The REAL Threat to Western Society: Attack of the Field Mouse

In an interview dated 1 December 2008 in the German publication Frankfurter Allgemeine, the erstwhile Swedish “Weapons inspector” for the UN, Hans Blix stated the following as translated by TransAtlantic Intelligencer: Q. Many Arab countries want to obtain atomic energy. Are you worried about this? A. Everything involves risks, including atomic energy. But in the long run I’m more worried about global warming than about weapons of mass destruction. The Frankfurter Allgemeine interviewer appea

Hard times? Sacrifice? Put the shovel down!

Wafer-thin-mint? “no, no, I couldn’t…?” Apparently, even on the dawn of the end of the world: mortgage foreclosures—people being thrown out of the houses they couldn’t afford in the first place, people losing their jobs—unemployment going up up up, high energy prices, money unavailable to borrow—interest rates on those credit card balances going up up up, BANKS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS, retirement savings slashed in half! No, we’re not done yet! People, with shovel in hand, keep digging. We’r

But did CO2 cause this: Malaria rates plummet among Kenyan children [NAIROBI] A dramatic drop in the rates of severe childhood malaria in some regions of Kenya is posing new medical challenges as people in high-risk regions lose their immunity and transmission patterns alter, according to researchers. An analysis of data collected over 18 years from malaria-infected children at Kilifi District Hospital, on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, found that paediatric admissions for malaria had fallen by 75

The Top 10 Book of 2008

Hello readers, just like last year about this time, I’ve decided to give you a top 10 list of the books I read this year. Remember, these books didn’t necessarily release in 2008, but I read them this year. Also recall from last year the criteria by which I judge the books: the book’s scholarship, entertainment value, cultural significance, and modern relevance. Both fiction and non-fiction books are on the list, and they are not separated. So, with that, here are the ten best books I read in 2

Ok, now I’m confused: Is the science still settled?

Carbon Dioxide Helped Ancient Earth Escape Deathly Deep Freeze The review’s lead author, Professor Phillip Allen, from Imperial College London’s Department of Earth Science and Engineering, says that something must have kept the planet’s equatorial oceans from freezing over. He adds: “In the climate change game, carbon dioxide can be both saint and sinner. These days we are so concerned about global warming and the harm that carbon dioxide is doing to our planet. However, approximately 600 milli

Naturalism

Naturalism The Scientific Kind Says “It Wasn’t My Fault” Seeking to get back to the strict subject of naturalism in the Academy Blogger–rather than using naturalism as the theme for the subjects of capitalism, the forthcoming Obama administration, altrusim, socialism, justice, etc.–we are reminded that as far as this Academy is concerned “naturalism” is the metaphysical position that nature is all there is and all basic truths are truths of nature. However, there are epistemological var

CO2 Is Good for Something: Decaffeination!

This month, we’re very excited to announce the replacement of our previous water-process decaffeinated teas with our new CO2 decaffeinated offerings.  But many of our enviro-conscious customers may be wondering why we’re so excited about using CO2 for anything related to our generally Earth-friendly little tea company.  Don’t we go to great lengths to eliminate or offset the emission of CO2 from our business?  Well here’s a bit of background to explain why CO2 isn’t so bad for decaffeinating te

Has climate change become a religion?

I can hear the shouts for me to be burnt at the stake for heresy – a not unreasonable analogy given the subject matter of this post.  And while it seems off-topic for Off The Record, I assure readers it is not.  The “topic” for us is, as always, China and/or PR; in this case
