    So, you've looked at the figures from Mauna Lua and can point to the moments where CO2 from the volcano clearly distorted the signal.

    Or you have an explanation for how the curve is nice and smooth - maybe Manua Lua is emitting more CO2 over time?

    Maybe you have an explanation for why the curves from other stations are more or less exactly the same as Manua Lua?

    Where is the straw?

    They were just hiding data that didn't agree with their conclusions.

    Writing peer-reviewed papers in published journals is a pretty poor way of "hiding data".

    The data which they "hid" by telling the world about didn't "disagree with their conclusions".

    You see, just to keep the right wing nut-jobs happy a market based solution was invented (one that had already worked for similar problems).

    But that was based on the false idea that the right wing nut-jobs wanted a solution, so it failed.

    We're probably going to get carbon taxes because of that.

    Please watch the video I link to in my sig. It has a very nice man who explains to you why the right wing must get its head out of its arse as quickly as possible.

    Where is the evidence for this claim? Need I remind you that no one has actually measured temperatures directly during the Medieval Optimum?

    So the grandparent's claim (that there is nothing to worry about, since it was warmer then and nothing happened) is utterly baseless, then?

    Denialism is obviously a quantum effect - we know the MO was warmer and simultaneously we don't know what the temperature was.

    In order to collapse the wave function we need an observer, and the denialists are dont seem tp be aware enough to count.

    Nobody "hid" anything - they found that the most recent tree ring data didn't match the temperature data as well as the earlier tree ring data did. They wrote papers about it. It was a well known problem.

    The tree ring data isn't invalid, it just has its limits.

    Recall one of the many dramas of climategate was the private discussion of the discarding of tree ring data from after 1960 precisely because it failed as a temperature proxy.

    "Private discussion"? People wrote fucking papers about it. Jacoby 1995 and Briffa 1998 for example.

    Aha, some numbers.

    DDT is mostly made in India. and China.

    India produces around 4500 metric tonnes a year. China makes similar amounts, but uses most of it "in the production of Dicofol, an acaricide"

    An estimated 5,000 metric tons of DDT (active ingredient) was used for disease vector control in 2005. The primary use is for malaria control, but approximately 1,000 metric tons/year (20% of global consumption) is used for control of visceral leishmaniasis restricted to India.

    Your worries about the price due to the lack of a US market seem to be unconfirmed.

    Even PGP isn't sufficient, since it doesn't protect key portions of the mail (To:, From:, Subject:, message length, etc) from observation.

    Well, yes and no.

    It is possible to use rfc822 leaving most of the headers absent (some things will get filled in in flight - "Received" for example).

    The SMTP (rfc821) "envelope" information has to be available to the MTA at least temporarily (MAIL FROM and RCPT TO). It can be protected in flight by TLS and the provider has no need to save it.

    If you receive normal email through SMTP, the provider must be able to read the email as it arrives

    No, just the RFC821 envelope information, not th RFC822 header or body information.

    I.E. a mail exchange could look like:

    MAIL FROM:<redacted>
    RCPT TO:<this has to be in clear, sorry>
    DATA
    Mime-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: application/x-nsa-suck-my-donkey-balls
