POPSSun & Moon Trigger Earthly Tremors it seems like it must be very subtle, because we actually don't see a tidal signal in regular earthquakes. Even though the earthquake zone also sees the tidal stress and also feels the added periodic behavior of the tremor below, they don't seem to be very bothered. It is certainly in the realm of reasonable conjecture that tremors are stressing the fault zone above it. The deep San Andreas Fault is moving faster when tremors are more active, presumably stressing the seismogenic zone, loading the fault a little bit faster. And that may have a relationship to stimulating earthquake activity.

POPSNASAfinds significant water on moon
Although the goal of the $79 million mission was to determine whether there is water on the moon, discoveries in other areas are expected as studies progress, Colaprete and other scientists said at the briefing at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field near San Francisco, California. "The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," the space agency said in a written statement shortly after the briefing began. Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist at NASA headquarters in Washington, said the latest discovery also could unlock the mysteries of the solar system. He listed several options as sources for the water, including solar winds, comets, giant molecular clouds or even the moon itself through some kind of internal activity. The Earth also may have a role, Wargo said. "If the water that was formed or deposited is billions of years old, these polar cold traps could hold a key to the history and evolution of the solar system, much as an ice core sa

POPSAn Open Letter to the Council of the American Physical Society Studies of a variety of natural processes, including ocean cycles and solar variability, indicate that they can account for variations in the Earth’s climate on the time scale of decades and centuries. Current climate models appear insufficiently reliable to properly account for natural and anthropogenic contributions to past climate change, much less project future climate. The APS supports an objective scientific effort to understand the effects of all processes – natural and human --on the Earth’s climate and the biosphere’s response to climate change, and promotes technological options for meeting challenges of future climate changes, regardless of cause.

POPSMeet The Man Who Has Exposed the Great Climate Change Con Trick
What Heaven And Earth sets out to do is restore a sense of scientific perspective to a debate which has been hijacked by ‘politicians, environmental activists and opportunists’. It points out, for example, that polar ice has been present on earth for less than 20 per cent of geological time; that extinctions of life are normal; that climate changes are cyclical and random; that the CO2 in the atmosphere " to which human activity contributes the tiniest fraction " is only 0.001 per cent of the total CO2 held in the oceans, surface rocks, air, soils and life; that CO2 is not a pollutant but a plant food; that the earth’s warmer periods " such as when the Romans grew grapes and citrus trees as far north as Hadrian’s Wall " were times of wealth and plenty. All this is scientific fact " which is more than you can say for any of the computer models turning out doomsday scenarios about inexorably rising temperatures, sinking islands and collapsing ice shelves.

POPSSun Not Responsible For Climate Change Professors Peter Adams and Jeff Pierce did a bunch of things that those throwing around the solar excuse didn't: a) They did detailed work analyzing the actual effects of such activity b) They actually understood what such effects would really even be c) They rigorously applied scientific procedures to this research, constructed computer models, and would have reported the results either away d) They spent many, many years earning PhDs in scientific research and the title of "Professor." We have to say, d) is our favorite. "This paper is the final nail in the coffin for people who would like to make the sun responsible for present global warming," Stefan Rahmstorf, a climate scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, told the journal Nature. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/3300177/Sun-not-responsible-for-climate-change.html

POPSUFO Captured on SOHO Coincides With Crop Circle Prediction The UFO does not correspond to any planet as its trajectory makes clear. .Nor does the UFO correspond to any comet which characteristically have tails Also, no known satellite has been announced with a trajectory to crash into the sun. If the UFO was an asteroid, then it is an interesting coincidence that it crashes into the sun around the time of the predicted solar activity.

POPSMassive Storm Erupts On The Surface Of The Sun "Sunspot 1024 is crackling with B- and C-class solar flares. The activity is so intense, astronomers can't seem to take a picture of the sunspot without catching a flare in action. Pete Lawrence sends this example from his backyard observatory in Selsey, UK: 'Active region 1024 is putting on a fantastic show,' says Lawrence. 'The center of this region is incredibly bright and fluctuating.' Solar observers haven't seen an active region like this one in more than two years. It is big, complex, and rapidly growing..." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * But not to worry: the Democrats' "Crap-and-Tax" plan will save our climate from the effects of solar storms. Once again, Barack Obama reads bald-face lies to the American people from his teleprompter http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2009/06/green-gestapo.html

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.)

POPSChina And Brazil Continue To Look For Oil While We Research . . . Switch Grass This week, for example, the oil industry was heard complaining about Obama's proposed increases in their taxes by $70 billion over 5 years. For a president who constantly declares that the U.S. must reduce its dependence on foreign oil, this seems self-defeating: If Obama won't allow energy producers to get that oil and gas at home, they will have to get it from other countries more willing to derive revenues from their wealth of energy resources: "If you penalize oil and gas, and add taxes, it is going to make it much more difficult and more expensive. That means U.S. jobs are exported and we won't get the revenues from royalties," said Landry - a spokeswoman for the American Petroleum Institute. Indeed, the leaders of other nations seem to have a less myopic energy view than the the Obamunists Anticipating a robust future, other countries such as China and Brazil have continued to look for oil while we continue to research . . . switch grass.

POPSScientists Have No Idea What's Up With the Sun Revelation: 16:8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to scorch people with fire. 16:9 Thus people were scorched by the terrible heat, yet they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authority over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.

POPSSpace storm alert: 90 seconds from catastrophe This is science warning of a 2012 solar event -- NASA and the New Scientist. Nobody is listening, yet. The only way to prepare is to decrease dependency on electricity, fast. Too bad for the electric car enthusiasts.
