This satellite tracking program gives the impression that we have so much junk floating around the earth that it is amazing we can launch a shuttle or rocket without knocking something down.

Every time we see one of those claw games the children jump and down begging to play. I disappoint them explaining that they can’t win. Maybe I am wrong. And maybe they can win in multiple ways. Apparently, they can learn patience, and some science skills as well as a prize.

CNN reports: Study: Earth ‘likely’ hottest in 2,000 years

The National Academy of Sciences, reaching that conclusion in a broad review of scientific work requested by Congress, reported Thursday that the “recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia.”

A panel of top climate scientists told lawmakers that the Earth is heating up and that “human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming.”

This is Bush’s fault!

Other new research Thursday showed that global warming produced about half of the extra hurricane-fueled warmth in the North Atlantic in 2005, and natural cycles were a minor factor

Or maybe Jesus’…Because, it was cool when he was around.

The Bush administration has maintained that the threat is not severe enough to warrant new pollution controls…

Yes! It’s Bush’s fault!

The National Academy of Sciences is a private organization chartered by Congress to advise the government of scientific matters.

Ok then…it’s Jesus’ fault.

BoingBoing points to another study showing exercise and proper eating being very beneficial to our brains. This complements the information in Make Smarter Children.
