    0.45 Power Curve Derivation

    thread822-236954 I was searching for this and found an old thread here. Due to work circumstances I haven't been on this site for years, but my work situation changed. Anyway, I found this old thread in a Google search! My question is this. I've run into the 0.45 power curve in several...

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    Particularly when we really don't know the benefits vs. the costs of CO2 increasing. There is an argument to be made that convection is the buffer for ghg's - the more ghg's, the more heat closer to the ground, the more convection. Evaporation/convection moves a huge amount of heat from the...

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    cranky108 (Electrical) 5 May 09 23:00: "imagine snow caped mountans, as the earth slowly gets colder from the lack of sun spot activity. We can fix that, just add CO2." Maybe - then again, increasing CO2 has never warmed Earth before...

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    The global temperature, according to satellites, has been declining this century. Also, increasing CO2 is good for the biosphere - that's all we really know. We do need to find out what the effect on climate is - but the alarmists ignoring that the sun's inactivity allowing more gcr's and...

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    csd72 (Structural) 27 Apr 09 14:10 Ive read the term 'global warming' many times in this thread. The Scientists no longer use this term as they now realise that some areas may actually get colder, they now use the term 'climate change'. Correct. They now claim almost any weather excursion...

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    Population growth combined with decreasing arable land area is a prescription for disaster many times bigger than "lose only thousands". Until we get population growth under control, nothing else is important. It may be that the enhancement of crop growth due to increased CO2 will give us a...

    HMA aggregate size and gradation design

    Are you talking about above or below the 0.45 power curve?

    Here's something new about the source of "Global Warming" hype: http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/02/carbon_regulation_one_scientis.html

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    Climate is cooling this century. Look at the satellite temps, which are the only ones without subjective adjustments. Also, here's something new from Japan Society of Energy and Resources: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/25/jstor_climate_report_translation/print.html Summary Three of...

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    TGS4 - Those are very good questions. First off, mankind has always thrived under warm conditions. When the globe cools is when we have starvation etc. If it were not for the Holocene we would still be living in caves or in Africa. Secondly, the temperature record began at the coldest time...

    Wall Construction

    I agree with born2drill. Soil Nails or permanent soldier piles. You might leave it to a design build contractor though. Depending on where you are a local contractor of one kind or another might have significantly lower mobilization costs. It's a small wall, leave it up to the market...

    Here's a good link on climate models, and Realclimate to boot: http://climatesci.org/2009/01/29/real-climate-suffers-from-foggy-perception-by-henk-tennekes/

    That's why I think most objective people consider satellites the only reliable source of data.

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    Hmmm. I wonder if "climate disruption" will convince people that weather itself (which *is* "climate disruption") is caused by man and we need to donate even more to the collection plate of the carbon broker preachers. No doubt, since there is more weather coverage now than ever before and...

    "Educated" opinions on climate change - Part 3

    I was requested to elucidate my objections to Holdren's work here: http://belfercenter.ksg.harvard.edu/files/uploads/2007_11-6_Forum_(NXPowerLite).pdf and thought I'd post up some comments, in case b2theory or anyone else wants to actually talk about the subject. P 5 Uses Hansen's...

    the affects to groundwater caused from sand mining

    What civilperson says is true - I was thinking you were dewatering. Sounds like a new pit in Irwindale or something (?)
