Here’s an interesting, and plausible, theory on the Litvinenko case. It comes from the comments section of the Belmont Club post titled “Litvinenko Again”.
The big truth being concealed here is that by sheer luck on our part and stupidity on our enemy’s part, a nuclear weapons program was disrupted. Britain cannot publically accuse Russia of allowing the covert transfer of nuclear weapons components into Britain because that would be an act of war that would have to be acknowledged.
Polonium for a nuclear weapons program? That’s right. Polonium is a key ingredient in the neutron trigger, or initiator, for nuclear weapons.
“Climate’s always been changing and it’s been changing rapidly at various times, and so something was making it change in the past,” he told us in an interview this past winter. “Before there were enough people to make any difference at all, two million years ago, nobody was changing the climate, yet the climate was changing, okay?”
–Reid A. Bryson, PhD
That’s a quote from an interesting article, The Faithful Heritic, published in the Wisconsin Energy Cooperative News. Dr. Bryson holds a PhD in meteorology and is the founding chairman of the University of Wisconsin Department of Meteorology—now the Department of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences.
When asked to comment on the long-range predictive abilities of the climate models used to generate scenarios 50 or 100 years in the future, he counters with the question: “Do you believe a five-day forecast?”
More great photographs of the 2007 Dan Harris Challenge are available. 
Click the image on the left to see them. They were taken by a local amateur photographer with a Canon EOS 20D. Because he feared the rough water would cause a lot of blurred images, the photos were shot with the camera in burst mode. Apparently he ended up with several hundred images and may upload more to the gallery when time permits. If you like what you see you should check back in the future.
Frankie Dammann, a member of the New Whatcom Rowing Club, took some great photographs of the 2007 Dan Harris Challenge.
