		<description>&lt;b&gt;Multi-nic’d ‘Regular’ aka Republican&lt;/b&gt;,

Thank you, for again confirming that you cannot refute the very strong science that supports AGW.

And. . .  can you hear the multi-nic’d ‘Regular’s mother and father PROUDLY bragging about their son&#039;s lies?

OUR son LIES about climate science on the WE Blog.

OUR son LIES about posters.

OUR son LIES about what caused the New Orleans levees to fail.

OUR son LIES about the Air Borne missle defense system.

The multi-nic’d ‘Regular’ represents(sic) the true &quot;Kansas values&quot; of his mother, father, and long Kansas heritage.</description>

James, I am tired of saying this, BUT —-

If cosmos is not a scientist, PROVE IT!!

Your “Jimmy one note” on this matter is most annoying!!
---------------------------
You prove it.

cosmos has already admitted on this blog that he has take a &quot;few science courses.&quot;  To me, that means he is not a scientist.

Why don&#039;t you ask cosmos directly Chas? He avoids direct questions from everyone else.

If he avoids answering you or is evasive, then it means he is not a scientist, but another Internet bullshyt artist.</description>

&lt;b&gt;Hank Price&lt;/b&gt;,

Too bad the multi-nic’d ‘Regular’ cannot help you defend the 100% bogus CO2 claims from E. G. Beck.

And I doubt that the multi-nic’d ‘Regular&#039;s &quot;friend&quot;, Dr. Carter Alexander, will help you.</description>

RUSUTSU, Japan - President Bush and leaders of the world&#039;s richest nations pledged Tuesday to &quot;move toward a low-carbon society&quot; by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2050, the latest step in a long evolution by a president who for years played down the threat of global warming.</description>

But James, if he completed the Air Force Air Command and Staff College in 1984, he must have been WORKING on that during 1983… eh?? He didnt just waltz in there, and complete it in 1984, without DOING something to complete it… He was also in training for Star Lab and flying a Shuttle, sometime between 1982 - 90…

And yes, James… I read the entire Link!!

Dont start your damned spinning now… You have been doing pretty good so far!! 
--------------------------
You&#039;re the one spinning Chas, because you don&#039;t have a clue about what you are talking about.

There are several phases to Air Command and Staff College.  They also have distance learning courses where one can take the academics of the course, complete it and be able to enroll into the next phase, when they reach grade (rank.)

For those type of correspondence courses, one can be a non-resident student anywhere.  

The more challenging aspects of the various phases that involve applying for graduate level credit hours must be done in residence.  

You&#039;re a dufus Chas, admit it. You speak out of your ass more often than not.</description>

And the multi-nic’d ‘Regular’ aka Republican doing the 8 PSI study in 1983 and early 1984 makes him a credible climate scientist in 2008? LOL!
-----------------------
I just did bring up the OBOG study cosmos.

But hey, I can understand you not being a scientist or even a person who has a clue about what scientific research is about, you would have great difficulty in understanding what real science looks like when you see it.

Poor cosmos thinks science comes off the Web, in the form of blogs and magazine articles.

cosmos is not a scientist.</description>

		<description>Well Chas, I&#039;m lucky you weren&#039;t one of the researchers on the project, as your faulty data might have killed both me and Puz.

Read it again Chas.

Master of Science in Space Operations from the Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, OH, in 1982. 

Also completed Air Force Air Command and Staff College in 1984.

What year is missing Chas?

How about 1983 Chas?

Get a grip on reality Chas.

And, of course Puz wasn&#039;t stationed there, he was TDY. But I already told this to you Chas.

Do try and pay attention Chas.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well Chas, I&#8217;m lucky you weren&#8217;t one of the researchers on the project, as your faulty data might have killed both me and Puz.</p>
<p>Read it again Chas.</p>
<p>Master of Science in Space Operations from the Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, OH, in 1982. </p>
<p>Also completed Air Force Air Command and Staff College in 1984.</p>
<p>What year is missing Chas?</p>
<p>How about 1983 Chas?</p>
<p>Get a grip on reality Chas.</p>
<p>And, of course Puz wasn&#8217;t stationed there, he was TDY. But I already told this to you Chas.</p>
<p>Do try and pay attention Chas.</p>

Please explain, in detail, the biological metabolic processes of coal-fired plants, internal combustion engines, and other sources that produce anthropogenic CO2.</description>

		<description>And the multi-nic’d ‘Regular’ aka Republican doing the 8 PSI study in 1983 and early 1984 makes him a credible climate scientist in 2008?  LOL!</description>

		<description>Well,  James,  i  dont  know  what  his  job  was  at Brooks...   But  in  the  years  you  listed  as  being  there,   your  ol&#039;  buddy   was  up in  Ohio   working on  his  MS   degree   at Wright/Patterson....   And  then  off  to  the  Air Force Air Command  and  Staff  College,  in  1984...

Just  thought  I  would  mention  that...  :-)</description>

		<description>Oh yeah, it was done in an altitude chamber, commonly referred to as a Hyperbaric Chamber. Not a hypobaric chamber, that simulates diving. 

The section was called, ummm, trying to remember, Aerospace Physiological Training, I think.  

They did altitude tests, had flight simulators and did disorientation medical tests on pilots and flight crew members.  Was an important place for pilots to get medical problems sorted out to see if they would remain on flying status.  

The early astronauts went there as well, I think in the Saturn era programs to get examines.

There is a funny picture that someone drew that hangs on the wall near the centrifuge room called the &quot;Order of the Elephant.&quot;  I think it was where the astronauts were lying on a couched seat and took 15g&#039;s.  That means 15 times the force of gravity or 15 times your own body weight pressing down on you.  Must have been painful .  Anyway, I guess if they passed, they got that certificate. :)</description>

		<description>That&#039;s right Chas, 1983-1985 was the length of the study.  I don&#039;t know the dates when Puz was there, but do remember him.  1983 most likely as it was the hotbed year (everyone wanted to get in on it)

Sometimes, the protocol officers for the project wouldn&#039;t call you for several months because they were testing just equipment or biological media and other scientific instrumentation/calibration.

It was an easy experiment, at least for me. You put on a positive pressure breathing mask and did mild exercise (lifted small weights, turned wrenches and etc) to see if anything physiological would go wrong or right and to get baseline measurements of the human body under said conditions.

But whatever Chas, I was there, it was another experiment among the tens of thousands that the Air Force had done, I was a very small sliver on a large peg in one instance in time.</description>

		<description>Go read the link again Chas.  I know you won&#039;t but if you want to verify it, you can.  I&#039;ll put the text here.  Puz wasn&#039;t assigned to Brooks AFB as I recall, forgot exactly where his home station was now.  He was sent there TDY (Temporary Duty) as he was an active candidate for the Space and Shuttle program.

The text in bold, don&#039;t think it gives dates, but with a name like Puz, who can forget. :)


Re: Craig Puz
&lt;i&gt;NASA EXPERIENCE:&lt;/i&gt; Selected to operate the complex STARLAB ATP experiment aboard the Space Shuttle and received NASA-specific payload specialist training. Interfaced with NASA astronaut crew, NASA centers, experiment developers, and contractors as on-orbit expert for experiment hardware and software. Participated in RC-135 Zero Gravity Aircraft flights to refine Starlab hardware and procedures as well as Neutral Buoyancy Simulator (MSFC), Weightless Environment Training Facility (JSC) payload development simulations, and Rockwell International Shuttle simulations. Trained on the Manned Maneuvering Unit simulator at the Lockheed/Martin training facility outside Denver, CO, and the Remote Manipulator System/Satellite Servicing Simulator at the Grumman Aerospace facility, Bethpage, NY. &lt;b&gt;Volunteered as a participant in the 8-psi spacesuit study at Brook AFB, TX&lt;/b&gt; and participated in development of the AX-5 hard spacesuit at Ames Research Center, Sunnyvale, CA.
