Yes, cold bias. Changing the measuring procedures for minimum temperature can introduce a cold bias, it could also introduce a warm bias. In this case, it introduced a cold bias, and that needs to be accounted for when the data you have is not treated in the same fashion consistently. I have...

Metallurgical coal is completely different than the coal used in power generating stations. You can't create met coal from flue emissions, it wouldn't be economically viable. Cap and trade, or any price on carbon is the incentive. If there is a commercially viable product then that is what the...

Adjustments go in both directions. See the histogram I posted? There are as many positive adjustments as negative adjustments. You have one station, that histogram is for a set of over 5000 stations. They adjust upwards when changes in measuring protocol introduce a negative bias.

Do you think it makes sense to plot a graph with two vertical axes out of phase like that? The left axis increases in magnitude as you move down, while the right axis increases in magnitude as you move up. Correlation? Yeah right. It's not even clear what the varying length of the sun spot...

The Russian version of CATO? Colour me unimpressed by these Russians.

If politicians follow the advice of scientists, and actually cut the emissions that the scientists are saying is necessary, do you think the amount of money given out as grants to climate science will go up, or down? They're not asking for more money to study this issue. The scientists who go...

Even for a spoof that's poor quality. Can't even space "to_find____logic__and__reason" evenly. It's not surprising that the simple science stuff goes over their head. lol

I read this just now and thought of your questions Ron. Hope you find this sort of thing useful. :smile: Are the CRU data “suspect”? An objective assessment. — eric @ 15 December 2009 Kevin Wood, Joint Institute for the Study of the...

Locally here we have Stokdijk tomatoes. Largest greenhouse in NS. I like their yellow tomatoes. I'd personally like to get my hands on some of the wild germplasm. Growers used to have some particular frankenstein tomatoes, with some genetically engineered product. But then they tried breeding...

I agree with that. All I'm saying is that we need these new technologies, and we need people to follow your conservation goals :smile:

Is the RSS homogenized to produce the same thing? :roll: You can't win with this guy folks. In one breath he curses the surface temperature record because cities grow around thermometers, or stations have to move, and an urban heat island exist. In the next he asserts they are homogenized for a...

I watched as much as I could stand in the past. From his video it lead me to the NOAA page here: GISP2 - Temperature Reconstruction and Accumulation Data The FTP page has all the raw data. The paper that data is based on is online, here...

No, I did. Because cutting the heat back one or two degrees at a time, and driving one less trip a week won't cut it. It helps, but it won't make the grade. With current technology, and population growth, it would require drastic lifestyle changes. Efficiency improvements and conservation...

They're saying the same thing that David Barber is.

Do you prefer a carbon tax? The US will have a system soon, and Canada will have to do something. Whether we adopt the American plan, or tailor our own to the same targets, will be the question.

So how do you know when we've cut back enough? Is it when you have to wear three blankets in your house to avoid freezing to death with current technology? Maybe some people would prefer walking around comfortably with new technology? Conservation is great JLM, and it's needed, but the current...

Very serious. No...how do you think that I meant that based on what I said? We were headed towards an ice age. But the human signal now dwarfs the orbital signal which triggers the growth of ice sheets. Newsflash, ice sheets are shrinking, not growing. This is what the arctic has been doing...

Absolutely. You can't throw money around willie nillie, it has to be targeted at projects which work! :lol:

Beavis or Butthead, reminds me a utoob video I saw recently :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P70SlEqX7oY :lol:

Anyone who thinks an ice age is beginning is clueless.
