Massie's science questions (not the political science ones, which were unnecessary) were the kind of questions Mr. Kerry should have been asking the scientists advising him. Anybody leading scientific endeavors or most anything else needs to know a good deal of the subject matter, in order to evaluate truth, fiction, and oversights. But he can't; he doesn't have the relevant education. Massie displayed good Socratic questioning. This is essential when trillions of funding are at stake. The Press doesn't do it, as they should. It takes education in thermodynamics, radiative heat transfer, differential equations, and a bit of quantum mechanics to understand greenhouse gas behavior. This is part of top mechanical engineering curricula. Unfortunately, very few in our society have this background and hence can fall under the spell of spin masters if not skeptical.

The currents help carry warm water from the equator northward and southward thus providing the poles with warmer climates. But since the currents are slowing down, the data suggests that will result in a warmer equator but much colder the farther north and south you get.

Patents are not necessarily relevant to climate change. What are they patents for? (My father held a patent also. It was on the processing of sesame seeds. Did that make him a specialist on climate change?) And Kerry didn't come up with the facts himself. He is relying on information from climate scientists with Ph.D.s who have devoted their lives to the study of climate. That is the crucial point. And what is in it for Republicans to deny global warming? Oh yeah--it might hurt the oil industry (i.e. BIG MONEY). It's a conflict of interest.

At the time, the team set several world records including a lap speed in excess of 62 mph (99 kmph), and straight-away speeds in excess of 70 mph (112 kmph).[6] In 1992, Massie won MIT's then-named 2.70 ("Introduction to Design and Manufacturing", now named 2.007) Design Competition.[7] MIT professor Woodie Flowers, who pioneered the 2.70 contest, mentioned that Massie watched this contest on television in seventh grade and wanted to come to MIT to win this contest.[8] In 1993, at MIT, Massie and his wife started a company called SensAble Devices Inc.[9] Massie completed his Bachelor's degree in the same year and wrote his Bachelor's thesis, Design of a three-degree of Freedom force-reflecting haptic interface.[10][11] Massie was the winner in 1995 of the $30,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for inventors,[5] and the $10,000 David and Lindsay Morgenthaler Grand Prize in the sixth annual MIT $10K Entrepreneurial Business Plan Competition.[12] The company was re-incorporated as SensAble Technologies, Inc., in 1996 after partner Bill Aulet joined the company.[9] They raised $32 million of venture capital, had 24 different patents, and 70 other employees.[13] Also in 1996, Massie completed his Master's degree (SM) and his master's thesis was titled Initial haptic explorations with the phantom : virtual touch through point interaction.[14] Massie sold the company, and he and his wife returned to their hometown in Lewis County."

As a farmer we raise 5 ton per acre in crops. Those crops are made up of sugars, proteins and carbohydrates. Those are all compounds that include carbon. That carbon is literally pulled out of the air. I believe that there are cities where the emit a concentration of co2 more than they produce but in the country, our emissions are a fraction of what we put out. As a farmer, I shouldn’t be charged a carbon fee. If anything I should charge a carbon fee for the way my farm cleans the air and feeds your body so that you can emit carbon into the atmosphere with every breath you take.

[@dampaul13]

The co2 from crops isn't a sustainable way to harvest co2 from the atmosphere, unless new forms of regenerative farming techniques are used (which most farmers don't). This is unlike the growing of trees for lumber or other plants (like bamboo), where the resultant crop's co2 isn't released during consumption, making it a sustainable way to harvest co2. The co2 is trapped in the lumber until it is either burnt or decays. The co2 in food crops is released, including in the form of other damaging gases like methane (ie. when consumed by farm animals). There is no net gain, in terms of co2 harvesting.
