Hillary at State is much, much more preferable than John Kerry.ģ. Like the fact that Larry Summers is on the team given the ignominy of his fall at the hands of the overwrought feminist-victims. Would have personally preferred a top man like Bob Rubin, John Thain or perhaps Jon Corzine. Geithner at Treasury puts the policy wonk in the top spot and is the safe pick. The Messiah's cabinet picks have been better than expected. Have you ever seen a President-elect have THISMUCH limelight? He might as well already be Co-President or President.Ģ. Monk's been busy as have I, throw in a 'technical' issue to boot and a general funk from the election and, well, there you have it.ġ. It's called the Archimedes Principle."Īnd hopefully will be a bit more active going forward. After the ice melts, the sea level didn't go up in your glass of water. "I call it a fourth grade science experiment. "When the ice melts, sea level actually goes down. "When the Arctic Ocean ice melts, it never raises sea level because floating ice is floating ice, because it's displacing water," O'Brien said. He took issue with the AP article's assertion that melting Arctic ice will cause global sea levels to rise. "But everything that's attributed to global warming, almost none of it is global warming." "Global climate change is occurring in many places in the world," O'Brien said. But he said he worries that scientists and policymakers are rushing to make changes based on bad science. James O'Brien, an emeritus professor at Florida State University who studies climate variability and the oceans, said that global climate change is very important for the country and that Americans need to make sure they have the right answers for policy decisions. Unfortunately, it appears that this is not only bad science, but bad basic science: They predict Arctic waters could be ice-free in summers, perhaps by 2013, decades earlier than they thought only a few years ago.

Scientists fear that what's happening with Arctic ice melt will be amplified so that ominous sea level rise will occur sooner than they expected. FoxNews has a good article in response to an alarmist AP offering on Monday which called global warming a "ticking time bomb":
