I am skeptical humans are the main cause of climate change and that it will be catastrophic in the near future. There is no scientific proof of this hypothesis, yet we are told “the debate is over” and “the science is settled.”
My skepticism begins with the believers’ certainty they can predict the global climate with a computer model. The entire basis for the doomsday climate change scenario is the hypothesis increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel emissions will heat the Earth to unlivable temperatures.
Patrick Moore. And he is a climate skeptic.. (And a founder of Greenpeace)

Sure, it’s a good performance.. Fine, she is a great singer.. And yes, she’s a STAR»> But there’s something awfully creepy to me about this J LO live scene from AMERICAN IDOL.. Maybe her hypnotic dress.. perhaps the ‘feel the light’ mantra in light of the CERN churning of parallel universe hopes or the eclipse and super moons..
Or maybe I just listened to too much CLYDE LEWIS recently..
Regardless.. feel the light.

thedoomreport IT was the fun not knowing.. the idea that the truth was just ‘out there’ on the X FILES, and all of that was just fake. Right? All fun and fake.. Soup Nazis on Seinfeld and the Clinton scandals that weren’t really. Those were the days—the 90s were a decade about nothing. A decade in which we were infuriated about issues that didn’t matter. And I was moving through my teens toward 20, paying less than a buck a gallon for gas in a little Chevy car and staying awake often until sunrise listening to Art Bell with my father or friends.
Then the knowing began as I aged.. After 9/11, after floods and fury across the globe. And I began to know..
The knowing..
The fun all happens before that.
Thanks for the question—it made me think..
The learning process...
I am proud of my son learning to play video games. Is that wrong? Sure.. I will be proud when he learns science, math, reasoning, and spelling.. but seeing him discover how to play SUPER MARIO not only on the Wii U, but also the WII and the NINTENDO (original, folks) is amazing for a father..

Thanks to someone on Facebook, this song is now re-stuck in my head for the first time in 5 years.. Awful.. just an awful song..

Spring gets about 30 seconds shorter every year
Thanks to astronomical quirks, spring will end, and summer will begin, just a little bit earlier in the year.
But we get an extra minute this summer.
Explain that.

Monsanto Weedkiller Is "Probably Carcinogenic,"™ WHO Says
Which is to be expected..There has been along controversy about this. Heck, there is still a controversy about Agent Orange—created of course by the same folks who now give us GMO food and products to kill the bugs that used to feast on growing plants..
While doing some searching for other peer reviewed science that may back up these most recent WHO findings, I found this article from 2013 appearing in the HUFFINGTON POST, lashing out at those who are critical of Monsanto based on ‘bad science.’ I wonder how much more ‘bad science’ has to happen before we listen.. before the butterflies stop dying.. before cancer rates start falling.. and before we eat good honest food again..
