    But explosions are not uniform. If anything, they are chunky. They are not instantionus. The wavefront takes time to initiate, form and travel. Therefore not uniform.

  2. Re: Transparent? on The Royal Society Proposes First Framework For Climate Engineering Experiments · · Score: 1

    What thirty years? I seem to remember the way, prior to your memory, all scientists were worried about the coming ice age, with the coming droughts. Because of the coming low cycle in the sun, something about fewer sunspots transferring less energy to the earth. Less energy, weaker magnetic poles allowing more interstellar rays in, creating more high clouds, reflecting more, you know, sunlight. Weakening our poles, etc. Polar vortices anyone?

    But once started? Where do you go till the mistakes are rectified? Are " you" just going to allow millions of people to die just because you forgot to convert from imperial? It sounds so. What's wrong with a cyclic world as it is?

    It's called "keeping the masses busy", keep them occupied, make consumers of the people. Makes them not want to revolt because of the corrupted government.

    Asides from waking up, you should have mentioned, the cost of backup generators. The sun don't shine everyday, the wind don't blow every day, the load varies every day. Every one needs cheap available power every day.

    Here's an interesting concept. Who is Isis? I mean who is the money behind them? I've read all the news about them, but one caliph starts a revolution? Right. One man, as a revolutionary is usually a marter. So there are 2-3 or more, who need money to support them. Who supports them and their idea? Who is standing behind the throne directing the killing? Their platform is "educated" by the standards of dictatorship, lack of freedom of the others, seems English/capitalistic in origin, so an offshoot from the bringers of ww1?

    I can call B.S. they have been trying to cut the train crew since they did away with coal, shucks even before that some of the one train on the track outfits only had a brakeman, but they soon went back to a two man crew, just to have a head up for the end of the track. Check out the story of the general, or go back to the accounts of wartime train engineers. But stop blaming unions for you stupidity. Not enough method in your diet.

    So in effect they, ms, are the internet judge of porn? The tubes judge of morality? And censor. they didn't guit business, or send themselves to jail for handling the porn. Gee, I thought all communications was needing a court order, to intercept, and determine what is in it. And same with wireless communications. When did it change, and why are we not hearing the otherside of the story. Hate to defend porn, but this is big brother time, and we americans lost another right. Better start opening the gulags.

    Wrong, food is recently expensive. No longer are every other peon following a horse or mule. Now some have time for intellectual pursuits. Like Dilbert.

    But cutting a hose leaves a mark, traceable. A paper circuit, a hack, a corrupted code doesn't. Both leave the brakes not working at the "worst/inopportune/correct" time. Get the Jon done, but if the car doesn't burn our mangle enough, there is visable evidence of a crime. Conjecture? Or fact, now provable to the court? But its getting closer.

    Personally, I'm interested. But like hacking, their are two colors of hats, just like the the possibilities of a car remotely controlled to hurt/kill someone. And so I still wonder why? And where I live the reason someone steals a car, is to go somewhere. They,the crook left them unharmed, he needed a ride. The next was insurance to get a next better ride.

  15. Now, reverse your theory,is the rule of quote science quote, a better possibility? Or are they wrong at times,also. Like a proposed theory, wrongly stated? Or wrong. Politicians of another culture, politicians divorced from the realities of life? To be in charge? That's wrong also, not better. So what's wrong with politics? Wrong people in power? America has a solution for that. The revolution happens happily every two years. No guns, no bloodshed, just tears for the loser. And I hope the koch bros lose this year...the american people need a win for a change.

    Sorry you think so, I thought the data for major population centers, where the churches, and the arts were taught, went back to the 1600's. Some earlier even. But then if you are going off datasets, I thought the MWP was a full three degrees warmer then the 1990's. Which were warmer then now. And there were warmer periods prior to that. So, I'll go back to the SciFi channel and watch sharknado 2 and scream over the destruction of the world.

Mann was working on a government grant, with the permissions of his employer, a state college, also a government entity. He produced a product that has been called flawed.

People, including other scientists, are asking the what and where of his research, he won"t release that research, or the emails related to the research where his basic tenant started to deviate. Or the databases used, or program that says your CO2 is the problem. But your shipping our jobs to 3rd world countries is now " solving" the problem. He he he!.

    Try finding a clean swimming place overseas. Try finding something to drink in the backwoods even in america. You have to be careful especially in america, you aren't as immune as the the third world is. The clean water let's you live longer but at a price that you had to adapt to. You system, will not protect you from the worms, the illnesses or the problems of ingested poisions available to the rest of the world. We survive on shit free ponds, with filtered and semifreash, they thrive on the blue stream,the brown to black infested water where uthey get a days worth of protein with every swallow.

    Au contrair Mon fear. Colonization a white person invention? That's racist. Colonization was a Arab ormesopitian proclivity, as well, even Egyptians practiced it. As far back as we can see, it was practiced. Each race,each city group, each family or clan practiced it. I know you are referring only to the English version of it, but the baddest ass of every group practiced colonization, taking over the next territory, or clan to improve their livelihood or survival ability. So back to your little ivory tower and spew more claptrap.

    But the crysosat data missed lake superior. They had to look there by a standard photo sat. Record ice. Why, or is the data filtered to present a viewpoint? Why? Canadians were late getting their breaker out, to the saint Lawrence, why? Ice in the harbor? And had to use their ocean branch to break in first, not enough warming there? Or did they believe the hype, instead of being prepared like usual. Alarmist crap means more problems, not being prepared for tomorrow.

    Its not the warming water I'm nervous about, its the frozen water expansion. Try growing something on ice. Generally polar bears do good then,but humans have a hard time with limited food production. Meaning less education, and more warfare over limited resources. Warm,means education, production, and resources available, more life. More diversity.
