a collection of things I’ve picked up on this week, but didn’t have the motivation to write about specifically…
from those crazy, right-wing, global warming skeptics at National Geographic:
Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist Says
and [lots of fun discussion at QandO]
Al Gore is a hypocrite (always been my opinion, but here is supporting evidence):
Al Gore: Power Hungry (I read all 8000 comments; it was better than a night of TV)
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, they had conspiracy theorists too…
Was the Death Star attack an inside job? [best comment: "I find your lack of faith disturbing..." [tip to QandO]
[more entirely-too-serious fun Star Wars stuff from David Brin here and here]
I haven’t read any sci-fi in a while, but I am definitely going to find a copy of Kiln People.
