Reread my comments and look at the linked pages. They're IPCC docs, not GRID-A, and they show wrong things rather than showing models and science are right. Most Global Warming supporters only refer to the IPCC TAR Summary for Policymakers for science, although it is a political document.

The Department of Defense study does not indicate government belief in anything. It studies many things which are unlikely. It's their job to prepare for situations which are not normal, but that doesn't mean everything they study is likely. Just because they protect some electronics against a nuclear blast doesn't mean it is likely to happen soon. Just because there are guards at the Pentagon's subway station doesn't mean they think it is likely that an attacking battalion might arrive by subway.
Possibilities are not probabilities are not certainties.

It's easy in web searches to find your "right-wing" sources if you want them. Above I only linked to the popular Global Warming source, the IPCC Assessment Reports. Excuse me for pointing to the Scientific Basis volume for science information instead of the more political documents.

In fact a few years ago the temperatures weren't going up as much as the (old) models said they were and the right-wing know-nothings harped on this and said "see you nerds are wrong". Turns out that when the Pinatubo effects were included the models quite precisely matched the observations and now that the effects have washed out the climate has resumed its previous, warming trajectory.
In other words, the answers from the simulations were shown to not be right, so the simulation was changed so it again resembled reality and still produced the desired temperature increase. Because climate science doesn't know how climate works so the models don't either. Oh, and note the above link is about improvements since the SAR -- the Kyoto Protocol is based on SAR science, so is based upon those uncertainties mentioned. The above link does not refer to areas where there has been no improvement.
Now, these climate models... How well are they handling the major greenhouse gas, water vapor? How is it known the water vapor feedback model is correct? Are the models handling clouds yet? Do you think not being able to model hurricanes implies anything about the results?
And about the aerosols, well...
"the direct aerosol effect may previously have been overestimated."IPCC TAR - note the list of "evolving" (we don't know enough) and "speculative" (we don't know what it means) issues. And in "well established" items, note the problems and "significant uncertainty". Note that the definition of "well established" states that "nearly all models" or "many models" agree -- because there is not yet a good model, they are producing different results.

These researchers say the Rockies encourage cold polar air to come down across North America. This flow encourages warm air to flow up the eastern edge of the continent and off toward Europe.
Look up a map of average atmospheric pressure and you'll see high pressure over NW American continent, low in SE America, low over Iceland, and high over Azores. NW Am is due to cold polar air, SE Am is warm air including from Gulf of Mexico. The flow between Iceland and Azores is, of course, to the east, bringing the warm air from south and west. Southern cold flow over Labrador is weaker than the NW Am and its corresponding SE Am warm flow.
The Rocky Mountains reduce the flow of warm air from the Pacific, so the cold polar flow dominates. As weather flows toward the east, the cold high pressure is dominant over the American continent. This is balanced by the SE Am warm flow. A similar cold zone is over northern Asia.
The Gulf Stream theory seems to have come from an old British ocean publication.

Move the needle off the cell. If the sound stops then you know the sound wasn't coming from the surronding fluid or the tip of the microscope.
Am I missing something?
Maybe the cell or its wall is vibrating due to sound from outside the cell. The probe might not pick it up, for example the cell wall may be resonating to a certain frequency in the sounds while the probe might be too small and rigid.

It would seem obvious for the fellow to power the motor from the generator. Perhaps he figured out that it's not a good idea... because then you're feeding 3 times the power to the motor/generator, which produces 4.71 KW, which produces 14.3 KW, 42.39 KW, 127.17 KW...multiplying by 3 on each cycle.. so in 23 seconds the device is vaporized as it releases 84 MW and... it's not something to try in your little lab in Tokyo. It's something to try next to Godzilla.

Oh, and a pocket or home calculating machine.
If humans were better at sharing, we wouldn't need money in the first place.
No, we need money because it's more efficient for each person to produce a lot of a few things. There is a limit to how many chickens, bushels of soybeans, tires, and lunches one person needs.
The town grocer or utility worker needs only a few tires a year, but the tire salesman needs a lot of their products each year. The tire salesman sells a few tires a year to many people, but he can't keep and distribute an inventory of chickens, raw soybeans, restaurant coupons, stamps, office supplies, fertilizer, seeds, meat, fish, salt, guns, or ironwork.
He accepts money from customers so he can use money to buy what he needs, and the customers accept money from the people who buy their stuff. And he can save money for retirement, rather than saving enough chickens to provide for his retirement in an RV.
Too late, there already are plenty of Earth rocks on the Moon. The various asteroid impacts have splashed assorted rocks up there, some of which would have had microbes. Indeed, today I heard that NASA has pointed out that the oldest Earth rocks and fossils may be preserved on the Moon.
