Yeah, Right, Whatever

No, not Sport Utility Vehicles. SPACE Utility Vehicles.

So, The Goracle was on Capitol Hill yesterday, blaming humanity for the earth's "fever." He compared himself to Leonidas (Yes, he really did it, and no, I don't want to see him in a Spartan costume, thankyouverymuch.) He refused to pledge to only use the same amount of energy as an average American, but that's ok, because... well... he's The Goracle, dontchaknow.

So, today, NASA releases some way cool pics of the Sun along with some tidbits of solar-knowledge that has the top eggheads in the space research saying, "huh???"

"Everything we thought we knew about X-ray images of the Sun is now out of date," says Leon Golub from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US. "We've seen many new and unexpected things. For that reason alone, the mission is already a success."

And then we have this little piece from last month that the MSM has chosen to completely ignore.

Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human-induced—cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory.

Earth is currently experiencing rapid warming, which the vast majority of climate scientists says is due to humans pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Well, I guess all of those H3s that we shipped to Mars must be working, right? I hope the Martians liked the accessory packages that were picked out for them. Looks like the Land Rovers on Jupiter are up and running, too. The evil industrial complex on Saturn is at full production. Neptune? Check. No official news from Pluto yet, but it looks promising. No news from Uranus, but it is the solar system's most boring chunk of rock, so...

I mean, the Sun couldn't be responsible for all of this warming, could it? It's all our fault. It has to be. There was a consensus. The Goracle has spoken.

In other related news (work with me here), I had the radio on when Coast to Coast AM came on. George Noory was talking about a round table discussion they were trying to put together on global warming (cyclic v. human origins). He's having trouble getting experts to agree to appear in a round table format... human origin experts, that is. They'll come on by themselves for the whole show, but they will not agree to debate. hmmm... wonder why...

So, The Goracle wants us to completely destroy our economy... for a flawed increasingly discredited theory... just making sure I was clear on that one.

BONUS: Here's a great little audio bit from my favorite non-candidate.
