climate change times are a changin'

Re: climate change times are a changin'

“Scientists at the Climate and Environmental Physics and Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Berne in Switzerland have recently backed up theories that support the sun's importance in determining the climate on Earth.”

The sun? Affecting … earth? You can't put nothin' past those Swiss.

What's next? Some crazy notion that the moon and tides are related?

That lost me at "Global temperatures have declined since the 1940s".

Well it is an "opinion" piece and as we all know, all opinions are equal. Even when they don't come with a single citation. There's also a mention of climate-gate, that thing that showed absolutely none of the manipulation that still gets claimed to exist.

In the press release, we didn’t say anything about climate change. My guess is when they heard about Maunder minimum, they used Wikipedia or something to find out more about it.

Re: climate change times are a changin'

Finally, the prospect of a green technology that, if it works, actually would be relatively inexpensive and relatively far more efficient than the ones that have been losing millions of dollars of government loans while killing birds by the thousands....

http://www.economist.com/news/scien...scure-piece-physics-may-be-secret-ocean-power

THE idea of extracting energy from ocean waves and turning it into electricity is an alluring one....the latest attempt...is trying to address head-on the reason why previous efforts have foundered.

This reason ... is that those efforts took technologies developed for landlubbers (often as components of wind turbines) and tried to modify them for marine use. The consequence was kit too complicated and sensitive for the rough-and-tumble of life on the ocean waves, and also too vulnerable to corrosion.

Instead of generators with lots of moving parts, Oscilla is developing ones that barely move at all. These employ a little-explored phenomenon called magnetostriction, in which ferromagnetic materials (things like iron, that can be magnetised strongly) change their shape slightly in the presence of a magnetic field. Like many physical processes, this also works in reverse. Apply stresses or strains to such a material and its magnetic characteristics alter. Do this in the presence of permanent magnets and a coil of wire, such as are found in conventional generators, and it will generate electricity.

When did The Onion start writing for the President?

From the White House website:

you go down to Miami, and when it’s flooding at high tide on a sunny day and fish are swimming through the middle of the streets

Somehow, I think the Miami news would have been all over a story like that.


and people wonder why there is suspicion about climate change zealotry gone too far? Fish swimming down the streets of Miami???

Re: climate change times are a changin'

I just saw one Fox Cretin say "climate change is settled science." He's not getting invited back. To his credit, the other Fox Cretin immediately said, "what's settled about it?," so maybe he'll hold his job.

I also heard the editor of the National Review on POTUS say "we went to the moon and I can't believe we're saying we can't handle the world getting a little warmer." So I suppose that's progress: they've gone from "it doesn't exist" to "it's no big deal."

Too bad reality doesn't give a crap what energy company shills say.

I'll infer from this non sequitur that I correctly picked the article from which you stole your talking point. But you're not a shill for Murdoch at all...

There are all sorts of problems when you build next to the ocean. Hurricanes being the biggest but not the only problem.

And yet he by accident is closer to be right than you will ever be. Have your creator fix the algorithm your bot is broken.

You're arguing with a bot that disgorges the contents of the Comment section of townhall.com, so who's really broken here? ;)
 
Re: climate change times are a changin'

Why do people still actually believe this hoax? It's just a ploy to turn a first-world country into a third-world country by attacking its energy.
