colonizations and wars, but they will not without pressure from the people.
The only thing missing from your ensemble is the red nose and the size 80 shoes. I just bet there's a tie-dyed t-shirt in the closet, huh?
In the world we're living, your (surprise) 45 years out of touch.
Word: WE are being invaded and colonzied, or didn't you hear?
The world wants to step up and sell us their goods. They will globalize whether we wish to, or not. The demon corporations just pack up and move if business conditions in a nation go bad. Global competitiveness is the next hurdle. You either thin or sink.
The good news: it's RAISING standards of living in those nations who sign up.
Your heros were communists and look at them: The modern marxist monarchies. Separate everything for the party royals. What a bunch of dickheads.
Even your comrades are embracing capitalist reforms. A little nation called China is setting the pace. The others will eventually follow. By the way, go ask your comrades to provide freedoms for their peoples and see what they think of your so caled revolution.
So take the bandana off, it looks stupid, and realize that, in 1968 people actually voted for Richard Nixon!
LOL
Just I have been suspecting:

Off your medication again again SP4? Where does any of this crap you spew fit into any serious discussion about fixing the problems in the US. Who cares if our weak dollar helps other countries?
You old idiot, please do a couple of things for us on the board. Please get a spelling lesson or use spell check. Please quit using one of your 'failed' leaders (Dick Nixon) as a reference to anything that is going on in this decade. Please take your medications and understand that most of what you say 'makes you wrong'. Idiot!
The weak dollar, while punishing to us when we buy outsourced goods, actually HELPS us, the USA when WE export!
Heck in last weeks WSJ, the japanese were grousing about how it's hurting their exports and helping ours.
Bush is an interesting guy: the financial press cries for dollar support from the USA, and Bush plays chicken with them!
Think about it: How do you get competitive on exports in one swoop???
Answer: Have your currency fall off against another currency!
You want domestic jobs? Try export items! The market, made good by this, invigorates the economy.
What you are seeing is the first result of a global economy: currency swings giving you bad import costs and good export prices.
Now, try to see where to position the USA:
Energy: We import oil but EXPORT coal and coal is through the ceiling!
Manufactured Goods: We're actualy doing pretty weel, made good by the Trade deals we did in the 90s.
Commodites: We'd do better if we produced more for export. If the dems will allow domesitc energy (oil) exploration and we can farm more, we can compete well. Farm goods: we are huge. Lumber: the dems shut it down for America.
Quit with the empty glass. You replace the housing bubble with a moderate market, and most of this we would not be talking about!
Go ask yourselves what you want, then spend time really thinking about it.
Is it the responsibility of the government of Canada to assist Democratic presidential candidates in telling lies?
Apparently the answer is 'yes' -- at least according to the opposition parties in Ottawa.
The opposition parties are slamming the Harper government for inadvertently leaking a memo that revealed Barack Obama's anti-NAFTA posture to be a fake. While Obama was trying to win union votes in Ohio by slamming the North American Free Trade Agreement, Obama's top economic advisor was quietly assuring the Canadian government that the candidate's words were just 'positioning,' not 'policy.'
For Obama, this revelation was deeply damaging. Obama presents himself as a new kind of politician. He regularly promises to tell voters 'not what they want to hear -- but the truths they need to hear.' On the evidence of the memo, however, Obama is actually a shiftier politician than Hillary Clinton. The Clintons are legendary for misleading voters with phrases that contain hidden escape hatches. On NAFTA, however, Obama left himself no such leeway. He is pretending to condemn something that he does not in fact condemn. Now he has been caught.
Some want to fix the blame for Obama's troubles not on Obama's own double-talk, but on the Harper government. Yet if anything, it is the Harper government that was victimized here. In Ohio, Obama indirectly made Canada and Canadian trade the villain of his campaign narrative. Then, after whipping Canada and Canadian trade, Obama thrust an uninvited secret on the Canadian government. When the truth emerged, as it always does, Obama's supporters denounced Ottawa for not doing more to protect his lie.
But why is it Canada's job to shield an American political candidate from the predictable consequences of his own amateurish duplicity?

you say you remember the 60's. Well, arsehole, if you were there, then you wouldn't remember them. This is just another one of your lies, obfuscations and drug dreams.
The most protectionist candidate caught with his pants down. Not too bright, thinking he can go to another country and shine them on.
In 2004 he was telling Illinois farmers the benefits of Nafta. Now, he poses as some kind of anti-Nafta candidate.
This is the real picture: your libnazis know they cannot go back on trade, no matter who votes for them. They'll mouth some reform or renegotiation crap after they get in, but what can they do? If we don't form trade coalitions, someone else will.
'Well, arsehole, if you were there, then you wouldn't remember them.'
Why is that?
