My Thursday Miscellany: Page 3.14; Global Warming's Tipping Point; Barometer Bob....

Seventeen months ago, I blogged about the first signs of this political tipping point. Glad you're finally catching up ;) :p

Here's an excerpt of "Has the climate change debate reached a tipping point?" Click my name for the full entry, including some links.

In recent months, mainstream scientists have been more willing to speak out about speculation that global warming may mean that Earth's climate is on the verge of a possibly catastrophic "tipping point," beyond which future human technology will not be able to undo the effects of past and ongoing excesses. People who view this as a left-wing ideological issue may have to change their tone, now that a group of prominent evangelical Christians have called for environmental action before it is too late.

The late Carl Sagan would smile. In Billions and Billions, his final book written a decade ago, Sagan spoke of the need for science and religion to come together as stewards of planet Earth. He debunked the idea that the debate of climate change is a partisan issue.

I can only hope Sagan's hopes are beginning to be realized.

A professional soccer player and then a professional musician...

You still haven't told us what position you played. My money's on either halfback or fullback...

Hey Jon....
Fullback in high school; striker for my club team. Weird combo, I know.

Nice interview by SEED. Of course, given your 'sexiest geek' status, there's not much I could say in a Q&A to impress folks now ;)

Yeah, that is an interesting combo. Kind of like catcher and then pitcher. Shows versatility...
