POPSGlobal Warming Scientist Comes Clean
1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it. Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most... We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever. If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. 2. There is no evidence that carbon emissions cause significant global warming. None. ... 3. The satellites that measure the world's temperature all say that the warming trend ended in 2001, and that the temperature has dropped about 0.6C in the past year 4. ice cores show that in the past... half a million years, the temperature rises occurred on average 800 years before the accompanying rise in atmospheric carbon.

POPSMcCain Tax Plan favors Wealthy, Offers Little For Middle Class Right wing tax cut zealot/activist Grover Norquist agrees that McCain's tax policies are farther right than even Bush's. "The McCain tax policy is to continue the Bush tax cuts and add three more, so I prefer McCain," he told Salon. "McCain's is bigger, better." When Grover Norquist is excited about a tax policy, it means that people who aren't rich would be screwed. It's practically a law of physics.

POPSSolar system a bit squashed, not nicely round "Imagine a balloon is being blown up by the solar wind. You might imagine that if you took a balloon, which is mainly spherical, and pushed it against the wall, it would be blunted on one side," said Edward Stone of the California Institute of Technology, one of the scientists involved in the research.

POPSRise of the Inflatable Car Just when you thought the boasting from XP couldn’t get any more far-fetched, the cars also have the added advantage of being able to be driven off a cliff without serious injury and the capability to float in the event of flood or tsunami. But surely they’ll just burst? Well, actually no they won’t. Not only are they constructed out of the same polymer materials used to cushion NASA's rovers when they landed on Mars; multiple chambers will protect the vehicle from just popping like a balloon. Ludicrous as they might sound, these cars may well be the future of driving as we know it. At around $10,000, these vehicles should be in production by 2010 so don’t be surprised if a miniature bouncy castle on wheels overtakes you on the motorway in a few years time.

POPSEntitlement Creep Forecasts for entitlement spending are eye-popping. If we don't want to mirror Europe's slow decline (people don't take jobs because the government pays more, for not working), we must stop this. Increasing taxes isn't the answer.

POPS Boy fined for dropping balloon "Just a baloon." This is how it starts, just a baloon, just a crisp packet, just a cigarette box. Everyone who litters thinks exactly the same thing. I see it all round where I live, kids dropping fast food wrappers, parents dropping plastic wrap of cigarette boxes, it disgusts me. I say he should be fined more! And his mother for defending the little littering gobsh**e.
