My Turn: Believe the global warming hype | TahoeDailyTribune.com

When scientists try to make something simple so the general public they fall prey to the sceptics in the public who are not told the complex calculations that really go into scientific consensus building. 

Sure the simplistic explanation is an over simplification, but that the story has to be told suggests to the intelligent in an audience that there is more to the issue than meets the eye. In the modern world it's best to bore people with details than try to persuade them with over simplifications that they can refute. People with facts can come to their own conclusions and the most intelligent will probably come pretty close to the truth. So science is not foolproof, but it is useful.

 Be pragmatic and embrace the possible even though it stretches the imagination.

I can remember Pierre Trudeau trying to teach Canadians economics in a simple way . All he did was create doubt.

Global warming might stop another Sandy, study finds - THonline.com: National/World

Oh! Sure? And, we know what controls the jet stream and sunspots?

I would still take out insurance. Remember the worst ever storm of 1913 that sank the Canadian fleet on the Great Lakes, or the Hazel hurricane of 1956 that hit the Great Lakes!  

The big question is why one such Sandy storm in 700 years (who was counting, anyway), and if it happened once, why not again. Nature can create the same amount of havoc in a multitude of ways? 

In the UK, the possibility of the flooding of London should not be discounted despite the Thames barrier.  

Michael Fish did not see the great storm that hit Britain in the 1980s even though it was staring him and the TV audience in full view.

Starks residents fret over health effects of proposed cellphone tower | The Morning Sentinel, Waterville, ME

Discussion of thermal effects omits the multitude and strength of results of proven non-thermal effects, but it is early days for the community of Starks in their concerns. 

We in Southcott have a major investment by Bell, who will not want to write off a costly mistake but who in the end will see how much damage the cell towers and EMF radiation causes to customers despite early denials hid behind outdated and industry mitigated health research.

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
