Legacy Journal: Iowa: The Purple State

Section:
Politics

Summary:
Iowa is often thought of a red, white, and blue representative of Heartland Americana. The results of state’s 2007 Republican and Democrat party bruising caucus competiton is more some shade of purple ,lavender, or lilac. Black and yellow are Hawkeye colors, but big city Illinois was a big winner, and The Oprah factor may have played a role. Apparently, the Harlem based lieutenant -governor of NY, the Latino mayor of Los Angeles, the former Secretary of State in the Clinton administration, and the collection of labor bosses that attended the Hillary “victory celebration” in Iowa were visibly stunned by results.

Main:
The state’s anti-war, isolationist streak once again surfaced. The Quad Cities and Des Moine media center appears to have influential, but not decisive.

On the Republican side, the two leaders, Huchabee and Romney shared 59% of the secret Republican party caucus vote. Three others, Guliani, Thompson and Paul, shared 41%. On the Democrat side, the three candidates standing shared 97% at end of the evening rounds of non secret balloting.

So, the conclusions are:

: The 1% of Iowans who are potential voters in the national presidential vote in November are not good at voting the next leader of the Free World.
They did not vote for native son and California transplant, Ronald Reagan, in 1980. The follow on folks in the Granite state did.

:: Iowan’s are not pleased with the Clinton legacy, influenced by the Clinton machine, nor swayed by the Clinton money.

::: Push poll tactics had a negative reaction in Iowa.

:::: As of New Hampshire and ABC TV showcase, five Republicans and three Democrats are still standing.

Legacy Journal: Friday Summary: Testing standards for steroids, HGH, and carbon dioxide.

Section:
Commentary

Summary:

“There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.”

Question?:

#1: What is the “best quess” average surface land temperature of the continental United States?

#2; What is the absolute increase over 50 years in the the carbon dioxide concentration in ppm as measured by Keeling and displayed by his Curve at Mauna Loa, Hawaii?

The UN IPCC Bali fest is over and without significant results. No Highs. No Lows. No Home Runs. Blame the U.S and the current administration, feed the press predictions of corral extinction and island flooding, release baby turtles into tide pools, and return to the snows storms of New York City if your jet can get clearance to land. But, the jet trails from Bali are a sign of more meeting over the next two years to put meat on the bones and numbers on the Road Map. Rest assured that no meeting will be held in a midwest Interstate truck stop diner.

The stats of climate sceptic Bjorn Lomborg continue to be fairly report by the press in his native country, Denmark.

Main:
Revkin of Dot Earth blog site at the nytimes stayed home in NYC while colleagues covered Bali and the San Francisco meeting of the American GeoPhysical Union. Coral reef bleaching by warm acidic tropical ocean waters is one of Revkin’s concerns. He also covers the Arctic region ---during the summer. Beware of pictures of Polar bears in full sunlight in winter time articles.

Meanwhile, the Mitchell Report has been released. The position of the Unions that represent most American Professional Athletes is now clear. They oppose using blood to test for performance enhancing drug, some of which could be used for filling criminal charges. Urine testing for metabolic products has become more sophisticated, but if you want the unfiltered truth, go for the serum. That is were the action is. For an accurate, precise and definitive result, your doctor will order a blood test. Diabete? Pregnacy? Hepatitis? Hypothyroid? Malaria? Menopause? The tests quick, inexpensive, automated, and widely available. Tests for HGH was available now; more are on their way to the marketplace.
90% certainty by be good enough for the UN IPCC. Blood test for pregnancy are > 99.9%. Welcome to the world of black or white, yes or nor, right or wrong, eat or west, up or down. Get over it.

Answer: #1:

54 degrees F. The average temperature would be lower if you included Alaska, Canada and their ice masses and the surface temperatures of their contiguous waters.

#2: 50-70 ppm. The average is less than one ppm per year. The initial 1958 reading was 320 ppm. That is an absolute interval change of 0.007% ! Remember we a talking parts per million here. Water vapor is the primary atmospheric driver in maintaining a remarkably stable average temperature of planet Earth. The earth’s orbit, tilt and the Sun’s radiant output are of course dynamic external variables.
