I'm sorry but you are wrong. The rise in petrol prices DID create a CPI surge in food prices. A major consequence of this has been regular interest rate rises. If you had a mortgage you'd know this.
""Long-term variations in solar radiation at Earth's surface (S) can affect our climate, the hydrological cycle, plant photosynthesis, and solar power. Sustained decreases in S have been widely reported from about the year 1960 to 1990. Here we present an estimate of global temporal variations in S by using the longest available satellite record. We observed an overall increase in S from 1983 to 2001 at a rate of 0.16 watts per square meter (0.10%) per year; this change is a combination of a decrease until about 1990, followed by a sustained increase. The global-scale findings are consistent with recent independent satellite observations but differ in sign and magnitude from previously reported ground observations. Unlike ground stations, satellites can uniformly sample the entire globe.""
Enhanced greenhouse effect during industrial era: 2.4 W/m2. According to page 66 of the 2001 compendium of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC), about a quarter of this amount, or 0.6 W/m2, has occurred since the mid-1980s. Now 0.16 watts per square meter multiplied by 17 years equals 2.72 watts per square meter, enough to cause the observed warming!
So, it seems some smarter people than you have considered this possibility and consider it a possible explanation.
There were multiple waves of aboriginal migration into Australia. The first probably 40,000 years ago included the group that colonised Tasmania. The second wave about 15,000 years ago possibly genocidally exterminated the first wave from the mainland but there was probably also some intermixing. Modern mainland aborigines are descended from the second and later waves. There was also considerable mixing and trade between mainland populations and Indonesian, New Guinean and Melanesian fishermen, as well European contact in the west from the 1500's.
This is not a NASA study, people. It seems the submitter and the person who accepted it can't read. It's a University of Colorado study. The only NASA connection is that they used data collected by NASA, but the interpretation is the authors and has nothing to do with NASA.
Hey, I went to Tim Lambert's site and here is a quote from him: So certainly agricultural use of DDT caused some of the increase in malaria and it may have caused a major part of the increase, but the second part is unproven. Not quite the same as what you said is it?
50 years ago Europe and the US and other advanced western nations eliminated the malarial plague through use of DDT. Now we deny third world countries the same right. 50 million people a year are afflicted, 5 million a year die... mostly children. Sleep tight tonight.
The EU has threatened to ban agricultural imports from any country that allows DDT use.
To put the Gates bequest into perspective, the US already spends $200 million a year on non-pesticide methods to control malaria including anti-viral drugs and insect nets. Most of this is completely wasted.
Mother Teresa died a multi-millionaire. She treated herself to world-class medical care at top western hospitals and clinics all the while denying all but basic palliative care to those in her charge (the rest she discared to die elsewhere).
There is a cheap cure for the malaria problem, it's called DDT. EU regulations, however, penalise any government that attempts to use that solution, condeming 50 million people a year.
Since Einstein never cited anyone for their prior work, it's not surprising Einstein was not much cited in return. The reason he never received a Nobel prize for either of his mutual incompatible theories of relativity is because he stole all his ideas: from his wife and others. This was well known at the time and he was widely despised for it, except by the public. See http://home.comcast.net/~xtxinc/AEIPBook.htm for more details.
Firefox always locks up when trying to log into Wikipedia (or similar), has done in 0.9 as well, whereas plain vanilla Mozilla doesn't. So a useless fact I know is that no Firefox developer is also a Wikipedia editor.
The computerised (or electronic) spreadsheet or general ledger, with all the features we assume (cols A-Z, rows 1 - 9999, formulas, auto recalc etc.), was already common at the time VisiCalc came out in 1979. VisiCalc was just the first interactive one. How do I know? Because I was doing application support programming on them in 1978 (and the comments said the program was created in 1976... it was in Cobol).

Not according to more recent research. Try this: and do some math. More debunking debunked!

Warmest in 400 years? 400 years ago was the Little Ice Age (LIA). So things have been slowly warming up since then. What's the news?

They do. There is no difference. You are wrong.
Yes, tempfail or greylisting is very effective... if you don't mind a delay of 15 mins to an hour for first time legitimate mail.
Reason: after the first tempfail, some servers wait 15 mins (or up to an hour) before trying to resend. Of course after that it's ok, for that server.
"...speculation about how a sufficiently competent search engine could write the news itself.":
John Brunner covered this (and much more) in his 1970 sci-fi classic "Stand on Zanzibar".
