Where does the phrase, "High Noon" come from?

What is the logic behind that phraseology?

What are some of the nuances related to that phrase?

I dont really like the "in geological time" argument. I wont be around then. however, i do have serious issues with bad science and all I have seen from the AGW crowd is really poor science and even worse hyperbole they pull out of it.

physics says CO2 causes mild warming. Not one shred of evidence suggests that mild warming will cause forcing that leads to extreme warming.

Don't believe so.

Either way, my point was that we are not going to drastically change the earth's atmosphere that much. It will happen fairly naturally, much like it has in the past.

Great website. Anthony Watts exposes the crackpot claims of warmistas.

Fear.
You have fear of extinction of poley bears
Fear of sea level rises.
Fear of super storms.
Fear of droughts
Fear of flooding.
Fear of ocean acidification.
Fear of bovine flatulence

The state of Texas today sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a federal appeals court in Washington DC, claiming four new regulations imposed by the EPA are based on the 'thoroughly discredited' findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and are 'factually flawed,' 1200 WOAI news reports.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott says the rules are illegal and if imposed, will cost Texans in higher energy costs and tens of thousands of lost jobs.

See ya in court. Prove the tiny amount in the atmopsphere of CO2 is from humans.

Superstition will need to be defended.

Ask Gary Cooper. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044706/

In the film, the local Marshall (played by Cooper) faces a show down with some bad guys who will arrive in town on the train that arrives at noon on a particular day.

The Marshall attempts to organize a posse to confront the bad guys but no one wants to "get involved." The Marshall stands alone. The clock is ticking.

Sean Connery plays a "Marshall" on a space mining colony in an interesting remake of the the original film. Connery's film was called "Outland" and only rates a solid "B" in the sci-fi genre; but it was an interesting concept.

I don't know about the usage here, but the phrase "High Noon" usually is used to refer to a show down or confrontation of some sort. If they want to be true to the movie, then we need to have a "Marshall" character who is battling the urge to run and hide while also trying to find support from the reluctant "town's people." The "Marshall" ultimately stands his ground on principle - AND he finds support and help from unlikely sources. There is a sort of redemption for those who stand on principle, in the end.
