    Katherine Richardson: Climate science is – like Darwin did – challenging what the vast majority of society believes is an economic pillar – slavery trade then, fossil fuels now.

    Sendt af Ole Terney ( webredaktør ) d. 10th december 2009

     

    Katherine Richardson, a marine biologist at the University of Copenhagen, and chairman of the Danish climate commission said 9th December 2009 at the COP15 Peoples Climate Summit:

    The climate debate is like the Darwin debate: "Both debates are about how humans think about themselves. In the case of Darwin it was, ‘Can we really just be another species and may be decended from ape?’, and in this case it is ‘Can human beings, as small and insignificant as we are, really have an impact on something as huge as the Earth and the way it works?’ "

    "In both cases we are challenging what the vast majority of society actually believes is an economic pillar of the time. In the case of Darwin most of the people in power believed that economic growth was not possible without slave trade. When you come with an argument that we are all the same family and we are selling our brothers it kind of undermines slavery. That was one of the big problems in terms of social acceptance. And obviously we know that climate science is challenging the economic belief that you cannot have growth without fossil fuels as a source of energy".

    Prof. Stephen H. Schneider, Stanford univ. på COP15: Vi burde tale om “Climate-denier gate”.

    Sendt af Ole Terney ( webredaktør ) d. 10th december 2009

    Prof. Stephen H. Schneider, Stanford univ.: "Climate gate" contra "climate-denier gate".
    COP15, Peoples Climate Summit, Copenhagen, Denmark.

    Prof. Stephen H. Schneider at COP15 Peoples Climate Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, commented 9th December 2009 on climate gate ("when in fact it is climate-denier gate"), climate spin doctors, and climate sceptics.

    Stephen H. Schneider, Ph.D., Presidential Adviser, 2007 Nobel Peace Prize IPCC co-recipient; 2009 National Geographic Fellow; Melvin and Joan Lane Professor for Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies; Professor, Department of Biology. Senior Fellow, Woods Institute for the Environment; Professor, by courtesy, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford University.

    Author of the book "Science as a Contact Sport: Inside the Battle to Save Earth’s Climate. National Geographic. November 2009.

    From the book cover: "One of the world’s leading climatologists, founder of the journal Climatic Change, and senior participant in the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), his work has been instrumental in framing both the internal debates within the scientific community and the very public debate on understanding and dealing with climate change."

    Spam mail med phishing udnytter frygt for h1n1 influenza ( svineinfluenza )

    Sendt af Ole Terney ( webredaktør ) d. 4th december 2009

    Hvis man modtager en mail, som giver sig ud for at komme fra det amerikanske influenza-overvågningscenter Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) har man modtaget en spammail. Og hvis man svarer, giver man uvedkommende adgang til ens computer og til at fiske data (det som kaldes phishing).  Mailen kan endog tilsyneladende komme fra bekendte, da nogle spammere kan fiske fra ens mailbox. En forsker fik endog tilsyneladende en spammail fra sig selv.

    Spammailen lyder således:

    "You have received this e-mail because of the launching of State
    Vaccination H1N1 Program.

    You need to create your personal H1N1 (swine flu) vaccination profile
    on the cdc.gov web-site. The Vaccination is not obligatory but every
    person that has reached the age of 18 has to have his personal
    Vaccination Profile on the cdc.gov site. This profile has to be
    created both for the vaccinated people and the non-vaccinated ones.
    This profile is used for the registering system of vaccinated and
    non-vaccinated people. Create your personal H1N1 Vaccination Profile
    using the link [deleted]."

    Advarslen her kommer fra Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) <cdc@service.govdelivery.com>

    Løsningen er ikke at åbne eller svare på uventede mail, der virker mistænkelige, og ikke at trykke på links, som virker mistænkelige, ikke at give personlige oplysninger fra sig, og opdatere antivirus, spyware og firewall og antispam software.  En forsker skriver, at han altid sender et spørgsmål tilbage til den tilsyneladende afsender om at bekræfte, at det virkelig var dem, som sendte en uventet vedhæftet fil.

    Naturfoto

    Sendt af Ole Terney ( webredaktør ) d. 1st december 2009

    Professionelle, danske naturfotografer og amatører har nu fået et sted at vise deres bedste naturfotografier uden at måtte give afkald på retten til at bestemme over billedets fremvisning på Internettet. I den forbindelse har man oprettet en ny forening. Internetstedet åbnede 1. december 2009.
