New Climate Change Warning
sebFlyte writes "A new grid computing climate research project, climateprediction.net, has come up with its first major results, and they're really not good news for the planet according to the BBC. The simulations suggest that over the next hundred years we could see average rises of average temperatures of up to 11K, more than twice what was previously thought."
11K? 11000 degree rise? 11 Kelvin increase? The temperature will be 11K?
Someday people are going to feel awfully silly that they were worrying about terrorism instead of the warning signs of ecological degeneration.
Don't worry, Dubya and Rumsfeld will be dead before ecological degeneration gets real bad.
24 beers in a case, 24 hours in a day. Coincidence? I think not!
well, then we have people who say greenhouse gases will cool the planet down (preventing the suns rays from going far enough to the planet to warm it) thus i would think less greenhouse gasses, less ozone, more sunglight, and more water (less ice) would lead to global warming logically so that would mean greenhouse gases arn't the problem, they in fact help fix it, it's the gasses that deplete our ozone layer that are the problem...
Arbitrary? Celsius has just a significant starting point as Kelvin.
In one case, we're looking at absolute zero.
In the other, we're looking at the freezing/melting point of water.
Hell, celcius was based on water. Why do you think water melts/freezes at 0 and evaporates/condenses at 100? Pure chance??
