Global Warming and number 13


So how is the number 13 related to Global Warming? I found some very interesting connections which I say is nothing but coincidence!

Try a small search on Global Warming long with the number 13 (global warming + 13) and you will notice that most publications, press releases, and news articles were released on the 13th of any month. Many books were launched on the same date. Summits and conferences were arranged on the 13th.

Also interestingly, a public forum was held at the Australian National University in Canberra on 13 July 2007. Scientists from the Australian National University, Stanford University, USA, and ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies gathered here to debunk the skeptics of the Global Warming theory.

There are a few more amazing coincidences :
  • 13% of Americans have not heard about Global Warming according to an AC Nielsen report
  • In 2007, ahead of the G8 Summit, thirteen science academies (also signatories) issued a declaration affirming the existence of global warming and the necessity of counter-measures
  • The US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) claims that they have been working on areas of climate change and global warming for the last 13 years. Another point to note here is that this program is sponsored by thirteen federal agencies.

This blog reminds me of the movie "23". Where Jim Carry would calculate things and would end up with the answer 23. But he never had a single pattern for the calculations. Try looking for global warming +15 or global warming +14. You will find posts on 14th or 15 of some month. Coincidence may be or we can put the blame on David Blaine for the illusion.

I am glad you got the Gist. That is the essence of the article. We always see what we would like to see. So we make things lucky or unlucky ourselves. Wait till you see more of these 13 related posts. :)

Random Babble: Bore

The word 'Bore' has a lot of connotations. All connotations can be found in a dictionary. So why am I doing it here? Because I can and I am plain bored. Bore: To be a bore. Someone who has the ability to spread boredom. This should not be mistaken for a superpower. It is more common than you can imagine. Illustration: The author finds some of his posts a bore . Bore : Bore is used to define the diameter of a tube or tunnel or anything circular. Its associated more to a hole. Gun barrels also are identified using the bore. No Calibre is different, this is more related to the barrel. Illustration: The bore of the barrel of the gun pointed at your face is directly related to your ability to hold your bladder. Bore : Bore is also a sort of digging term related to the process of digging into something. It perhaps obvious since Bore seems to like tunnels and holes. Its only natural to associate itself to the process of digging too. Illustration: The termite bore holes in my book...

Why Science isn't helping?

A lot of you may immediately raise your voices arguing over this. I can already hear some of them...'What do you mean Science isn't helping?'....'Its ridiculous to think science isn't helping'... 'Then what about all the advancements around us thanks to science'. I hear you. But let me tell you why Science isn't helping us the way it should. It is true we have made a lot of advancements in the different fields of science & technology. We have nuclear power, bio-genetics, space flights and more. But if you look closer you will realize that any field where humans have tried to use science to replace a part of nature, it has resulted in catastrophe. Science has mostly derived its inspiration from nature. Let it be the Libelle G-suit used by modern combat pilots (which is inspired by the humble dragonfly) or Artificial Intelligence which tries to mimic the brain. This inspired development also known as Biomimetics has helped science make tremendous l...
