Change in average global temperature from 1880 to 2014 - Nasa

This is a fun fact: "Mars is essentially in the same orbit [as Earth]....Mars is somewhat the same distance from the sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe." - Dan Quayle, former vice president, commenting on President George H.W. Bush's Space Exploration Initiative as quoted in This New Ocean by William E. Burrows. So spelling 'potato' as 'potatoe' was not the worst of his disconnects with the real world. Thank goodness _he_ wasn't the politician who invented the Internet; it would never work! John Savard |

What is wrong with this diagram I am cruelly forced to accept? http://sureshemre.files.wordpress.co..._solar_day.gif It has only two circles in it. It should have a third circle, just slightly displaced from the top one, for 11:56, since the Earth doesn't stop moving in its orbit for the extra 3 minutes and 56 seconds in a day, compared to a rotation. In fact, a mistake like that could confirm Oriel36 in his delusions, since what it seems to be saying in that respect _is_ properly regarded as absurd. John Savard |

You were the first in your kindergarten class to put your hand up and shout out the answer when the teacher asked the kiddy in the desk next to you, weren't you? Wasn't "cruelly forced to accept" enough clue for you? I am sure that Oriel won't cheat and copy his answer, if he does deign to reply to you. Or copy my answer, for that matter. John Savard |

It has all the clarity of seeing a skull in a coal vein Sadly, that is more applicable to your explanations of your concept of what astronomy should be. Like Ed Conrad, you are tilting at windmills by attempting to contradict what patient hard work of dedicated scientists has built up over the years. John Savard |

The answer is,of course ,1037.5 miles per hour hence the Earth turns its 24901 mile circumference in 24 hours. Thank you for presenting the figures. This saves me from looking them up. Based on your data, with the Earth turning its 24,901 mile circumference in 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds, its equatorial speed of motion is 1040.4 miles per hour. John Savard |

John Savard To give Quayle the benefit of the doubt, he may have meant that Mars may have water. In which case it can be split into its components of oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen can be used in an artificial atmosphere which would allow an astronaut to breathe. However, pure oxygen would be extremely hazardous and would also kill the astronaut if it does not have nitrogen mixed with it. Uncaoxygen |

You should all learn about how the 24 hour system and the Lat/Long system emerged from first principles of astronomy so that I wouldn't have to wake up to another day in a world where none of these things are known and appreciated. |

Interesting chart: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ta...LB.Ts+dSST.txt Have you been able to get your net CO2 emissions down to near zero? If not, have you been able to get your CO2 emissions down to the target amount of two tons per year? If not, how about the world per-capita average of five tons? If not, why are you posting that link? Are you expecting someone else to take up your slack? |
