Team Astrobotic

Well, I mentioned that this was gonna be a tech blog, and its time to blog the techy side of life. As many of you may not know, Google is sponsoring the new X-Prize. Called the Lunar X-Prize, ten official teams are racing to be the first to land a rover on the moon, have it move around, and take and send pictures and movies to earth and receive relayed commands from earth.

As I have been looking forward to this for a while, I am happy to say that I have found a team to support. Team Astrobotic. Made up of members of Carnagie-Mellon, a close friend of NASA's Jet Propulsion laboratory and the builder of the probes currently operating on Mars, and Raytheon, a major force in the Aerospace Industry. I believe they are gonna win, and suggest others support them as well.

Thank You DailyTech

Wow, do I have a lot of stuff to cover. I won't do it all at once, it isn't my style. But I sill be covering it all, day by day, until i catch up with the cooler heads.

Anywho, first up is a report that is circulating the blogosphere that started with the DailyTech. In a recent article, dated 2-26-08, a report was cited that showed that global temperatures dropped in the past year, "Wiping out a century of warming" to quote Michael Asher. All of this is based on temperature readings from monitors all across the globe, as well as from Antarctic sea ice reaching "Record Heights." This is big.

Though at first it was all anecdotal, all four of the Globe's Temperature tracking agencies, (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, and RSS) have confirmed it. According to all four sources, it is the sharpest change ever recorded, mainly due to the lack of recording going from the Medieval Climate Optimum to the Little Ice Age. This is truly significant. a 0.65C drop in temperatures globally over twelve months. And I was sure that the warmies where up to something.

And look, it has been twenty years since the GW crowd emerged from the Ice Age crowd.

Look for calls of a coming Ice Age, and remember this moment when they swing back to the belief that the planet is warming in twenty years.

Too bad that the cold is so much more damaging to life as we know it than the heat.

International Confrence on Climate Change

Oh, how I wish I could be in New York on March 2nd , and that I could stay till the 4th. On those days, the International Conference on Climate Change shall be meeting at the Marriott New York Marquis Hotel.

These Scientists, Economists, and Public Policy Experts, hundreds in number, shall be gathering to call the bluff of Consensus. They shall form the first gathering of Heretics to challenge the IPCC.

For those who want more information on this, please go to www.GlobalWarming.org, the current home of the Cooler Heads Coalition.

For registration information, please go to http://www.heartland.org/NewYork08/registration.cfm

Sadly, it is $312 for a student to attend the conference. If there are any readers who are going, please let me know, I would love to get some information from inside the Confrence before its over. Also, please report this event to CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News, and try to get them to cover the event. A challenge to the IPCC is very cool.

More to come from the Coller Heads Coalition to come. Finally, something to do while the Warmies are quite.

College

Sorry for the lack of postings guys. College life gets in the way some times. That and the GW Cooks have been quiet recently. *glances around* They are up to something, not sure what, but there is something going on. Expect a major media blitz this summer. It doesn't help that this year had the highest snow fall since 1966... Wouldn't surprise me if it was the coldest summer in a long while.
