The ice sheet on Greenland is, on average 7,005 ft thick. Greenland's ice sheet is 660,000 sq miles. Ice weighs 57.3 lbs/ft^3. A back of the envelope calculation shows that the 1.5 X 10^16 lbs of ice mentioned in the article amounts to about 2.62 X 10^14 cubic feet of ice, or a cube 63,970 feet on a side. Or, 4,092,160,900 sq ft X 9.13 = 37,369,811,959 sq ft, or 1,340 sq mi.
0.20% of the total ice covering Greenland.
WWII fighter aircraft crash landing on Iceland were found 46 years later buried 260 feet deep. That amounts to an average ice layer of 5.7 feet per year, which is 0.08% of the 7,005 feet of ice cover.
For one gram of ice to melt into water at 0C it requires 334 Joules of energy. Note that the temperature doesn't change when the melting occurs. That is because the ice is changing to the liquid phase, and the energy goes into the motion of the water molecules, not into its temperature rise. When all the ice has melted addition energy of 4.18 Joules per gram of water will raise the temperature of that gram of water 1C. Ergo, it will take 418 joules of energy to raise one gram of water at 0C to 1 gram of water at 100C. To convert that gram of water at 100C into water vapor will require an additional 2260 Joules of energy.
The deep oceans average between 0-3C and the upper oceans average between 10-15C. So, each gram of water will absorb only an additional 12 to 60 Joules of energy.
An "agitated" janitor is supposedly using the Sunspot Internet connection to upload, download and store child porn and the FBI reacts by bringing in a Black Helicopter and FBI swat team to evacuate the whole hilltop, homes, post office and all other facilities, and keeps them closed for eleven days? And, the Sunspot server admin has no clue that a lowly janitor is busting into his system and using it for illegal purposes?
Not likely. FBI hackers had already identified the janitor as the perp, and two agents could have been dispatched to arrest the perp and made a copy of the evidence before deleting it from the servers.
The Feds wanted that facility offline, and are kept offline for 11 days for other reasons. IMO, the child porn claim is just transparent cover story.
Yes Ivan, you Russians got the best US president for your interests in many a year. No doubting that. A disgusting traitor is still a disgusting traitor. Bob Mueller's coming for Trumpski. Just watch and wait, dickhead.
the one made in the 1970s to stop global cooling: spread coal dust on the arctic and antarctic ice sheets. It's on par with importing cane toads into Australia. Or, their rabbit plagues. Or, the Red Fox they introduced to control the rabbits they introduced.
They had it wrong back in 1970 and they have it wrong now. Why did they have it wrong in 1970? Because they tried to tie global cooling into Marxist wealth redistribution, just like they did with "climate change".
Science is never settled. If AGW is "settled" then it is not science.
Want to strike fear into the heart of a quantum physicist? Just ask about "The Measurement" problem.
From the article: "Quantum theory has a long history of thought experiments, and in most cases these are used to point to weaknesses in various interpretations of quantum mechanics. But the latest version, which involves multiple players, is unusual: it shows that if the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct, then different experimenters can reach opposite conclusions about what the physicist in the box has measured. This means that quantum theory contradicts itself."
It may also may mean that a true quantum computer cannot exist because it cannot really actually resolve a problem down to a single solution. (The D-Wave uses quantum annealing, and thus is not a true quantum computer).
The US is all about forced morality. See also: Prohibition, the War on Some Drugs, historic bans on interracial marriage, the KKK, and Draconian anti-prostitution laws that punish sex workers.
Don't forget Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other sites owned by those who own the ones I just listed. If you don't post or upload videos which agree with their corporate political POV then you are shadow banned, banned, suspended or your account is deleted. IOW, digitally, you are lined up against the wall and shot if your POV isn't Marxist. IF those folks every get power in DC then there is a good chance Conservatives will be physically lined up against the wall and shot. AntiFa, their thug arm, is giving us a view of the future they have planned for us.
Just compare life in Eastern Europe following WWII with life in the West. Which society would you have rather lived in, the one which froze 1932 and made it last until 1989, or the one that became the most wealthy and powerful society with the highest number of middle class citizens in the world since the Roman Empire? Stole it? Right. If you feel like getting rich quickly, go out and rob a bunch of poor people and see how much wealth that gets you.
Rice University closed it doors today following a failed socialist experiment in which Rice tried to fund the college education of hordes of undocumented democrat voters masquerading as poor Hispanic Americans.
Those who could master English well enough to graduate and get a good job in the STEMs (employers long ago stopped hiring gender studies graduates) started paying taxes and realized what most Americans do, that their tax money went to pay for 4th, 5th and 6th generation professional welfare recipients who contribute nothing to the economy and drain public resources.
Rice administrators had been influenced by Marxist theology and attempted to deploy the Cloward–Piven strategy, but succeeded only in destroying their own financial base. The Rice administrators found work as schedule managers at various fast food burger joints around the country.
Just like YouTube, Facebook has been on a rampage censoring or deleting Conservative or Christian accounts to reduce their influence in the upcoming 2018 midterm elections. It's what the socials did in 2012 as well, with the help of the IRS, EPA and other weaponized Federal agencies.

The distinction is only in your mind. Marxists use the label "socialist", or "progressive" or "Liberal" as an invisibility cloak to hide their true intentions, totalitarian rule. Once they get power, as is evident in Venezuela or Cuba or China, the cloak comes off. Citizens of the EU are getting a whiff of it now.
As a HS physics and math teacher during the 1970's I remember very well the alarmist warnings about the planet freezing due to natural cooling. Those alarmists were usually the sames ones who were spouting "nuclear winter" if we weren't more agreeable with the USSR concerning arms control. I include a link to a PDF of a Newsweek article http://www.denisdutton.com/new...
because it contains a graph by the gov's NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) which showed the average temperature decline from 1940 to 1970. The graph is significant because this year NASA released their "data" for the same period and they have conveniently eliminated the 30 year drop in temperatures. https://realclimatescience.com...
There was no Internet back then, as you should know, so mass communication was done through newspapers and periodicals. Those sources were about evenly divided politically, and editors filtered letters to the editor, sometimes making them appear just the opposite of what the writer actually wrote (from personal experience).
Most trusted were the talking heads of the TV news casts. In the early 1980s 8' satellite TV dishes were set up in villages and at farm houses in rural areas because city based cable TV companies would not string cable out to those locations for economic reasons. When properly aligned (installing and aligning them was part of my business) the viewer could swing across the sky to tune in channels transmitted by 5watt transponders (thus the need for 8' dishes) on various satellites. One satellite was Westar IV, which contained the ABC news feeds. Folks would watch Max Robinson and Frank Reynalds discuss how they would present the news. One could watch the live feed, which was never broadcast and didn't include ads, then watch the actual news cast which was later broadcast. The difference between what one saw watching the live feed versus what the two talking heads said had happened destroyed my faith in the integrity of the evening news broadcasts. They had an agenda and they didn't mind lying about the news to spread it.
Folks in the rural areas began protesting to local TV affiliates, especially with tape recordings comparing what actually happened with what was presented. One I remember very clearly was President Reagan arriving at a NOW convention. He walked onto the stage and got a 10 minute standing ovation. He spoke for about 20-30 minutes and, as was customary with Reagan, he interspersed about a dozen jokes. All but one received raucous laughter. He got another 5 minute standing ovation as he left the stage. That's what I saw. The 5pm ABC World News Tonight started off with "Reagan received mixed approval at the NOW convention", played the video clip where the woman didn't laugh at that one joke, and then followed it with a 1 minute and 47 second rant by Eleanor Smeal about how Reagan was going to drag women by the hair back into the stone age. If Reynolds and Robinson were to be believed Reagan barely got out of the NOW convention alive. So it was with every political story, always slanted to favor the Democrats.
The national TV corporations began encrypting their transponder signals so the common folk could not see the ACTUAL news for themselves and make up their own minds. The response was a brief market in decryption chips, which Congress made illegal to make, sell or buy in the US, following intensive lobbying by the broadcasting companies. So, rural folks have not trusted national news for the last 30-40 years, which explains, in part, why rural areas are conservative. That big cities got their info from slanted news casts explains why they are mostly "Liberal".
With the Internet the big corporations and social websites do not control ALL of the news. Local news shows (radio or TV) and videos taken by
The key is "efficient". Sugar crops as a whole generally only yield a fraction of a percent of their received solar energy as sugar. Even just considering the leaves alone, they only net about 5% net sugar yield.
If you want efficiency, you're going to want a direct chemical process. I looked into this at one point and was surprised at how complicated it appears to be to make simple sugars, in terms of the number of requisite steps. Much simpler would probably be a direct conversion to fatty acids; they're carboxylic acids and there's a number of ways to directly synthesize free carboxylic acids from simple raw materials (the main challenge would be specificity)
You ignore the fact that the majority of any "sugar" crop is cellulose, a polymer of sugar. Since you want to jump to chemical processes right off the bat then add enzymes to cellulose pulp that converts it to sugar.

For nearly ten years before I retired BCBS was the insurance vendor for where I worked. After I retired I switched to their supplement plan. Four years later, even though my wife and I had made few claims, which they were very slow paying, if at all, we got a notice saying that our "group" was being canceled. So we contracted with another supplement vendor. Three months later BCBS sent us an ad telling about a new policy, which was exactly like the policy they dropped, except that it cost about 50% more. We have received several ads from them since but all are immediately sent to file 13.

Besides, isn't race a social construct? If that favorite meme of the Left is true then protecting a race is like making a gas mask to protect against Unicorn farts.
They cannot keep any personal information secret because the gov equates accusation with guilt and you have to prove yourself innocent.
