Maybe it's because the Military uses boat-loads of fossil fuel during it's operations, especially naval, air and air-mobile ops. Still it seems hookey to include military ops as a subsidy for FF industry. It also seems that organizations coming from a political or an advocacy point of view play fast and loose with the definition of subsidy.
Digital computers don't do very well with fuzzy data, very like data to be accurate and in discrete steps; so computer models on digital computers start life with some very real handicaps. Minute errors tend to propagate and magnify in iterative digital calculations. Analog computers on the other hand don't mind fuzzy data and are continuous. What would really impress me is to set-up a GCM on an analog computer.
Well we're doing that now, we buy an acre of forest from the Amazonian indians for $ 3.00 and then sell the carbon credits for $2,034.00, a 678% profit! The WWF owns $60,000,000,000 in Amazon forest carbon credits, all bought with donated money.
First of all it depends on the exact definition of boil, water is usually a complex and variable mixture of the chemical water, dissolved atmospheric gases and minerals, all of which effect its boiling point, aerated water usually begins to boil in the neighborhood of 165 F and fractionates until the boiling point of pure water is achieved; Secondly the stove will heat the pot at variable rates due to fluctuations in the gas pressure or voltage suppling the energy to the stove; Thirdly environmental air movements will cause fluctuations in the pot's experienced air pressure and humidity; so any prediction of "exactly when the pan will boil " is doomed to failure, even pretty close to "when the pan will boil " is much more difficult than most people would estimate. If you were to use the "exactly when the pan will boil " of one pan to time the start of the next, you'll be "out of the ballpark" before very many iterations.
Cuba is what about 70 miles from Florida, and Russia is 50 miles from Alaska, 3 miles if you measure by the Aleutian Islands. I'd think that the Cuban Missile Crisis was about the definite possibility of sudden air bombardment.
"Saying god created Fags is about as rediculous as claiming what he likes or hates." I thought God created everyone and everything, being gay or not isn't a choice, it's a state of being, and primarily genetically determined; so yes God created the fags. Even at that, I've never found or have been shown where God even cares about homosexuality other than two men have sex is forbidden.
I assumed that "Gods hates Fags" made as much sense as "God Hates Jedi", well actually a lot less sense. If our "all-knowing" and "all-powerful" God really hated fags so much, why did he make them? The Westboro whackos seems to think that god is obsessed with hating gays and pretty much everyone else that doesn't behave in strict accordance the Mosaic laws of the old testament; saying God hates Jedi is the ridiculous logical extension of that logic; and therefore ridicules the Westboro Baptist Church's dogma.
"Our work, when extended from cancer radiotherapy to general diagnostic imaging, may provide a unique solution to solve this problem by reducing the CT dose per scan by a factor of 10 or more," says Jiang. It's probably applicable to diagnostic cone beam scans, which are the hot item in implant dentistry. The reason it's first applied to therapy scans is because the tissue surrounding the tumor suffers radiation from scattering of the therapeutic beam, making dosage reduction highly desirable.
I've never heard of a small turbo diesel running on gasoline at all, but large turbo diesels like the LDT 465 engine, an in-line, 478 cu. in., 6 cylinder, turbocharged multifuel engine with 134 bhp (100 kW) and 330 ftlbf (447 Nm) of torque found in the M35A2 would run not to bad if you added a quart of engine oil to every 5 gallon of gasoline to keep the injector pump lubricated.
What would be interesting would be to make the signatories to whom the restrictions don't apply a different color and the signatories to whom the restrictions apply but don't have a snowball's chance in hell of obtaining an additional color.
It's not a huge problem, granted, since the grid monkeys actually balancing the load and phase know very well that the headlines and the big visible turbines are just a sop to keep you gullible Ecomentals happy while they get on with building the gas and coal plants that actually keep you alive.
I remember seeing articles that stated that Germany is actually having to build new coal fired plants because of the wind farms they've installed. No one really knows who is talking, and anyone who does know isn't, about how much wind turbines actually produce compared to their real world parasitic loses either.
OK you've lost me, how does my carbon footprint in North America effect whether billions of Nepalese, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Chinese and Hindustanis cook their food over a sootykerosene fire, or ride around on smoky 2-cycle mopeds?
Spencer thinks it more likely 1 degree is more likely,
The slope of 3.66 Watts per sq. meter per degree corresponds to weakly negative net feedback. If this corresponded to the feedback operating in response to increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, then doubling of atmosphere CO2 (2XCO2) would cause only 1 deg. C of warming. This is below the 1.5 deg. C lower limit the IPCC is 90% sure the climate sensitivity will not be below. Revisiting the Pinatubo Eruption as a Test of Climate Sensitivity
even the IPCC is 90% sure the climate sensitivity will not be below 1.5 deg. C.
Not really, most of the lower troposphere is heated by conduction and radiation from the surface. The shortwave, (visible) light penetrates the atmosphere, is absorbed by the ground and the ocean surface and re-radiated upward as infrared. Also air conduction and water vapor evaporation lift a great deal of heat energy from the surface into the troposphere; some theorize that the water vapor's hydrological cycle places an upper limit on how warm the Earth will get.
Actually, the Antarctic ice cap is losing volume, even though it is gaining surface area. The Arctic ice cap is losing both volume and area. Greenland ice is also losing volume.
Would that be the part on land or the part floating over the sub-sea volcanic fissures?
That's basically what happened, a file name FOI something or an other was placed on a non-password protected, world readable FTP directory and was downloaded and passed along to a person who had been making FOI requests for the data on the server and more. Some how everybody in the MSM started called the data that was released to the requester, that the original holder was legally required to provide, stolen.
No, the Data the CRU used is not available, a superset of the data is available, but that isn't the same because no one has the subset actually used. The exact methods used to quality control and homogenize the data is also gone. If the CRU lost its dataset, even they could not reconstruct it.
Obviously your not a stock broker. If you are sending or receiving email from a work, academic or government computer or network you had better assume each and every email is viewed and stored by your worst enemy. The only way to get any degree of privacy in Email is to use strong encryption and Tor.
Show the data to other climatologists and let them confirm or refute the conclusion.
Hell show it to Physicists, Statisticians, Mathematicians, Chaosmaticians, Meteorologists, Econometricians, Computer Scientists, Infomaticians; if the science is as robust as they think, it'll only strengthen.

You sir, have made too much sense for this forum and especially in the forum on this topic.
I thought the rule of thumb at the time is salt was worth an equal weight of gold, which make the idea of salting the earth a bit far fetched.

If you can hit a mortar round in mid-flight, you can hit just about anything.

Al Gore doesn't seem worried enough about it, he just bought a condo 3 feet above sealevel.

Actually it doesn't matter how well any one extractor works as they can easily be interconnected in series for multistage operation as described by Continuous Liquid-Liquid Extraction Via an Improved Centrifugal Contactor; you could even power the thing with a SEADOG pump/generator.
