JFK Asked for the Moon?Now It?s Time for Obama to Ask for the Earth

After a long period of silence on the issue during the campaign, President Obama now says that climate change is one of the top priorities for his second term.

The President has been almost completely silent in his defense of the scientific community. If he wants to elevate the issue, he must defend the science. Period.

As part of his 2012 ?person of the year? interview with Time magazine, Obama said that he would make environmental issues?particularly climate change?a major focus in the next four years.

?And so, on an issue like climate change, for example, I think for this country and the world to ask some very tough questions about what are we leaving behind,? he said.

Indeed, we do need to ask some very tough questions?of the President.

MORE: Are 'Champion Trees' a Climate Change Silver Bullet?

Although Obama says that he wants to elevate climate change in his second term, it?s not evident that the White House has a clear plan to address the problem.

His first-term Administration deserves a lot of credit for laying the foundation for an energy transition in the U.S. Since 2008, Obama and his team have strongly supported renewable energy, efficiency standards, automobile fuel standards, and power plant regulations for mercury, air toxics, and carbon dioxide. The importance of these actions should not be minimized?they collectively represent the broadest range of support for clean energy in American history.

But this does not add up to a coherent climate strategy.

Since the failure of the climate bill in 2010, the Obama Administration has backed away from framing any of its domestic environmental objectives in a climate context. At the same time, Administration officials claim on the international stage that these individual actions add up to a plan that shows the U.S. is committed to addressing climate. The White House can?t have it both ways.

If Obama is serious about making climate change a top issue in the coming years, he will need to clearly explain to the American people how and why he?s going to address it. That means using his position as arguably the most powerful leader in the world to defend the science, frame the immediacy of the problem, and make hard decisions about our energy choices.

Defending the science

Shortly after his reelection, President Obama indicated?he wanted to have a ?conversation? at the White House with top climate scientists. But he will have to go much further than simple conversation.

As scientists have become more outspoken about the urgency of the problem in recent years, industry-funded climate denial groups and nonsensical cable news pundits have stepped up their personal attacks. But the President has been almost completely silent in his defense of the scientific community. If he wants to elevate the issue, he must defend the science. Period.

Framing the urgency of the problem

Obama also needs to stop talking about climate change as a distant problem for future generations. Every time the President speaks about the issue, he frames it as a problem for his children?just as he did in his recent Time?interview.

?You don?t want them dealing with stuff that?s the result of you making bad choices,? Obama said in his interview.

Fair enough. This is indeed a generational issue. But climate change is happening right now, and in many cases faster than we ever thought possible. And if the President wants to convince Americans that climate is an issue worth tackling now, he needs to do a much better job of explaining why we?re already ?dealing with stuff? as a result of our bad choices.

Consider this: Last summer, the Arctic lost an area of sea ice equivalent to Canada and Texas combined. In the last 30 years, summer sea ice has declined by 40 percent?with between 70 to 95 percent of that due to human activity.

In 2012, the U.S. experienced the hottest and most extreme year for weather on record?a year marked by destructive wildfires, a devastating (and still ongoing) drought, a powerful derecho that knocked out power for tens of millions of people, and a freak superstorm that wreaked havoc on the East Coast.

"You look out the window and you see climate change in action," said Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research this summer.

This is not just a problem for future generations; it?s a problem today. And elevating climate as a national priority means connecting the dots for Americans.

Making hard decisions

Along with promoting cleaner sources of energy, the President has also overseen a dramatic expansion of oil and gas production. Driven by new hydraulic fracturing techniques that allow access to unconventional oil and gas reserves, America is on track to become the world?s largest liquid fuels producer by 2020. It would be wrong to say that Obama is the reason for this boom. But he has clearly supported the expansion of fossil fuels?even encouraging new oil drilling in Arctic waters.

Obama is truly an ?all of the above? president. This makes for good politics. But it makes for terrible climate policy.

According to the International Energy Agency, we need to keep roughly two-thirds of proven fossil fuels in the ground by 2030 to avoid disastrous climate change. That means making difficult choices about limiting expansion of fossil fuels and avoiding the build-out of a massive new range of infrastructure that will be in place for decades. Without a doubt, this is the hardest?and most politically toxic?piece to consider. The Obama Administration has made no indication it would be willing to seriously limit the amount of fossil fuels we are digging out of the ground. But it must be willing to take on the issue if climate is going to become a serious priority.

Obama?s second term will most likely be marked by severe gridlock. This will prevent any piece of comprehensive climate legislation from getting passed. But that doesn?t mean other key elements?a carbon tax, carbon pollution standards for new coal plants, or insurance reforms for disaster-prone areas?are off the table.

In order to get measures like these passed, President Obama must be willing to stand up, discuss the urgency of the problem, and once again make climate a central part of the policy conversation in Washington. That will be the proof that it?s a priority for him.

If you were President Obama, what would your highest priority be for your second term: lowering the debt, passing comprehensive immigration legislation, or signing a climate change bill, like cap and trade? Tell us in the COMMENTS below.

Instead Of Writing Down Your Next Idea, Draw It - Business Insider

Dan Roam knows this better than anyone. He?s the author of?The Back of the Napkin?and?Blah Blah Blah, two terrific books about the power of ?visual thinking? to solve problems and communicate ideas.

Here?s how Dan defines visual thinking, it means:

?taking advantage of our innate ability to see ? both with our eyes and with our mind?s eye?in order to discover ideas that are otherwise invisible, develop those ideas quickly and intuitively, and then share those ideas with other people in a way they simply ?get.??

As a consultant to companies like Google, eBay, General Electric, Wal-Mart, and Sun Microsystems, Dan has figured out ways to help people use visual thinking to solve problems, share ideas, and come up with new inspirations.

I talked to Dan last week by phone. Here?s an edited transcript of our conversation (along with some wonderful drawings contributed by Dan):

Annie: How did you get started in bringing these visual-thinking tools into the workplace?

Dan: Like a lot of people, I was one of those kids who drew a lot in school. I just never stopped. In college, I double majored in biology and art meant that when I graduated I was functionally unemployable. But I did have a trade?graphic design?which helped put me through school, and after college my first job was in graphic design. When you?re a graphic designer, it makes sense to draw all the time to express what you?re thinking. Through a complicated series of events, I then became a management consultant. In that context my drawing habit made me weird, because no one in business draws. But eventually I found ways to bring drawing and consulting together, and once I started helping companies with a visual-thinking approach, people told me I should write a book. That?s how?The Back of the Napkin?happened.

Annie: Don?t you hear from people, ?I can?t do this, I?m not a visual person? or ?This won?t work for me, I?m a terrible artist??

Dan: I do hear that, and I tell them: We are fundamentally visual by virtue of being human. It is crazy to me that we spend our entire education becoming more effectively verbal while completely ignoring our visual capacities. Sometime around second grade, teachers stop using pictures, stop encouraging students to draw their own pictures. If you ask a class of kindergarteners, ?Who can read and write? Who can draw??, most of them can?t read and write yet, but every one of them can draw. Pose the same questions to a class of tenth-graders, and while every one of them will say they can read and write, only a handful?the ?artists??will say they can draw.

Our visual skills begin atrophy from disuse, and even more insidiously, we start to denigrate the visual parts of our brain. We think it?s unreliable; we think it?s superficial; or we think it?s juvenile and patronizing. ?You?re drawing me a picture? What, you think I?m in kindergarten??
The good news is that this bias is easy to overcome. I listen to people tell me they can?t draw, I put a pen in their hand, and a minute later they?re drawing. The key is that we use a very simple set of symbols: basic shapes, lines and arrows, stick figures. People should have access to this visual grammar.

?

Annie: What can pictures do that words can?t?

Dan: There are aspects of knowledge that can?t be expressed through words. But actually, the two complement each other. Often the best approach to solving problems and generating ideas involves a combination of words and pictures. When you add pictures, you add
layers and dimensions of thought that are almost impossible to achieve with words alone. Words can limit our ideas, confine them. Sketches don?t do that so much. They leave space for what?s still emerging. And drawing pictures relieves the stress of keeping an idea in your head. It?s a way to get your idea down while still keeping it in a fluid state.

Annie: Do you find that practicing visual thinking has an impact on you beyond the individual problem you?re working on?

Dan: Yes, because visual thinking gives us the tools to look at the world in a new way. You start seeing things that other people don?t see.
The mental tools we?re used to using put blinders on us. When we come at problems and ideas from a new angle, we?re able to see new solutions.

I highly recommend Dan?s books,?The Back of the Napkin?and the new?Blah Blah Blah. Readers, have you ever used a drawing to solve a problem, communicate a thought, or come up with a new idea? Please share your stories.

Finishline hoodies tend to be smaller than normal right? I remember buying a medium last year and after I washed it, it felt like a small.

7

great DEAL, thanks just in time for secret santa gifts!

8

Does anybody know how the sweatpants run? small as well? The pants look narrow... I wear size small in nike sweats but size medium in hane sweats.

9

These are nice, soft hoodies. Got two last time they had the 2 for $30 sale and did not regret the purchase. Some people complained that they run small, this was not the case with the ones I purchased. They were true to size.

10

I would think twice before buying hoodies from finishline. The quality is not there, and these will shrink after a few wash.

11

FYI - This is also available on other things. Most notably: I have seen it on NCAA sweatpants as well!

Geeky Hobbies: My Warmachine Army ? Monster Hunter Nation

Posted on by correia45

So now for something a little lighter. As long as I get about 10,000 words written per week, I allow myself Sunday after church as Correia Family Craft Time. Which means me and the kids paint minis. Or they paint for fifteen minutes, and then get bored and wander off, and I keep painting at the kitchen table, streaming Burn Notice in the background, or hey, new Mythbusters comes on Sunday. :) Mini painting is what I do to shut my brain down and destress.

But anyways,?a year ago?I got into painting miniatures, mostly samurai for the Legend of the Five Rings game that I was playing with my kids. Then Howard Tayler and Dan Wells introduced me to the game Warmachine. So then it gave me an excuse to paint little dudes, and then make them fight?other little dudes! And if you like tabletop gaming, I recommend trying Warmachine. Think steam punk robot vs magic monster armies fighting. Sort of like chess, on speed, only if you could change out the different pieces, and give the chess pieces magic powers,and then throw some dice in for random chance. Very fun game.

This is my Mercenary army so far. I went for a sort of conquistador vibe. (hey, I?m Portuguese, just can?t help myself).? This is only about a third of the models that I?ve picked up?for it though. By the time I get done it is going to be fairly ridiculous.
