Vancouver’s Magnificent Cherry Blossoms
In Japanese they’re called “Sakura” but English speakers know them as Cherry Blossoms. They are only in bloom for a short period every year. For residents of Vancouver & Victoria they signify the end of winter and that summer is just around the corner. It’s a very special time of the year.

“So, how much do your co-workers drink, Mr. Selley?”
Embrace the ruthlessness, I say. What the Star is doing to Mr. Ford, Fleet Street’s newspapers have done to British politicians for generations, and there’s no time for sympathy. The careers they ruin are trophies for their mantelpieces and objects of jealousy for their competitors.
Actually, I can get on board with this – the moment that journalists stalk each other with the same predatory venom. The more journalistic careers left in ruin, the better. After all, in this day and age, a reporter is little more than a person who wants to shape public policy without going to the bother of getting elected.
Oh, Shiny Pony!

Y2Kyoto: The Little Molecule That Could
From “global warming” to “climate change” to “climate disruption” to “global cooling” – any excuse will do when they come for your fuel;
NASA’s Langley Research Center has collated data proving that “greenhouse gases” actually block up to 95 percent of harmful solar rays from reaching our planet, thus reducing the heating impact of the sun. The data was collected by Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry, (or SABER). SABER monitors infrared emissions from Earth’s upper atmosphere, in particular from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), two substances thought to be playing a key role in the energy balance of air above our planet’s surface.
Related – “a carbon tax/fee is the key to controlling climate change.”
Update from Anthony Watts: “A misinterpreted claim about a NASA press release”.

Embrace Hollywood
Michael Moore, 2004 – “Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.”
[Robert] Redford’s next film, due out in American theaters early next month, is a homage to Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground.

The Sound Of Settled Science
What would we do without subordinate review?
The Risk Monger (David Zaruk) was astonished to receive an advertisement from the Dutch government looking for 60 young PhD students to help with the next Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.
They salary is “none”. But they are not just looking for any old student. You don’t need experience, but to qualify you need “an affinity with climate change”.
