    the best dark color is red. infra-red is heat. reflecting red means not absorbing the red spectrum. Many many steel ships have red decks. Cooler than grey decks.

    You would think intelligent people would want discussion and real unbiased research into a topic like global warming. I also would think treating other veiwpoints contemptuously, would be considered unscientific and irational. Certainly it is symptomatic of lacking objectivity and an unwillingness to learn the truth. I'd be happy to discuss global warming with anyone as long as we can respect each other.

    And speaking of learning the truth
    Looks like our man Idso is on the take from corporate interests

    from the Heartland Institute's leaked emails
    I think we can call this one Insti-gate
    yup sure would think that people might be interested in unbiased research but apparently thats just not the way the denial machine works.

    wasn't that the same Idso you quoted earlier with the caveat saying something about his qualifications

    at $11,600 a month I'd say his qualifications are pretty well established :D

    Yep, taken at the Chipola River boat ramp in Marianna, Florida. The photo on the right was taken in April, 2011 at Lake Allatoona, Georgia.

    Thanks. It is certainly a lot roomier now with the lateral extensions. The air was so cold that the evaporation from the river condensed into a fog.

    This photo is of the boat ramp on the Chipola River north of Marianna, Florida. Go visit.

    The Land House Boat is parked behind the photographer (me) as this shot was taken.

    Not at all Frosty. Its just politics and religion that are out. Tends to get messy. Although we've had our moments over here as well. Hell we've had moments everywhere at least twice so I'm no to worried about it.

    Climate issues are very directly related to yacht design. I can't even remotely pick my design unless I consider the conditions and that means weather. Which an offshoot of climate. I'm not sure there's any large sea fairing nations which aren't studying the effects climate shift is having on there coastlines

    Speaking of which, conditions are changing due to climate shift and mitigating those changes is essential for longer term investments

    and then there's always the ever present denialist machine at least one of which just got exposed for the fraud it is
