Legacy Journal: Polls, Surveys and Statistics; Lip-Synching; the Persian Gulf

Section:
News: International

Summary:
“Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.” --- Mark Twain

* The average American does not trust polls or pollsters, they do not like phone calls at mealtime from bucket shop mills conducting survey, and they are wary of statistics and models when they proport to predicate the future of complex events like life span any particular aging person, national economies, climate.

A Middlebury College Physics professor, in part of a Video Course on using science to reconstruct, model or simulate the earth’s temperature record over the past 4.6 billion years, was unable to give one example of how the proxy studies of tree rings or oxygen isotopes are yielding reliable and verifiable temperature data today.

* Bush in the U.A.Es and Saudi Arabia is flying the flag and promoting two bedrock keystones of American Foreign Policy since WW II, the containment of nuclear weapons and flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf.

Main:
: The Pew Trust does some good work. Eileen Clausen is their geocrat director of their Center on Global Climate Change.

:: the winter OLLI series at Osher RIT includes an offering taught by Tim McDonnell titled Amazing Life of Earth. He is funny, fast paced, and fact based. His experience as a presenter is evident. He has no notes, his Power Point slides have a point, and his handouts are clear and concise. Good stuff. A follow on “science class” on Global Warming was a less successful effort to “ lip-synch” the IPPC and Al Gore.

::: Meanwhile, the good news is that at least one F-16 Falcon U.S. pilot, a Persian Gulf pro, will be back in country in time to do some serious snow skiing in the Rockies. Way to go Major!
