While the article itself properly describes the phenomenon in its early stages as "loosely coordinated", the word uncoordinated is never used, and is in fact misleading in this write up.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I remain hopeful, however, that they will eventually include the actual footage/recordings. Indeed, I will never surrender, whatever the cost may be. (unless it goes over £1/speech)

His "We will never surrender" speech seems to be listed, but darned if I can get it to play or download... I wonder if there's to be a cost for downloading the old clips.
The ice record is much more relevant, methinks. And while it's true that changes can be observed, there have not been any, outside of catastrophic events such as the dinosaur extinction, that progressed at the current rate which is being observed all over the planet. To say that this is something that we need to "get used to" is, quite simply, cheerleading. Like it or not.
And if you think that the moderators give a damn about this thread, indeed, if you are concerned at all about moderation, then, well, my point is simply reinforced.
Dude. You're a broken record. You're throwing out terms which you have little or no understanding about, and thinking that somehow it's making a point. I've got news for you, it's not. Wagging your finger and claiming that we're not smart enough to understand the system is equivalent to giving up and trusting in chaos. Thanks, but I'll stick with the scientific approach to understanding nature, and leave my faith to understanding other things.
Don't you see that you've become little more than a cheerleader? Blindly accepting what you're being fed? Yellowstone was not a victim of an active solution, quite the contrary. But what your buddy GWB has passed for the Healthy Forest plan is not science, it's a simple payoff. Healthy Forests is, at heart, an active plan, based on a technique called Forest Restoration, developed at me alma mater, by real scientists, not con men, or bootlickers.
Wake up, friend. The truth is available even as you sacrifice your liberties on the alter of fear and ignorance.
A planet, according to him (and you, apparantly), is just too darn big for us puny humans to fuck up, right? That's just silly.
I respect your good intentions, w.r.t. conservation and what not, but in the end, your attitude will only contribute to the problem, which needs a more active solution. As to manipulating nature, perhaps you need to
expand your horizons a bit. It's been done, and it works.
A sheet is a dynamic entity, with different climates and temperature zones throughout. Balance is the key, and while it's clear that the Danes and Norwegians, in their eminent study, _thought_ that the sheet was in balance last year, this latest study just as clearly indicates that is no longer a foregone conclusion.
That study boldly proclaims a net loss of 2cm/yr below 1500m, and conveniently omits steep inclines, and then to ice the cake (if you'll pardon the pun) declares a positive balance. This latest study sets the melt-rate somewhat higher than the Danes and Norwegians, if I understand correctly, not to mention the effects of erosion - and finds sheets in motion that have been stable, motionless, for literally thousands of years.
When mean temperature is raised by three degrees, ice melts. It's happeing all over the arctic, and anyone who thought that somehow Greenland would somehow avoid the trend is, literally, all wet.
Up until just recently, pretty much everyone (even the staunchest environmentalists) thought that the Greenland sheet was quite stable. This does not bode well for the fans of that lovable dane, Bjørn Lomberg, the skeptical environmentalist. As I recall, a good bit of his "evidence" was based on the relative stability, and even mass-increase, of the Greenland sheet - which now seems pretty much debunked by this news. Where's the ice stable now, Mr. Head-in-the-sand? Perhaps Antartica yet bears out your theory? In any case, Denmark lies pretty pretty close to sealevel, as I recall.
Good points. Just as a side note, the team working at Aptera seemed pretty well-funded. I could feel the excitement and anticipation among them anyhow, even as I took my pictures from a relative distance. Aptera as a complete site is also quite nicely maintained a preserved, although it's clear that there is some repairs and research which are "in the queue" for funding as well. Whats perhaps odd, at least regarding Aptera, was the relative tendancy of the locals not to promote it. When I mentioned to several Cretans that I intended a visit there, I got some rather astonished looks - one lady even said, "thats for us". I don't think she meant that I shouldn't go there, but rather intended to express her surprise that an ordinary tourist would be interested... I dunno.
Anyways, a healthy dose of cynicism is probably in order, especially with the way certain sites are being devastated, those in Iraq not the least among them. It's sad indeed.
Archeologists working in Aptera, a walled fortress city on the island of Crete, have
recently announced
the discovery of a very unusual, and very intact, tomb just outside the city. I visited Crete last year
and
took some pictures
at the site - some pretty amazing detail. Then there's the
hitchhiker who found and returned a 6500 y.o. gold pendant
to the Greek authorities recently, she wanted no reward, and preferred to remain anonymous...
I couldnt think of anything funny to say about this new wall, so I figured I'd post something serious.
The broadcasters aren't actively pursuing downloaders of shows for the same reason that they won't make them available for pay-per-download - namely, television shows are already "free".
The copyright law is the same, but actively prosecuting (or re-selling) something which has been previously distributed without cost will simply be more problematic than doing the same for movies or music.
This guy is like one of 3 people in our great nation who's truly willing to get up in the collective face of the administration, and still we have hand-wringing "reasonable" liberals who advise "caution", and fret about him being a provocateur.
Fuck that. Until the rest of the 150 million or so people who haven't been utterly brainwashed by this administration find the gonads to say something more than, "But, he has no exit plan..", Moore is the mouthpiece of the home of the brave, as far as I'm concerned.
And likely a sellout, which grants yet more bandwidth to the existing monopolies. IBOC doesn't compare very well to the Eureka 147 standard which has already been adopted in many places around the world, and doesn't step on anybody's toes. Not to mention the fact that EU147 uses open standards, whereas IBOC is completely proprietary.

But if you have to pull it through (say) conduit, or any other very limited space, then clearly you'll have to terminate (and test) yourself.

No insult intended. But I hope y'all can tread water.

100 million pages removed from his computers is simply inexcusable.
