comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels journalism q how many denialists does it take to change a light bulb a light comes from the sun duh a we should wait until it gets dark to see whether the bulb is really broken a the great light bulb swindle is a scam by big light bulb to sell more light bulbs a the darkenists don t even understand basic science energy can neither be created nor destroyed therefore darkness is impossible a nazi a it s ok it has been much darker than this in the past during the medieval dark ages there were vikings in greenland a if the light bulb needed changing the market would have changed it by now a fascist a darkness is beneficial it will increase mushroom yields and make life better for owls a there is a natural 24 hour cycle of light and dark which humans have a negligible impact on anyway we are just about to enter a natural darkening period a genesis 1 3 tells us let there be light the power of

labels thistle thoughts wednesday january 12 2011 guest blogger today s guest blogger is a a milne on how not to be fooled by the seeming expert the arrival of blackman s warbler i am become an authority on birds it happened in this way the other day we heard the cuckoo in hampshire the next morning the papers announced that the cuckoo had been heard in devonshire possibly a different one but in no way superior to ours except in the matter of its press agent well everybody in the house said did you hear the cuckoo to everybody else until i began to get rather tired of it and having told everybody several times that i had heard it i tried to make the conversation more interesting so after my tenth yes i added quite casually but i haven t heard the tufted pipit yet it s funny why it should be so late this year is that the same as the tree pipit said my hostess who seemed to know more about birds than i had hoped oh no i said quickly what s the difference exactly well one is tufted i said doing my best and the other er climbs trees oh i see and of course the eggs are more speckled i added gradually acquiring confidence i often wish i knew more about birds she said regretfully you must tell us something about them now we ve got you here and all this because of one miserable cuckoo by all means i said wondering how long it would take to get a book about birds down from london however it was easier than i thought we had tea in the garden that afternoon and a bird of some kind struck up in the plane tree there now said my hostess what s that i listened with my head on one side the bird said it again that s the lesser bunting i said hopefully the lesser bunting said an earnest looking girl i shall always remember that i hoped she wouldn t but i could hardly say so fortunately the bird lesser bunted again and i seized the opportunity of playing for safety or is it the sardinian white throat i wondered they have very much the same note during the breeding season but of course the eggs are more speckled i added casually and so on for the rest of the evening you see how easy it is however the next afternoon a more unfortunate occurrence occurred a real bird authority came to tea as soon as the information leaked out i sent up a hasty prayer for bird silence until we had got him safely out of the place but it was not granted our feathered songster in the plane tree broke into his little piece there said my hostess there s that bird again she turned to me what did you say it was i hoped that the authority would speak first and that the others would then accept my assurance that they had misunderstood me the day before but he was entangled at that moment in a watercress sandwich the loose ends of which were still waiting to be tucked away i looked anxiously at the girl who had promised to remember in case she wanted to say something but she also was silent everybody was silent except that miserable bird well i had to have another go at it blackman s warbler i said firmly oh yes said my hostess blackman s warbler i shall always remember that lied the earnest looking girl the authority who was free by this time looked at me indignantly nonsense he said it s the chiff chaff everybody else looked at me reproachfully i was about to say that blackman s warbler was the local name for the chiff chaff in our part of somerset when the authority spoke again the chiff chaff he said to our hostess with an insufferable air of knowledge i wasn t going to stand that so i thought when i heard it first i said giving him a gentle smile it was now the authority s turn to get the reproachful looks are they very much alike my hostess asked me much impressed very much blackmail s warbler is often mistaken for the chiff chaff even by so called experts and i turned to the authority and added have another sandwich won t you particularly so of course during the breeding season it is true that the eggs are more speckled but bless my soul said the authority but it was easy to see that he was shaken i should think i know a chiff chaff when i hear one ah but do you know a blackman s warbler one doesn t often hear them in this country now in algiers the bird said chiff chaff again with an almost indecent plainness of speech there you are i said triumphantly listen and i held up a finger you notice the difference obviously a blackman s warbler everybody looked at the authority he was wondering how long it would take to get a book about birds down from london and deciding that it couldn t be done that afternoon meanwhile he did not dare to repudiate me for all he had caught of our mumbled introduction i might have been blackman myself possibly you re right he said reluctantly another bird said chiff chaff from another tree and i thought it wise to be generous there i said now that was a chiff chaff the earnest looking girl remarked silly creature that it sounded just like the other one but nobody took any notice of her they were all busy admiring me of course i mustn t meet the authority again because you may be pretty sure that when he got back to his books he looked up blackman s warbler and found that there was no such animal but if you mix in the right society and only see the wrong people once it is really quite easy to be an authority on birds or i imagine on anything else from a a milne the sunny

professor ian plimer has not been averse in the past to pontificating on areas in which he is not qualified such as economics in 1985 inflation is not expected to disappear and hence gold will remain and important component of investment portfolios any rapid increase in price would cause gold to be dishoarded and adversely affect industrial demand as a result the price would stabilise therefore gold mines look good business in the coming uncertain years he also predicted some projections suggest by the period 1995 to 2000 the ussr will produce more gold than south africa south africa is the biggest world producer of gold chromium vanadium diamonds and platinoids with the ussr being the seconde biggest producer for each of these essential commodities how wrong can you be in 2000 russia not the ussr was a distant sixth in world production producing only 5 5 of the world s gold in 2010 china was the largest producer a country not even mentioned by professor plimer posted by eor at

an irish study looking at how the mother s use of complementary and alternative medicine is associated with a lower uptake of mmr vaccine as the study notes in its introduction these mothers aren t making a decision for their own child they are actively affecting the health of other children who along with their parents have had no say in such delusional decisions since they re too young to be vaccinated but old enough to be infected with diseases since august 2009 there has been a large outbreak of measles in ireland with 320 cases of whom 206 were unvaccinated 36 of the cases were hospitalised but no deaths were reported up to february 2010 fifty six cases were aged under 1 year and so not eligible for vaccination showing that in communities were vaccination uptake is low younger children are vulnerable to infection it also shows how it only takes a minority to have these beliefs and even if those vaccinating are in the majority herd immunity becomes ineffective this linkage cohort study showed that most children aged 5 years had received their first mmr immunisation but below the recommended threshold for population protection so how many children died because of one man s fraudulent science and why aren t there more people in the media giving delusional nutter meryl dorey the treatment she deserves posted by eor at saturday january 08 2011 no comments email
