POPSAre You a Global Warming Sucker? The bottom line is this folks: We're in serious trouble on this planet and to say otherwise today is to be nothing less than anti-science. It's time to grow up and get serious. It's time to ignore lies and innuendo, stick to the facts and act. If we don't, tomorrow's big news story will be how we should have when we still had the chance.

POPSFielding feels heat over solar flare theory Senator Fielding is the only rep of the religious right in this country. He spoke to the conspiracy theorists, obviously. The only people who don't see carbon emissions are people who make money from it. ( I reserve my opinion of others who support this view.)

POPSLaser explodes mystery of how a star is born To discover which is right, Dr Ryder is using sophisticated new technology called laser guide star adaptive optics at the giant Gemini telescope, atop Hawaii's 4200-metre Mauna Kea. Adaptive optics allows astronomers to produce extraordinarily sharp images by cancelling the blurring effect of Earth's atmosphere, which also makes stars twinkle.

POPSHitchens on Palin and Science No comment needed. Hitchins says it all at the source. The poor woman is going to wake up after this and find her world shattered. No True Alaskan Man is going to put up with comments that his woman doesn't listen to him. Mark my words.

POPSRobert Winston criticises dangerous 'science delusion' Bit like the chook and the egg. Scientists have for centuries been questioned closely by religions and many theories went on hold due to church action. Now that the science world is taking the limelight from religions, they want to do some discussing. The emphasis on trying to prove the big bang theory could be interpreted as a swipe at religion.

POPSAustralia 'stalling' due to innovation neglect Successive govts in Australia have forced our leading thinkers/researchers/scientists out to England and America. They have also ignored the census and allowed shortfalls to happen in nursing and teaching, let alone jobs requiring higher qualifications. All visions for the future were just that, visions.
