just science climate change app
the 'just science' app for iPhone presents the results of the expansive 'berkeley earth surface temperature' ('BEST') research study
'just science' a free app for iPad and iPhone designed by the novim nonprofit research group, presents the results
of the 'berkeley earth surface temperature' ('BEST', or 'berkeley earth') study in a graphic and interactive format.
the 'berkeley earth' study integrates all major existing databases of the land and sea surface temperature record
from 1800 through 2009, including data from over 39,000 temperature stations. based around a heat map of the world,
the 'just science' application lets users interact with this data, zooming in to particular geographic regions,
changing the playback speed of the visualization, and comparing temperature changes across different years.
the 'berkeley earth' project suggests another possible mode of research in the future in its efforts to publish
their complete data set and software code, providing a kind of opensource framework for researchers.
combined with the 'just science' app, the project suggests an interesting way to bring the often-esoteric
discourse of science research into everyday discussion.

How many climate change scientists does it take to change a light bulb? None, but they do have full consensus that it WILL change.
ALGORE is my shepherd; I shall not think.
He maketh me lie down in Greenzi pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still-freezing waters.
He selleth my soul for CO2:
He leadeth me in the paths of self-righteousness for his own sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of reason,
I will fear all logic: for thou art with me and thinking for me;
Thy Gore’s family oil fortune and thy 10,000 square Gorey foot mansion, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a movie in the presence of contradictory evidence:
Thou anointest mine head with nonsense; my obedience runneth over.
Surely blind faith and hysteria shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of ALGORE forever.
The global scientific community is comprised of millions of scientists and experts all over the world and as long as these millions of concerned experts refuse to march in the streets and ACT like it’s a CO2 crisis for their kids too, we can only conclude academic exaggeration?
Seeing even some of the millions would bring back the lost support for CO2 mitigation.
Climate Change is doomed for the storage boxes in the basements of Academia.
SCIENCE gave us the pesticides over half a century ago that made environmentalism necessary in the first place.
We were fools to be so obedient to these lab coat consultants with the license to exaggerate.
Hi Al Gore, would you please cut your bulshit please? Have you not earned enough money with your 'green credits' on this 'global warming', oh pardom me, 'climate change'? There are many more scientists that disagree with your ideas, so stop pretending to be one. You are an egomaniac with a special agenda and man-made global warming fits that agenda pretty well. Anti-developement, anti-rich, anti-car ...
the list goes on.
How about polution? Looks to me like this would be a mroe realistic issue than eliminating CO2, which belongs in our atmosphere anyway.
Meme Mine - your comment is awesom!
because you have all missed what I consider to be the point of the article, which is something really interesting:
"combined with the 'just science' app, the project suggests an interesting way to bring the often-esoteric discourse of science research into everyday discussion"
Whatever your opinion about the BEST study is,the Just Science app is a visualization of its results.
You can argue with the study itself; you can't argue against the app.
On the contrary: this idea of converting data into an app (and having the open source results, etc. etc.) is an AMAZING one for the scientific community.
