Weekend Cat Blogging #87 is simply bursting with feline goodness, so go check it out before they all take a nap.

You can’t go wrong with Carnival of the Cats #150.  Celebrate a sport-filled Sunday with all manner of kitty mayhem.

Don’t forget about Carnival of the Dogs.  I promise they won’t bite or growl… much.

And the climate change discussion already goes downhill.  The IPCC just released their latest report on climate change, yet already it’s being called “too optimistic” by scientists around the globe.  The truth is far more troubling than even the IPCC is saying, and that only “because it set a December 2005 cutoff date for submission of scientific papers and other data.”  I’m afraid the outlook is even bleaker than the report intimates, and it seems our planet’s journey will be far worse than has been theorized… and we’ll travel that dangerous road at speeds faster than has been stated.

Blaspheme your infidel self over to Carnival of the Godless #59 for a healthy dose of skepticism and atheistic rationalism.
