  2. Back for another try. For discussion sake, does anybody think that the mysterious deep holes appearing in Siberia could be due to black holes manufactured in CERN experiments reverberating through the earth. Ya know, bouncing back and forth through the core?

  3. After all, Islam is every bit as much a religion of faith as Christianity. Good for Dawkins!
    As for feminism it is indefensible.

  4. Somebody probably does. Somebody also believes they’re caused by the aliens at he base on the far side of he moon that we never get to see.
    There’s always somebody believing something, regardless of how preposterous it is.

    “They’re two casualties of the polar vortex that plagued southern Ontario this winter. A frigid and prolonged season took its toll on grape vines, with some faring better than others.”

    “Global Temperature Update – Still no global warming for 17 years 10 months”
    “El Niño has not yet shortened the Great Pause
    By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley
    Remarkably, the El Niño warming of this year has not yet shortened the Great Pause, which, like last month, stands at 17 years 10 months with no global warming at all.”

  15. We have watched the world’s feckless, fumbling efforts to control Russian President Vladimir Putin drive to control developments in Ukraine and ultimately the “old” Soviet empire. To no avail – nor is there any real expectation of such.
    Putin holds the initiative based on the cold calculations by other actors: That confrontation, let alone war, would be more costly than accommodation; That Russian financial interests in major European industrial and energy firms create political leverage militating against serious sanctions; and a recognition that real Russian hostility could scuttle possible solutions to non-Ukraine issues ranging from Syrian chemical weapons to Iranian nukes to U.S. transits to the Space Station. (One Russian official sneeringly suggested we send our astronauts/cargoes up by “slingshot.”)
    Consequently, Putin’s opponents have elected to endure, hopefully contain, but not reverse Putin’s seizure of Crimea. Trivial temporizing has been the response.

  16. Those look like collapsed calderas to me. The surface of the lava pool can cool and harden into a thin dome of rock. If the lava underneath drains away through some other fissure, you’re left with a thin dome of rock suspended above a chasm. Later, maybe years later, a single crack in that thin rock layer will cause the whole thing to collapse, and the result is a suddenly-appearing hole in the ground. If I’m right, earlier satellite shots of that area will show the crater rim and no hole in the crater.

    ““A humanitarian tragedy is unfolding in Sinjar,” UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov said”.
    “It’s an epidemic vector, with ISIS playing the role of Ebola.”
    “The name of the game is proxy war.
    The Business Insider notes that despite appearances to the contrary, the Gaza strip conflict is actually a proxy war between one Arab/Muslim faction and the another.”

    “News that ISIS has seized Iraq’s biggest water impoundment facility, the Mosul dam, and taken 3 towns despite nominal Kurdish opposition will come as no surprise to readers of the Belmont Club.”

    “In Flanders Fields
    by John McCrae, May 1915
    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.
    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.
    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.”

    “Photographer of Syria’s dead dissidents and rebels tells U.S. Congress panel of horrors he saw”
    “Graphic images of emaciated and bloodied corpses in the Syrian civil war were presented to uncharacteristically silent members of Congress Thursday as a former military photographer testified about the signs of savagery he witnessed.
    Codenamed “Caesar,” the man appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in disguise, his face concealed by a blue hooded raincoat, hat and glasses. Before defecting from Syria last year, he smuggled out 55,000 photos showing more than 10,000 bodies.
    Fearing for his safety, the man whispered to an interpreter, who repeated his words aloud in English.
    He said he witnessed a “genocidal massacre.””
