I watched the news unfold last night and there was a lot of that

I think journalism now consists of monitoring a closely related twitter feed. One guy last night said "And there's a host of Police Motorcycles driving down Franklin Street"

Yes we just saw them behind you TV is a visual medium !

Recently had a discussion with a Ex-TV Producer about the obsessive need to recap what we have just been shown. And it's down to there now being hundreds of channels and they have to update those that have just joined.

How about making TV programs with enough content to make people put it in their schedule and then enlighten them throughout the allotted time for the program so they "tune in" next week at the same time for more quality stuff.

Some programs don't have any content they just recap and recap and recap again. Science programs used to have science in them

Now it's just Brian Cox.


More verbiage from Mr Hansen

http://dissidentvoice.org/2013/04/400000-hiroshima-atomic-bombs-per-day/

"Recent studies suggest that billions of years ago Venus’s atmosphere was much more like the Earth with substantial quantities of water on the surface. Over time, runaway greenhouse gases caused evaporation of the water. Today, Venus is the hottest planet at 900 degrees F shrouded by an opaque layer of clouds. It has the densest atmosphere of the terrestrial planets, and it is kept hot by a thick carbon dioxide, CO2, atmosphere.

In this fashion, the fatal attraction of fossil fuels is bound to vaporize planet Earth’s precious water."

.....Yes and Venus is ~ 1/4 our distance from the Sun closer. An atmospheric pressure 92 greater than ours, It's atmosphere is over 96% CO2 (Ours is 0.04%) It has no magnetic field to protect it from the Solar Wind. It is constantly resurfaced by volcanic activity. One day on Venus lasts longer than it's year and rotating almost vertically with respect to the Sun it has no Seasons.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus

But don't let a few facts like that get in the way of the hyperbole Mr Hansen. Yes you are so right Venus is the perfect proxy for what is going to happen to the Earth

A global propaganda campaign will glorify Earth Day and its message is that you must change your life to accommodate the lies that sustain the environmental movement and permit government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency to strangle the economic life of the nation. http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/...ions&utm_medium=email

Earth Day 1970 Predictions

compare and contrast with the current claims of our imminent doom


"As Bjorn Lomberg wrote and documented in the “Skeptical Environmentalist,” most claims by environmental groups are not supported by the facts and the environment is in much better shape than we are led to believe. Keep that in mind this Earth Day."


Nice positive note to end on

Yes i did!!
