Bob, I'm British and will smear Hadcrut by saying that The Meteorological Office is a department of The Ministry of Defence, and therefore puts out figures...
This is the very first paragraph of Monckton's response to Gavin Schmidt's demolition of Monckton's paper on climate sensitivity. For the second time, the...
Hi Maggie, actually those guys don't sound like they are just hedging their bets. They are beginning to sound more desperate than anything else. I am talking...
Bob, I don't know quite what to make of Monckton and really haven't explored much about him. Of course, we all know that Gavin Schmidt is not someone who would...
After all of the money that they spent on lobbying, I guess they are disappointed. Of course, that industry is taxpayer subsidized so some of that lobbying...
Oops. Sent it to the wrong group. Sorry. Bruce Richardson _____ From: climatesceptics@yahoogroups.com [mailto:climatesceptics@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
The AGW group must be getting really desperate. They're like the Catholic Church which on occasion tries to discourage their flock from seeing movies and...
The AIRS satellite is returning remarkable data on the nature of our atmosphere. In the process it is continuing the assault on the fantasy about the potency...
I can't follow any of this jibberish. How many people are speaking, and who are they? They sound like idiots, but it may be because of the muddle of voices. I...
Okay, here's some plain talk from Walter Cunningham. a physicist and a NASA astronaut: http://launchmagonline.com/index.php/Viewpoint/ Rich ... From: "David E....
Rich, are you too lazy to start a new thread by changing the subject line? What does it have to do with "More on Monckton's 'paper'? David, it is gibberish...
They've still got time to get this passed. Frankly I'll be surprised if it doesn't. Note that virtually every year it has passed its been part of a "Jobs Bill"...
We have global warming reporters now? I wonder if the reporter would have won the award with an equally well-written skeptical series? Most reporters...
Arthur, I stand corrected about coal. I just was thinking of fossil fuels as a group but coal is a bigger part of electrical generation and it hasn't gone up....
Its not surprising to me that this logic error is occuring so FREQUENTLY. Talking Heads are repeating this BIG LIE so often that its apparently catching on. ...
Arthur, So you don't believe a word of Picken's Plan? Certainly lots of new wind power can offset some NG which can be used in fleet transportation like buses...

Bob- There is always the fundamental problem of variability in wind. You wrote of electric tains (a good idea, basically, but a problem where there are...
Bob, I think that Pickens is pushing for the continuation of the tax credit on wind. Doesn't he already have a considerable investment in wind? I'm not talking...
I get a good laugh when I hear renewable energy sources can provide us with all the power we need. Here's the near latest data on power consumed by the US in...
I think Bob is a Deltoid fan. I can hardly find anything to agree with there. Climate Audit on the other hand has found quite convincingly that GISS has been...
Nope. As I pointed out before, Wind won't displace NG because typical NG plants only operate in the ~30% range as it is. Reason? Natural Gas is currently the...
Rich, You didn't hear "...renewable energy sources can provide us with all ... Ian, Don't be silly with your "train that slowed or halted at irregular...
Arthur, would it be correct to state that wind cannot replace natural gas because natural gas is already expensive and is being used mostly to quickly respond...

FWIW, taxis in Tokyo (and probably other large Japanese cities) use a substitute for gasoline, but I am not sure if it is compressed natural gas (CNG) or...
Ian, It is either silly or disengenuous, take your pick. You know that the grid has multiple inputs of more than just windpower. The HV grid supplies the...
