Friday Fry Up, It's cloudy here in DC. But things are still moving right along.
Question: Where does Nancy Pelosi someone who has taken lots of trips, dinners, and certainly organized her fair share of deals get off pointing a finger at John McCain? There should be a ban on hypocrisy for the Democrats it seems to be the drug of choice.
This news here http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080307/economy.html?.v=7should make things more complicated when the democrats use the 'It's the economy stupid' approach.
Also, this week the Heartland Institute held a conference on Global Warming issues and the facts, the fallacy and the science. This blogger attended the conference which was very interesting with two panels running during the day on science, one on economics and one on politics. No sense in doing more politics if you live in DC, so the science panels were the ones that proved the most interesting...especially the one on Monday featuring Lord Monckton who was an advisor to Margaret Thatcher.
It was a good event if one wanted to hear about the science of global warming and deal with some of the realities. The environment is very complex and there are about 18-15 different issues that go into a model. Any of these issues in their amounts can be calculated different ways and CO2 is just one of the components. One could consider solar issues, ocean currents, wind patterns, and it goes on and on....global warming is not just about man's actions.
So many things could be written about this conference. The New York Times write Andy Revkin wrote this though... but the John Tiernaywrote this....and then wrote this as a response..
The event did get some good media coverage and attention which is sometimes the best you can hope for....and presume that people will look at the facts for themselves and not just the liberal media which often uses no science, as they so often claim their pronouncements are based on...
