by the national academy of sciences has just put out a range of studies peer reviewed studies which show that the impact of droughts the impact of water scarcity the impacts of agricultural collapse as well as today makes in diseases and things like that could all be interacting and that they could actually have a worst case scenario global impact which could be very very devil. stating for societies including. north america that most studies kind of emphasize you know the role of developing countries or poorer countries but i see this study says that you work in north america could be really really badly affected by some of these impacts so that just highlights that you know even if we don't you know even if we kind of just turn a blind eye and say well if the companies fall in the day we're the ones who are going to basically face the brunt of this i just i'm you know these companies are going to continue doing what they're doing so we really do have to start thinking about innovative ways we can challenge these companies in the way that they do things yeah and here we are still arguin

peer review can take a number of forms ranging from external reviews by the national academy of sciences or the epa's federal advisory committees to contract a coordinated reviews. consistent with guidance we require a peer review of all epa research projects and for all influential scientific information and highly influential scientific assessments. among the external advisory committees is the epa science advisory board. our sap reviews are conduct did by groups of independent non-epa scientists at the range of expertise required for that particular advisory topic. we invite the public to nominate experts for the panel sent to comment on candidates being considered by the sab by epa for sab panels. epa evaluates public comment and information submitted about epa as nominees. the epa's review expert confidential financial information is available to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest. if ebp reviews are conducted in public sections in compliance with the open government requirement of the federal advisory committee act. the public is invited to send him provide oral and wri

if you take the elite scientists of the united states who are members of the national academy of sciences, they've been elected as distinguished scientists, then it's about 10%. are religious. if you actually meet a scientist who claims to be to be religious and you ask what they really believe, it's quite likely to turn out to be some sort of pantheism. probably -- in cases, in some cases it really is a christian god or the jewish god. but quite often it is actually a pantheistic sort of einstein yang religion which is not really what i would call god belief at all. >> host: i know that you've done a number of debates, and when you're in a debate with somebody who is a believer, believes in god or even believes that jesus is the son of god, how do you -- can you respect somebody who believes that? i mean, do you think that they're stupid? >> guest: no, i don't think -- i mean, i've always tried to respect the individual people whether or not i respect their beliefs. and in the case of the bishops when people who are christian but have sensible views of science, then i can even respect th

the national academy of sciences did a study on it and said, there are flaws year. why are these impulses any different than once we find over here. but dna as could not prove anything and said, this just needs more research. we questioned it but don't know the results. there was another quest to custody in 2002 that reinforced the house select committee on assassinations conclusion and increase the probability to 96%. that is where we took it. in that think once people read will we have in the kennedy half century, once they viewed the entire report by our team which we will put on our website, the kennedy half century and in this mobile app, everyone will see the truth. and here it is, there is no gun fire and all. it turns out that those four impulses are no different than a dozen other impulses at virtually the same time. what were they? they're work, we think, the rattling of the microphone on the motorcycle. and where was the policeman on the motorcycle? the select committee said that policeman was a guy named h. p. mclean, and he was right there just a few ya

came out that just beg for correlation news story number one according to a study by the national academy of sciences people in other first world countries are outliving americans we have shorter life expectancies here and that stocks researchers looked at our obesity rates are smoking diet and exercise habits are crappy health care system all of the usual suspects but they couldn't one reason for our shorter lifespan. the researchers were perplexed which brings me to story number two a new study published in molecular psychiatry found that depression can ages at a cellular level in the study researchers took blood samples from depressed and happy people and studied the ends of their chromosomes for telomeres measuring telomere length is a way of assessing aging the shorter the telomere is the older aboard the credit and closer to dying this fellow is the study found that the depressed people had shorter telomeres than the happy people more over the shorter telomeres could be explained by other factors like smoking or diet depression was the only identifiable negative factor in the study in other wor

. >> i assume most of you are familiar with the national academy of science report on foreign sick use of this kind of stuff. >> several reports. speaker1: that judge edwards shared as i understand it simplistically says dna is the only area of science that we have a lot of confidence in and the other scary depending upon which one. what are your thoughts about that reporting the fact that generally the judicial system is ignored? >> who wants to take that on? >> i will at least start on that question. i think it's probably fair to say i don't know my fellow panelist opinion but i think it's fair to say dna evidence in part because it's relatively recent and it lends itself well to quantitative analysis is probably the best scientifically supported forensic evidence. that does not mean it's perfect and that does not mean other forms of forensic science, forensic evidence are so imperfect that they shouldn't be used but i think the consensus is dna evidence is scientifically in general quite well supported and that is one reason why it's been generally well accepted. >> other kinds of s

just released a report saying it's going to be really cold, i think it's the european academy of sciences -- the national research council in america says there will be no more cold winters and the pine beetle will destroy the forests because they're not killed off. every weather event is a proof of global warming and facts don't get in the way. facts in front of your eyes, two feet of snow, doesn't -- >> you're right -- >> that globe warming is not happening. >> i remember quite distinctly to your earlier point about the forecast that in future winters would we would be rung -- running around in our bathing suits. now the stuff we're seeing now is part of global warming in a way to justify this so they can kind of have their snowy cake and eat it too. >> there's a famous article on the front panel of the independent newspaper in how to 2000 that children would have to put their sleds away no more sledding for children. they wouldn't know what snow is. i have been in winters in the uk, let me tell you these last few years are they know what snow is. we know what snow is here in the u.s. but then again, j

waxman: i rise as a member of the safe climate caucus to call attention to a new report from the nation's premiere scientific body, the national academy of sciences. we typically associate climate change with gradual, longer term problems. according to the academy, climate change could also pose a risk of rapid hard to predict environmental changes that have the potential to cause widespread damage in the near term. the report warns that the collapse of the polar sea ice could send sea levels soaring. the destruction of the coral reefs could cause mass extinction of sea life, the elimination of summer sea ice in the arctic could alter the world's weather patterns. these tipping points could happen suddenly. it's reckless to do nothing in face of these threats. if there is a 10% chance that these threats would happen, it's irresponsible for us to ignore it. dr. richard alley, one of the authors said, you can't see it coming. you can't prepare for it. congress is irresponsible if we don't take this issue seriously. to pass on our planet worthy of our children and grandchildren's future. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. . t
