They are already using wax based 3D printers for partial denture metal frameworks as cutting edge production and laser sintered metal powder on the bleeding edge. Those frameworks have to be accurate to a few 10,000ths of an inch. Crowns are being milled from semi-sintered zirconia to an accuracy of 40 microns and that's after the zirconia shrinks 25% during final sintering.
Agree. Even if you do it with depleted uranium, and you suppose the "virtual electron effect" increases in proportional to the square of the number of protons in the nucleus, you might get an index of refraction in the ballpark of n = 1.000000033. Applying the lensmaker's formula, a convex lens with radii of curvature of 1 cm will have a focal length of....
150 kilometers.
Well first they can get much smaller radii of curvature using the good old fashioned fresnel lens technology; with photolithographic fabrication the could not only get the lens radii of curvature down into the micrometer range they could stack hundreds or thousands into a lens system only a cm thick and only expend trivial effort.
Well I have my doubts as well, but it doesn't make much sense to use the actions of illiterate Goat Herders whose culture is stuck in the 13th century as proof one way or the other.
Heartland Inst. did that to themselves with those moronic billboards; even Anthony Watts over at WUWT, has been raking them over the coals for that little stunt. OBTW that billboard was taken down 3 days ago after a 24 hr run.
The vast majority of those "SCIENTISTS" who call themselves climatologists haven't measured anything since Freshman Physics labs; measuring is grunt work.
The Bible doesn't say anything in regards to whether the solar system is heliocentric or geocentric; actually when you consider Special Relativity, the observable universe is geocentric anyways.
If you approach it from the standpoint that there's possibly "some sort of global scarcity" tactic where every single scientist is somehow involved in a secret cabal, then I'm not sure any evidence one way or the other is going to swing it. I mean, in that situation any evidence that supports you is "proof of the conspiracy!!!" and any that doesn't is "part of the conspiracy of lies".
How about more along the lines of a "Good ol' Boy" network with lots of groupthink and tribalism.
In Hawaii, on Oahu I saw a Informational sign that stated that The Earth has 13 different climates, and eleven of them could be found in Hawaii and a map showing 8 of them within walking distance of the sign.
More than likely, My Uncle had a beef farm across the street Hyot's cherry orchard had erected a large windmill like fan specifically to combat frost. Sweet cherry trees blossom early and a frost can really clobber a crop. Last month I was planting a cherry tree in the garden, it was 75F and the tree was in full bloom and crawling with honey bees, two days later hard frost wiped out all of the blossoms; I'm in SE Michigan.
Why is NASA poking it's nose into this? Does this has anything to do with Aeronautics or Space? Maybe if NASA was more restrictive about mission creep we wouldn't be hitch-hiking into space with the Russians. At best NASA should be acting as a contractor launching a satellite or two for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. If they have enough resources to bully their way into other Agencies areas of responsibility, maybe they have too many.
The basic premise is CO2 scatters the outgoing Infrared photons and retards the heat loss, the amount of this is called climate sensitivity. The incoming visible light isn't impeded except by clouds, is absorbed by the ground and radiated as infrared and reflected from the ground as visible light. Climate sensitivity is logarithmic, each doubling of atmospheric CO2 causes a temperature increase of between 1.2 - 2.4 degrees C, if your a skeptic you accept the 1.2-1.4 as it agrees with empirical data, an alarmist you go to the 2.2-2.4; either way it isn't anywhere near enough to be the apocalyptic catastrophe. To get to the apocalypse, the slight amount of warming caused by the CO2 has to increase the water vapor in the atmosphere, water is a very strong GH gas, and that gas has to stay a gas and not condense into clouds which is very likely to cool the planet both through pumping the heat up past most of the CO2, and through reflecting sunlight as clouds.
1. False. Clean fusion power is the holy grail of the "green" movement. Ad hominem/poisoning the well.
Fusion isn't "clean" see Neutron Activation a big part of the cost and difficulty in decommissioning a fission power reactor is due to neutron activation.
The warming of the last decade and a half hasn't been shown to exist in any measurements except adjusted surface station records, nobody has ever presented me with a compelling argument that our current warming isn't an artifact of the adjustments.
He cites the SSH as a bad example of the U.S. cutting funding, but to me that's actually one of the better examples of other countries picking up the ball. Would CERN still have funded the LHC in 1995 if the U.S. hadn't cancelled the SHH in 1993? Maybe, but I tend to doubt it. And to me CERN is an excellent model of countries pooling their resources, rather than relying on one actor to foot the entire bill.
In the early 1980s the US began plans for the Superconducting Super Collider, or SSC, which would accelerate protons to 20 TeV, three times the maximum energy that will be available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.... Even so, the SSC met all technical challenges, and could have been completed for about what has been spent on the LHC, and completed a decade earlier.
LHC cost the same to build, and will need to run 30% longer to get the same results, assuming that LHC even gets up to speed.
Indeed it doesn't seem to indicate much at all as regards what mothers should eat today. I know two vegan mums and their (vegan) kids weaned off early and are very bright, healthy little 5 and 9 year old kids.
You really can't compare a well educated Vegan, who's diet is a balance of wheat, legumes, and corn to provide all essential amino-acids for protein synthesis, who also eats a diverse group of vegetables and fruits from all over the world to provide all essential vitamins and minerals to prehistoric people. personally I'm too lazy to eat like that.
That's normally considered an illegal wiretap, now when the answering machine says "This call maybe monitored for quality control purposes" I hang up and call back with the recorder running so I have a recording of them giving me permission to monitor, electronically, with my recorder; check with your lawyer in your jurisdiction.

No the bad Idea is putting anything on facebook that you wouldn't announce before the entire student body and faculty.

Climate itself (at least the temperature part of it) is simply an energy balance equation.
you mean like dT/dt= rT (1-T/K) ?
Which INCLUDES proved effort to discredit science in the class room.
I think you have a little bit of gleick dribbling out of the corner of your mouth.
Weather is an instance of climate, if Weather is chaotic, then Climate is chaotic.

Since it costs $2 million to defend one of these cases, seems like sooner or later somebody is just going to hire a hit, it has to be cheaper.
