350 Is The Upper Limit
"If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted... CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 385 ppm to at most 350 ppm." Jim Hansen, NASA

Artists
Pay attention to artists. They will tell you… things. Things you want to know.
Then again, the dumb crap at the beginning of the video makes you wonder.
I am Jon, but am I an artist?

For Your Sunday Viewing Pleasure
Thanks to Calculated Risk…
Remember – Every time these guys squeeze out another 100 billion dollars, that’s 100 billion dollars of THEIR DEBT TRANSFERRED SQUARELY ONTO YOUR SHOULDERS.
Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citi, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, AIG, GMAC should ALL be forced to fail. These are the guys who really created this mess, and they are the guys who are successfully transferring all of their debts onto you and me and William and Francois and Achmed and Kim and Igor and…
By the way, how do you like the ‘change’? A tax-evader running the IRS and another one in the queue… yay obama? And that 800 billion dollar ’stimulus’? That’s 800 very large bills transferred to you, and by bills I mean the kind you are responsible for paying.
I am Jon. I’m having enough trouble paying MY debts, to hell with them.

“Bernoulli’s Gift”
Expected Value = (Odds of Gain) X (Value of Gain)
This is, generally speaking, a pretty good way to make decisions. It doesn’t just apply to money, it can apply to everything in our lives. It probably does, whether we know it or not. Plus it has the added quality of being easy.
Or does it? If it’s so easy, why do we have such trouble making the right decision? Why is it so difficult for us, individually and as a national and global Whole, to do the right thing?
Dan Gilbert does a great job discussing that problem. The video is about 23 minutes, with a Q&A session lasting about 10 minutes at the end. I’m betting if you sit through the 1st part, you will definitely want to check out the Q&A at the end. It’s a holiday – you’ve got time…
OOPS! The embedded video stopped working. Click the link above for a great presentation.
I’m going to watch this again, I think.
I mean, seriously – this is an awesome video.
Thanks to Barry at The Big Picture.
I hope everyone’s holiday is going well.
I am Jon, sitting right beneath the weather.
