Jeg håper jeg har mange nok år foran meg til å lære nok

Kjenner jeg deg rett, lærer du i hvertfall mye mer det neste året enn de fleste lærer iløpet av et helt liv. Det er jo det alt dreier seg om. Ønsket om å se. Ønsket om å lære. Håp om å forstå. Lyst og evne til å finne sammenhenger.

Chinese ship fails to break out of ice trap in Antarctica after rescue mission

An attempt to break free of heavy Antarctic ice floes by Chinese icebreaker Xue Long, which helped to rescue passengers from Russia's Akademik Shokalsky, has failed. But those it helped to rescue are now on their way home on an Australian vessel.
"Xue Long's attempt to maneuver through the ice early this morning was unsuccessful," the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said in a statement. "The ship has confirmed to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority it is beset by ice."
On Thursday, helicopter sent by the Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, successfully evacuated all the 52 passengers aboard the Russian vessel Akademik Shokalsky to the Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis.

Se der ja, Spiren! Klimasirkuset på sitt mest latterlige. Nå gjenstår å se hvordan disse "forskerne" skal klare betale regninga for dette tullet. Må jo bli mange titalls millioner kroner. Kanskje Bulke-Jens åpner lommeboka vår igjen? Er man klimageneraljuksemaker så er man klimageneraljuksemaker.

Lack of accountability clouding the climate change debate

The world's so-called authority on climate change engages in exaggerated science and has become a political tool.

Artikkel i VG
USA sender isbryter for å redde redningsskip i Antarktis

Det handler om den historien dere vet. Det står INGENTING i artikkelen om at de som nå er "passasjerer" tidligere ble omtalt som "forskere" som skulle dokumentere hvor fort global oppvarming smelter isen i Antarktis.

Krever fjesbok-kommentar, derfor ikke noen kommentar der fra meg. Men om noen andre vil...
Det er han moderatorsjefen Øivind Solstad som inviterer-

Her kan dere følge "framdriften" til skipet Akademik Shokalskiy som nå kun har russisk mannskap om bord.

I canadiske Newfoundland er 35.000 innbyggere uten strøm, melder CBS News.de neste dagene er det ventet at de kalde vindene fra nord vil sveipe over det amerikanske kontinentet helt ned til Mexicogolfen.
(...)
Meteorologene sier det ventet temperaturer ned mot -35 som med kraftig vind vil gi effektive kuldegrader ned mot 50.
(...)
Innbyggere i USA har allerede fått en forsmak på kulda. De siste dagene har flere tusen flyavganger vært innstilt. Skoler har vært stengt og i New York skled et fly av rullebanen og inn i en snøfonn.
(...)
USA har ikke opplevd tilsvarende arktiske værforhold på to tiår, og minst 16 mennesker har de siste tre dagene mistet livet som følge av vinterstormene og kulden.

Det ser ut som en normal vinter (i USA) - men mange sutrer likevel.

Vel, jeg kan til en viss grad forstå de som bord i Nord, Canada og Minnesota med temperaturer omkring -40 grader C. Ikke til å undres over hva Minnesotans for Global Warming synger:

I den ferske tråden Could this study on honesty and government service explain the EPA climateer fraud and 'Climategate' ?, tar Watts opp forskning omkring temaet. Dessuten legger han ut en del av de mest beryktede og kjente Climategate-mailene, som viser hvordan forskere tilknyttet statlige institusjoner tilbakeholdt grunnlagsdata, forfalsket temperaturdata, korrumperte trering-data, og mye annet de burde vært fengslet for.

Postma har en del meget interessante betraktninger i sin siste blogpost. Sitatet under er imidlertid ikke fra hovedposten, men fra et debattinnlegg han kom med senere. Først linken til stykket, så sitatet fra debattinnlegget.

Joseph Postma - A Religious Derivation of Special Relativity

But basically, the controllers of government and society use manufactured resource scarcity and their family inheritance to maintain that control. Rich families should not be in control of government and rich families should not be allowed to maintain a nepotistic advantage over the population. There is no logical reason why a small group of rich families should control the majority or entirety of resources of the state.

What inheritance would be replaced with is meritocracy. Without having nepotistic advantage, everyone would then earn what they get. I'm not interested in leaving my kids some money, I'm interested in leaving them intelligence and the ability to create and get what they want and work for, and I'm interested in creating a state where resource scarcity doesn't exist, rather than one in which a small group of rich families control and manufacture the appearance of scarcity. Yes this means building a whole new structure of society.

Indeed, bankers and banks etc. should not have the right to manufacture debt money and control the supply. So that means you don't support family advantage, because that's the way they got to that point. The state should control the money supply and the manufacture of money, and really when we create a new system free of resource scarcity, and end this illusion of scarcity manufactured by those families, money itself would become a superfluous concept. Trading money to make money off of money would be made a crime by the state, as it serves no useful function to the state or the individuals which comprise it; it only serves parasites, and, those parasites are rich families maintaining their dynastic advantage over the state.

So yah, the point IS to change human nature. Because right now it is f'd up. The problem is manufactured resource scarcity and a totally dysfunctional state created by the dynastic families of monetary wealth.

Det er ganske allright for undertegnede å se at lærde og opplyste akademikere i utlandet ikke har mistet både baller mot og personlig integritet iløpet av sin utdannelse. Hjertesukket er følgende spørsmål: Når ble den akademiske utdannelsen i Norge så hjernevaskende at studentene sluttet å bruke eget vett? Er det lenger noe som helst håp om at slikt kan føres i pennen av en norsk fysiker? Skal jeg svare selv, blir det et bedrøvet nei. Lysenkoismen i kongeriket Norge har vært for gjennomført, for lenge.

Det kom et innlegg om akademisk forfall i debatten under kronikken til A. Watts.

The study needs a lot more follow-up.

What is interesting is the rampant cheating in universities to start with. This is the real problem, although I am not surprised the cheaters then head into government where the demand is for arse-kissing and not producing original work. The cheaters have already proved they can't do original work. If they do go into industry, they are the ones who swipe your work and end up in management because they are good at politics.

The Shadow Scholar

.... In the past year, I've written roughly 5,000 pages of scholarly literature, most on very tight deadlines. But you won't find my name on a single paper.

I've written toward a master's degree in cognitive psychology, a Ph.D. in sociology, and a handful of postgraduate credits in international diplomacy. I've worked on bachelor's degrees in hospitality, business administration, and accounting....

You've never heard of me, but there's a good chance that you've read some of my work.... Somebody in your classroom uses a service that you can't detect, that you can't defend against, that you may not even know exists.

I work at an online company that generates tens of thousands of dollars a month by creating original essays based on specific instructions provided by cheating students. I've worked there full time since 2004. On any day of the academic year, I am working on upward of 20 assignments....

my company's staff of roughly 50 writers is not large enough to satisfy the demands of students who will pay for our work and claim it as their own.

You would be amazed by the incompetence of your students' writing....

Her er hvordan saken ble presentert opprinnelig:

The man who writes your students' papers tells his story


Jonathan Barkat for The Chronicle Review

By Ed Dante

Editor's note: Ed Dante is a pseudonym for a writer who lives on the East Coast. Through a literary agent, he approached The Chronicle wanting to tell the story of how he makes a living writing papers for a custom-essay company and to describe the extent of student cheating he has observed. In the course of editing his article, The Chronicle reviewed correspondence Dante had with clients and some of the papers he had been paid to write. In the article published here, some details of the assignment he describes have been altered to protect the identity of the student.

The request came in by e-mail around 2 in the afternoon. It was from a previous customer, and she had urgent business. I quote her message here verbatim (if I had to put up with it, so should you): "You did me business ethics propsal for me I need propsal got approved pls can you will write me paper?"

I've gotten pretty good at interpreting this kind of correspondence. The client had attached a document from her professor with details about the paper. She needed the first section in a week. Seventy-five pages.

I told her no problem.

It truly was no problem. In the past year, I've written roughly 5,000 pages of scholarly literature, most on very tight deadlines. But you won't find my name on a single paper.

Jeg vil tro dette kan interessere mange her på forumet, dette har jo vært omfattende diskutert av flere av forumets veteraner; okular, Joste, Amatør1 og 2, osv.

Artikkelen har en rekke interessante illustrasjoner, og Tisdale levner ingen tvil om hvem han anser som sjef for klodens eget klimaregime (jeg antar etter at den har mottatt sin sykliske sol-dose..):

Of course, some publicity seeking climate scientists continue to (very unwisely) blame carbon dioxide for the heat waves and cold spells, flooding and drought, blizzards and low snowfall, creating further disbelief in climate science. They have only themselves to blame for their loss of credibility. I digress.

An El Niño is one of Mother Nature's ways of reminding us who's in charge.

Artikkelen har en rekke interessante illustrasjoner, og Tisdale levner ingen tvil om hvem han anser som sjef for klodens eget klimaregime (jeg antar etter at den har mottatt sin sykliske sol-dose..):

Dette er et viktig poeng, og jeg holder på med å gjennomføre min lovnad om en forenklet forklaring av ENSO-systemet, Tele. Håper å bli ferdig med første utkast til presentasjon og kritikk iløpet av dagen. Når jeg er "ferdig" med den, gjenstår en lignende versjon om atmosfæreeffekten slik Okular forklarer den. I går forsøkte jeg meg med den mekaniske delen når det gjelder CO2-molekylet. Det er merkelig hvor mye mer arbeide det ligger i å skrive enkelt og "kort", enn frittsvevende og omfattende.

Husk at disse tre forenklings-innleggene trenger svært kritisk blikk fra alle som føler for å bidra. Bare slik kan de til slutt kanskje bli gode bidrag for økt forståelse av fenomener mange nok synes er litt halvvriene å forstå.

Angående din kommentar om sola, så la jeg ut denne illustrasjonen en tid tilbake. Den viser tidspunktet for El-Ninoene i forhold til solaktiviteten:



Det ser ut til at varmen havet har lagret opp under La Ninaene utlades med de kraftigste El Ninoene, og at disse El Ninoene starter på oppadgående solaktivitet.

[Telehiv]

Jeg syns Tisdales ENSO-beskrivelse her er så effektivt uttrykt at den fortjener å siteres:

"ENSO acts as a chaotic, naturally occurring, sunlight-fueled, recharge-discharge oscillator, where the La Niña phase acts as the recharge phase and El Niño acts as the discharge phase."

Den kom som en respons/svar på Leif Svalgaards kommentar om hans bestrebelser på å få fram poenget i et komplekst tema:
 
"I must confess that I also have problems with 'complex' subjects. The I deal with those is to try to strip away complexity [hoping that some essential thing did not get stripped off] until the subject becomes simple enough that I can understand it. I.e. to find out what are the important aspects."
