The Awful Song by Ed Jonas

Well this is most depressing
actually it is quite awful
and we've even got a "second" on that
but such is the state of affairs
I suppose it partly a reflection on
the tsunami.... and the nature of
the beast any way
depress away....

Tell your freinds you heard it here

Standard Temperature Grid Assignment


With regard to global warming
and such and might have potential for a grant
but heres the scoop.
Its called the STCP or the "Standard Temperature Grid Program"
What would be required is to over every one or two hour period
take the current temp of 60 or some number of exquidistant 'temp sensor" sites
around the globe. If this could then be established as a Global standard
it would serve as a reference point and such towards the apparent global warming
situation. The idea is based along the lines of Standard Time Zones which in themselves
are relative and arbitray but who by our use Standardizes Global time so we know more
approximately the correct and current time. It might not be of much use intially but over the years the data could indicate temperature trends or patterns. The 60 site temps are added up and divided by 60 to give a global mean temperature which would help as to organize and cut down on the number of variables involved in weather and climate sensing and keeping them equidistant would incorporate the "spacial" aspect.
Again it would take years or decades perhaps till the data prooved anything
but we have to start somewhere. This standard then could be adopted globally and monitored for variations. Sure altitude and wind and clouds and such would factor in and it would be fairly crude initially but as the data came in it might reveal patterns and global trends.
Now I suppose you could add the humidity as well but keeping it relatively simple and sustainable would be better. I'd just be curious to see the results of a year and see how
the numbers crunch. You probably want the temps for sure at the poles and I think theyre
around somewhere and possibly islands in the ocean and it would be nice to get some
ocean or water sites too and a lot around the equator. I suppose the earth tilt would be another variable but it shouldn't be that hard to do if you could somehow suck up the select data that I'm pretty sure is already available.
Oh which reminds me I was wonderin if they were "recording" that big quake from earth satellites and if they could see anything of the tsuanmi .
Any way just a concept.

I was just pondering that you could probably backtrack at least some of the data
100 years ago if some of your sites were places where they have been keeping
temperature records for a while. This would perhaps be moderately useful
in determining the current situation a little faster. What good is monitoring if we
can't do much about it? hmmm well it would give maybe indications of the major trouble spots if any. Like the cutting down and burning of the rain forests at a rate of
1 acre per second. And there's probably more  More >

RESPONSIBLE GLOBALISM

Now in that as the world develops
the tendancy to greater and greater
"globalism" is inevitable.
Yet by whose right and authority
do we have the mandate to
"reorganize the biosphere."
A biosphere not made by our own hands
and whose very nature we our selfs are most
"dependant" upon.
Given that this is somewhat of a moot and self-referencing
conundrum, I propose that in lew of evidence of sanction
that we at least proceed in this trend towards globalism
in a "responsible" manner. Hence the need for us to
consider the "global" implications of our undertakings
The manner in which to proceed with this then is akin
to the principle of "responsible government" , a concept
originating in Canada's historical road to independance.
Here is some of the back ground on that "initiative."
