What I am reading 3/6/2014

The Lewis and Crok exposition - Climate less sensitive to Carbon Dioxide than most models suggest - “The observational evidence strongly suggest that climate models display too much sensitivity to carbon dioxide concentrations and in almost all cases exaggerate the likely path of global warming,” says Nic Lewis. #globalwarming

China's got a supergun - The ZH-05 OICW is pattered on the original XM-29 design. The Chinese gun combines a 5.8-millimeter rifle and a 20-millimeter smart grenade launcher in an over-under configuration. The new weapon weighs just 10 pounds fully loaded—its low weight likely due to the launcher’s antiquated, but still effective, manual bolt action. #china #military

The Anti-Empirical Left - President Obama entered office promising to restore the sanctity of science. Instead, a fresh war against science, statistics, and reason is being waged on behalf of politically correct politics.

The Face behind Bitcoin - (This page is very slow-loading so here is a link to The Verge with a summary) - A trail of investigation reportedly led to "a 64-year-old Japanese-American man whose name really is Satoshi Nakamoto," and who has "a career shrouded in secrecy, having done classified work for major corporations and the US military." (Don't forget my theory - Bitcoin is an NSA Plot designed to offload cryptobreaking tasks onto unsuspecting users GPUs.  Just Sayin' is all) #bitcoin
