Global Warming: Science vs. Politics
Sunday, January 6, 2012 11:37 P.M. With so much talk about the fiscal cliff and a whole bunch of other stuff I don’t understand, I’ve been reading the newspaper and watching some news stations.

Thursday, November 15, 2012 8:42 P.M. So, I was thinking a lot about global warming today (like I always do), but I was struck by one thought.

Climate Change and the Election
Sunday, November 4, 2012 ~12:00 P.M. This election season has been pretty intense from both sides. I’ve seen some outrageous, unsupported claims on Facebook from people in support of both Obama and Romney, although I have to admit, I’ve seen more ridiculous posts in support of Romney.

Mega-Millions and Global Warming
Friday, March 30, 2012 10:42 A.M. The Mega-Millions jackpot is, as of 10:43 A.M., 640 million dollars. I’ve never bought a lottery ticket, but I’m pretty tempted to do so.
