It really is amazing that the older the temperature record the more likely it is to be adjusted down, to the point the authors of that paper said "The revised record is totally inconsistent with published temperature patterns"
Oh and while I didn't state this explicitly it was implied. The earth not being transparent also means it has to be high enough above the horizon to not be blocked by the earth or the buildings in the city.
The Earth isn't transparent. You need the Satellite ahead of the terminator, so it can catch the sun while still having line of sight to Chengdu, then there is second set of constraints between satellite size and height while providing light bright enough to replace street lights.
Just for reference The Russian stunt to do this produced a spot of illumination that moved at 5km/sec
Just how did this make it from story idea someplace in Chengdu to the pages of the Gaurdian or was that the Onion and finally to Slashdot without anyone asking just how the hell it's supposed to work ?
Just what orbit are they going to put it in where it can cast a 10-80 km diameter circle of illumination and be able to illuminate the city for a significant fraction of the night ?
You know the one that keeps your battery safe and stops it from exploding ?
The copper contacts ?
I suppose that I should just chalk this up to pandering infotainment, but really how hard is it to understand that if you are going to make a significant amount of anything you need to use techniques geared to making significant amounts.
It's not that easy in Europe. They have quite stringent regulations for vehicles and while bicycles are bicycles (and basically 100% unregulated for historical reasons), scooters are just as rare as Segways because they're treated basically as powered toys that are not allowed on public streets. No way. Trying the same as in SF would just get you a into big and expensive trouble in Europe. You may see single people driving around with them as long as nobody cares, but dump a shitload of them onto the streets and try to make money with them and you'll be very surprised what happens to you there.
Surprised ?? Not really. Europe is well known for countries having a model where all permissions are denied unless explicitly granted.
Are you trying to say that they were looking for intelligences other than ours before they could properly frame the concept ?
If so I have to agree but I really didn't want to go there because. It just raises minutiae about terminology. While we would call them alien, and they would call them angels or heavenly visitors we are both talking about intelligences not of the earth, and the recurring desire to explore and find the new.
People have been searching for evidence of other intelligent life in the universe pretty much as long as anyone has been able to conceive of the concept. There will undoubtedly be people looking as long as we haven't found any or ruled out their existence.
More of the same desparation. Literally the only argument left for you now is apparently "you haven't read it". When faced with overwhelming reality, deny it exists. Good plan.
Still don't have anything to back up your position ?
Just outfitted mine with an Ewheel. Seeing as the weather is almost always good in my neck of the woods and I am reading elsewhere here that insects are going to disappear biking seems much more attractive for long trips.
You just provided the New York Post which is a shit rag tabloid and a rightwing blog. Great citations. Have any others? Ones with actual facts not hyperbole and bullshit?

This is what happens when they methodically lower past temperatures in the record.

Really Ebay should have just amended their TOS and then memory holed emails from Amazon's accounts.

Err no.

Steel? What the hell are you talking about, granpa? Copper contacts?? Uh, what?
I know it's hard to help your level of ignorance especially since you are belligerently ignorant. But here goes
Step 1: Take the back off your phone
Step 2: Take the battery out
Step 3: Look at it.

Heaven in Europe is where

the French are the cooks
the German are the mechanics
the Italians are the lovers
and the Swiss organize everything

Yes the IPCC report, I told you. It made predictions. They have occured to within error bars.
Except that's part of reality so you will deny it.
Yeah sure you did
Care to say what those error bars are ?
and just what was prediction ?
Come on surely you want to get back to equally fact free posts on other topics ?

If you actually care, you can do it yourself.
