Solar physicists Galina Mashnich and Vladimir Bashkirtsev, of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believe the climate is driven by the sun and predict global cooling will soon occur.

The two scientists are so convinced that global temperatures will cool within the next decade they have placed a $10,000 wager with a UK scientist to prove their certainty. The criteria for the $10,000 bet will be to “compare global temperatures between 1998 and 2003 with those between 2012 and 2017. The loser will pay up in 2018,” according to an April 16, 2007 article in Live Science.

Bashkirtsev and Mashnich have questioned the view that the “anthropogenic impact” is driving Earth’s climate. “None of the investigations dealing with the anthropogenic impact on climate convincingly argues for such an impact,” the two scientists noted in 2003. Bashkirtsev and Mashnich believe the evidence of solar impacts on the climate “leave little room for the anthropogenic impact on the Earth’s climate.” They believe that “solar variations naturally explain global cooling observed in 1950-1970, which cannot be understood from the standpoint of the greenhouse effect, since CO2 was intensely released into the atmosphere in this period.”

Sun-driven climate change would be expected to effect the stratosphere more than the troposphere. The exact opposite is observed.

http://www.wunderground.com/education/strato_cooling.asp

Global temperatures in 2006 were the third coldest on record in the lower stratosphere, according to the National Climatic Data Center. Only 1997 and 2000 had colder temperatures since record keeping began in 1979 (Figure 1).

OMG! This is the most serious threat to America facing our nation today.

Ethanol has to go!!!!!!

“A hike in the price of hops — close to 400 percent in some cases — likely will hit microbreweries and their customers the hardest, experts say.

In addition to hops, barley and wheat prices also have jumped as more farmers forego those crops to plant corn to meet increasing demand for ethanol. Meanwhile, other farmers are planting feed crops to replace acres lost to corn.”

I aggree Ben,

Rudy hasn’t suited up yet, once he becomes a factor the GOP race will become a lot more fun.

If I was a betting man, and I am, I’d still have Rudy vs Hillary as the eventual nominees.

At least we are learning ya can’t BUY the office.

Willard is done. Heh.. Rudy? He COULD have won. 6 years ago.

And all those chanting McCain supporters? Where on the Earth have THEY been hiding?

SO the con nominee? I don’t know. It doesn’t matter. Turnout says it is the Dems election to win. They need to pick the best next President.

“Turnout says it is the Dems election to win.”

JR, since you mentioned turnout, here is a post that I made this morning, without the links that have caused it to be; “awaiting moderation” and thus no visible, except to me:

————–

Ahem… In my continuing efforts to keep facts straight for the blog, I did a very brief research to the giddiness of some Dems are feeling about vote totals. For instance Phantom’s comment about McCain coming in third in New Hampshire behind Clinton and Obama. As if a primary had some connection with a general election.

But even allowing that it did, drawing your attention to the links above, you will find that the 2008 vote totals did indeed show Clinton 111,000, Obama 103,000 and McCain at 87,000. So this must mean Clinton is headed for the Whitehouse. Well, not exactly.

In 2004, the order of finish based on total votes was was Kerry 84,000, Dean, 57,000 and Bush 53,000. Anyone recall who won the general election that year?

And in 2000, it was McCain 115,000, Gore 76,000, Bush at 72,000, and Bradley at 70,000. Anyone recall who was elected president?

Gosh, there sure doesn’t appear to be much there to hang your hat on. Well then, how about total votes in the primary between Republicans and Democrats? Surely that means something.

In 2000, Democrats 154,000, Republicans 236,000.
In 2004, Democrats 219,000, Republicans 67,000.
In 2008, Democrats 285,000, Republicans 236,000.

See any connection between these turnout figures results and what eventually happened? No? Clearly what you run into is that people will come out to vote if the race is interesting, and the independents will vote in what they think is the most interesting race. But does it mean a darn thing? Not really. The only thing I see consistent is that Bush ended up winning both.

Ben – Is that last statistic supposed to be Romney?

My take is 2000 wasn’t even close there Outlander.

bush stole it. Gore won.

2004 was closer. But evidence is there also that the fix was in.

Not gonna happen this time. It won’t be close enough to cheat.’

So they only make happy faces?

What if I’ve been reading JR, and my emotion is one of wonder as to how one can be so dense and hatefilled, and at the same believe he is God’s gift to the blog?

What emotion would I call that? And what yellow thingie would fit it?

GMC, I’m beginning to believe a “brokered convention” might well be a good thing on both sides.

BTW, noticed the :-) thing myself the other day.

The only chance the Repubs would have is if they could run a moderate Southerner.

Like maybe Jeb Bush.

Good luck with that, hahaha.

GMC – I just made a frowny

;(

Hank – even with her negatives Clinton can beat any REPUKE out there. I think the REPUKES have even higher negatives overall.

Not gonna happen this time. It won’t be close enough to cheat.’

I’m afraid J R our nation is pretty well divided between the blue and the red. The blue took some gain from republicans tired of the status quo and
dissatisfaction with Bush.

But unless the democrats put a candidate out there who is not far left, we will remain basically a stalemate overall.

Just looking back at the midterm elections, most of the races were extremely close to confirm.

Ben and others,

Here’s a link to a Webpage that provides a table for the emoticons (smilies and etc.)

That’s it! It’s Diebold, throwing the primary to Hillary!!! I mean, it MUST be; gosh, how could the polls have been so wrong. It must be cheating!!!!!!!!!

Wait . . . haven’t I heard this song before?

Yup. And with the same evidence.

How do you like the second verse?

Who said that Diebold machines threw the election to Hillary?

There’s a big difference between the outcome not matching polls preceeding the election (Dewey v. Truman) and not matching the EXIT polls.

The former is what happened in this election. The latter is what happened in Ohio in 2004. The US government actually uses exit polls as a check on elections in disputed elections like the one in the Georgian Republic not too many years ago.

The exit polls not matching the official results is very good evidence that Sec’y of State Blackwell (a vociferious Bush partisan) and Diebold (who vowed to “deliver Ohio” for Bush) buggered that election.

Since then, Blackwell has destroyed evidence in violation of court order.

I want paper ballots counted in front of me drop these electronic vote stealers. What am I saying this election is already stolen. And all people want to talk about is how amazing it is that the polls and pundits were all wrong and that Hillary is a “comeback Queen”.

Ballots – what I would like to see is a ballot that we fill in by ‘black the ovals’ like we do in multiple-choice exams. That would then be read on the spot with the poll worker who would verify the ballot – i.e. one vote per office. A ‘non-vote’ would flag with a caution – “did you intend to not vote for dog-catcher?”. If yes then the ballot is accepted and stored.

Votes could be tabulated quickly at the end of the day – ballots themselves would be available for verification.

Question: what is the schedule between today and Feb 5?

In 2000, Democrats 154,000, Republicans 236,000.
In 2004, Democrats 219,000, Republicans 67,000.
In 2008, Democrats 285,000, Republicans 236,000.
Looks like the dems. almost doubled between 2000 and 2008, meanwhile the Repubs. have stagnated. Portends a very motivated democratic turnout, something the Repubs. have always feared.

Hard to cleanly erase those damn dots! We’d have ‘partially shaded’ and ‘double entry’ ballot disputes,

An easier method to vote would be the Iraqi purple finger with a photograph of the candidate.

Fingerprint on the candidate.

The ink would be infiltrated with tiny microchips that are programmed that would stay embedded in the persons pores for three days so they couldn’t vote again.

The tiny microchips could then be used to survey cemeteries via Global Positioning Satellites to insure the dead are not rising again to vote in their own districts.

Of course, a more permanent solution is to get those chips like they use on cats and dogs. Then one could pick up the scanner with the candidate’s photo on it and scan their own microchip.

or

Pick a digital photograph of a candidate and just press the button photo.

or

Pick the colored marble that matches the candidate, drop it in the bin with the candidate’s photo. Weigh the bin after elections.

My apologies, felt like a silly post.

HUH?
The juvenile seems to have a psychological need to believe that the majority agrees, all the time, with his Presidential picks.

When the vote doesn’t go his way, he yells “fraud!”

“Evidence” for the alleged “fraud” in the past, has included “exit polling” — and pre election polling. Those numbers did not match the actual results.

NOW, when HIS candidate, Hillary Clinton, is “behind” by double digits, in pre election polls, but WINS?

Well, consistency is never a hallmark of an irrational mind.

There are, by the way, some wacky liberals that claim Hillary “stole” the New Hampshire Primary.

THEY, at least, are consistent.

If polls can ever be used as evidence of “fraud” — is it fair to pick and choose when and where those “fraudulent” elections occur?

By the way, Hillary does seem to benefit from “dead Indians” voting:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/773365/posts

So where are the cries that Hilary is a nut?

She said last night that we have God given rights.

She must be a nut if she believes that God gives us rights, according to some of you Huckabee is a nut people, No?

Is this Mississippi JM? Just curious.

o We will continue to expand the powers of the executive branch and render oversight by Congress irrelevant.
o We will abolish unions to take away any voice and collective power you have as workers.
o We will create a new class of people called the ‘working poor’ who work full time jobs but can’t afford basic living expenses.
o While we’re lowering your standard of living, we will remove all of the public services and the safety net that you’ll need to survive.
o We willl destroy competition and promote monopoly power, particularly in the media, energy, prison and military manufacturing industries.
o We will allow, promote, create and support immense monopolies that crush small and medium sized businesses.

o If you disagree with us, you are a traitor and will be ostracized, imprisoned and killed at our discretion.

You are irrelevant, but we do like to play the game of getting you to vote for us.

The labeling of dissent as seditious or traitorous, is a sure sign of a fascist state.

if you’re tired of dealing with burnt saucepans or you’re just looking for a faster way to make breakfast, scrambling eggs in a microwave is a quick and easy.

Ingredients

* 2 eggs per person
* 1 tablespoon water per egg (optional, see Tips below)
* 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray
* Salt and pepper

# Spray or grease a microwave safe bowl with cooking spray or butter. If you do this, the egg batter will not stick to the bowl in the cooking process.
#
Crack eggs into the bowl. Whip them with a fork or whisk.
# Place in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds. Remove, as they will be partially formed (see Warnings below). Use your fork and stir them gently, so that the uncooked blends in with the still loose egg. Set the eggs back in the microwave.
#
Microwave the eggs for about 10 seconds and check them. If they’re not ready for your taste or are too liquidly, stir and break up the egg with a fork and place back in the microwave for a few more seconds.
#
Microwave for 10 second intervals until you get more solid egg than liquid. Be sure not to overcook or burn the eggs.

Tips

* The above instructions are for 2 eggs. Increase the cooking time for more eggs.
* Water produces a lighter egg, while milk or cream produces a smoother, creamier egg. Personal preference is the deciding factor.
* After the first minute, you need to keep an eye on the eggs to avoid overcooking.
* Let the eggs cool in the fridge and mix with mayonnaise for quick sandwiches.
* Adding salt early in the cooking process will greatly reduce the amount needed later to improve flavour.
* Just remember that if you want to eat the eggs with something else, but need to heat that item, microwave it separately from the eggs. The eggs will continue to cook and may turn crispy and brown while heating.
* Fresh ground pepper tastes best on scrambled eggs, and there’s no excuse for not having a grinder (even for starving students) now that spice companies offer peppercorns in an inexpensive disposable grinder bottle.

Warnings

* The bowl can get very hot.
* Use oven gloves or a cloth when handling.
* Cover with a paper plate sometimes they explode.
* Never try to microwave an egg in the shell. It will explode and make a very big mess.

Things You’ll Need

* non-metallic mixing bowl
* whisk/fork
* microwave

“The sun heats up the Earth and the oceans warm up and atmospheric carbon dioxide rises.”

That is called a positive feedback loop. We trigger warming by some effect – be it Milankovitch, anthropogenic CO2 – then the feedbacks accellerate the effect. It is well explained in paleoclimatology textbooks.

Actually, I’ve been cooking eggs in the microwave for quite a while now, JM.

Don’t try to hard boil them in the shell though–KA BOOM!

Ben,

Right… but look at the other part of Hayden’s claim.

“A higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, he said, does not cause the Earth to be warmer. Instead,” he said, “a warmer Earth causes the higher carbon dioxide levels.” “

WILSON, Kan. — A small-town police chief has been fired after he was convicted of stealing beer from the fire department’s refrigerator.

The city council in Wilson on Monday fired chief Brian Hill, effective Jan. 25. He has the option of a hearing within the next two weeks.

Hill was arrested Aug. 1 after a surveillance tape showed him taking the beer. He was convicted of misdemeanor theft on Dec. 26 and given probation. He had been suspended without pay pending an appeal of the conviction.

Authorities did not disclose how much beer was stolen, or why it was in the fire department. A warrant put the value of the beer at less than $1,000.

The two departments share a building, and the door separating the offices usually was unlocked, officials said.

The only person by the name of Brian Hill in the Wilson area has an unlisted phone number, so he could not be reached for comment.

James – I’m surprised they didn’t just let the firefighters ‘take care’ of the matter.

He is a junk science expert,

Yea, he is an expert at doing junk science.

That is correct cosmos. The orbital changes are quite subtle – it is the feedback that makes it work. In today’s case the trigger is actually much larger than in Milankovitch.

It’s not just ocean CO2 but also teresstrial CO2. Increase spodisols and histosols (soils that contain a lot of carbon) and decrease CO2. Convert them to aridisols (release the carbon) and increase CO2.

Vegetation pattern changes also play a role.

Al Gore Getting Rich Spreading Global Warming Hysteria With Media’s Help

or How Al Gore went from 1 million to 100 million in wealth in 7 years scamming consumers

August 2007 just two months ago, ABC News.com estimated soon-to-be-Nobel Laureate Al Gore’s net worth at $100 million, which isn’t bad considering that he was supposedly worth about $1 million when he watched George W. Bush get sworn in as president in January 2001.

Talk about your get-rich-quick schemes, how’d you like to increase your net worth 10,000 percent in less than seven years?

Al Gore is chairman and founder of a private equity firm called Generation Investment Management (GIM). According to Gore, the London-based firm invests money from institutions and wealthy investors in companies that are going green. “Generation Investment Management, purchases — but isn’t a provider of — carbon dioxide offsets,” said spokesman Richard Campbell in a March 7 report by CNSNews.

GIM appears to have considerable influence over the major carbon-credit trading firms that currently exist: the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) in the U.S. and the Carbon Neutral Company (CNC) in Great Britain. CCX is the only firm in the U.S. that claims to trade carbon credits.

As GIM chairman, Gore has not been forthcoming, according to Forbes magazine. Little is known about his firm’s finances, where it gets funding and what projects it supports.

Environmentalist groups disparage Gore and his investment banker friends. They say the Gore group caters to others who share their financial interest in the carbon-exchange concept. The bulletin of the World Rainforest Movement says that members of a United Nations-sponsored group called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stand to gain by approving Gore’s carbon-trading enterprise. The IPCC has devised what it says is a scientific measure of the impact of greenhouse gases on global warming. In fact, the critics charge, the IPCC sanctions a mechanism that mainly promotes the sham concept of carbon exchange.

The global non-profit organization Winrock International is an example of one IPCC panel member that seeks out groups and individuals with an interest in carbon trading. Arkansas-based Winrock provides worldwide “carbon-advisory services.” Winrock has received government grants from the EPA, USAID and the Departments of Labor, State and Commerce, as well as from the Nature Conservancy (whose chairman used to be Henry Paulson). Winrock argues that cap-and-trade carbon trading is the best way to prevent a climate change crisis. But consider this: When a non-profit group takes money from oil companies and advocates drilling for oil as a solution to energy shortages, it is certain to be attacked as a tool of Big Oil. So far, the groups linked to Al Gore have avoided similar scrutiny.

In June 2006, the World Bank announced that it, too, had joined CCX, saying that it intended to offset its greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing emission credits through CCX. The bank says its credits would contribute to restoring 4,600 hectares of degraded pastureland in Costa Rica. Somehow, CCX has figured out that this is an amount equivalent to 22,000 metric tons of emission that the bank calculates are created by its activities.

A World Bank blog called the Private Sector Development Blog regularly features items touting Al Gore and the concept of carbon credits. Its articles typically announce corporate “green” initiatives in which carbon credits are said to cancel out “bad” CO2 emissions released by a company’s activities.

In fact, the World Bank now operates a Carbon Finance Unit that conducts research on how to develop and trade carbon credits. The bank works with Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark and Spain to set up carbon-credit funds in each country to purchase emission credits from firms for use in developing countries. In addition, it runs the Carbon Fund for Europe helping countries meet their Kyoto Protocol requirements. These funds are traded on the ECX (half of which is owned by CCX, itself a creature of Al Gore’s firm, Generation Investment Management). Can we connect the dots?

So it seems banks and investment houses are going green, eager to enter an emerging emissions market. Meanwhile, environmentalists are discovering new ways to get rich while believing they are saving polar bears and rainforests.

Add it all up, Al Gore really is perpetrating a scheme that could end up being much more costly to Americans than anything Ken Lay did. As if that’s not bad enough, our media are totally complicit rather than doing their jobs exposing the scam.

I’ve wondered why American sacrifices, so much greater than ours, don’t get public acknowledgement of that sacrifice. Just a question, not a comparison nor a complaint of things Americana

CIA’s Rodriquez won’t testify w/http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080110/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/cia_videotapes_16o immunity!

Ben,

The RealClimate link I posted at 9:36 pm has this,

“Second, the idea that there might be a lag of CO2 concentrations behind temperature change (during glacial-interglacial climate changes) is hardly new to the climate science community. Indeed, Claude Lorius, Jim Hansen and others essentially predicted this finding fully 17 years ago, in a landmark paper that addressed the cause of temperature change observed in Antarctic ice core records, well before the data showed that CO2 might lag temperature. In that paper (Lorius et al., 1990), they say that:

changes in the CO2 and CH4 content have played a significant part in the glacial-interglacial climate changes by amplifying, together with the growth and decay of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets, the relatively weak orbital forcing”
——-

It was predicted in 1990, but the good Dr. Hayden still doesn’t seem to know about it?

James I am not a doctor or any other sort of professional. I AM a good observer of human nature.

We had some posters before. Crusader X, LRB, you can go back and look.

They had their demons. They left this forum or were otherwise removed from it.

I like to think they found help and peace.

You should search for the same.

Looks like it’s James McCluer meltdown time.

Again…

cosmos is a liar. He falsely claims the accuracy of computer climate models in one breath and then denies in the next.

“I’ve posted before that the climate models are
flawed.

And I’ve posted that the huge UNCERTAINTY re
future climate is the main problem.

If we knew EXACTLY how much it’d warm, how much
the sea level would rise, we could plan for it.”

Since you cannot prove harm as a result of any posts on The WEBlog, you have no case.

Thank God for the fact you are not a lawyer or you would know that cyber stalking cases have been upheld in courts all across the land.

The harm or potential for harm is not determined by direct effect, but indirect effects by displaying or misrepresentation where identity thieves and other factors may come into the case.

The unauthorized release of a person’s identity, domestic residence and their activities is described in both cyber stalking and civil stalking statutes.

No James – I was looking for the ‘other’ trial information. The one for ’stalking’.

I never made any other comparisons; your statement “comparing me to something that has nothing to do with me.” is itself false.
