There's a confluence of science, politics and culture that's happening right now. If we're going to be involved in the decisions, we need to be informed. I'm here to make people aware of the latest science - and I'll probably kick around a few of the fad science topics that come up also.

If I were a fish, I would just not lay on the floor. It seems like a lot of work to evolve two eyes on the side of my head. (Wednesday Jul 9 | post #1)

Prototyping Machine 'Bakes' New Bones From Metal Powder

Yes, bones are quite optimal for uniform, high pressure environments but they still break easily on earth. So I don't want metal that acts like bone, I want a titanium exo-skeleton(*) that doesn't break at all so I can fight crime yet still never escape the real life issues that beset the little people. (*) Maybe claws that shoot from my knuckles as well. (Tuesday Jul 8 | post #1)

Irritable Male Syndrome - I have this, and so do you

I love this whole concept. If women can get away with PMS, so can I. Even better, if entire groups of us want to hole up in the den and watch football, we can claim our IMS is 'in sync' with each other. I heart science. (Monday Jul 7 | post #1)

Why would related Topix be San Luis Obispo rather than hooch or firewater or awesome ways to get drunk while camping? Science has no answer for that. (Friday Jul 4 | post #1)

Environment: Climate risk from flat-screen TVs

Not evil, motivation. If two countries that are not economically competitive craft a plan that is based on a date that makes Kyoto targets easy for one (Germany - that's why they picked a date just after the unification with E Germany - all they had to do was close a few 1940s Soviet factories and they achieved their Kyoto goal) and easy for another (France) because nuclear power has no CO2 - yet can hardly be considered environmentally great. So focusing on CO2 as the main cause of global warming (scientifically suspect, as we now know) and picking a convenient date means there could only be one reason to do it - economics.

Science

Environment: Climate risk from flat-screen TVs

Indeed, the chronic weakness of Kyoto was, and remains, that it was a way to achieve political and economic gains for proponents rather than environmental ones. Everything from focusing on just CO2 to the date they picked was designed to make emissions targets easy for some countries and difficult for one (America), while even making 3 huge polluters exempt. It shouldn't be fixed, it should be replaced - with a document that is not based on achieving economic parity but rather environmental kinds. (Thursday Jul 3 | post #3)
