It was a lot like when former Vice Presient Gore won for his work on global warming. While it was certainly admirableand maybe even deserving of on eof the Nobel science prizes, I dn't see how it has helped increase peace in the world.Al Gore ... Science ... you're joking right? His movie has been blasted, not only by people who think global warming/change is a fraud, but also those that believe it is real. Didn't his movie get kicked out of British schools or something because it was so flawed? Nope, I think even the Nobel committee isn't going to go that far and call Gore's work "science".
Um... I'm going to go with "It was kicked out of British schools because it didn't represent their worldview, then allowed again because of media attention" and that "Gore's work was the use of his public platform to bring attention to climate change, which would cause wars as more water became salinised and crops had to be moved to more fitting climates."
Here in the U.S. several of the major news outlets, like NBC and BC are opennly specukating that today's bombing of the moon is a test for the bomb that has been devloped to take out Iran's nuclear reactors. President Obama just signed an appropriations bill tha would speed up the development and construction of th Massive Ordinance Penetrator, the weapon that Secretary Gates has openly said was inteded to use against Iran.
'And in todays news, Zombieneighbours found massive reassurance that his oppinion that sometimes americans really do make them selves look like morons, in a post by David Fryer. British sense of smuggness at all time high'
Come one David, if your going to put on the Tin Foil hat, atleast provide citations for the Bill and for Secretary Gates. I have trouble believing that America is at testing stage on a kinetic harpoon weapon system, because frankly, the real world isn't that cool.
PS. after having read up on MOP, i get to say that a, the real world isn't as cool as fiction, what a dull weapon system and B, Truely Epic science fail by you media..that is up their with a richard and judy science interview, which is the the footage to define what an epic science fail looks like.
Flame alert! Flame alert!
Anderlorn, I think we are quite up to the task of exterminating ourselves.We can try but I think we never could completely kill each other off or it would have happened already... :) We would not be at 6 billion people.
You seem to underestimate the length of a nuclear winter... and its effects.
Radiation can make people sterile, cause cancer, and ultimately death by radiation burn. A nuclear missile cuts DNA into... smaller ribbons, even if the person is a ways away from the blast. In many sci-fi/post-apocalyptic settings, mutant animals roam the countryside. While this is somewhat far-fetched, genetic mutations - when DNA is mixed up - almost always results in death; when it does not, it can severely impair growth and cause mental/physical handicaps in even grown people."So what?" one might ask. "People can just go underground and wait it out." Unfortunately, the processes of nuclear fission have an extraordinarily (albeit much faster than natural atomic decay) long half-life; nuclear waste, which would be released by an A-bomb strike, takes thousands of years to diffuse. Almost certainly, before the time when radioactivity was neutralized, the generations of cave-men would have been curious enough to try to explore their home - either that, or killed each other in fights. Even if the nuclear waste wasn't released, the atomic bombs would still effect the same damage.
Ultimately, even if they didn't get out of their caves, when they came out the world would be irrevocably damaged. If anything more than cockroaches survived, it would be the only species occupying its niche, and all of the organisms would have fast-forwarded in evolution.
Unless we start colonizing other planets soon, a nuclear war would destroy mankind and countless other species. We can't ride out the storm in an ark.
