Nonstop Silliness | Cruel Mistress
https://cruelmistress.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/non-stop-silliness
Being Human on a Harsh Planet. Laquo; Red in Tooth and Claw. October 30, 2009. Levitt and Dubner apparently don’t back down. Here’s their article from Wednesday’s USA Today. I’m sure they’re selling a lot of books, but in doing so, they’re being disingenuous: acting one way and simultaneously decrying what they’re doing. The second set of scientists returned with a very different answer. Their solution cost less than one-thousandth as much to implement and did not require anyone to change his behavio...

Climategate Redux | Cruel Mistress
https://cruelmistress.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/climategate-redux
Being Human on a Harsh Planet. The future looks nasty. November 22, 2011. Brace yourselves… BBC has the scoop. Contents include more than 5,000 emails and other documents, some relating to work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). A similar release in 2009 triggered the “ClimateGate” affair and accusations of fraud that inquiries later dismissed. Now, as then, the release comes shortly before the annual UN climate summit.

Being Human on a Harsh Planet. Laquo; Climategate Redux. The future looks nasty. January 14, 2014. Our planet could warm by as much as 7.2 Fahrenheit degrees by the end of this century if nothing is done to stop or slow the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, according to a study published in the scientific journal Nature. Propagation of error, a standard of the physical sciences, is apparently foreign to climate modeling. It doesn’t exist in the published literature. Enter your comment here.

Mr. Fix It | Cruel Mistress
https://cruelmistress.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/mr-fix-it
Being Human on a Harsh Planet. Laquo; Misreading the Point. Skydiving for the Earthbound. October 23, 2009. Keith Kloor kindly baits me with this thoughtful post. How can I resist a reply? The first step in understanding my position may come through somewhat more formal channels. I recently published an essay at Science Progress. That essay is primarily on ocean fertilization, though some of the arguments can be parlayed to geoengineering more generally. But that’s not all…. Sometimes advocates of policy...

Caveat Emptor | Cruel Mistress
https://cruelmistress.wordpress.com/caveat-emptor
Being Human on a Harsh Planet. I am not a scientist. I approach most of the questions I raise about science, policy, or politics from the vantage of a philosopher; which is to say, from a position of self-imposed ignorance. I do this hopefully impartially. Though I am not always successful at disregarding my partial leanings. Usually I believe myself to have a defense for my leanings, so if I’m pressed on something, I’m happy to (try to) offer that defense. Change the Moral Calculus. Change the Moral Cal...

Geoengineering Trials | Cruel Mistress

Being Human on a Harsh Planet. September 9, 2011. It will be interesting to see how this geoengineering trial. Goes This is for the so-called SPICE trial:. FIELD trials for experiments to engineer the climate have begun. Next month a team of UK researchers will hoist one end of a 1-kilometre-long hose aloft using a balloon, then attempt to pump water up it and spray it into the atmosphere. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
