A recent sketch in the Wall Street Journal showing the then-projected path of storm Rita also depicted the locations (maybe hundreds) of oil rigs in the northwestern and central Gulf waters. Consider the burn off heat of unusable volitiles and probable use the Gulf waters to cool their oil production equipment (and A/C). That 85 degrees F Gulf water heat had to come from them as well as old Sol. You are lacking a sense of proportion: do the calculation and you will see that these effects are trivial on such a large body of water.

Because lawyers, enviros, and their lackey scientists haven't yet
figured a way to make Sol pay for their dinners. It's so much easier when you can blame a large company, or even better, wealthy governments for all of the problems.

Why is it that no one here has a firm handle on the amount of radiation that reaches the Earth each year. We keep careful record of rainfall, of degree-days for heating and cooling, but NO ONE ever quotes numerically the solar influx daily, monthly, or yearly. We need one percent precision. Cowards all!

This at the time when the Sun seems to be behaving in an uncharacteristic way and providing a late solar minimum 'maximum'. Any chance that the Earth (closer to the Sun) might be suffering from the same effects? (OK, I know, greenhouse effect and all) Why is it that no one ever discusses the quantitative radiation level from the sun at our location? Because that would imply they were real scientists who were working in this area of research. I presume they generally have better things to do than to hang out with a bunch of thick-headed amateur astronomers who wish to argue about things they in fact know little about! :-) -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer Cloudcroft, New Mexico, USA (33N, 106W, 2700m) SkyTools: http://www.skyhound.com/cs.html Observing: http://www.skyhound.com/sh/skyhound.html Comets: http://www.skyhound.com/sh/comets.html To reply have a physician remove your spleen |

It is therefore entirely credible that a (natural) rise in global
temperature has resulted in less efficient photosynthesis to the extent that atmospheric CO2 levels have risen, thus providing the correlation that is observed between human CO2 production, atmospheric CO2 increase and global temperature increase. I did say something to the extent that an alternative explanation would need to be very convincing. That isn't, but it would be a rather boring post about statistics over the last few hundred years to comment on it. Still it should be easy to test the changing efficiency of photosynthesis because for example the temperature in my garden varies daily by some orders of magnitude more than the rise in Earth temperature. The oil and energy companies can carry on coming up with hypotheses to test for ever. Incidentally, it is not actually strictly correct to refer to 'natural' rises in global temperature. Something causes it, and there is nothing unnatural about people burning things. |

In greenhouse raising, they actually burn gas, just to get more CO2 and higher production. |
