Busy times...

When I started this blog, I knew I wouldn't be posting very often. I was finishing up my final year of teaching, for one thing - who knew retiring could be so busy? I did hope that retirement would give me the time to do this more, though...

Not so far!

Besides increased involvement in the Green Party of Canada (running for a volunteer position on their Federal Council), I've been having a lot of fun taking on a small cluster of climate change deniers at http://AbsoluteAstronomy.com in their Global Warming forum. It's very rewarding, in its way. They have been trotting out every technique I've seen - "it's not real; we aren't the cause; somebody's making a career of it; it'll be beneficial; the changes are natural; the science is uncertain"...

So I go in & refute, chapter & verse, with citations. It's fun. Feel free to join in!
