The Last Two Months in Climate Science

Nov. 24th, 2009 | 03:00 pm

Originally published at The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Please leave any comments there.

Q4 2009 has not been good to True Believers of Anthropogenic Global Warming so far. Two big revelations have cast a shadow on, as far as I can tell, basically every piece of science1 supporting the theory that human-created greenhouse gasses are having a catastrophic impact on the planet.

Breaking the Hockey Stick

First came a must-read article by Ross McKitrick: Defects in key climate data are uncovered. In it, he describes a number of problems surrounding the [in]famous “hockey stick” graph which is often used to demonstrate that the temperature on earth has sky-rocketed in response to the dramatic increase in greenhouse gasses produced by people. Among the claims presented in the article are:

  • The original hockey stick was based on flawed mathematical procedures. To wit, those procedures would produce a hockey-stick-looking graph from any data fed into it, even data with no trend whatsoever.
  • The original graph having been discredited, proponents of it fell back on other studies which demonstrated the same marked increase in temperature.
  • Those other studies all made use of data that was long held secret, even when the studies were submitted to peer-reviewed journals.
  • The spike in the “secret” data came from an incredibly small, and not statistically significant, number of core samples.
  • Those core samples were used despite the availability of more data points (to which the study’s authors had access) and that the inclusion of the additional core samples essentially removed any uptick.
  • Most of the studies making use of this bad data were published by a close-knit group of colleagues “only the names are in different orders”.

The reason that this is relevant, at least to me, is that many, many sites try to rehabilitate the hockey stick graph by pointing to these other studies, but those other studies are plagued by the exact same problem: data that appears to be hand-picked to produce a desired result.



  1. and “science”.

Now THAT’S a Turkey

Nov. 23rd, 2009 | 12:27 pm

Originally published at The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Please leave any comments there.

Somehow my email address ends up on all sorts of “SEND ME PRESS RELEASES” list. Most of the press releases are stupid and poorly targeted, so I click the “Mark as Spam” button. Sometimes, though, a gem slips through. Like this one:

Paul Hurley, A local Irish bar and tavern owner in Manhattan is bringing a new twist for the Thanksgiving Holiday by unveiling the nation’s first 100 proof turkey which is infused with fruit flavored and 100 proof Georgi vodka. The Turkey takes three days to prepare for the Holiday. 100 proof vodka is infused in the bird for three days before the final cooking. Peach, Raspberry, Cherry and Apple flavored vodka’s are also part of the turkeys base. 100 proof vodka is also lightly placed in the gravy as well. No one under 21 is allowed to join the feast.

The bar is also including a free taxi ride in the city for those who order the holiday specialty. The turkey will unveiled at a Media Conference with 100 proof vodka being infused on Monday, November 23, 2009 at 11:45am at O’Casey’s Tavern on 22 East 41st Street between Fifth and Madison Avenue. 212-685-6807 The day before thanksgiving is known as one of the busiest drinking days of the years and the partying does not stop for everyone. Mothers Against Drunk Driving had concerns about this delight during it’s concept. Dozens of bar patrons have already pre-ordered the turkey. The Turkey will be available for the first time for consumption and eating at the same time. Georgi Vodka plans on placing the recipe at every liquor store in the nation.

They didn’t include any links, which is a shame, nor did they include any samples of this “100 Proof” turkey, which is also a shame.

Something tells me that the Turkey will not actually be 50% alcohol by volume like the term “100 Proof” suggests, but if I can get drunk from eating turkey . . . that just goes to show you how far we’ve come as a society. Thanks, Science!

There’s a Map For That

Nov. 19th, 2009 | 12:29 pm

Originally published at The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Please leave any comments there.

Not too long ago, Verizon took aim at AT&T’s spotty 3G coverage with a clever add:

As an AT&T customer who lives in one of the 10 most populous metros in the United States, I found it amusing because my coverage — even inside the perimeter — is fucking atrocious. There’s really no reason that, standing just a few miles from the center of the metro area, I should have to wander around a house trying to find the spot where I can actually get a signal. That’s absolutely absurd, and I am seriously considering switching to Verizon (or anyone else) when my 2 year term is up.

Well, AT&T didn’t like the ad. So they went out and bought a bunch of new towers and expanded their network!

Ha! No, not really. They sued Verizon and asked for an injunction prohibiting Verizon from running the ads because they are, apparently, “misleading”. That any wireless company can allege that another is running misleading advertising with a straight face is pretty funny, but I guess it makes sense, since companies don’t have faces.

Anyway.

AT&T didn’t get the injunction, so they decided to run a counter-ad:

Okay, okay. So let’s assume, arguendo, that the above is true. That AT&T has the fastest 3G network. That they have the best phones. That you can talk and surf at the same time. Assume it’s all true.

What good is that if you can’t get a signal??

Seriously, AT&T: quit bitching about the ads and build a better wireless network.

Four Years

Nov. 13th, 2009 | 11:10 am

Originally published at The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Please leave any comments there.

Anyone who was raised by my mother learned a lot of lessons, whether they knew it or not, about quiet strength. My siblings and I handle things in vastly different ways, but it is impossible to deny that we all picked up a good bit of Mom’s durability and resolve along the way.

Four years ago today, we were tested to see how well we had learned those lessons when my father — after years of struggling (mostly in silence) with PTSD — committed suicide somewhere in Arizona.

Of course, people are supposed to out-live their parents. They’re supposed to have been equipped by that point with the mechanisms they need to cope with the loss. Our loss came a lot earlier than it “should” and it came with the added difficulty of suicide to spice things up a bit.

We all seemed to have been prepared to handle it. My sister, easily the most emotional of the four of us — and a consummate daddy’s girl, gave a wonderful eulogy at the funeral and did so with more composure than I’d expect of anyone in that situation. My baby sister, who was barely old enough to drive at the time, weathered the storm, too, and came out the other side no worse for the wear. R.J. had to come to terms with some unresolved disagreements, but in the end used the blow to get his some aspects of his life pointed back in the right direction that had somehow gone askew.

This isn’t to say that any of us did it alone — nothing could be farther from the truth. We did it together, and we also each had our own support networks to hold us up. The law school really buoyed me on the rough days and many wonderful friends scattered throughout the country sent thoughtful reminders that life goes on.

Still, so much of the grieving and mourning happens internally. It has to — that’s where it hurts. If you can’t endure that and come to terms with it, no amount of external support is going to save you.

I learned a lot about my family in the days that followed Dad’s passing and gained a great deal of admiration and respect for those kids who used to drive me right up the wall (and still sometimes do).

November 13th isn’t a day I mark on the calendar. It’s not a day that I dread or look forward to. But it always ends up being, at least in pockets and parts, a more somber and reflective day. It’s that way much like all milestones are (and probably will be for quite some time). It’s a good reminder that lots of cliches actually mean things. Like “life is short.” Often it’s shorter than we’d like and sometimes tragically so. It’s a good reminder that you won’t always have a “tomorrow” to procrastinate to. It’s a good reminder that as well as we might think we know someone, we probably don’t know them as well as we think.

But it’s not an unhappy or depressing day, necessarily. Dad was always a coach and a teacher. Even in death he taught us things, and I think that’d have made him pretty happy.

Still, and I guess this is the very essence of losing someone, there are always going to be things I wish I could tell him.

Semper Fi, Pops.

Weekend Preview: Geaux To Hell Edition

Nov. 6th, 2009 | 03:10 pm

Originally published at The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Please leave any comments there.

I’m busy digesting the meat-splosion that resulted from the programmer’s weekly trip to the Brazilian BBQ near the office. We tried a new venue today which was alright, but I think we’re going to stick with the old standard in the future. I also have to prepare myself for Mexican Food Night1.

While we’re talking about food, it’s worth noting that today’s GroupOn deal is pretty sweet. $10 for $25 worth of wine and tapas? Yes, please! Actually, GroupOn in general is pretty awesome. The idea is that every day they have a deal — some big discount on some kind of good or service — and it only actually happens if enough people commit to buying in. I’m not sure I’ve seen one that didn’t happen, though, as the deals are great and the minimums are pretty low. If this sounds awesome to you, go check it out through my referral link, and if you ever buy in on a deal I get $10.

So there’s a lot going on this weekend, too. Tomorrow morning is the AFDC fall league end of season ultimate frisbee tournament. That should be a good way to kick-off my weekend of dehydration. I’m not sure how many games we’ll win, but it’ll be a good time. After that is the ‘Bama/LSU game, which happens to be the only football game worth a damn on this weekend. If ‘Bama wins, they clinch the SEC West and a rematch against Florida. If not, we have to pray that Ole Miss or Arkansas can beat LSU to put our boys back in the mix. If you want to get fired up for the game, you may watch this video, but I cannot be held responsible for damage you do to your surroundings when Nick Saban works you up into a frenzy:

Sunday will consist of a corn maze2 and a “Friends & Family” dinner at a new restaurant/bar that’s opening in Midtown soon. Because it’s a limited opening, they are exchanging free food for our opinions on the menu and service.

This is why capitalism works, my friends: specialization! I have specialized in forming opinions and this restaurant has specialized in making tasty food. Because they want opinions and I want tasty food, we can trade our excess to each other and both end up better off — brilliant!

You are hereby required to share your amazing weekend plans in the comments below. If your plans are not amazing, you may make something up. Ready? Go.



  1. During which you are required by law to consume more margaritas than you do solid food.

  2. Very likely to be a-maize-ing.

Drivers Who Switched…

Nov. 5th, 2009 | 05:07 pm

Originally published at The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Please leave any comments there.

This bothers me a bit every time I hear it. It seems that every auto insurance company has been trumpeting a relatively useless statistic. “Drivers who switched to _____ saved an average of…” and then they give some large-sounding number.

You want to save hundreds of dollars, right? Of course you do. Who doesn’t?

The claim is somewhat silly, though, isn’t it? I mean, the implication is that everyone who switches would save lots of money. The reality is that switching insurance carriers is a bit of a hassle, so you’re probably not going to switch to save $20 a year, and if your insurance isn’t very high to begin with, you’re probably not even going to be shopping around.

In some ways, it reminds me of the saying “You always find something in the last place you look for it.” Well nooooo kidding. If you keep looking for it after that, you’re a moron. The number of people who would switch insurance carriers to one that would charge them more is negligible at best, so of course the people who switch are going to be saving money, and probably a non-trivial amount of it, to boot.

Don’t get me wrong, I guess it’s a clever marketing strategy, because unless you actually think critically about it, it sounds pretty neat, but I still roll my eyes when I notice it.

Kisses, Oceans, and a T-Rex

Nov. 4th, 2009 | 02:03 pm

Originally published at The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Please leave any comments there.

This week’s required reading is as follows:

New Ocean Forming in Ethiopia — Mother Nature’s contingency plan for melting polar ice caps.

In 2005, a gigantic, 35-mile-long rift broke open the desert ground in Ethiopia. At the time, some geologists believed the rift was the beginning of a new ocean as two parts of the African continent pulled apart, but the claim was controversial.

Now, scientists from several countries have confirmed that the volcanic processes at work beneath the Ethiopian rift are nearly identical to those at the bottom of the world’s oceans, and the rift is indeed likely the beginning of a new sea.

(Via Kristin)

Kissing Evolved To Spread Germs, Not Feelings — Doing a fine job of it, too.

Cytomegalovirus, which lives in human saliva, is generally innocuous, but when introduced during a pregnancy it can be extremely dangerous, killing unborn babies or causing birth defects like deafness or cerebral palsy. However, if cytomegalovirus is introduced to a woman in small doses before she conceives, she will build an immune resistance to it. Optimally, kissing the same male for six months prior to pregnancy gives the woman’s immune system the practice it needs to render cytomegalovirus impotent.

Could a Human Beat a T. Rex In Arm Wrestling? — Who doesn’t love a good dinosaur article?

“First, we’re assuming that the T. rex won’t just eat the person, right?” asks Jack Conrad, a vertebrate paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Right. This is a sanctioned match, and killing your opponent is strictly against the rules. Who’s coming out on top?

Also from the article: “There are dozens of hypotheses about what the T. rex used its arms for . . .,” one presumes that seizing the boy has been ruled out.

This might be a terrible idea, and it might be something the FTC would really, really frown upon. It struck me when I was watching one of those ridiculous Axe Body Spray commercials where some guy was being attacked by a horde of women who simply could not control their desire for him on account of his delicious scent1.

So what if you went to some major metro’s mass transit system with two actors. One of them gets on the train and just acts like a regular commuter. A few stops later, a guy gets on the train and after a minute or two, the woman looks up from her newspaper/magazine/book/iPod/whatever and strikes up a conversation with him loud enough for plenty of people nearby to hear, they (obviously) hit it off and eventually get off the train together or exchange numbers or something.

Oh, sure, it would probably be really expensive, and the reach would be limited, and you run the risk of the same person seeing the same scenario multiple times and ruining it, but it seems like it would be interesting if nothing else and if you did it big enough, it might make some noise in the news.



  1. Note: Axe Body Spray actually smells like crap.
