The global warming believers - when they're not gibbering on about homeopathy and astrology - will go on at length about how over the past decade we've seen record high temperatures in summer.
Care full there,
The American Journal of Homeopathic Medicine (AJHM) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, specifically intended to meet the needs of physicians involved in the specialty of homeopathyAmerican Journal of Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy is a settled, peer reviewed science too.
We're not talking about Aspergers, the highest-functioning and probably most abused disability diagnosis aside of ADD (shit, I feel ADD right now. Can I get some Adderall and have an extra 4 hours to take that test? It's the new affirmative action! ) -- Ethanol-fueled
From the actual paper "At 24 months, 28 infants met criteria for ASDs and 64 infants did not.", so yes we are talking about Asperger's, PDD-NOS and HFA because thats what ASD means, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, the whole ball of wax .
There really is a big difference between documents required to be released under FOIA requests which is stonewalled and subsequently placed in a publicly searchable FTP server without password protection in a directory labeled FOIA after being produced by persons on the public payroll, to documents being acquired under false pretenses from a private organization.
Honestly I thought it was some shit-for-brains script-kiddie that made the forged Strategy Document considering the horrendous grammar used. I'd also hoped that someone with three letters after their name would have had enough sense to edit the document's meta-data enough so that it was at least plausible the forgery was authentic!
For $10K you would think the answer would be to hard code the customer's Logo and info into each custom build; at least that way the company that leaked the program would be known.
Software is like Drugs, the average cost is much higher than the marginal cost; i.e. the cost of the research and development averaged into production costs is much higher than the difference in cost between make 100 verses 101 units
. It is bogus to say "Christians believe in X, and Buddhist believe in Y, while Muslims believe in Z." Distinct individual agents are constantly reinventing their interpretation of their religious experience.
For the most part Christians don't know what they believe, for example that Hell thing isn't in the Bible. They say they believe in One God then turn around and deify Satan (that fits Islam too). The Christ himself hung around with Whores, Divorcee, Tax-collectors and people who were consider the scum of the Earth types of their time.
You can run them at any temperature you want, it's nuclear, gamma has a color temperature of around 35 million degrees so that's the theoretical max. As far as temp diff of 50F goes there are sterling engine that will run quite happily with that delta T your just not going to get a lot of power out one, but if you put a boat-load in parallel it's a different story.
In the USA, sbusidies include the Price-Anderson act (which provides subsidized insurance) and the Cheney energy policy of 2005 (which provides per-kilowatt incentives and removes requirements for set-aside of decommissioning costs).
Distributed power is how our grid should be set up. Also, being self-contained, these would allow us to put them closer to the actual users and cut transmission losses and costs. Why the hell aren't we doing it yet?
Niagara Falls NY has hydroelectric power, ConEd in NYC needs electricity so what are you going to do? Beside there is a sweet-spot, the infra-structure costs, things likes High-voltage transformers, circuit breaker at the sub-station, the availability of transmission line or the cost of installing same all have to be balanced into the equation. A friend of mine is a power station operator at a local paper company, they burn lignin waste from the pulping process, they have to hook up to the utility for back-up power and the cost of leasing the sub-station to maintaining the connection is significantly the same as buying the power from the utility. The only reason they even burn the lignin rather than haul it to the landfill is because of a tax credit.
No they are taking the world of a 4 year old girl's mother, who wishes to "remain anonymous", got a note and a bill for $1.25 for a lunch foisted on her daughter against her (the Mother) will.. Its probably a Hoax, just like the Heartland Strategy Document was a hoax. It's an election year, all the wackos will be out in force with everything from outright hoaxes, gross exaggerations, to selective uncomplimentary sound-bites. It only gets worse from her on, be skeptical and think critically and just enjoy the show.
WTF? You think there are only 77 active climatologists in the world?
The objective of our study presented here is to assess the scientific consensus on climate change through an unbiased survey of a large and broad group of Earth scientists. An invitation to participate in the survey was sent to 10,257 Earth scientists.... 1. When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant? 2. Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?...
With 3146 individuals completing the survey, the participant response rate for the survey was 30.7%. This is a typical response rate for Web-based surveys... More than 90% of participants had Ph.D.s, and 7% had master’s degrees. With survey participants asked to select a single category, the most common areas of expertise reported were geochemistry (15.5%), geophysics (12%), and oceanography (10.5%). General geology, hydrology/hydrogeology, and paleontology each accounted for 5–7% of the total respondents. Approximately 5% of the respondents were climate scientists and 8.5% of the respondents indicated that more than 50% of their peer-reviewed publications in the past 5 years have been on the subject of climate change... In our survey, the most specialized and knowledgeable respondents (with regard to climate change) are those who listed climate science as their area of expertise and who also have published ore than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change (79 individuals in total). Of these specialists, 96.2% (76 of 79) answered risen” to question 1 and 97.4% (75 of 77) answered yes to question 2. Examining the Scientific Consensus on Climate Change
Kind of puts the notion of a 97% Scientific Consensus into a new light, Climatology has only been around for a decade or so as a science, where most other sciences a millennium or two. In the scheme of things science wise they are still well into the alchemy/astrology phase of their science.
I realize that it's easier to attack Al Gore-style claims, but perhaps you should actually read what the scientists say, rather than what you seem to think they say.
I keep trying to but it's always behind a paywall, so I'm really stuck with either journalist that in all reality don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and paid propagandists. Your basically trying to convince me to significantly change my life-style, but you want me to pay to see what your argument actually is even after I paid for the research to be done with my tax money. As the "Unprecedented" warming coincides so well with the "Great Dying of Thermometers". Ice cores have that odd cause and effect inversion, where the CO2 increases half a millennium after the temperature increase it caused, not unlike the dissolution of Resublimated Thiotimoline before the water is added so even that isn't that supportive of the "Unprecedented" part of the warming and let's face it the dendrochronology proxy for temperature is about as accurate as extispicy or crystallomancy. Not to mention that warming as a continuing trend isn't looking so certain either
Probably wouldn't make any difference, Microsoft has never been overly concerned with image they've been known as Micro$oft and "Evil Empire and worse for decades.and that $61K is probably a lot less than what BP sends to CRU. Now if it were Apple, there would be a strong reaction as their core clientele is much more liberal/artsie than Microsoft's Business core clientele.
With, what, 74 out of 77 of Active Climatologists in agreement with AGW, it's not enough for you to be just skeptical. You need to hold your side up to the same impossibly high standards you have set for AGW, eh? We all await your "incontrivertable facts" supporting your "skepticism". What's that? You don't have them? Sounds like denial to me.

No a Consensus in science is when a field of science has ossified into a dogmatic religion.

Lack of empathy that your displaying is also a frequent symptom of autism.

No Facebook says they require your real name, even at that a first name and an initial, or an initial and a middle name are still real names.

I'm pretty pro-nuclear but not setting aside decommissioning expenses is a Bad-Thing(Tm), it should have been required for wind turbines as well given that End of tax credit a blow for wind power industry Up to 37,000 jobs, many in Illinois, could be lost as projects are halted or abandoned and there are already some 14,000 abandoned wind turbines.

Nothing wrong with organic vodka, it's just that vodka is distilled so any difference between the two is just marketing hype.

Sort of like the Antithesis of David Suzuki, at least when he's (Suzuki) not blogging about "Organic" vodka.

Holy fuck, you could almost feel that impact from one proton.
