Tuesday link clearing festival
- Noir is a new club/restaurant in Atlanta that just opened up, decorated entirely in a film noir motif. They have movie nights too. Sounds perfect for me. The AJC review is here.
- WikiBroker and Zillow seem quite handy as well. The Zillow link is set to where I am thinking about moving.
- Robert Patterson (a blogger new to me) posts this excellent link to the Battle of Algiers.
- The Chinese ARE building the first affordable electric cars! Which is one of my predictions from a while back.
- Curiously underreported story about Global Warming.
These graphs were created by NASA’s Reto Ruedy and James Hansen (who shot to fame when he accused the administration of trying to censor his views on climate change). Hansen refused to provide McKintyre with the algorithm used to generate graph data, so McKintyre reverse-engineered it. The result appeared to be a Y2K bug in the handling of the raw data. . . .
NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II.

I was only kidding about that Bavarian nude dancer bit…
That aside, get used to under reported spots of rot in the framework of global warming. The media’s been mastered by the “scientific consensus.” How long was Einstein ignored?
Funny… I’d never thought to attribute an adjective such as “consensual” to science. “Probable” yes. But “certainty?” I get nervous when those that cannot accurately tell me it will rain three days from now claim to absolutely know what the global (not Vermont or even New England or even North American) climactic environment will entail.

What Bavarian Nude Dancing bit?
I think this is proof enough that it’s hard enough to predict the past, let along the future.

Noir Atlanta used to be a restaurant – I suppose it went out of business a few years ago – it seems the name has reappeared
