  • Warmer with a Chance of Pestilence (Climate Change - Is it Really That Big a Deal?)

    It’s getting hot in here. And apparently there is some disagreement between Mike, Jon, Tom, and our guest Mandy about climate change and associated affects. We discuss polls indicating climate change being a very important issue, UN State of the Climate report, whether global climate change is happening, areas getting warmer and some areas getting cooler, the average temperature of earth going up or down, environmental measurement equipment and accuracy, statistical error, Alex Jones, Antarctic rain forests, every grandparent agrees the earth is cooling, thinking about aliens, Bill Gates’ eugenics and population control work, whether global warming is bad, earth warming creating more habitable zones and food production, ocean level rise being slow and manageable, Water World, volcanic eruptions, increased moisture slowing earth rotation, increased desertification, earth heating up not being good, everything is a tradeoff, relative concern of those making measurements, using metal to measure distances, National Institutes of Standards and Technology, installing rain gages, depending upon measurements of others, blinky little lights and headlight fluid, Centigrade versus Celsius, reported temperature changes, greenhouse gases and aerosols, glaciation and natural lakes, whether we can we have stasis, first world countries and ocean level rise, geopolitical system based around oceans and navigable waters, Appalachia and other mountain regions, Denver is safe, vested interests whipping up the masses, dominant world powers for the past several thousand years have all been coastal, the Mongols were not coastal, Julius Caesar and Mesopotamia, the Bronze Age Collapse and trade, increased pestilence harming versus temperature and rainfall/moisture increase benefiting third world countries, more water and marshes, less deserts, permafrost melt releases bacteria/viruses, younger people most concerned about climate change, gloom and doom, forty year old kids, affluent kids talk about climate change, lithium strip mines, birds aren’t real, older people have learned to adapt, pandemic response negatively affecting younger people, climate change not a big deal, affluent kids not walking the walk, sustainability in third world countries, science versus engineering perception, journalism schools not being collocated with engineering schools, public misunderstanding of science versus engineering, science is pursuing knowledge whereas engineering is solving problems, reporting on problems but not solutions, safe drinking water and adequate food production, exponential temperature increase, the 1970s ice age and energy crisis, temperature is a measure of the energy level, atmospheric water vapor increasing with temperature increase, increases in hurricanes and tornadoes, more water vapor does not necessarily mean more frequent or intense storms, correlation versus causation, rate of adaption to climate change, people grasping for control of their lives, Santa Cruz versus Manhattan, expensive homes along the ocean coasts, beating mother nature, recycling being worse than not, nuclear energy is sustainability solution, Jimmy Carter was right, moral disgust, Spotted Owls and shutting down logging, bringing back Saber Toothed Tigers, sustainability a worthy goal, learn to code, modern space race should be energy independence and sustainability, science as religion, do your own research, question everything, and trust nothing.

  • It Wasn't Poltergeist Carol Anne (UAPs, UFOs, Space Law)

    Aliens. They’ve not just passed their junior high space travel class, it seems they’ve got some marketing sensibilities as well. So, we’re talking both shop class and FBLA (look it up folks). Mike is out for this one (we all have our limits). Jon and Tom seem to start out relatively focused, but you know how it goes. We discuss the term UAP versus UFO, Project Blue Book, NASA involvement in the search for alien life, intelligent versus other aliens, something called astrobiology, SETI, planets outside our solar system being obviously no big deal, difficulty walking on a planet with three times the mass, prevalence of UAP and UFO terms over time, Air Force saying there is nothing to see here, government catalog record metadata in terms of volume, nobody had a camera then they needed it in years past compared to everyone having a camera on their cellphone now and image manipulation yielding lack of belief the image is actual representation, what the heck we are actually talking about as a UAP/UFO, Tom had a UFO experience and still can’t explain the underlying phenomena, Air Force General Hoyt Vandenberg dismantling a UFO investigation program, aircraft fly faster over time, Project SIGN, Project Grudge, North Dakota University Space Science program, war nerves, National Defense Authorization Act funding for investigation,, a 1970s TV show being rebooted, maybe aliens have some sort of advanced technology, whether aliens will take over or not, whether aliens are really a big deal or not, new religions being developed around aliens when they show up, politicians becoming priests to keep their power, guessing that most people would freak out over aliens, not understand why aliens are a big deal, Dungeons and Dragons, sports fans, not Mean Girls, Navy tic tac videos, funding for detection programs, space law coursework, commercial space transport, asteroid mining, detection of potentially earth impacting space objects and funding for such, deflecting space stuff, terraforming, the first space war, aliens not letting us destroy ourselves, the Watchers, Fantastic Four and Uatu on the dark side of the moon, Antarctica is easier to get stuff done on than the moon, humans bombarded by radiation on the moon as ionosphere and magnetosphere not existing on moon, having no desire to go to the moon or Mars, Elon Musk, Tesla (maybe SpaceX) gets there before any US government program, 34 million miles to Mars, whether we could capture a space object like and asteroid to make a space ship instead of bringing up materials from earth to do such, intermediary staging logistics for space travel, everyone going to Mars on the first trip will die, Space Race with the Soviets, and the aliens are here!
