POPSMars Rover Named "Curiosity" Checking out the neighborhood. Who knows, maybe our grandkids will found a new civilization. Check out Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" series (Red Mars, Blue Mars, Green Mars) for a take on what is reasonably possible. It's a great read. Does both the tech and social side of what such an effort could look like.

POPSLadyBug Invasion I was one of those getting dive-bombed yesterday. Awesome! They kept playing buzz the tower. It was great being able to show the kiddos. They thought it was neat when a few landed on us. I counted about 7 different species on the front of our home. I couldn't couldn't keep count of how many there were total, but there was a lot.

POPSWinter / Snow Tires vs. All Season Tires A good winter tire is a good investment that in the long run could cost you much less than even the smallest of accidents or the 10 minutes you may be running late on that important sales call because you are stuck. Traction, stopping and cornering are compromised in an all season tire. Be sure your car is equipped properly this winter.

POPSIce Returns as Greenland Temps Plummet "The mayor cautioned against thinking that the freezing temperature indicated that global warming claims were overblown. He noted that a nearby glacier had retracted more in the past two decades than in recorded history. But he noted “‘We Greenlanders have acclimated to changing conditions over the past 1100 years,” said Frederiksen. “Temperatures change at regular intervals.”"

POPSThe Mystery is Why People Put Up With It Hence the massive sales tax hike … with the tax expanded to cover already heavily taxed booze … that was enacted once the hacks figured out that the people in the fog either don’t care or are too befuddled to notice. The fog itself is no big mystery. It’s pumped out of big fog machines operated by local unions, the hacks themselves, and the above mentioned broadsheet. The mystery is why people put up with it.

POPSNew El Niño Threatens World with Weather Woe "Observations and dynamical model forecasts indicate El Niño conditions will continue to intensify and are expected to last through the northern hemisphere winter of 2009-10." The last El Niño was in 2006-07 and, at its peak, sea surface temperatures averaged about 0.9 degrees above normal. But this is a stage which has already been reached by this one. The last El Niño, comparatively weak though it was, is thought to have been partly responsible for the extraordinarily warm weather in Britain between the summer of 2006 and the spring of 2007: July 2006 was Britain's hottest month, autumn 2006 (September, October and November) was the warmest autumn, winter 2006-07 (December, January and February) was the second warmest in Britain, and April 2007 was our warmest April.

POPSTimes: G8 leaders agree to control the weather Comment from Wise Up Journal: "Even 3000+ years ago when the climate changed from cold winter to hot summer each summer would have different temperatures. The earth might get an average summer, a cold summer, or a hot summer; just like in the 1800’s and every other time period on this planet orbiting around the sun (slightly changing it’s orbit ever year). Now 8 to 13 “wise” men, Gordon Brown and company, have agreed the entire world will never have an average rise of 2 degrees ever again, despite the ever changing output of the sun.
