The world's emissions of the main planet-warming gas carbon dioxide will rise over 50 percent to more than 42 billion tonnes per year from 2005 to 2030 as China leads a rise in burning coal, the U.S. government forecast on Wednesday. China's coal demand will rise 3.2 percent annually from 2005 to 2030, the Energy Information Administration said in its International Energy Outlook 2008. –Reuters, 26 June 2008
Any carbon diet strategy would be dependent upon clean coal:
"The vast majority of new power stations in China and India will be coal-fired; not "may be coal-fired"; will be. So developing carbon capture and storage technology is not optional, it is literally of the essence." –"Breaking the Climate Deadlock," Tony Blair, June 26, 2008
But, Vaclav Smil, an energy expert at the University of Manitoba, has estimated that capturing and burying just 10 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted over a year from coal-fire plants at current rates would require moving volumes of compressed carbon d ioxide greater than the total annual flow of oil worldwide — a massive undertaking requiring decades and trillions of dollars. "Beware of the scale," he stressed."
"The alternative (to geoengineering) is the acceptance of a massive natural cull of humanity and a return to an Earth that freely regulates itself but in the hot state." –Dr James Lovelock, August 2008
More global warming nonsense. A retort:
1) There is no solid scientific evidence (computer models don't count) that man has casued global warming.
2) 2008 was the coldest year on record in the past decade and further demonstrates a recent cooling trend
3) Even if man is the cause of global warming, there have been no sceintific studies that show it will be the end of the world or even that harmful (the worst case senarios involve mass migrations of humans, which is more feasible than the world stopping use of hydrocarbons).
and finally
4) Even if man is the cause of global warming, it would be a worldwide problem and any unilateral effort of the United States will have absolutely no effect. In fact unless the entire world stops polluting CO2 100%, we will still have global warming, so any reduction is pointless.
"In a nutshell: greenhouse-gas concentrations in the atmosphere are largely due to man's activities"
Complete garbage. This clearly shows the ignorance and utter stupidity of the enviornmental extremists. Man is respoinsible for putting ALL of the CO2, CH4, O2, H2O and all the other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere??? That is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard.
Absolutely ridiculous. The EPA should be disbanded for this insanity. I am breathing deeply right now. I guess I am now a pollutant per Obama's EPA.
Quick, ban Coca-Cola. It is responsible for millions of pounds of CO2!!!! We are polluting our enviornment. We need an immediate ban on running or any other physical activity as it makes us breath deeper and pollute more toxic, earth-destroying CO2!!!!! In fact, everyone must now wear CO2 scrubbing masks so that we can clear this dangerous chemical from the air. The world is ending, the world is ending, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
It's amazing how stupid people really are and how little science knowledge they really possess. For most "as seen on TV" is about all they know.
It's a hoax folks — pay more in taxes to the government so the government scientists can pretend to control the weather. Has it ever occured you to ask — How does paying more taxes to the government fix the climate?
Smart people are worried about the effect that the cold cycle we are now entering will have on earth's food production. Cold stunts plant growth. You did know that didn't you?
So what happens when we eliminate all the atmospheric CO2, and how do we know how much is just right. Ever heard of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Where is Chicken Little?
Absolute nonsense – besides, supposing the AG theory is correct, this is a global problem allegedly caused by global emissions. This is beyond the scope of the EPA to regulate.
"AGW theory" – excuse me.
The EPA has a rectal cranial inversion and should pull on their ears until they hear a pop. The northeast has been extrememly cold and snowy in the winters. This is hogwash. Someone is trying to make a buck off of this and what politician is being paid off?
Using this line of reasoning, why should the EPA not implement birth control measures and immigration limits, given the clear implications of increasing population? The case is "overwhelming", is it not?
I think the Scientists and the EPA drum this info up to get grants.
By far the largest "greenhouse gas" is water vapor. CO2 represents less than 3% of all greenhouse gases. Manmade CO2 is a minimal part of all CO2 (about 3%). By far the bulk of CO2 comes from the oceans. CO2 has been rising steadily for the last 150 years. But, during that time we have had periods of cooling and periods of warming. So we are supposed to believe that something that is a miniscule part of the atmosphere (CO2) of which man is responsible for a minimal part, is something we can or should somehow control. CO2 is necessary for life and something that happens when we exhale. A Pollutant????
A danger to public health? Not only that, but an overwhelming danger? What unmitigated crap.
Global warming might MIGHT be a danger to the planet, but we are talking (more) famine in Africa, the loss of some coast line.
And it may take hundreds of years for this to manifest. We are not talking about something that could cause cancer to develope during an individual's lifetime. We are talking about theoretical issues that may take generations to manifest.
This is insane.
Smart people are worried about the effect that the cold cycle we are now entering will have on earth's food production. Cold stunts plant growth.
I couldn't agree more, Bill. Heat = life and cold = death. Global warming isn't a threat to mankind, but the next ice age due in 10-15,000 years could wipe out our species. Only environmental whackos would concern themselves with some temporary global warming on the way to devastating global cooling. I hope they start to get a clue as the ice sheets start forming.
ah…hello new source of tax revenues
Where are you people in real life???? It seems like everyone is buying into the hysteria. Global warming is just not that big of a problem. I think the average temperature is only projected to rise 1 to 2 degrees. Hardly an alarming statistic. More people will die from a lack of cheap energy than from global warming.
Democrats must use this to grow the economy or it will be easy for the Republicans to use this issue to garner vast political power. Democrats should concentrate carbon emission controls on imported carbon sources initially. Reducing imported oil would accelerate the economy and that means begin with increasing the ethanol in gasoline to 15% which seems to be a given at this point. But then, DOE should develop a US sugarcane to ethanol industry. I would begin with a government nationalization of Imperial Sugar, Domino's, etc., under some emergency authorization. Pay for the domestic sugar industry with shares in a new domestic US ethanol from sugarcane industry and justify exchanging shares due too the domestic sugar industry's insanely large government subsidies. And just displace coal with wind and solar for a time until the general public accepts the economic benefit of domestic clean(er) energy production.
Serious question:
What are we going to do about this fascist takeover? It's a left-wing version of the military-industrial-congressional complex…only more destructive. Beware when the two fascist poles combine to isolate "non-conforming" nations. Result? pariah nations that we "must" attack.
Be afraid! This is an impending disaster.
For the WSJ, the world is only money and politics – as in, will the pie be divided up differently six months from now than it is this week? For the 1/6 of the world's population that will be out of water a few decades from now when there are no longer glaciers in the Himalayas, there are other concerns, and on a different timescale.
I am an idiot.
We love Obama and his toadies.
WSJ, watcher of the world…
Do you honestly believe taxing U.S. companies hundreds of billions of dollars (which will ultimately be paid by consumers in higher prices and workers in lost jobs) will do ANYTHING to affect the pace of the so-called Global Warming??? You sound like someone who will buy into any line Gore spouts.
News Flash…a few hundred years ago Greenland was GREEN!! Shouldn't we let it revert back to its natural state? Is that too much to ask?
If you honestly think all of the glaciers will melt in a few decades (what is that 30 years) you really do have problems.
We have to laugh at these stupid Americans and their falling for this hoax. We cannot wait to watch you destroy your economy and way of life to stop something that you have no control over. As your scientists generate more and more alarmist theories so that they can continue to receive millions in funding, we will build more and more CO2 spewing coal factories and crank out low-priced products.
We look forward to crushing your economy.
Ha ha ha ha ha….
We are looking forward to showing you all how to live like us.
In case you missed my earlier post…I am still an idiot.
I also have been waiting for years trying to get you people to live like me! You are killing the earth! Since you wouldn't listen to me or folks like me, I'm glad to see the Government is finally going to force you people into living without cars, electricity, running water, and so many other materialistic things!
And I'm still president!
and so should you.
The earth's atmosphere contains 387 ppm of CO2. That means Carbon Dioxide comprises 0.038%, yes only 4/100ths of 1% of the earth's atmosphere. If the levels double that is 0.06%. To get to 1% of the earth's atmosphere, the amount of CO2 would have to increase 25 times. Do any EPA scientists know this?
The EPA announcement is a welcome one and it has been long time coming. We must slow the effects of climate change and that means reducing emissions. You cannot manage what you do not measure, so the absolute first order is to establish the baseline carbon footprint–at the organizational (corporate et al) level, municipal level, regional, state and national level. Then and only then can we begin to reduce our emissions. If anyone is looking for resources to help them prepare for the EPA reporting rules, CSA (World Secretariat for the development of ISO 14064, an international carbon accounting standard) has developed a suite with the goal of 'carbon performance made simple' that includes an independent ghg registry, training, advisory services to help measure and manage the footprint, standards and personnel certification for carbon consultants, ghg quantifiers and ghg verifiers. Try http://www.csa.ca/carbonperformance
This is a power and money grab, nothing more.
If the sheeple of this country accept this decision then we will know that America is finished.
@Ekaterina "We must slow the effects of climate change"…
Sorry ma'am, the use of words like "should" or "must" imply that you believe that *your* sense of truth trumps mine. I humbly submit that *your* senses are science-impaired.
Since when did science go from unbiased observation to trendy indoctrination? Wait and watch as their new "findings" are made mandatory topics of study in public schools. glad to see there are other people out there who think this is all a bunch of bollocks.
As usual, the climate change skeptics band together in an echo chamber, assuring each other loudly that they are in the right and the vast majority of climate scientists are wrong. Thankfully, policymakers know you're on the fringe and are ignoring you, as they should. But for the rest of us, you provide endless hours of entertainment with your breathless warnings of a "fascist takeover" and your arguments that "computer models don't count." Keep at it, guys.
Where is the impact of China, India, Russia and the rest of the world in this discussion? If we are going to tackle CO2 output, any reduction by the US will be meaningless if China, India, Russia, Africa and the rest of the world (besides Europe) keep growing their CO2 output. China has already taken over the US as the number 1 CO2 polluter in the world, even though the US is the number 1 energy user and for the past 5 years, their output has grown by 40%, not to mention the 1-2 coal plants they were building every week last year.
So if the US reduces its carbon output by 20% like Obama has outlined, it will be completely negated by the growth in China alone. The fact is that in 20 years the worlds CO2 output will be greater than it is today, regardless of what the US does. So we will increase the cost of energy in the US which will hurt the poor the most and will destroy our economy. All of this will be for nothing and we will have to deal with the effects of global warming anyways.
China, India and the rest of the world will not stop polluting CO2, any other notion is just ignorant, wishful thinking. They can barely afford coal and oil, and are not going to agree to reduced CO2 output, especially if you look at the vast majority of their population lives like the average American did 100 years ago. Imagine when these people start to move to the city, use more transporation, electricity, make more goods, buy cars, ect… There is going to be an explosion of growth, even more so than today.
Beause any reduction by the US will have zero affect on global warming, we should just plan for the consequenes and in the meantime spend our dollars and effort on developing alternative, green energy that will take us into the future.
Never gonna happen. Obama can go on forever about cutting taxes for "95% of working Americans". The cheerleader media will spin his broken campaign promises all the way to November 2012. But the carbon tax is just a tax, and a stunningly regressive one at that. Too many people will get hurt, and fast. No way to spin your way out of destroying the US economy in the name of highly politicized junk science. I don't believe the Democrats are dumb enough to pull the trigger. Expect a climbdown.
Would you care to mention EVEN ONE scientific institution anywhere in the world, that says that manmade actions aren't a primary cause of the warming trend over the past 4 decades?
Or is the science automatically invalid, merely because you don't like the political implications. That's a rather bizarre approach to reality.

This is a large farce being played on the people of the world to grab political power.
31,000 scientists have signed this indicating that the evidence for CO2 Global warming is inconclusive.
More and more people are becoming aware that this is a farce so BO needs to grab power before to many people see through this.
The world has been cooling slightly over the past eleven years. If AGW theory is correct then some powerful force has been trumping AGW since 1998. The only force this could be is natural variation in climate – a variable ignored by the climate modelists because it is inherently unpredictable. So what we have are computer models making predictions which ignore a climate force more powerful than AGW itself. How can we (or the EPA) have any confidence in the predictions of such models?
"Has salvaging the economy really taken a back seat to scoring political points?"
You bet yer sweet bippy it has. How could you raise this question, anyway?
I am glad to see that the government is finally recognizing the science of climate change and accepting our responsibility to stop contributing to the problem and start solving it..
To the climate change deniers writing comments below, I suggest that you read the real evidence and the objective science before you spout off denial propagande that you are repeating. It will take courage to address this problem of climate change- so you need to get serious, be strong, and start figuring out how to accept this challenge and get the job done. You would be embarassed if you knew that the denial points you keep repeating as facts are so clearly distortions contrived and propogated by oil and coal interests.
The only thing the government realizes it here is a 2 to 3 trillion dollar revenue stream that is created by regulating carbon dioxide, along with the faux legitimacy to control every aspect of our lives. Who remembers promises made about the tobacco settlement a decade ago? Virtually none of the money went to reducing or mitigating tobacco use. Here in Michigan it all went to fund K to 12 schools.
One hopeful thing is that once the independents realize how they were fooled by the Trojan Horse of the last election, they won't get fooled again. That is the only reason for the urgency of forcing through this issue now. In 2010 this nonsense will end.
re: RF
So basically you argument is that the science is automatically wrong, because you don't happen to like the political implications? Isn't that a rather childish view on reality.
re: fries
You're cherry picking strong El Nino years. (1998 and 2008 in particular) Those events only last a few months at a time, and don't represent a "trend".
No, I don't believe the science. I have read an enormous amount on the topic and have concluded this is is political not scientific issue. James Hansen of NOAA is a fraud. I live in a university town and if a grant application doesn't have a AGW angle it doesn't get funded. If there was no money, current and future, this issue wouldn't exist.
Without the whole world on board, any effort by us to reduce emissions is pointless. The US is the worlds biggest energy consumer, but over 75% of the worlds CO2 polllution comes outside the US.
re: RF
Well, how about you try flipping though this PDF a bit. Since that documentary usually where people claim to get their "research".
re: RF
Well then perhaps you could mention the "natural" mechanism that has been the primary cause of this warming trend?
Also how about you try flipping though this a bit. Since that documentary usually where people claim to get their "research".
Have you examined the evidence or are you merely parroting the Alarmist position.
re: To j.b.
Lemme guess, here's where you got your evidence from.
greyfalcon.net = SPAM
I guess all you alarmists think Waxman is totally accurate in his assessment of the climate.
re: Stutz Bearcat
Can you name even one scientific institution anywhere that disagrees?
NO! What makes you say that? Are you assuming that I did? and why? A little presumptious on your part wouldn't you say?
As you may or may not know that are numerous original sources of data on every aspect of climate change variables.You can google them on ice, glaciers GMT, oceans, Co2, but I don't have that much time to list them all for you at this time.
I do not use Wikipedia either as I am a high school graduate.As I know wiki is unacceptable as a source for a freshman-sophomore 5 page paper at the community college.
Perhaps I may have perused a few science books in my time and think for myself after analyzing the various data. Verstehen!
Isn't it fitting that Henry Waxman is now atop the committe to regulate GHG's. Waxman, who represents the 30th congressional district of CA, which includes Hollywood and Malibu, where some of the most overpaid, overrated, gargantuan carbon footprinted hypocrites opine endlessly on the excesses of other Americans,
re: to j.b.
Well then perhaps you could mention what "natural" mechanism is the primary cause of the warming trend of the last 4 decades?
Hint, it ain't these:
Are you having trouble reading everyones' posts that questions the validity of AGW?
I asked , do you alarmists agree with what Waxman on his assessment of the climate and by the way did you read it carefully?
What does that have to do with naming "scientific Institutions" What, you have to "appeal to authority" to present your case?
Are you sure of that?
cheap meds!!

Silly me,
I thought when talking about Science that Evidence was what's important. Not rhetoric.
Silly me for backing up my statements with actual Evidence.
re: To j.b.
==Are you sure of that?==
Yeah, can be pretty sure about those factors.
In particular, we've had three sets of independent satellites directly measuring solar output since 1978.
(PMOD, ACRIM, and IRMB)
Temperatures have gone way up, where as the solar activity hasn't.
re: To j.b.
Not to mention that last little bit of that graph is completely wrong ;D
(As admitted by the researcher who made it)
What evidence are you talking about?
When I asked are you sure of that I was referring to your listed 5 different different factors and "hint it aint these"
I don't source from greyfalcon.net.I will not even go to greyfalcon. Surely you must know of better sources than greyfalcon and wikipedia.
Thus far it is you who hasn't provided reliable evidence.
Or maybe you should get straight on whom you are replying.
Finally I don't know which graph you are referring to?
Or are you assuming that I think you are talking about the discredited Mann, etal hockey stick?
So let me get this straight, according to you then all the "global warming" is a result of anthropogenic CO2 emissions?
And by the way, you mention over the last 4 decades and then you refer to satellite data from 1978, that would be 3 decades, which is it 3 or 4 decades?
And your the one with "lemme guess,here's where you got your evidence from"
Yes silly you with the "ain't" and "lemme"
Jeez> I just hope the idiots at EPA are reading this, so they understand what genie they have let out of the bottle. If the comments here are even partly representative of how people feel, this could be the beginning of the end for the EPA. ot to mention the environmental movement as a whole.
It is hard to argue with the fact that glaciers areound the globe are shrinking: wehave photographic and physical evidence. We can argue about whether the cause is anthropgenic, But we cannot argue about the results. Glacier national park will be glacierless in under 20 years.
The glacier feeding th ganges river an millions of people is shrinking. Global warming is going to have profound effects.
Preventing global warming is going to have profound effects.
If the EPA is right, then we need to figure out which one is greater and how to balance the effects for the least total damage.
If the EPA is wrong and the bloggers here are right, there is nothing we can do except try to prepare for profound effects.
There are extensive and extreme philosophical attitudes behind these developments. You can learn something about that aspect at:
which has revealing quotes from leading environmentalists and politicians such as Al Gore.
The best science blog of the year, Anthony Watts –
has extensive material on AGW and this move by the EPA.
re: Logan
So you're getting your "science" from a retired TV weatherman?
. . . should be enough to give everyone pause about the course being set by the new administration. Better if you read the entire post, but a picture is worth a thousand EPA career bureaucrats.
re: One graph . . .
Actually the part that gives me pause is that you are citing David Evans.
Also why is the paper he's citing for the whole basis of that "Multi Decadal Oscillation" concept not peer reviewed in a physical science journal?
And why is it hosted by a Libertarian thinktank?
In response to various statements posted by Enough (2:19 pm April 17, 2009):
"1) There is no solid scientific evidence (computer models don't count) that man has casued global warming"
Computer models don't count? SHould the IPCC go back and redo their study using an abacus or a hand calculator? What would count in your book? Moses coming down from the mountain with a tablet saying that climate change is real? Perhaps you should leave science to the scientists.
"2) 2008 was the coldest year on record in the past decade and further demonstrates a recent cooling trend"
The studies are based on data that goes back 130 years. Such data shows a clear long term trend. The comparison of 2008 to those in the last decade (every one of which is one of the warmest on record) means nothing. Given that tHere are other factors that contribute to average temperature, why would you expect every year to be warmer than the last? The question is not whether all termperature change is attributable to CO2 (its not). The question is whether factors other than man can account for all of the change (the IPCC has concluded that they do not). Again, you should leave science to the scientists.
"3) Even if man is the cause of global warming, there have been no sceintific studies that show it will be the end of the world or even that harmful (the worst case senarios involve mass migrations of humans, which is more feasible than the world stopping use of hydrocarbons)."
No study showing that it wil lbe the end of the world? Is that what it takes before you will support taking action? There are costs to living with climate change and there are costs to taking action to mitigate or reverse it. Many studies have been done that project a very favorable return for taking action now when compared to a base case of doing nothing.
and finally
"4) Even if man is the cause of global warming, it would be a worldwide problem and any unilateral effort of the United States will have absolutely no effect. In fact unless the entire world stops polluting CO2 100%, we will still have global warming, so any reduction is pointless"
Your statement is pointless. Nobody is saying that the US should just take unilateral action and ignore the rest of the world. Much of the developed world is already ahead of us in taking action. As for CHina, India and others, the US is very active in negotiating and prodding these countries. So yes, its clearly a global issue. The US has to be part of the solution. WHy would developing countries like CHina and India take any action if the US doesn't? And by the way, even James Baker (hardly a liberal eco-nazi) said that the US should take the lead in addressing this global problem.
That's it, Ahlport – attack what you believe to be the source, not the data.
The source for the graph was actually:
Graph and insight from Dr Syun Akasofu
(2009 International Conference on Climate Change, New York, March 2009)
re: one graph …
==Dr Syun Akasofu==
And is Syun Akasofu's paper published in a peer reviewed physical science journal?
Frankly looking through his paper, it's completely incoherent. And not terribly different from Roy Spencer's.
(Which also was not peer reviewed)
Now if they have the qualifications to publish peer reviewed papers, but neglect to ever legitimately publish them. What does that tell you?
But yeah, Ocean variation seems to be their last refuge.
The catch being their justification for ocean Decadal Oscillations being the cause is extremely flimsy. So they can't catch legitimately publish anything on it.
Well, after getting my degree in geology and working as a geologist for years, I can say that the Global Warming scare is just that – a politically motivated scare tactic to gain control over populations, over land, over money, over power, over valuable industries & commodities.
There is no concrete evidence what-so-ever of man caused global warming. In fact, the Earth is currently, and has been cooling for about 10 years. What is more, geologically speaking, the Earth has had cyclical warming/cooling periods for hundreds, thousands, millions, & billions of years. That is what is natural and it cannot be controlled or influenced significantly by man. I do keep up with current papers and studies on the supposed GW/CC subject too.
Sunspots and vacillations in the degree of the Earth's tilt also impact these warming/cooling periods; again influences much more powerful, more meaningful, and more significant that anything man could ever throw into the Earth's atmosphere.
The accelerated chatter, alarmist claims, and "doomsday predictions" by the eco-crowd about Global Warming, which was recently renamed "Climate Change" for marketing purposes because people were not "buying the GW label", is really just aggressive fear mongering and is all done for control & power over people. Don't kid yourselves that it is not.
There is value in limiting pollution of our drinking water, our soils, or our air; what I am saying is this cataclysmic fear-mongering about Global Warming/Climate Change is what is not real.
There are myriad scientists (thousands) that refute the very poor "science" and so-called "models" that Al Gore and his nut job buddies are touting.
The mainstream media doesn't report on the many, many papers and conferences refuting the pseudo-science on GW/CC. For the majority of the media, it just isn't "sexy enough", that is, it doesn't sell nearly as well as the "Earth is going to Die claims".
Moreover, most of the pseudo-science the alarmists tout is not proven, nor is there scientific consensus as they claim and desperately would like you to believe. And for those that don't know, science is not a discipline based on consensus, either, nor should it be. Science is information based upon fact, not upon conjecture, nor on supposition.
Another thing, CO2 is NOT a pollutant! They are selling you a bill of goods about CO2 for their Cap & Trade scheme coming into play in the near future. That folks is worth trillions plus!
Now let me think, where else have we recently seen all kinds of disinformation and scare tactics to pass all kinds of legislation that normally would NEVER be passed….ahhh, yes, it comes to me now, anybody hear of any trillion dollar bailouts? Uh huh.
Did Congressional members read the bills in that legislation in Congress before it was rammed down the public's throats to know what they were even voting on? No.
Another classic case of fear-mongering to rush legislation through that should not have been rushed through. Don't let them do it to us all over again with EPA or with Cap & Trade, that scheme is a monumental power grab world-wide.
One more thing, CO2 is a plant FOOD, not a pollutant.
Now that EPA has declared CO2 to be a harmful gas, how will they decide what the appropriate level is, given that CO2 is necessary to sustain life?
re: Rocky
Well then, could you perhaps mentioned what "natural" mechanism is the cause of the warming trend we've seen over the past 4 decades?
Hint, it isn't one of these:
Hopefully from a peer reviewed source.
Not an easy task though, since it doesn't exist.
David, well, since the earth is about 4.5 BILLION years old, 40 years doesn't mean jack sh*t on a global time scale. Neither does a variation of a few degrees. How does one take the "average" temperature of the earth without technologically advanced satellities that have only been around for a decade or two, anyways????
Hey Ahlport, what natural mechanism caused the Little Ice Age of the 1800s? Lack of CO2?
And make sure your response is "peer-reviewed". Is a peer someone who does research supporting AGW hypotheses?
One more thing, David. How many advanced scientific degrees do you hold? Surely you have at least an undergraduate degree in a hard science? If not, you have no clue of scientific principals and standards and thus you are not qualified to opine on the subject at hand, nor could you possibly have an understanding of the "scientific studies" that you promote.
You're avoiding the question ;D
re: Mr. Natural
==what natural mechanism caused the Little Ice Age of the 1800s?==
That would be the Maunder Minimum
A total lack of sunspot activity. Which explains the cooling.
Last 4 decades though we've had a wimpy sunspot activity, and warming.
A total lack of sunspot activity in the 1800′s? And how excact.y did scientists measure sunspots in the 1800s
re: let those with eyes see
And why would a Libertarian thinktank be a proper venue for Science?
Have you ever heard of Peer Reviewed Physical Science Journals.
They have this process thing called "The Scientific Method".
And are based almost entirely on evidence, not a sales pitch.
Libertarian think tanks are not proper venues for Science, but radical environmental groups are indeed proper venues, right, Ahlport?
I like how David Ahlport refused to answer my question on his credentials. Obviously he was a liberal arts or social science major, if he had any post secondary education at all. That would explain why he believes all of this nonsense. Hope this helps.
Yes, Ahlport, it's well-known that the best science happens in groups of right-thinking individuals – peers you might say.
Actually it is known that the best science occurs within the pages of wikipedia.
Uh fellows, since water vapor is a very effective greenhouse gas, shouldn't that have been included in the EPA's announcement?
re: Flipper
==Uh fellows, since water vapor is a very effective greenhouse gas, shouldn't that have been included in the EPA's announcement?==
No, because the amount of water vapor in the greenhouse layer is restricted by it's temperature sensitivity.
Water vapor doesn't drive changes, it only magnifies other changes.
So, it's only greenhouse gases created by man that are the problem? What's the target CO2 concentration required to stabilize the climate?

Administration at Walton is not what it used to be- it requires a very strong and insisting parent to insure that their student gets decisions made that actually help them (such as getting into important electives, or winning arguments against pushy administrators). The current principal is nowhere near as personable or helpful as his predecessor. Teachers like Mrs. Waters are the forces that keep this school great because they care about each student and about teaching in a manner that the students absorb and retain the material. Walton teachers cannot avoid the shadow of standardized tests that seek programmed test answers from students, but they still manage to lead creative, interesting classes that form a solid foundation of knowledge to support students entering college. I graduated Walton in 2002.
Some of Walton's programs are really good, but others are not. For example, the Fine Arts program, the Gifted Programs, and the Foreign Language Department is excellent. The Special Ed. programs need a lot of work, and the Guidence Programs also need much improvement. There are many extracurricular activities at Walton. The inside of Walton is disqusting, and needs so much work. Overall Walton is a good school, but could use some improvement.
Walton High School provided me with an excellent education and preparation for my college experience. The teachers were superb, the counselors were involved and informed, and the classmates were high achievers. I thoroughly enjoyed my four years at Walton, and wouldn't have traded them for anything. I'm now a pre-med major at a small private school in Florida, and I look back at my times at Walton fondly.
I have a sophomore daughter who attended a small Christian school (K-8) with 10 students in her 8th grade. She is now in a class with over 600 students and is in all honors or AP classes. Walton exceeds all our expectations for a school! There is a high level of concern for students shown by all faculty and staff and they provide an outstanding quality of education.
Walton is an amazing school with an amazing marching band. Although the school is in quite poor condition, the students and teachers have overcome this and have extremely high standards. I was also involved in 5 different clubs, one of which I was the vice-president of my junior year. The club, UNICEF, raises thousands of dollars in donations each year. Also, I was in the national ranked marching band for my entire high school career and it was a life changing experience for me.
Both of my children have had a great experience at Walton. My son was in the band and my daughter was in the athletic program. The teachers are great and really care about the students. Most kids excel because of the teacher and parent support. This is really a public private school.
I was a student at Walton. This is a horrible school. Save your children and do not send them to this school. I wish I could get back the years I wasted there. The average student falls through the cracks. This school is so bent on being perceived as great it fails to recognize the work needed for greatness.
The former Principal was one of the best in the country. His legacy has been sabotaged by the present administration. I had a child with difficulties that graduated in 1999 and Walton and its Principal made sure he succeeded. I now have an above average child that is falling through the cracks because the administration refuses to listen to me. A great school has fallen on hard times.
The teachers work well with students. The school could use a lot of work but over all a great school to be at. It is also home of a great marching band.
Our son has had a learning disability since 4th grade, he is now a junior. We did live in the Woodstock middle/high school district of Cherokee County and he was doing very poorly. We moved to East Cobb because of the schools....and boy! What a difference. Dodgen was great and Walton helps him every step of the way. The faculty that teaches him daily lets us know where he needs help and improvment. We all work together to help him daily. We love being able to access his grades daily through the internet. We always know if he is keeping his grades up or slipping. It's like a daily report card. Though they have a great special education department it takes the parents participation when there is a learning disability involved.
I have a student in his Junior Year. He was tested and confimred to have ADD, but has been in GA's gifted program since 2nd grade. I advised the school, but gotten nowhere as far as the 501plan is concerned. They do very well with students who have no problems. Their gifted program and their foreign language department, as well as their Art programs are very poor. Athletics are great. If you have a child that is gifted and has ADD, I would not recommend this school. I did not know this about Walton until I moved into the neighborhood to ensure a good school. Little did I know that all good schools have a down side. This school has failed to help my son.

Remember when sex was safe and motorcycles were dangerous? Longtime two-wheel fanatics may recall the stern warnings from our concerned fathers regarding the single most dangerous part on your very first motorcycle. No, not the nut behind the bars - the burning-hot exhaust pipe. Pop-rocking, motorcycle-riding, all-around bad girl Pink apparently didn't get the memo. The singer suffered the dreaded "pipe burn" during a recent ride aboard hubby and freestyle motocross legend Carey Hart's bike.
Will the singer allow the mishap to put the brakes on her passion for motorcycles, or the men who ride them? Not likely, as she was in good spirits soon afterward, even poking fun at the accident via Twitter. She was quoted as saying, "burnt my leg on hubby's pipes," following that up with a statement that sparked a bit of controversy: "burns are no fun. Hot pipes aren't either. At least not that kind."
We're not going to take a stab at what she's referencing there. Let's just hope Pink's not in too much pain to perform another semi-nude acrobatic routine in time for next year's Grammy awards, and is ready to tear up the streets on on her favorite Triumph again soon.

The Cincinnati Reds entered this week's series against the Chicago Cubs at home with a great chance to gain ground on the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates. With the Pirates on a road trip facing the Texas Rangers, as well as the Cards playing the Milwaukee Brewers, this could have been a chance for the Reds to finally move up past their two NL Central rivals in the standings.
Alas, the Reds lost 2/3 at home to the Cubs, and are now 3 games behind the Cardinals for first-place in the division.
With no games left against St. Louis, their chances of winning the division are lessening each day, but there's still plenty of time to decide who will host the one-game Wild Card playoff. With just two game separating them and the Pittsburgh Pirates for home-field-advantage in the one-game playoff, the upcoming six games between the two over the next three weeks will be fun to watch as the two ballclubs fight for home-field advantage, at least for one game.
The Reds could also be getting help soon in the form of pitcher Johnny Cueto. Still recovering, Cueto threw 60 pitches to live batters Wednesday in the second simulated game of his comeback from a strained muscle below his right shoulder. Cueto has on the disabled list since June 29, and adding him would be a tremendous boost for a pitching staff already among the best in the Majors.
Left-hander Sean Marshall passed his biggest test since going on the disabled list May 24 with shoulder tendinitis. He threw 23 pitches to live hitters Tuesday, and could bolster a thin bulllpen in time for the playoffs.

Colerain Township Trustees appointed Colerain Township Assistant Administrator Frank Birkenhauer to be interim administrator, effective Oct. 1, at the board's meeting last night.
He will take up the duties of retiring Colerain Township Administrator David Foglesong, whose last day at the helm will be Sept. 30.
Colerain Township Trustee Dennis Deters said the search for Foglesong's replacement is under way and the board is pleased with the progress, but the board does not intend to rush the process. He said Birkenhauer will serve as interim administrator until the replacement is hired.
Colerain Township trustees are looking for a financial director and a new administrator. In July, when Foglesong's retirement was announced, the board hired Management Partners Inc., to conduct the search for both positions. The contract with Management Partners was for $28,000.
Birkenhauer did not apply for the position, and plans to return to his duties as assistant administrator and economic development director once the township hires Foglesong's replacement.

THE ERINYES (The Furies) were three netherworld goddesses who avenged crimes against the natural order. They were particularly concerned with homicide, unfilial conduct, crimes against the gods, and perjury. A victim seeking justice could call down the curse of the Erinys upon the criminal. The most powerful of these was the curse of the parent upon the child—for the Erinyes were born of just such a crime, being sprung from the blood of Ouranos, when he was castrated by his son Kronos.The wrath of the Erinyes manifested itself in a number of ways. The most severe of these was the tormenting madness inflicted upon a patricide or matricide. Murderers might suffer illness or disease; and a nation harbouring such a criminal, could suffer dearth, and with it hunger and disease. The wrath of the Erinyes could only be placated with the rite ritual purification and the completion of some task assigned for atonement.The goddesses were also servants of Haides and Persephone in the underworld where they oversaw the torture of criminals consigned to the Dungeons of the Damned.The Erinyes were similar to if not the same as the Poinai (Retaliations), Arai (Curses), Praxidikai (Exacters of Justice) and Maniai (Madnesses).They were depicted as ugly, winged women with hair, arms and waists entwined with poisonous serpents. They wielded whips and were clothed either in the long black robes of mourners, or the short-length skirts and boots of huntress- maidens.source: www.theoi.com image: Orestes pursued by the Furies by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

Honorary awards
The Hon Justice Mary Genevieve Gaudron
The degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa) was conferred upon High Court judge the Hon Justice Mary Genevieve Gaudron at a Law ceremony held on 29 October 1999.
Justice Gaudron also gave the occasional address at the ceremony.
I have the honour to present the Honourable Justice Mary Genevieve Gaudron for admission to the degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa).
Justice Gaudron has been a judge of the High Court of Australia since her appointment in 1987 at the age of 43. She was the first woman to be appointed to this supreme judicial office, and remains the only woman in Australia to have held such a position.
Her Honour was educated at St Ursula's College, Armidale, and then at the University of Sydney, where she graduated in 1966 with first-class honours and the university medal in law. Later, while at the Bar during the 1970s, she served as lecturer in the Law of Succession at the University of Sydney.
Her Honour was admitted to the NSW Bar in 1968 and commenced her practice sharing chambers with Janet Coombs, the first woman to practise at the NSW Bar. Justice Gaudron had an extensive practice, with a special interest in industrial law and defamation (though she also undertook a number of civil rights cases). Perhaps the two cases for which she is most widely known are her success in the High Court appeal in the defamation case O'Shaughnessy v Mirror Newspapers (1970) and her pivotal role appearing for the Commonwealth in the 2nd (1972) equal pay case. As she later commented: "We got equal pay once, then we got it again, but we still haven't got it".
Justice Gaudron was appointed Deputy President of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission in 1974, a post she resigned in May 1980 on a matter of principle. She then taught briefly as Visiting Fellow at the University of New South Wales, until she was appointed Solicitor-General of New South Wales in February 1981. She is said to have described law teaching at Sydney and UNSW as the 'hardest job she ever had'. As NSW Solicitor-General, a position she held until her appointment to the High Court in 1987, she appeared frequently for the State in many important cases in the High Court of Australia.
Her career on the High Court has been a distinguished one characterised by many notable judgments. While it is difficult to single out only a few for special mention, it would be remiss not to draw attention to the profoundly moving judgment she co-authored with Sir William Deane in Mabo (1992). Other judgments which will leave a powerful legacy include those in Banovic (the Australian Iron and Steel Case: 1990), Kruger (1997) and Kartinyeri (1998).
Justice Gaudron has pursued many interests outside the law. In addition to her well¬known love of speleology, she once played the mandolin with a band called "Jock Strap and his Elastic Band". She is also renowned for her ready wit, both in and outside the courtroom. In one notable instance when before the NSW Supreme Court's Full Bench (predating the establishment of the Court of Appeal in 1970), Chief Justice Herron is alleged to have said to her: "Miss Gaudron, I am sure that if Lord Esher [pronounced Eesher] were with us today, he would prefer to have his name pronounced as I have just done, rather than in the mispronunciation you persist in using". Whereupon Her Honour is reputed to have thrown her Law Report on the floor and said, "If he had been with us today under whatever appellation, I am sure he would have been capable of appreciating the legal argument I have been trying to put to this court."
Justice Gaudron has been a member of the Council of Macquarie University, and is a highly sought after speaker and commentator on a variety of issues. In her address to the launch of Australian Women Lawyers in 1997, she reflected upon the difficulties Australian women had faced in the legal profession, and on the role of feminist legal theory in responding to that situation. She shared with her audience a comment she had made to a High Court colleague as follows: The trouble with the women of my generation is that we thought if we knocked the doors down, success would be inevitable: the trouble with the men of your generation is that so many still think that, if they hold the doors open, we will be forever grateful.
Chancellor, I have great pleasure in presenting the Honourable Justice Mary Gaudron for admission to the degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa).

Keeps Dogs Secure
posted 5 years ago
Both our our dogs have their own seatbelt harness. After the initial fitting, they are easy to put on and take off. My dogs do not chew them and they don't seem to mind wearing them. The harness material is durable. The harness keeps the dogs on the back seat and in place while I am driving. Having these harnesses provides a great sense of security in the event of an accident.
Pros: Easy to put on, Keeps dogs in place while driving
Cons: None

Eight Different Classes of Vertebrates Help
Introduction to the Eight Different Classes of Vertebrates
Although all vertebrates share a common core of characteristics, they still show a very wide degree of diversity or differences among them. This diversity is reflected in the existence of eight different classes of vertebrates. These are named the Class Agnatha ( AG -nuh-thuh), Class Placodermi ( PLAK -uh- derm -ee), Class Chondrichthyes (kahn- DRIK -thees), Class Osteichthyes ( ahs -tee- IK -thee-eez), Class Amphibia (am- FIB -ee-ah), Class Reptilia (rep- TIL -ee-ah), Class Aves ( AY -veez), and Class Mammalia (mah- MAY -lee-uh). [ Study suggestion: The eight different vertebrate classes are each labeled with brief representative pictures in Figure 12.4. Before reading any farther in this chapter, see if you can match each of the pictures with the appropriate English translations of their Class names, as follows: the Class of "birds;" the Class of "cartilage-fishes;" the Class of "livers of a double life {on both the land and in the water};" the Class of "jawless" fishes; the Class of animals with "breasts;" the Class of "bony fishes;" the Class of low-"crawling" animals; and the Class of fishes with "flat-surfaced skin."]

The members of Class Agnatha, fish-like creatures "without" ( a -) "jaws" ( gnath ), were probably among the very first vertebrates to appear on the Earth. Chapter 3 told us that the vertebrates first appeared about 500 million years ago, during the Paleozoic or "Ancient Life" era. It was also during this era that the first amphibians and reptiles evolved.
Class Agnatha, now including about 60 species, mainly consists of the lampreys ( LAM -prees) or "rock-lickers"! Lampreys, of course, do not actually lick rocks! Rather, they are slender, eel-shaped vertebrates with a large, round mouth that attaches to fish and sucks out their body fluids. Lampreys have gill slits, like a fish, but they are not generally considered a type of true fish, since they lack both a hinged jaw, as well as paired fins. (A fish in general is a vertebrate that lives in the water, has a body covered with scales, has a hinged jaw, breathes with use of gills, and has paired fins for swimming.) Due to their primitive characteristics, the modern lampreys probably resemble the first jawless vertebrates in many ways.
Class Placodermi: Extinct Armored Fishes
The Class Placodermi consisted of a group of jawed fishes called placoderms ( PLAK -uh-derms) that are now all extinct! The placoderms were armored fishes with tough, "flat-surfaced" ( placo -) "skin" ( derm ).
Class Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes
Class Chondrichthyes: Fish With Skeletons Of Cartilage
The Class Chondrichthyes is technically the group of "fishes" ( ichthy ) with skeletons made of "cartilage" ( chondr ). This group chiefly includes the sharks and sea rays. Even though their skeleton is made of relatively soft cartilage, the sharks have very hard teeth that are bony. These cartilaginous ( kar -tih- LAJ -ih-nus) fishes all have hinged jaws and paired fins.

Woman takes a photo of herself every day for a year, chronicling the affects of an abusive relationship.
This is heartbreaking. You can see the happiness and hope slip from her eyes with every shot.
tw domestic abuse
Ladies think about what you are getting yourself into when something little like a slap in the face happens. Stand your ground. You are beautiful and very fucking intelligent, and you always have a say, ALWAYS. RESPECT YOURSELF BEFORE OTHERS TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU.
This is a powerful video but fuck the commentary above me. Don't ever think someone can just stand their ground against a domestic violence perpetrator. That isn't how it works in a DV situation. And don't let anyone tell you to "think about what you're getting yourself into" you didn't get yourself into fucking anything. Stand your ground? Jesus fuck that's the worst thing I've ever heard. Are you trying to get women killed? I work with these women daily and despite what people say or think its almost always safer for a woman to STAY in a DV situation. A woman's chances of being murdered by her partner go up 75% when she leaves her abuser. And it takes an average of seven times before a woman can safely and successfully leave her abuser. So please think before telling women to stand their ground and think about what they are getting themselves into. Jesus. Um also victims of DV don't inherently lack respect for themselves. Their perpetrators lack respect for them.
What does that paper say at the end?

This is a fic about about Seven Different Universes Where Steve Rogers Put His Hand on the Tesseract and Asked, In A Moment of Rage and Despair and Weakness, for Bucky Barnes to Remember Which is to Say, GOD I WANT ALL THE AWFUL THINGS IN THE WORLD.
Basically, this is not a fic about fluffy unicorn puppy cuddles. The first universe involves suicide. Things proceed from there.
Steve Rogers puts his hand on the Tesseract, and he wishes for the Winter Soldier to remember. The Winter Soldier looks over his shoulder for a moment, makes eye-contact, but still leaps out the skyscraper window onto the back of a super-light glidercraft to make his getaway.
Six weeks later, teenagers looking for a place to drink find a mostly rotted pile of human remains on a shuttered Army base. The state forensic unit determines male, white, mid-thirties. It turns out there is a cache of weapons mixed in with the remains. He could have shot himself using one of the guns, and it's possible that decomposition has hidden signs of a struggle or force, but from everything they can tell, it was a long, slow death — self-strangulation by hanging from military-grade nylon climbing fiber looped through a catch on the flagpole.
Steve Rogers puts his hand on the Tesseract, and he wishes for the Winter Soldier to remember. The Winter Soldier looks over his shoulder for a moment, makes eye-contact, and it's hard to tell with the domino mask, with the adrenaline, but Steve swears the man smiles and says, in accented English, "What makes you think I don't know already?"
Then, the Winter Soldier jums out the window onto the back of a super-light glider. Steve gets to the window in time to see it swoop away for the horizon, but SHIELD catches up with him three months later, after a botched job in Jakarta where he is sold out by his own employers. Sitting in an interrogation room, hands chained to the table and feet chained to the floor, his face looks bare without the mask. There are scars; there is a metal left arm, and when asked by a skilled, trained interrogator while Steve stands behind mirrored, bulletproof glass, the Winter Soldier shrugs. He says he went to a black-market freelance telepath about a decade ago. It was bothering him to have a hole in his memory, and it cost a lot of money, so he made sure it worked. He remembered.
He just didn't care.
Without bothering to look at Steve through the mirrored glass, the Winter Soldier goes on: the past is past. The dead are dead. He is a pragmatist, concerned with the future. What can SHIELD give him?
Steve Rogers puts his hand on the Tesseract, and he wishes for the Winter Soldier to remember.
It has the effect that he wants. The Winter Soldier comes to a skidding stop about twenty feet away. He crumples; he goes down on his knees, and he makes long, terrified noises of fear. Steve hesitates, but sees the Winter Soldier yank his mask off and throw it on the floor. There are real tears. There appears to be real anger. Steve steps close, then a little closer; the sight of his old, best, childhood friend on his knees, weeping, feels like a knife in the heart.
But it isn't a knife in the heart: instead, it's a thin, flexible metal blade driven between the C-3 and C-4 vertebrae in order to catch the cervical spinal nerve. The knife is expertly inserted, and once in, the Winter Soldier gives it a twist, so that the micro-hooked edges catch. Cutting the spinal nerve between the C-3 and C-4 removes the body's ability to control breathing; if Steve lives long enough for medical help to reach him, removal will cause even more damage.
Then, the Winter Soldier bends low, so that his mouth is against Steve's ear.
"You let me fall."
Steve makes an uncontrolled gurgling noise. He tries to move his hands, but doesn't have control of any part of his body below, say, his jaw, and the Winter Soldier takes the Tesseract from Steve's loosening hand, then straightens gracefully, runs to the end of the hall, and swan-dives through the window onto a remote-controlled glider.
Steve Rogers puts his hand on the Tesseract, and he wishes for the Winter Soldier to remember. It has the effect that he wants. The Winter Soldier comes to a skidding stop and starts to weep. Steve steps close, then a little closer; the sight of his old, best, childhood friend on his knees, weeping, hurts like a knife in the heart. Steve kneels down on the floor, too: SHIELD agents come crashing into the hallway. Bucky is shaking and crying too hard to even look up and see the guns they've pulled on him, and Steve has to keep them from shooting.
One morning, six months later, Steve wakes on the Helicarrer. The space in bed next to him is cool, as if —
Steve opens his eyes, but finds that after that, he can't move. Bucky comes into view from the edge of Steve's vision; there are blue, lit-up dots in each of Bucky's ears.
"You kept me in the Commandos," Bucky says, quietly. "I wanted to go home."
Steve struggles. He tries to sit up in bed, but finds he can't. He tries to raise his right arm, but finds he can't even control his fingers. Bucky leans close enough so that Steve can feel breath on his ears, hear the high-pitched sound of the neural plugs that keep Bucky from being affected by the paralysis field in effect over the cabin.
"In the past seventy years, how many times have I had to lick come off my mouth and pretend I liked it?" Bucky says. He straightens, and his eyes are full of contempt. "You should have remembered I never wanted that before."
Steve swallows convulsively, which is the most movement he can manage: he can see there is a detonation trigger in Bucky's left hand, and Bucky, after seeing Steve's eyes move there, explains that there are shaped, remote-triggered explosive charges in every vital system and every backup system on the Helicarrier.
"That shouldn't have — " Steve is on his knees, leaning against his shield. He breathes out, closes his eyes, and opens them again. "I wished on the Tesseract for him to remember."
Natasha is standing. She looks at him. "Do you mean the Winter Soldier?"
Steve nods. "Yes."
The end of the hallway is covered in broken glass; the light glider came and went.
"That wasn't him," Natasha says, and she almost sounds like she pities Steve. "You killed the Winter Soldier three floors below."
"I'm sorr — "
"There isn't anything to apologize for."
The man sitting on the couch looks tired. Outside, it's Minneapolis at the end of a long, golden summer day: a kid rides her bicycle down the sidewalk with her parents following a few feet back, chatting. There is the sound of a lawnmower, and sitting in front of Steve is a tea tray with what he understands to be the traditional Russian manner. Honey, jam, lemon, cake and three kinds of cookies.
"I'm glad you came, so that we could talk. After you leave today, though, it would be a good idea for you never to come here again. I'm done with that part of my life."
Bucky stands, and Steve does too. Bucky holds out his hand, and Steve steps forward to shake it, but when he looks behind Bucky's shoulder to see Natasha sitting on the back step behind the kitchen, legs stretched out in the sun. The newspaper put out by the local Russian immigrant community is folded next to her; she has her face tilted back to enjoy the warm sun. She is comfortable, content; she took a leave of absence from the Avengers for anything short of a planetary disaster, and Steve sees, lying on the floor underneath the coffee table, dog-eared, the book on modernist dance theory Natasha had been reading on the Helicarrier between missions.
Steve comes into the room at a dead run and almost slides past the doorway to Bucky's quarters on the Helicarrier. It's keyed to his palmprint, so he can open it; after a moment where it stays stubbornly shut, it opens with the chime that indicates it was locked, but is being opened from the inside. Once it's open, Steve sees —
"What happened?" he says, throat tight.
Natasha looks up. There is a spray of blood across her face, and more soaking her right arm, almost up to the elbow.
"Did he try to — "
Natasha smiles in that way she does, where there are almost dimples and it's almost a smile, but not quite.
"This is old business, Steve. Do you know what he did to trainees in the Red Room?"
Steve says, quietly, "We never talked about it."
"For a good reason. He owed me," Natasha says, and she considers him for a long, long moment. "Are you going to try to keep me from leaving?"
Steve looks from the mess of blood and — other things back to Natasha, and when he doesn't move, just breathes hard, she pulls the knife from Bucky's throat and slips a clean one from the inside of her wrist. She is wearing her black tactical suit, and she is smiling in that almost-but-not-quite way that Steve used to think was something individual to Natasha, but over the past six months, he has seen it enough on Bucky's face to learn otherwise.
Distantly, an alarm is sounding. Steve looks from the body back to Natasha and wonders if he can get use the tray on Bucky's desk as a shield — it still has a half-eaten meal on it. Natasha sees him glance over at it, and still smiling like the man who broke her to obedience when she was thirteen, Natasha settles into a fighting crouch.


text: 21 years ago, a small Irish boy named Niall James Horan was born. He liked to roam the fields of Ireland, in a tractor sometimes. He liked to eat potatoes, and stew, and he liked to dance. Oh, did that boy love to dance. And as the years went on, Niall became a very talented Irish dancer. And Niall is 21 years old today. So if you're out in the United States of America tonight, please be careful, and watch out, because he loves beer, and he will be very, very dangerous. So keep an eye out. Will you please all join me to sing happy birthday to our very own Irish son, Niall James Horan, while he Irish jigs? … Welcome to Niall's birthday party, thank you so much for being here. There's an after party at Niall's house, we'll see you there!
