Lies about global warming

Dec 11, 2009 12:29

I find it strange that scientists would lie. I guess it was naive of me to assume that all scientists are interested in research because they would like to uncover mysteries and truths. But, as it turns out, when the truth turns out to be the opposite of what the scientist wanted to prove, there is a chance that he may lie and alter the data so that no one else would know the truth.

Some time ago, there was a scientist who added rocks and grout and other animal bones to a dinosaur fossil to "prove" that birds did evolve from dinosaurs. If that's not silly enough, now there is a group of scientists who deliberately manipulated and exaggerated the data on global warming.

The big question is, why would the scientists lie? What is their agenda?

The Asians Who Live in Trees

The first time I saw this image was many years ago in a National Geographic magazine. This is a typical house in Irian Jaya, the part of Indonesia that borders Papua New Guinea. I saw this image again today and it took my breath away.

What do you think? Would you consider this a green building?

Asia is so diverse, isn't it? There are many here who still depend on produce from rainforests to provide their food and clothing of the day.

An industrialized island that's self-sustainable through green energy

Many years ago, people thought that it would be difficult for Singapore to survive without any natural resources except for water from Malaysia. However, somehow Singapore made it through and became a prosperous island nation.

Is it possible also for an industrialized island to survive without any source of energy other than sustainable energy? Well, why not? More than 10 years ago, an island in Denmark started harvesting energy from wind power. Since then, the island has become completely self-sustainable.

What do you think? Could this become true for our country as well, starting from a small island, perhaps Langkawi?

It's seven more days to Hopenhagen, the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Do you know what to expect?

Leaders of 192 countries will be meeting to discuss what commitment all of them should make to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and by how much, and what commitments they should make to ensure that they use the natural resources of their country in a sustainable way.

What technology do you use to manage a family?

Nov 25, 2009 19:01

My sister-in-law has given birth to a baby boy. We're thrilled to have him.

After the birth of baby Ethan, I started observing how his parents and other parents use technology to manage having a newborn baby. My sis-in-law has created an Excel sheet to monitor his milking patterns and loops nursery rhymes on her iPhone (she's still on maternity leave).
