    Beware AGWarmists bearing ropes.

    Lynchgate :p

    Hello Guillermo,

    Have been very busy over last few months renovating 1930s house with my three sons. Gutted the place and installed new central heating system, copious amounts of insulation, rewired and newly plastered throughout.

    We await planning permission for a single storey extension and I'm sleeping in a large tent in the back garden. It's most comfortable.

    If the weather gods continue to smile, we should be finished by early October. We have nearly completed one shower room, yet I still prefer taking my ablutions in the old bath, which is sat on the back patio. Filled with hot water via a hose, I lie back in the bath and watch the Red Kites circle overhead.

    In the meantime, here's my favourite Thames side watering hole.

    Best wishes,

    Perry

    I agree: that's idiotic alarmism.

    The truth is that isolated pockets of humanity can probably hold out for at least another two or three hundred years.:p :p :p :p

    Never thought I'd agree to any post from you...:D

    On the other hand; The Gulf of Mexoco is big, like in real big. How can any human activity cause any environmental change there?

    BP have an estimate of 100 000 (crude) Barrels/ day for their blunder (internal note)
    The normal (world) oil production is estimated to be 85 472 000 Barrels/ day. (http://www.eia.doe.gov/basics/quickoil.html )
    So the size of produced oil compared to this oil spill is in a ratio of 1:855.

    One barrel used gives approx 300 - 320 kg of CO2.

    If we assume that some scienticts are right on measuring some of the ability of CO2, as a gas. It is a not a blind guess that the gas mixture (our atmosphere) will change, and towards the properties of that added gas.

    Now, the next, thought experiment; place 855 stickers sized the gulf of Mexico around this globe...?

    Where I'm kinda trying to get is:
    • When the oil is in the ground, we're not worrying too much about it.
    • When its around our ankles its clear that we've done something wrong somwhere along the path we're on.
    • When its far above our heads, we stop worrying, Its partly the same soup that we just had around our ankles, just somewhat lighter and mixed with a gas (O2)...

    but 30-50 years... Naaahhh....:rolleyes:

    Hi, Knut! A long time since we met here last time...:) And to my surprise you are agreeing with me....! ;)

    Now, talking norwegians:

    Re: My post 8066
    I have found the Fröhlich - Lean paper which the representative of the Norwegian goverment complained about it being the only document on Solar-Climate relationship at IPCC's AR4, 2007, and assesed by Lean herself as she was the only solar physicist in the lead authors panel. Here you have it:

    The Sun's Total Irradiance: Cycles, Trends and Related Climate Change Uncertainties since 1976
    Claus Fröhlich, Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos, World Radiation Center, Davos, Switzerland
    Judith Lean, E.O. Hulburt Center for Space Research, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, U.S.A.
    GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, VOL. 25, NO. 23, PAGES 4377-4380, DECEMBER 1, 1998 :)!::!: :!: )

    http://ieg.or.kr/abstractII/G0102523037.PDF

    Do you remember Willson and Hoyt's critics to this work? Let me bring them here again for the short memoried or lazy ones:

    "Fröhlich made unauthorised and incorrect adjustments... He did it without any detailed knowledge of the ACRIM1 instrument or on-orbit performance...The only obvious purpose was to devise a TSI composite, that agreed with the predictions of Lean's TSI proxy model."


    If any of you know any other sun-climate related papers assessed by the IPCC WG1, I'll be glad to swallow my hat.

    start eating

    http://www.fakeclimate.com/arquivos/Internacional/HenrikSvensmark/svensmark_96_variations%20of.pdf

    interesting that the name of the site is Fake Climate thought
    if I have time it will be interesting to see exactly what I just posted :)

    I dont have time to read this so if it was directly adressed by the IPCC WG1 Im not sure, but it did come up under IPCC solar climate relationship and the only other hits were by Lean

    all I can say is hopefully you wont be going hungry tonight

    PS
    best of luck with the project Perry
    I have done exactly the same kind of camping trip and as long as there's a shower handy its a great time
    specially if you have your kids with you.

    well that was interesting
    I just googled the authors name in association with Realclimate which is where a lot of the guys who are actually involved in the IPCC hand out and this article by several of them came up concerning the subject of my previous post

    anyway it kinda looks like your going to go hungry this time Guillermo cause Im not so sure that this article was given very strong consideration by IPCC WG1 as you specified in your dietary plans
    looks like they reviewed it but felt it was not up to snuff to make it into the literature

    cheers and best to all

    Why Global Warming is Bull ****.

    Sydney and Melbourne are experiencing temperatures that are the lowest in 60 years this winter.

    That is enough science for me. :D

    Boston, please do not come again with your usual distracting maneouvres posting here already known info about Realclimate's opinions on Svensmark's work and the like (you have posted about this before). Please post only those documents you know for sure have been asessed by the WG1 at IPPC R4, please. Or then eat your hat.

    Cheers.

    re:effect of global warming

    A report by economist Ross Garnaut has warned Australia must take a lead role in tackling climate change or risk becoming the most badly damaged country in the developed world.


    Professor Garnaut has handed down his interim report on carbon emissions targets and the creation of an emissions trading scheme today.


    The report was commissioned by the federal, state and territory governments to help develop major policies on climate change.

    When did Australia become part of the "developed" world? I thought it was the land of toothy crocs and taipans, boomerangs and brown snakes, platypuses and picturesque places. It sounds more like you are trying to crush capitalism and create crises.
