Awaking here from a long hibernation I've really just finally got my fill of how everyone seems to be giving President Obama a pass on spending. The latest myth is being advanced by Factcheck.org with a very deceptive graphic that by their own admission doesn't tell the whole story ... (continue reading) ...

Well, now Greenland ice cores are supporting my position that global warming has more to do with our successes in pollution control than anything else man has done.(Click here for the story)

PopSci has an article about algae biomass that's pretty interesting.
Too bad they are about 18 months behind the curve.

So, everyone's pulling their hair out today about the melting ice at the North Pole.
This indicates that particulate pollution has been reduced substantially due to our great success in pollution control in the northern hemisphere over the past century and more particularly in the last 30 years.
Remind you of anything?

Just so I don't lose track of it this story about prison population growth goes into a point I've made on numerous occasions. Where it does address how costly and ineffective it is for us to have all these dang prisoners; what it doesn't say is that in addition to costing us a ton to incarcerate not a one of these people is adding any value to society while incarcerated.

On Immigration...
I've been building business and computer systems for over 20 years and the one rule you learn quickly is that if you design a system where it's easier to do right than it is to do wrong then there is little need to build in excessive and expensive controls.
The Guest Worker program accomplishes this; responding to the reality of 11 million immigrants plus the many more who want to be (and should be) here on work visas. With Guest Worker in place the job of enforcing the border becomes much easier rather than harder because it makes more sense to be compliant than to live in the shadows. This allows enforcement to focus-in on the much smaller minority of people who then try to subvert a more reasonable system.
The White House's dilemma is that the public at large has no idea of this concept because all of the pundits are shouting it down by screaming "AMNESTY" over and over at the top of their lungs.

The Four Big Ethanol Myths
There are many studies that have placed the whole cost of ethanol including cost to plant, fertilize, harvest and refine crops; higher than gasoline. There is some truth to the studies but what they fail to consider is the WHOLE cost of gasoline.

Defending Bush's Environmental Record
There is a vast perception in the environmental community and the population at large that George Bush is a slash and burn industrialist who destroys the environment for pleasure. Nothing could be further from the truth. Bush’s environmental record, though highly criticized, is reasonable and right; and is contributing greatly to the well being of Mother Earth.

Common Ground
The earth is warming. There is no denying this and CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere are increasing. These are facts that are studied and proven. The question before the world today, though, is “does this represent a cause and effect relationship?”. The consensus at last count was around 90% in favor of the idea of CO2 as the major contributing cause to global warming. I happen to be in the 10% of people who are not yet convinced.

Does Particulate Reduction Help Explain Progressive Global Warming Trends?
Recently a friend of mine, concerned about my well being (and the survival of the planet), asked me to take a serious look at global warming.
