POPSClimategate: You should be steamed Third, and most important, skeptics believe that climate models are grossly overpredicting future warming from rising concentrations of carbon dioxide. We are being told that numerical models that cannot make accurate 5- to 10-day forecasts can be simplified and run forward for 100 years with results so reliable you can impose an economic disaster on the U.S. and the world. The revelation of ClimateÂgate occurs at a time when the accuracy of the climate models is being seriously questioned. Over the last decade Earth's temperature has not warmed, yet every model (there are many) predicted a significant increase in global temperatures for that time period. If the climate models cannot get it right for the past 10 years, why should we trust them for the next century?

Mars may have been so cold that the lake was covered with ice. But it's possible that life gained a foothold beneath the ice. So Hellas Basin preserves not only a record of our solar system's violent past -- but also signs that, billions of years ago, the Red Planet was a friendlier place for life.

POPSStar Trak for January
Here are the rest: "Mercury, the smallest planet, will pass between the sun and Earth on Jan. 4 and then move quickly into the morning sky. It may be visible by Jan. 13, when it will be very low in the southeast a half hour before sunrise. Mercury will brighten more and climb a little higher each morning for the rest of the month. Venus, the brightest planet, will be out of sight all month as it passes behind the sun. On Jan. 11 it will be on the far side of the sun from Earth. Saturn will rise in the east around 11:30 p.m. local time at the start of the month and two hours earlier by month's end. It will be highest in the hours before the start of morning twilight, the best time for viewing its rings. The rings will be tilted nearly five degrees toward Earth on Jan. 8, before they gradually start to close again over the next few months. Saturn's largest moon, Titan, will appear close to the planet on Jan. 2, 10, 18 and 26. Meteor shower The Quadrantid meteor shower wil

POPSThe U.K. is leading the way on AGW Hoax 100 is a little generous. Many of the reasons are just re-wordings of previous reasons. Still, there is far too much doubt cast on this bad idea to disrupt whole economies that are already on the brink of collapse. Enough already with the Polar Bears. The penguins in Antarctica are quite chilly and happy.

POPSConcern as China clamps down on rare earth exports The thing about this prediction is that it is a certainty, and only a couple of years away. The only alternative to renewables is to use much less energy. Lack of competition from renwables will accelerate the increase in the price of oil and coal.

POPSAt 31,000 mph, Space Probe Gets Halfway to Pluto in Record Time; ETA: July 2015 Should make for good visuals... During that time, the probe will capture 4.5 gigabytes of data, which it will have to keep sending the four-and-a-half hours back home for months. With its main mission accomplished, the craft will keep moving away from the sun, following in the extrasolar footsteps of the earlier Pioneer and Voyager missions, drifting ever farther away from us.

POPSOVER POPULATION. Can We Continue to Ignore It? It is the achilles heel of democracy~ no one is likely to vote for a politician that might tell you how many children you can have, but if there are no leaders to tackle the problem then would we rather rely on natural causes to regulate the human population? Like so many things, the longer it is ignored the harder its going to be to deal with. I believe the problems of resource abuse and population could both be addressed by a willingness to realise when we have enough~ enough clothes, or enough cars, enough houses, or enough children. And then stop acquiring more.Some believe that if contraception was available to every woman, that alone would prevent the population from increasing, as the indigenous populations of developed countries are often found to be in decline. But that still requires the ability to say 'Enough' ~ is enough....

POPSRussia May Send Spacecraft to Asteroid Tunguska's piece of comet that detonated over Siberia in the early 1900's was estimated to be only One hundred feet across. How is a spacecraft going to move this rock with an impact--sustained ion-pulse rocket engines?? They'll just make it hit earth on 2029....I had hoped to live longer than this..

POPSThe key to our sustainability... I Amplify'd this statement directly from commentary posted by Open Intelligence here http://bit.ly/858Nur. It seems so simple, yet sadly is proving to be very difficult. Some very interesting clips on the subject have recently been Amplify'd by http://openintelligence.amplify.com and http://egs.amplify.com.
