"shove this"...
by RON VANDERHULE 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi Rich, No, climate modeling is an appropriate science even though it is still in it's infancy and the dynamics being studied are quite fluid. Conservancy is definitely of value when trend lines determine that course of action. The "shove this" comment was just a brutish way of indicating that climate history is the most valid interpretation of what "climate" did and what it will do. Climate modeling tries to determine what dynamics are involved in any trends that the climate goes through. My research, ( I have a computer;) indicates that this is extremely complicated, highly speculative, and the data incomplete. As I indicated, if you want to know "what" climate is doing look at history, if you want to know "why" it does it....well... I suppose the "disdain" you mentioned has to do with the scandals and LIES the current administration finds itself buried in. They need a diversion so they trot out the tried and true scare the hell out em global warm.. er ..climate change report. I am sick of Americans being manipulated like this and that was on my mind when I posted that to U-A. Sorry to bring in the politics but it completes the sequence. I love Astronomy.

May the 4th
by CenturyLink Customer 06 May '14

Can I assume May 4, 1977 is the date the original Star Wars movie opened, hence Star Wars Day? Think some people have been watching too much "Big Bang Theory." For those Star Wars fans out there, J.J. Abrams, aka the guy who rebooted Star Trek with Chris Pine has got Lucas's blessing to finish the series. Episode VII has been cast and you might recognize some, by now, old folks - familiar names are Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. Suspect they will be more than cameos, but they aren't the main characters. Sort of passing the baton, look for movie release in 2015.

I agree with Eric re. Crimea. It was part of Russia until Khrushchev "gave" it to Ukraine administratively, back when they were both in the USSR. ------------------------------ On Sat, Mar 29, 2014 10:08 AM MDT Erik Hansen wrote: >Sounds like we are on schedule to have our own spacecraft for that.
