Funny, I've heard of a lot of computer simulations, all predictting dire global warming due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere, but I've never heard of a simulation of what might happen if we actually managed to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere. Everybody assumes that if CO2 is predicted to cause continued warming, then reductions would cause cooling. but has anybody checked it out? Perhaps we can't get there from here!
This July's record heat is only 0.2 degrees higher then the previous record. Let's not blow things out of proportion. (Unless you think the record set in the 1930s is indicative of global warming too?)
Yeah, the new records they set in the Olympics were only milliseconds faster.
Since the stopwatches only have tenth of a second resolution, we have to average the results of a 100 timers to get to milliseconds.

Caffeine is a delicate organic compound, the more you heat the tea or coffee the more you destroy the caffine, such as the green tea having 1.5 - 2 times as much caffeine as the more heavily process green tea; an Espresso has almost the same to half a regular coffee, despite being made from the near same amount of coffee grounds.
why worry? Arctic Ocean is predicted to be "nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012 per NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally; just one month to go. The change in albedo will trigger therma-geddon and it Hasta la vista, baby, so smok'em if you got'em.
Only 3 Authors? One would think when the "Grand 'ol High Preist" of Apocalyptic Global Warming wrote a paper that the supplicants would be lined up awaiting consideration as co-authors. Maybe it's the problems, like how they completely omitted temperatures from the warmer 1930's by limiting his data to 1955-1999, or how it's only on land temperatures and then only northern hemisphere land temperatures. I do give Dr. Hansen major props for the data visualization, the animations are very slick.
The release from NASA is public domain, when Scripps claimed exclusive rights they deprived "We the People" of our property without valuable consideration, so have at it.
Actually I was thinking along the same lines, IANAL but it occurred to me that Copyright law gives entities the right to control the copying of a work, a false take-down notice infringes on the copyright holder's right to control the distribution of a work, and since NASA is a US government agency it does not hold the copyright but passes it to the public domain, or to "We The People". Perhaps we should fine a good shyster and have him file a class action against scripts for infringing on the copyright of "We The People", a quarter of a million dollars times 300 million people, should get their attention.
When I was is 5th grade, Tony used to eat earth worms, slurped them down like a speghetti noodles. The rational side of my brain says that eating earthworms isn't any different than oysters or clams, even with my adventurous palette, I just can't bring myself to test it out. I'm sure that if I had not eaten in a couple three or four days, Earthworms would rate up there with escargo and spam.
The funny thing about using some field corn for ethanol production is that the residual D.D.G., distiller's dried grain, is still high quality cattle feed.
Picking the right stuff is pretty easy, just include a mix of legumes (beans) , corn, and wheat and that keeps your essential amino acids provided; if your mix in some dairy and eggs it's pretty much trivial. Just don't expect me to give up my meat.
Replace that number of fixed-wing aircraft with remotely piloted alternatives would take shit-piles of bandwidth we don't have. The meatsacks are likely to remain in the driver's seat for a while yet.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the problem isn't that the sound takes longer to reach the farthest lane, but that the sound it self changes so it takes longer for the athletes brain to recognize; perhaps the slope of the waveforms attack front is degrades multi-path distortion just pops in my head.
I'm honestly starting to think either the original Rei sold her account or it was hacked and stolen. While I frequently disagreed with her politics, she was always rational and intelligent and arguing with her took some effort; now not so much.
I recall something like $30K, but if that's what it takes to taint credibility, than I have to point out that the CRU has received plenty of funding from evil Oil Interests
I don't quite get how massive quantities of greenhouse gas released in the atmosphere would mysteriously lose their greenhouse effect potential at some point. How exactly is chrb's post extraordinary in its claims? Please explain.
It's not that the CO2 "mysteriously lose their greenhouse effect potential at some point", it's more that the effect of adding more CO2 diminishes logarithmically. Increasing CO2 from 195PPM to our current 390 PPM, increases the temperature 1.2K, now increasing to 780PPM warms another 1.2K; so it took adding 195 PPM to get the first 1.2K increase but 390 to get the next 1.2K increase! The next degree will take us up to a whooping 1560PPM!
Without climate feedbacks, a doubling in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration would result in a global average temperature increase of around 1.2C. Water vapor amount and clouds are probably the most important global climate feedbacks. Historical information and global climate models indicate a climate sensitivity of 1.5 to 4.5C, with a best estimate of 3C. This is an amplification of the carbon dioxide forcing by a factor of 2.5. Some studies suggest a lower climate sensitivity, but other studies indicate a sensitivity above this range. Partly because of the difficulty in modeling the cloud feedback, the true climate sensitivity remains uncertain. Runaway climate change
CO2 is at best is a bit player in climate change, water is the real driver of both weather and climate, but it's a pretty hard sell to show water as the destroyer of the eco-system.
"Global warming" has become so politically charged that it is impossible for any climate scientist to publish contradicting data.
Not so much anymore, more and more non-Hockey-Team papers are getting published, and in increasingly respected journals. The other week the TV weatherman after saying we had set a high temperature record, said that in 1936 we set 6 records in a row and to top it off, an article made the front page of/. that linked to WUWT! Times and attitudes are changing, people are increasingly seeing that AGW arguments are circular arguments, next thing you know the Australians are going to repeal the Vordermort Tax.
Since Mars has 15 times as much CO2 in it's atmosphere, it's reasonable to assume that even with half the insolation, its temperatures would be more Earth-like, if CO2 were the main driver of planetary heat retention; yet that's not the case.

0.2 degrees is less than the amount the temperatures were adjusted.
Not to worry, I just put a down payment on a rich volcanic soil coffee plantation in Iceland; take that Juan Valdez!

3 decimal points on a thermometer, you had better be carefull or people will confuse you with a climatologist.

Much simpler than Earth, we're still debating whether clouds are a positive, negative or both feedback; but the science is settled.

I just wrote on a napkin, "The world is flat". Clearly that's as good as peer-reviewed science because of Andrew Wakefield.
No, you also need a considerable hidden financial incentive for the world to be found flat, to be as good as Wakefield.

Belief: CO2 is not a greenhouse gas. Reasoning: Anthony Watts did a video of an experiment with CO2 which showed no warming effect.
That was actually an attempt to replicate Al Gore's fraudulent demonstration.
