Legacy Journal: Friday Final Edition: Philanthropy, mandates, and Spring in the Rockies

Section:
Almanac

Summary:
* George Will recently brought to our attention that Compassionate Conservatives a better givers than Liberals

That reminds us of a recently passed health insurance coverage mandate in Arizona. It is for an expensive, intense, and unproven treatment for early childhood autism. This is an example of a non-evidence based public policy favoring a small group at the expense of others including rate payers and those denied benefits of expensive but clinically effective treatments like organ transplants.

* This week a group of global warming gurus are meeting in Aspen, Colorado where the ski season has been spectacular. One story has been on large sea ice sheets become detached and exposing the face and underbelly advancing glaciers. One Stanford based “Climate Scientist” with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering appears to be concerned about the heat generated by the rock on rock rubbing at the glacial - gravel interface. The result is water that lubricates and accelerates the glacially march to the sea where may tend to change local salinity and raise ocean levels over centuries. Hum.

Main:
: It appears that Conservatives contribute both time and treasure to causes that are often faith based. Yes, Mormons are expected to tithe. Environmental
preachers are not.

:: Special interest insurance mandates are an example of an economic moral hazard. In the case of mandating coverage of chest spiral CT for screening smokers for early lung cancer appears to also included an unknown financial conflict of interest on the part of at least one Columbia University Weil Medical Center radiologist.

::: Meanwhile, the temperature in Aspen last night was a cool 29.

Legacy Journal: Tuesday Lessions: Maps, Tall Tales, Western Trails

Section:
Almanac

Summary:
“Some politicians can put more words into small ideas than most other folks.” --- A. Lincoln

* Maps: The National Geographic Society, NG the Magazine, and GeoPedia have a Strong feature on Permafrost with a carbon twist.

Tall Tales, embellished recollections by office seekers are as American as Apple pie.

* Who was the first American to make the Pacific coast to Atlantic coast overland crossing on all U.S territory?

Main:
: It is claimed that Permafrost locks up more than 800 Gigtons of carbon dioxide.

:: Hillary Clinton now states that she misspoke when she claimed to have been under the threat of snipper fire when she visited Bosnia ten years ago. Her campaign has recently ken on the desperate appearance of a long death march..

::: Recall the year that New Albion moved from Mexican (Californio) to Americano control during the Polk Presidency with persistent prodding by Senator Benton of St. Louis, Missouri. The year was 1846, called the Decision Year by Bernard DeVoto in his 1943 historical narrative of the 750,000 sq. mile addition to the bicoastal continental U.S, and the runup to the Civil War to preserve that Union.

Legacy Journal: Going Green on Sunday TV: Melting Ice, Football , and Primary Coverage

Section:
TV

Summary:
* On this Football Sunday, two NYC heavy weights , CBS and the NYTimes are on the same page. Both are rerunning that old green melting ice story yet again. Are the 60 Minutes writers on strike? Perhaps the nytimes editorial staff are visiting a handy hideout this weekend.

During the Sunday prime time viewing slot, New Yorkers will be joining the rest of the country to watch the surprising Giants play a night game against the Packers in Green Bay. Burr.

* Are the Sunday morning Political News folks missing something or do they really like traveling and reporting twice from South Carolina to cover the separate party primaries. It must be a way of priming the pump of the local travel and hospitality services. Meanwhile, who is covering events in Europe this week? The Secretary of State of off to annual Davos economic meeting in Switzerland. She is also doing some Brussels business.

We also note that the 2009 US Presidential inauguration is exactly one year away.

Main:
: CBS Sunday Morning is looking long in the tooth. Aging rocker and former drug user David Crosby is not the picture of good health since his liver transplant, even against the scenic backdrop of his California vineyards and leisurely sailing the Pacific Ocean.

:: The temperature today in Rochester peaked at 19 degrees.

::: Economics, Business and Trade are being to move front and center in local and regional discussions. The Governor of New York has visited upstate New York to deliver a regional economic state of the state address in Buffalo, which has the highest unemployment rate among the 10 leading jobs reporting regions in the state. Westchester county in down state NY fairs best at 3.3%

Legacy Journal: Changes are 100 % that Alarms will sound.

Section:
None

Summary:
Natural Disasters make for arresting images and a cascade of TV time for was are called “ availability entrepreneurs” by science blogger., Jon Tierney of the nytimes, in his popular and timely New Years piece, “ In 2008, a 100 Percent Change of Alarm.”

(Carmel California, see more at Carmel Scenes.).

* Freezing oranges, tomatoes and strawberries in Florida. No problem for AGW scientists to explain away.

9 degrees Rochester,NY, zero in Des Moines, Iowa. Wait for the warming next week.

* No hurricanes this season. Wait until the next Big One.

Meanwhile, what about the science? Is the tide turning in favor of evidence that is not currently popular, accepted, funded or published?

Main:
A show of hands among the regular gang at the gym shows that most are unconcerned about carbon in the air. They drive to the gym from their fossil fuel heated homes to swim in 83 water, take a steam bath, a sauna, a whirl pool and have some hot coffee and soup while planning their upcoming winter trip to Arizona or Florida or the latest ice hockey scores.

So, what is missing here? Tierney says there is massive misinterpretation of weather.
