Our scientifically illiterate politicians:

"I have flown twice over Mount St. Helens out on our West Coast. I'm not a scientist and I don't know the figures, but I have a suspicion that that one little mountain has probably released more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere of the world than has been released in the last ten years of automobile driving or things of that kind that people are so concerned about."

- President Ronald Reagan, 1980

Not quite. Cars emit about 81,000 tons of sulfur dioxide per day, while Mount St. Helens emitted only about 2,000 tons.

"Is there some thought being given to subsidizing the clearing of rainforests in order for some countries to eliminate that production of greenhouse gases?"

-Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-California), when asked whether the U.S. climate policy should focus on reducing carbon emissions.

Rainforests actually absorb far more carbon dioxide than they emit.

"What the science says is that temperatures peaked out globally in 1998. So we've gone for 10-plus years where the temperatures have gone down."

- Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisconsin), 2009 in an interview with conservative radio show host Jay Weber.

The mean global temperature has in fact been increasing since 1998.

This is a fun fact:

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit [as Earth]....Mars is somewhat the same distance from the sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."

- Dan Quayle, former vice president, commenting on President George H.W. Bush's Space Exploration Initiative as quoted in This New Ocean by William E. Burrows.

Did you hear the one about the scientists who couldn't manage to extrapolate a rotating Earth from a temperature graphs where the peaks and troughs are generated in response to one rotation each day ? -

" It is a fact not generally known that,owing to the difference between solar and sidereal time,the Earth rotates upon its axis once more often than there are days in the year" NASA /Harvard

By all accounts we should be having a discussion on the Earth's largely Equatorial climate but with extremists running amok in astronomy there is no room for meaningful discussion. I find it cruel but that is just me.

Why bother replying if that is all you have to say ?.

It is extreme cruelty to force through an idea that the Earth is into the next full rotation after 23 hours 56 minutes when a daily temperature graph demonstrates that no such horror exists. February 29th ,as both a day and rotation when the temperatures will peak and trough along with all the others, provides an opportunity to explain the proportion between rotations and days and so many more things .

There is enough cruelty out there in the world not to bring it into astronomy and its relationship with terrestrial sciences and especially these basic but lovely facts even when wrapped up in a simple temperature graph.

In a world that is all too eager to act as a pseudo-authority on matters which it has no feeling for, something as simple as a daily temperature graph brings observers back to what matters even if a graph doesn't really capture the progression of a day and a rotation of our home planet -

Some people who get older think they know how the world works and act accordingly whereas a small minority also knows how the world works yet continue to act independently and in spite of stupidity and hostility. This is what separates the compliant from the productive and creative and it has always been like that.
