Pope at Mass: The subtle danger of idolatry
Here's a nice excerpt from the pope's homily today: "It’s not enough to say: 'But I believe in God, God is the only God.' That’s fine, but how do you live this out in your life’s journey? Because we can say, 'The Lord is the only God, there is no other', but then live as if He was not the only God and have other deities at […]
Survey of 12,000 studies finds strong agreement on climate change | Ars Technica
Trusting Science There's a big problem and I'm not sure what to do about it. Currently approximately half the people in the country believe that there is no consensus amongst climate scientists as to if climate changes is caused by humans. Unfortunately over 97% of climate scientists and the papers they publish agree that climate change is caused b […]
Bangladesh factory collapse: Why women endure danger to make clothes for the West - World News
About the Bangladesh Factory Collapse Both Sonya and her husband worked on the same floor of Rana Plaza, stitching jeans. On the day of the collapse, her husband told her to stay at home while he checked on the safety of the building. He never came back.

Between 1982 (when the measurements got accurate) and 2005 the north pole had been drifting down towards Labrador, Canada at a rate of 6cm/yr. However, after 2005 the rate has substantially increased to 21cm/yr and started moving directly towards greenland. The reason for this? "When mass is lost in one part of a spinning sphere, its spin axis will tilt […]
FBI's Latest Proposal for a Wiretap-Ready Internet Should Be Trashed | Wired Opinion | Wired.com
The FBI is worried because online services like skype, dropbox, and gmail are too secure and they can't hack in and watch what people are doing. So they're trying to make a law that says these service providers have to put holes in their security so the FBI get in. The HUGE problem with this that then hackers with malicious intent can find those sa […]
Beyond Unlocking: Don't Let Them Kill the First Reasonable Copyright Reform Bill | Wired Opinion | Wired.com
One of the (many) items I talked about during last-year's #IPSharkWeek was the ability to unlock and use as you see fit the devices you own (cell phones, computers, cars, printers, garage door openers, etc.), it just make sense, right? Well wonder of wonders, a bi-partisan group of representatives are actually proposing legislation that does just this, […]
Carbon Dioxide at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Observatory reaches new milestone: Tops 400 ppm
The atmospheric concentration of CO2 has just passed an alarming milestone. 400 parts per million. When I was born, the concentration was around 340PPM and when my parents were born it was aroudn 320PPM. All of this is up from what it was for 99% of the time humans were on this planet, which was abotu 280PPM. Another way to look at it, the last time the atmo […]

China Took the Clean Energy Lead in 2012, and Will Likely Stay There | Motherboard
So we put all this investment into making some really solid renewable energy tech. Specifically solar and wind systems that are cheaper to install and operate than coal or gas plants. However, now we're not following through and capitalizing on our advantage, instead we're sitting on our hands and letting china get ahead of us.
