Daily Nazi Comparison

So, here's today's comparison of conservatives to Nazis:

Global Warming Skeptics Should Have Nuremburg Style Trials

Actually, I don't even know if global warming skeptics are conservatives, but it certainly is more likely. I think it's just plain good science to be skeptical. One of the first things you are taught as an engineer is the danger of extrapolation. Heck, you can extrapolate anything and make it look bad, or good.

I'm sick of hearing people around me talk about Algore's "An Inconvenient Truth" as if it were gospel. Is it an "inconvenient truth" that this year's hurricane season is decidedly less damaging and lethal as last year's, in spite of the fact that more and more CO2 is pumped into the atmosphere?

Homer: It's pronounced 'nucular'. Nucular.

North Korea is now nuclear. Indeed, why wouldn't they be? Whatever slap on the wrist they recieve won't hardly affect the North Korean leadership. After all, it's a "worker's party," the leadership could care less about the peasants. One bit of news that might play in to this is that a South Korean is to be the next secretary general of the UN. Speaking of South Korea, maybe a temporary solution would be to arm them. A MAD scenerio to keep North Korea in check. Probably should arm Taiwan and Japan too. In this context, armed means nuclear missles hardwired to targets in North Korea. The missles could be tied into a sensor network which would only allow their launch upon detection of a nuclear blast in the host country.
