About me
Photographer. Formerly a print journalist. See the link below for my longwinded Google profile.
Why I use Clipmarks
First as a student, later as a journalist, I spent many years with a highlighter marker close at hand. Visually emphasizing the important points in documents helps me remember stuff, sort stuff, and think things through.

Clipmarks gives me the ability to interact with the web in a similar fashion. Awesome!

 The carbon cycle is extremely complex. The computer models that predict future climate disaster currently have too little info to be trusted.

 The last line is especially noteworthy: we know less than we think we do about these matters. We therefore risk unintended consequences that could make things worse rather than better.

Save Lives Today - Or Waste Money Doing Almost Nothing for Tomorrow's Problems? (May 09)
TripodGirl
by TripodGirl  5-20-2009    2
 Money is always limited. If we spend billions on X, we can't also afford to do Y. It seems to me we should all have a little more faith in future generations, in human ingenuity. Google is only 10 years old. The World Wide Web is only 20. Not so long ago there was no email, no BlackBerry's, no GPSs. Which means that, a century from now, people will have tools we haven't even dreamed of to help them meet environmental & other challenges. For us to assume they'll be helpless bystanders seems pretty insulting.

 Scientists are far less sure about global warming - and far more divided in their opinions - than most of us realize.

Jail People Who See Things Differently: Global Warming Activist (Feb 08)
TripodGirl
by TripodGirl  5-19-2009    2
 As a former board member of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association myself (1994-2001), I must say I'm appalled. There's often a large chasm between what the "science" on climate change says and how activists - and many media outlets - portray this science.
