From: spudnik on 10 Jun 2010 21:32 children shouldn't be taught alleged facts about climate, which is a speculative arena largely governed by "computer science;" why do most computer scientists know no numbertheory? thus&so: cap&trade is as old as Waxman's '91 bill under HDubya, and the editors of the WSUrinal just love it; however, they refer to Waxman's current bill as "cap&tax," without ever explaining, why. (see my letter to Rep. Hamilton, belowsville .-) thus&so: really; my city promotes all green stuff, in cooperation, I suppose, with the WAND Corp., and also "global" warming. they just had two authors of a book, _Smoke and Mirrors_, at the library, who use the tobacco science baddies to demonize the "global" warming deniers. they just had an editorial in the LAtribcoTIMES, and they dyssed S. Fred Singer, as per usual with mainstream GCMers -- which is mostly what they are, not really AGWers. look at Singer's retrospective metastudy on glaciers, please; thank *you*. thus&so: Schroedinger's cat is dead; long-live Schroedinger's cat! thus&so: I tried the 3D glasses, the other day, and it was really weird, *without* closing one eye in the mirror; makes one's eye's look flat & glassy. (I assumed, UA wasn't using the red & blue kind.) thus&so: how does the "gravity swing" differ essentially from the radiometer, if both are just pendula? how does merely asserting the error of Lorent's contraction, which seems quite reasonable to those of us, who believe that atoms have angular momentum, mean that you have disproven special relativity? > I don't see how e = hf applies where there may be no atomic absorption. > >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure Dear Rep. Lee (http://centeroncongress.org): Californians are at fault, probably being User #1 of Gulf oil & gas via pipelines ... all because of spill off of Santa Barbara in '68. Now, A.G. Brown is determined not to drill, at all. (Also, the offloading facilities in the Delta must have contributed greatly to the problems with Katrina.) Look; oil comes out of the ground, by itself, under pressure. Perhaps it was a Natl.Geo. article on offshore driiling, showed that approx. one XXValdez/year seeps (organically) from the bottom of the Gulf -- while "we" are pumping like crazy. British P. is the #1 operator in the Gulf and Alaska; maybe, their USA ops should be nationalized. The WSUrinal often likens Waxman's bill to "cap&tax," but as far as I know (and as Rep. Waxman seemed to admit, in our brief conversation) it is just "let the arbitrageurs and daytrippers make as much money on our energy, as they can." An expert on emmissions at a UCLA forum agreed that a small carbon tax would achieve the same ends, but that "that is politically impossible." The Urinal also noted-in-passing that a tax would work, but that was in a guest editorial, promoting cap&trade ... the same as the Kyoto Protocol, which Dubya'd have signed, if he knew that it was just "free trade, free beer & freedom in the free market." And, it is the same as Waxman's '91 cap&trade bill on NOX and SO2, viz acid rain. So, how did it go, then, and who made the money? --Sincerely, Brian Hutchings |
