One of the most useful aspects of science is that data can be used to make predictions. By collecting data and studying how systems interact, it is possible to extrapolate further using the data, and to thereby make predictions as to the outcome of future events. One of the tests of the accuracy of a theory is the accuracy of the predictions it makes.


Climate science uses mathematical modeling, based on climate models. In the early days, numbers had to be crunched by hand, using slide rules and pencils. Nowadays we have supercomputers capable of making millions or billions of calculations per second. The more calculations that can be made, the more accurate the model will be.


Scientists working in the field of climatology have been making predictions about global warming since as early as 1896. Back then, the calculations were slow because computers didn

Every time there is a disaster or “mistake” involving the petrochemical industry, gasoline prices shoot up.

Consumer Advocate Enters Prez Race Again — Ralph Nader Running As Independent


Ralph Nader Running As Independent


NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. Ralph Nader is running for president again.


This time the veteran consumer advocate has declared himself an independent.


Democrats still blame the former Green Party candidate for spoiling the 2000 race for then-Vice President Al Gore.


Nader, 73, says that the Democrats were inept in stopping then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush from winning the White House.


In 2004, Nader’s presidential run captured much less than the 2.7 percent of the vote he garnered in 2000.


This time Nader’s chances are much slimmer with many of his previous supporters backing one of the two popular Democrats, Sens. Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.


Nader said last week that he wants to debate Obama over his inconsistent messages.


The former first lady is on the ropes after losing 11 straight primaries in less than two weeks.
