Jingle Links
When it comes to "global warming" - it's all a matter of perspective. Sadly, we increasingly take the short view. And it will never stop it if the fish don't help.
What am I saying? - the warm climate is obviously producing disasterous results.
I cannot believe they have to ask.
However, money is the bottom line in all of this. And, I think, the motivator. (This should give you an idea of what I am talking about - don't stop sin, encourage it and tax it. Or in the global warming case, make a sin up and tax it.) And yet, the long view, even on money...
Wisdom in the middle of the politics.
Even the nature preserve doesn't always preserve stuff. Man is far from the most destructive thing in God's created order.
Via Glenn Lucke/Joe Carter comes this bit of fascinating video
Which put me in mind of this
and I laughed and laughed and laughed. Am I a blasphemer?
And suddenly, I felt my age. A rock-and-roll quiz, no mention of the Beatles, Stones, Clapton? What?
Because an old-fashioned fake fire just is not good enough.
Hugh Hewitt makes a funny. He must have been into the egg-nog over the weekend.
There is win at all costs and then there is this. I've never wanted anything that bad....

Wisdom in the middle of the politics.
Key:Studies of discourse in these settings, including my own analysis of examples from the last 15 years (2-4), show, for example, that discussions of uncertainty have had the dual effect of justifying increased research funding while delaying policy decisions--a win for both the scientists and the politicians!In other words, we keep the public all lathered up, so we can keep making a living investigating the unanswerable, but not actually doing anything. I jest a bit, but not entirely. The writer is seekig genuine dialog, and worthily so, but my point is broader - defining an "issue" does develop a virtual industry from which many can profit without ever producing a product. Something is a little akilter there.
