Wasting Time @ Work
The infamous John Cook @ Skeptical Science notes that there is a live feed from the AGU Chapman Climate Communications Conference. Bunnies can even ask for carrots.

Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett
Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

Bob Wards analysis of the UK is interesting. Seems that it will take a lot to turn around the UK post-email theft.
Uh oh..., I think that I may have a fat head coming on....
I tweeted a link to my "global temperature virtual machine" to #climatechapman: https://twitter.com/caerbannog666/status/343763616333451264
And lookie who re-tweeted it!
I'm up to my armpits in the grand-conspiracy now!

caerbannog, what about that cheque from Al Gore?
Off topic, but since I don't know how to Email you, you might be interested in this:

Rich Puchalsky, thanks a lot. I didn't know about PERI, but I know about Robert Pollin (author of book, Contours of Descent) and Gerald Epstein (contributes to valuable magazine Dollars and Sense).

caerbannog, what about that cheque from Al Gore?
No cheque -- just duffel-bags of cash, in unmarked non-sequential bills.
Oh, Al... I'm still waiting for that first duffel-bag. You haven't forgotten about me, have you??

The people at PERI also did the study that found the problems with the Reinhart / Rogoff 90% austerity number. (Well, the two professors who co-authored the paper are at PERI. The lead author, the grad student, I'm not sure about.)
I've been working with them for a while on their Toxic 100 project. But we recently branched out into greenhouse gas work -- basically, taking the polluting facilities in the U.S., as reported to an EPA database, and adding them up by parent company. I was surprised by how much of the U.S. total emissions comes from a few companies.
Rich, the list was not very surprising, electric generators, oil companies, and the odd concrete/lime producer. What would be interesting would be a ranking of the electricity producters by percentage of coal/gas/nuclear/renewables.
Anything that looks at just electricity producers has been done often already, because they're very well studied and monitored in the U.S. both by EPA and DOE. NRDC has a "Benchmarking" yearly report that does just what you're talking about, I think.
