Science Shock: CO2 is Good for the Planet, Peer-Reviewed Studies Suggest Tue Dec 24, 2024 09:00 | Chris Morrison
Dramatic evidence has been published in a number of recent science papers that CO2 levels are already?'saturated', meaning little or no further warming is to be expected and rising CO2 levels are all beneficial.

Whoever Rules Britain Is Going to Be Unpopular Tue Dec 24, 2024 07:00 | Noah Carl
It isn't so much that the Tories are getting more popular as that Labour is getting less so. Which illustrates a more general predicament for the Tories and any other party that might have aspirations to government.

At Christmas time, Dr David Bell reflects on what has true value in this world, the limits of science to tell us what that is and what a baby in a manger might have to say about it.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Justin Raimondo, writing on the pacifist Anti-war.com site today sees Lindsey Graham’s speech as a desperate move to the right as a response to the recent gains of the Tea Party faction within the Republican Party .
“In the case of a desperate politician like Sen. Graham, who is clearly in the Tea Party’s sights, what he’s trying to do ought to be clear enough: he’s trying to do what every politician spends most of his time doing – get reelected.” http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2010/11/07/lindsey-g...tion/
But Graham isn’t up for re-election until 2014 , and the conservative senator from South Carolina is not any sort of a maverick backwoodsman trying to get back in touch with his right wing base . He is a senior Republican who sits on the Armed Services Committee and the Homeland Security Committee and who, as a friend and confidant of former presidential contender Sen John McCain, enjoys the closest relationship with the military top brass .
Democrats who appear astounded by Graham's “containment is off the table" remarks have been asking how Obama can now “nudge Mr. Graham back into the fold” of bi-partisanship unaware that the carefully crafted Halifax speech was in fact bi-partisanship unfolding.
The threat Graham delivered in Halifax ,coming so shortly after the rout of Democrats in mid-term elections , should be seen as an early and public indication of the foreign policies that republicans will be expecting from President Obama in exchange for bi-partisanship for the remainder of his presidency and taken as a warning on the policies to be expected from a future Republican administration.
....if you rattle the sabre long and loud enough, when Israel hits the button and delivers your threat, your fig-leaf of bluff blows down the road with its withered moral authority.
I can already hear the outraged White House, '....we never authorised such unilateral acts...', and '..steps must be taken to ensure no repeat....'.
