		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thank you for that last paragraph.  I keep wondering why people with children and grandchildren (i.e. most adults) aren't the class most committed to lessening this crisis.  Do they/we not want a comfortable future for their family?<br /><br />I wrote "lessening" above because, unfortunately, it seems that the time for completely averting crisis has passed.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[I would also add that studies like this, and the seeming inability of the public to digest them,point to a need for stronger, more nuanced science education in primary and secondary schools.  They also point to a real dearth of education in critical thinking and analysis.  Of course, if we still taught those skills, and a healthy dose of elementary civics, climate change might not be the pitched battle we see it now to be.  But I digress.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Re: Solution for the immediate reduction of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions<br /><br />Dear Sir,<br /><br />Our company is specialized in research and development in the field of environmentally sound technologies.<br /><br />We know this letter is totally unbelievable because the yesterday's physics and chemistry did not resolve the CO2 emission problem up today on the commercially viable way .<br /><br />Clear Air is our solution for carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction produced from the combustion of fossil fuels. Now available. <br /><br />Our CO2 Emission Reduction Technology called Clear Air, can be quickly implemented in the different fields of application including smoke stacks, and land-sea-air transport. CO2 emission reduction is done in-situ with an optimal reduction of 99.9%. This solution has not secondary polluting effect. <br /><br />Clear Air is an effective and relatively cheap technology, mounted behind the CO2 source. <br />For example in a car mounted on the exhaust system it is capable to reduce the CO2 emission from 40% even up to 99.9%. <br />In the case of passenger cars or heavy goods vehicle or large off road vehicles the technology of construction and manufacturing does not need to change. <br />The Clear Air device can be mounted onto the existing parts of the vehicle. <br /><br />The Clear Air know-how together with a manufactured prototype is our property. The efficiency is measurable and can be immediately tested. Exact technology exists with computerized modeling for the CO2 reduction process and a controllable prototype equipment for use as well. <br /><br />The principle behind the CO2 emission reductions solution is part of a secret know-how. The intellectual property is offered for use by Licensing (Technology Transfer). <br /><br />The Environmental Unique Solutions AG. is delivering only technology and know-how for the Clear Air, in form of Customized Licenses. <br />We do not manufacture and sell the device based on this technology. <br />(More information at the site: <a href="http://<a href="http://www.eusag.ch">www.eusag.ch</a>/clearair.html">http://<a href="http://www.eusag.ch">www.eusag.ch</a>/clearair.html</a> )<br /><br />Kindest regards<br /><br />Istvan Holbok<br />Executive Officer of Administration<br /><br />Environmental Unique Solutions A.G.<br />Baarerstrasse 21, 6304 Zug Switzerland<br />WEB: <a href="http://www.eusag.ch">www.eusag.ch</a><br />E-mail: istvan.holbok@eusag.ch<br />Cellular phone: +36-70-3420900]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[So, are you advocating that we organize a Thursdays Unite campaign?  I'd be happy to work on the snappy slogan!  All kidding aside, I too have always loved the "organic" (as in uncoordinated, evolutionary) way Earthday has grown, and I'd be very cross if it did become an "official" holiday.  Even with it's big ticket rock concerts and massive vendor fairs, Earthday is still all about saving our most precious resources, not about sending another Hallmark card.  Well done.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thanks for the comments and the links! I think we're in a time of transition as far as science writing goes, and the ability to blog may generate a new crop of popularizers and writers. At least, I hope so.<br /><br />My criticism to Chris' post was written quickly (I was leaving work at the time), but I would have been more sympathetic if something other than "promote good books" was offered as an alternative to keeping quiet. I think scientists should respond to pseudoscience, but that doesn't mean that every response is a good one.<br /><br />What comes to mind (and what I forgot to mention) is that Darwin was intimately familiar with Paley's "Natural Theology," and that knowledge shaped what we wrote in On the Origin. He didn't directly confront creationism (it would be seen as a direct attack on revealed religion), but he organized his arguments based upon the favorite examples of the famous theologian, therefore simultaneous undercutting creationism and supporting his own theory of evolution by natural selection. I'd like this sort of approach be utilized more often; knowing creationist claims well enough to refute them without becoming shrill or overly antagonistic. Issues like creationism are so difficult to weed out because people are feeling threatened and they need to make a choice (or they make a choice because they don't want to get involved in a big argument). Direct refutation of bad science is still necessary, but if there is not a push towards positive science education, I fear we're going to risk being seen as a bunch of cranks.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[I think part of the science/journalist rift comes from the scientific principle that one should not extrapolate one's conclusions beyond the reasonable limits of one's data. When bad scientists defy this principle, they often use journalists as unwitting allies, making journalists the fall guys for bad science.]]></content>
