David There is a simple exercise anyone can do to establish a moon effect, and it was a cornerstone discovery for me back in the 1970s. It is the potency of...

Ken, If you have a mathematical model (not just a computational procedure) of the sun-moon-weather physics, then let's see the basic equations. Is it a...
David Your post is confusing, sorry. Are you maintaining that without an equation-rich mathematical model, science cannot exist so by definition only...

Ken, we are talking about physics which is a well defined and mathematically rich field. There is a lot of work done on statistical analysis of sun-climate...

Ken, It IS a club ... often an old boy's club, but it's never gender-specific. Which is why plate tectonics took so long to be accepted. Not sure which...

Al, Plate tectonics was accepted because of the discovery of alternating bands of magnetisim in that crust, which demonstrated sea floor spreading from the...
So, when the science (and applied science) are under the custody of a bureaucracy, the bureaucracy's core goal is to protract the work. Their big fear is that...

Ian, this is a very strong claim. Where do you know of this happening? I happen to track the USDOE Office of Science, which has custody of (ie, funds) $4...
Thanks Bob, very interesting. It seems to be all a matter of concatenating periodic cycles. The basic problem here begins with the Fourier transform. It shows...
Well if not unrealistic, at least at the outer edge of plausibility, and keep in mind that many people forget that the process will take hundreds of years to...

Good point, Walt. We can call the hypothesis that CO2 will increase the upper bound of the chaotic temperature oscillation "chaotic AGW." (Let's not forget...
Welcome, SS. Al was kidding of course, so I hope you are too. Australia is probably not warmed much by the Gulf Stream. Plus I think the whole Ice Age in...
