I'm waiting to see how long the flat-earthers/climate change skeptics try and discredit Nolan for what appears to be a movie about the result of earth with no food.
As an aside, the movie looks good.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

The notoriously anti-science House Science Committee has hit a new low, voting on Thursday to approve a spending bill amendment that “would prohibit defense spending on climate change research and the social cost of carbon analysis.” Translated: The Pentagon is being ordered to ignore climate science.
Specifically, the amendment, which was introduced by Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., forbids the Department of Defense from in any way utilizing the findings and recommendations of the National Climate Assessment or the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s fifth assessment on climate change, two landmark, comprehensive reports reflecting the work of hundreds of the world’s top climate scientists and experts — or, as McKinley referred to it, “ideology.” In so doing, it renders all that knowledge and understanding effectively irrelevant to national defense.http://www.salon.com/2014/05/23/house_bans_the_military_from_acknowledging_climate_science_national_security_be_damned/

So does that mean they will have to stop planning for retrofitting naval bases and such for projected higher sea levels this century?

Was just watching COSMOS, and they showed a short bit on Carl Sagan, who talked about the effects of climate change for many years.
Interesting fact; since Sagan talked about it in 1980, we have released over 400 Billion tons more CO2 into the atmosphere.
800 trillion pounds.
Sounds like a lot. Actually, it is a lot.....

NDGT is really making those deniers' heads explode. It's been amusing to watch. As well as the creationists. Smart dude. |

On a par with Sagan. Very smart. That is about a 30 year time frame (given when the show was in production) - then it makes me wonder how much was released since 1800 when coal burning started getting big? And the massive deforestation of the tropics - another big CO2 release point that many don't even consider but I'm betting it is extremely high. One good mega-volcano would go a long way toward "resetting" the clock and giving a reprieve.... |

Wednesday's weather was strange. Wet, chilly, and just dreary. Is it the fault of global warming? Climate change? Polar vortex? Bush? Not sure.

Often whenever it's colder than usual in one place, it's hotter than usual in another. Regardless of the cause, I am going to enjoy this cool weather. Noticed DECOPOLIS and Lassalles next door were busier than usual yesterday. Be nice if it stays that way all week.  |
