Re: [ATM] Shutting Down the Night Sky

[Jeff Rowe <jroweapp@swbell.net>]

Friends;
It is easy to continue this thread ad infinitum, please continue more 
pleasing activity, like building telescopes and looking at the nights 
sky. Do you all know what the greatest funding mechanism in science is 
today? The sky is falling , and please give me a billion pounds 
sterling,  and I'll prove it.  In our short walk on the planet, we have 
seen many "fads". I would suggest, that science is not an opinion but a 
collection of the best evidence. Who funds the evidence? In the 1970's 
we were presented with  evidence, that  soon we are going to freeze in 
the dark, (Limits to Growth, The Population Bomb, Erhlich et. al.) 
Frozen knickers yet? What happens when all the dinosaur blood is 
converted to living plants; (there is no lethal dose to CO2 in the green 
world), in the green realm. I do enjoy Kew Gardens.  How many green 
stems are there now in the permafrost, the deserts, and the Arctic 
regions, that never existed heretofore? I shudder and laugh when I see 
50 pound silver, carbon taxes, on air flights to visit London. The great 
money grab of our times ( I would like a modest 1% VAT that goes to my 
recently created institute, and I will tell tell you anything you want 
to hear).

Millions voted for Stalinism, National Socialism, Moaism, and the like. 
Winston Churchill was revered and cast asunder, what is the legacy of 
Neville Chamberlain?
At the time of Galileo, he was a decided minority, If a vote was taken 
then, the earth would be the center of the Cosmos.

Americans are "strange" cousins, we like to get in our trucks (small 
lorrys) with our 1/2 meter and bigger telescopes,and drive 500 miles and 
back, to observe the beauty of the night skies. We also like to tee up 
golf balls on the moon. Forgive me but what is the CPU chip in your 
machine,( AMD Intel) you logon to the net with?

Help me, what does Kyoto say about China , Indonesia, India and the 
rest?   The US and Austrailia are not "Bonnie and Clyde".   IMHO the sky 
is not falling.

Lets build telescopes and take any and further discussion off list. 
Please lets take it off list, thank you!

Warm Regards
Jeff Rowe
