Diagnosing Al Gore: Truth in the Balance - Man Made Global Warming Debunking News and Links

As I've said before, I think Huber was right, the "environment is too important to leave it to the environmentalists." What I need is the facts to know what the situation really is, how much action is prudent to take, by when and by whom. Rather than take what Al Gore says at face value check it out. Have a look at this article for example. Or read the article by Mary Ellen Tiffany Gilder (yes George's daughter).

Wouldn't it be great if a commons database like Freebase had a peer reviewed data structure with the facts in it (as well as the assumptions in the models) so that anyone could see for themselves what was actually happening.

Forty Years

My wife Joy and I celebrated our 40 th wedding anniversary this past weekend with our children and grand-children. We were on lovely Sea Island, Georgia watching this spectacular sunrise and wondering how it was possible that forty years could have gone by so quickly. We had a lot of fun telling all the old stories about how we met, and courted, and married, and brought up the kids. Lots of laughs and a few tears as well. We've been through good times and bad together. We've both worked hard, had a few disappointments, but basically have accomplished mostly good things. We've had good health, loving families, good friends, three fine sons we're very proud of, wonderful daughter's-in-law who are perfect for our boys, and four of the best grandchildren ever. Life doesn't really get any better than that. We've really been blessed and we thank God for that. Now we're working to keep our health and live to celebrate forty more.

Barry Schwartz - The Paradox of Choice

MediaPost Publications - Americans Get More Channels, Watch Fewer Of Them, Especially Broadcast - 03/13/2006 Ironically, Barry Schwartz spoke at PC Forum last night about the Paradox of Choice, and what did I wake up to this morning. Another possible example of too much choice in the channels people have to choose from on television. I wonder whether the "a la carte" crowd has thought about this problem. I'll have to ask Prof. Schwartz about that today.
