JazzFest Weekend...Turning Wet
Since history often repeats itself, it's not surprising that the 1st JazzFest weekend will have to deal with some rain, possibly T-Storms late Saturday and even more likely on Sunday. Friday should have no weather problems, but a cold front will near on Saturday stalling north of the Lake before a secondary surge pushes it through late on Sunday. The best of all forecasts would slow the second front down so that most of the storms don't arrive until after 6 pm on Sunday. Right now that appears unlikely as showers should arrive after the noon hour on Sunday. Taking it a day at a time...let's enjoy Friday. I'll have another update tomorrow.

Scientists agree that global temperature is increasing due to two causes
1) astronomical causes (cycles outside of our atmosphere, e.g. sun output)
2) terrestrial changes due to both human activity and natural changes, such as
changes in the atmosphere e.g. greenhouse gases, clouds,
changes in albedo = surface reflectivity, such as snow cover, deforestation ...
On Feb. 2, 2007, the United Nations scientific panel studying climate change declared that the evidence of a warming trend is "unequivocal," and that human activity has "very likely" been the driving force in that change over the last 50 years. The last report by the group, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in 2001, had found that humanity had "likely" played a role.
On Huffington Post, David Roberts wrote that Roger Pielke Jr has "been playing footsie with denialists and right-wing ideologues for years; they're his biggest fans! Roger Pielke Jr. is a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Pielke's "middle ground leanings" have also been questioned by Tim Lambert, the author of the Deltoid blog, who pointed out that Pielke has made specious claims about the work of NASA climatologist James Hansen And Pielke's use of the term "honest broker" has been noted as a self-serving attempt to position himself more firmly in the middle of climate debates."
Pielke has been noted for sensitivity that any mention of links between himself and conservatives not be noted on his wikipedia entry. A look at the history of his wiki site shows that he continuously removes citations that link him or his writings with conservative politicians or bloggers.
Guy is a joke just trying to make a name for himself like some others. Have a good weekend..
Caveman. Sometimes I think you are in a cave. For instance, read what I said about Roger Pielke. I said CLIMATOLOGIST Roger Pielke. Of course you chose to talk about his son, Roger JR. For the first time you made some sense in your 1st response regarding climate change...1) solar cycles & 2) terrestrial changes. The debate regards the 2nd one & how big a role CO2 plays in driving climate change. As Bjorn Lomberg says in his book COOL IT, we should focus our efforts on correcting/curing things we can influence (World Hunger, AIDS, Homeless) instead of spending BILLIONS on something we cannot change or stop.
get 'em bob
"we should focus our efforts on correcting/curing things we can influence (World Hunger, AIDS, Homeless) instead of spending BILLIONS on something we cannot change or stop." Sure it can't be stopped and nobody has said that it could, the focus is on slowing in down by taking simple steps now. The ONLY way you are going to cure or stop things such as AIDS, hunger, poor, homeless etc is simple send BIRTH CONTROL! Not money or food. ANYONE that is on of gets any federa/state or any other aid for food, welfare, WIC, Foodstamps, SSI Disability etc should be forced to take BIRTH CONTROL! Feed the Children and other groups that send boxs of Mac n Cheese or bags of rice to places such as Africa need to stop and send BIRTH CONTROL and the hunger problems will resolve its self in just a few years....
