ParticipantLooks like they’re treating the Clintons as a mafia as well:

<Sigh> Science again. So they can’t make accurate climate models but already know how the whole US summer will play out? I’ve seen this one before. At least 1/3 of the time, the Farmer’s Almanac’s or NOAA’s model doesn’t work. It’s fine to have models, and that’s how models go, but don’t get all worked up about it. You know any year there could be an extended drought, so you should have prepared long ago anyway.
Same with the Permian extinction. Not so long ago, there was no theory at all. The dinosaurs either gradually evolved into us, or died somehow. Then there was a theory of extinction, trying to tie together two big, long-ago events: everyone knew that the asteroid hit the gulf and ended the Permian. Now we don’t know that anymore: it’s all silly talk. Now we DEFINITELY know that from a few ash samples, far smaller, harder-to-measure events that mirror today’s news ended it all. Absolutely, definitely this time.
I’m not arguing for or against this version of the Permian Extinction event. Plausible and certainly could be true. But again, this is a theory, a model. Every. Single. Day. scientific models are discredited and revised–as you see from this very example, often solid, widely-accepted theories are suddenly and wildly revised into new territory. That being so for at least the last 100 years, can we just accept that they’re models, they’re flawed and in progress, and not pretend they’re definitive? Think about all the theories that have come an gone in your lifetime already–even if you’re 10 years old. Blink and in a few years there’ll be another. Relax. Panic doesn’t engender a wise and accurate response, which is what we most need right now.

ParticipantStill a little bit of Greece in there. But the trend seems to be subsiding. Wonder when Chicago will take it’s place in the media as Zombi Prince. It does, after all have a GDP of, what, twice that of Greece?
Add in Illinois as a whole, and, well,,,

ParticipantOn that little egg house, as I commented on Fred’s Humboldt blog, throw an axle under that and it would make a fine RV. Neo Teardrop Trailer?
Not too far ahead of it’s time, considering design of the first ones in the 1940’s.
