Rob JM says: April 14, 2013 at 4:33 pm Easterbrook uses an incorrect argument in his reply though. Increasing CO2 has very little warming effect not because there is so little of it, but because there is so much of it that it already absorbs most of the energy available, ie its close to saturation. The first 30ppm absorbs 50% of the radiation, then each doubling absorbs half of the remainder as per the beer lambert equation. Of course the IPCC claims each doubling causes the same forcing because some idiot doesn’t know the difference between absorption and absorbance!

H.L. Mencken warned us “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

runningman18 Zero Hedge, 4-12-13 "Prains, you have confused collectivism with COMMUNITY. They are not the same thing. Collectivism subsumes the individual and turns him into a piece of the machine. Community respects the liberty of the individual and thrives through voluntary action. Collectivism solves nothing. Community solves everything. Sadly, there are many ignorant people out there who cannot tell the difference between these two ways of living, which is why we are in so much trouble today."

Eg. It is the volume between the sides of surface that defines it. Equation is an identity, e.g. e = mc^, since volume vaies as surface area expands to Max Surface Area = 2D^ Phi, as Edge Width is about 1/20,000 MSA at maximum, then that constant, i.e. EW is the clue.

The warmists are the key, they are so earnest and sure of themselves in the face of overwhelming data falsifying their predictions which shows they don't understand what causes what in Earth's climate. None of us do now, but you sure can put up some odds on warmer or colder. I think I know why. They believe deep deep down they are doing good. They are saving Earth; thus they are entitled to ignore all counter data. Thus those who disagree with them are bad and by inference anything you say, especially showing data that shows their predictions are wrong = your bad= crazy = greedy. Doing real good, doing science actually requires a ruthless search for the truth, Data speaks, not your exalted belief you can do no wrong because you are "for the good" in your imagination.

Def. of Capitilism = a free society: Author Profile Page mistified replied to comment from SCyankee | February 18, 2013 3:05 PM | Reply " Capitalism is, always has been and always will be ruthless, brutal and lacking any altruism by its nature." What a load of rubbish. The following definition of capitalism is from wiki. "Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of capital goods and the means of production, with the creation of goods and services for profit." For one, capitalism by its very definition, cannot exist within a dictatorial form of government. That fact, in and of itself, gives credence to the validity of capitalism. The definition of capitalism does not suggest that those practicing it may not be rogues, thieves or scoundrels but these are certainly not requirements. A person who makes an item or provides a service for others will not do so unless there is a profit at the end of the finish line. For you not to agree with their expectation of a profit is your problem not theirs. You are more than welcome to give away any damn thing you wish. But to label their expectation of a profit as "ruthless, brutal and lacking in any form of altruism" is moronically myopic.

Our sworn leaders are grifters, especially our two main political party leaders: "grift (gr ft) Slang. n. 1. Money made dishonestly, as in a swindle. 2. A swindle or confidence game. v. grift·ed, grift·ing, grifts. v.intr. To engage in swindling ...". We need to clean house and put these criminals in jail or the ideal of Liberty and Justice for All is dead in the USA.

Quotes by Galileo Galilei, "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them. Galileo Galilei", "Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so.", "It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment. ", "Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.", "In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.". In short, Show and tell, and let the chips fall where they may. Only the objective truth can enable Earth and Homo Sapiens to survive. .
