Bill Gates gets it about AGW, no carbon, and new cheap energy technology being needed.http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/02/12/bill ... tml?hpt=T2
Since he wants to spend money, anybody told him about Polywell?

So engineering gets shafted, aerospace is left to it's own devices and the GISS and the loon get the prize. sounds like the One all over. I remember what happened to Delta clipper and the X-37. At least in those cases NASA did it to themselves. Not at all, better technology like ion and eventual ph...

You are correct, they are concerned about the missing sink as they worry if it will increase or decrease with rising temp due to AGW. They've found it: http://www.nature.com/climate/2007/0708/full/climate.2007.35.html Note: obscure links with no dates and no peer reviewed papers are always to be su...

CO2 lagged these natural changes as Biota flourished/died. Today that is reversed with CO2 emissions leading temp changes due to thermal latency of the oceans. Or maybe a large fraction of the CO2 we see is a result of the last 150 years of warming. I couldn't quantify that. Although I will agree w...

And yeah just a thousand or so years ago when the Vikings farmed Greenland the seas must have been higher. Their villages are now under ice. Doesn't any one care about Vikings any more? That is an extinct species for sure. The icesheet has remained intact for longer than that. You should avail your...

Here's where eagle's focus on earth's black body heating CO2 falls down: albedo. Earth only absorbs what is not already reflected, either by clouds, or by the surface itself. Not really does it fall down, blackbody is the heat emitted where albedo is already taken into effect as less heat is absorb...

You boys are missing the point of this post which was to get you to consider the vertical temperature profile of the atmosphere for clues of what was causing the increased warming, commonly known as Global warming and changes in the lapse rate. I prefer you use peer reviewed research papers if you a...

We've got about 30 years of Sat pictures showing arctic ice is melting. Don't ignore that we also have pretty convincing evidence that same melting didn't start with human CO2 emissions, but was already in progress for hundreds of years. Yes, it is best not to confuse natural variability as evidenc...

So these studies can help you to see that GHG is affecting the warming of the planet and the changes in lapse rate indirectly indicates that GHG is having more of an affect (trapping heat) that some would like to believe it does. I think your missing the argument against AGW. I think if anything mo...

Here is another report regarding solar: http://climate.gsfc.nasa.gov/publications/fulltext/Solar_GRL_2009.pdf A quote, "The Earth’s atmosphere and ocean respond differently to different wavelengths of solar radiation. The UV spectrum is responsible for stratospheric heating, and formation of the ozo...

Many points made by various members of the polywell discussion group are also discussed in this report http://www.climatescience.gov/Library/sap/sap1-1/finalreport/sap1-1-final-chap5.pdf But I would like to point out three points they made: 1. Increases in well-mixed greenhouse gases (which are prim...

Solar and GHG both affect the earth's climate. Natural variability and anthropogenic forcing are both correct. Any argument that tries to exclude one or diminish the other is bound to be ultimately found to be a false claim. Due to the complexity of the problem of climate and the measured changes th...

I believe the above papers show that manipulation can occur on either side of an argument just like the climategate claim being used now. If one 'fraud' is being turned into public policy and the other is not, which should I concern myself with? Or are you suggesting that I should be willing to ign...

Regarding the gloating over climate gate, seems like there are errors on both sides of this argument folks: Solar magnetic activity (sun spots) and cosmic rays. http://stephenschneider.stanford.edu/Publications/PDF_Papers/DamonLaut2004.pdf http://stephenschneider.stanford.edu/Publications/PDF_Paper...
