Letter: Wind power will not work in Ohio | mansfieldnewsjournal.com

Hundreds of families in Champaign and Logan counties were distressed, although not surprised, to see the Dayton media uncritically accept and print the wind industry's unsupportable claims for Ohio. A coal-dependent state that ranks 36th out of 50 states in wind resources cannot address climate change with wind. A technology that, at best, produces only 25 percent of its rated capacity in Ohio (and dramatically less during summer peak demand) cannot affordably or reliably meet the needs of Ohio industry. Yet, the media spurs on the uneducated -- admiring the emperor's new clothes in a blind acceptance worthy of a Bernie Madoff investor.

Before consigning many rural Ohio families, thousands of square miles of habitat and numerous endangered species to an impoverished life in an industrial wasteland, we ask that the media support one principle: transparency.

Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr. Research Group News » Is There Climate Heating In “The Pipeline”?

...there has been no heating of the upper ocean since mid-2003. Moreover, there has been no heating within the troposphere (e.g. see Figure 7 of the RSS MSU data).

Thus, there is no “warming in the pipeline” using the author’s terminology, nor any heating within the atmosphere! Perhaps the heating that was observed prior to 2003 will begin again, however, it is scientifically incorrect to report that there is any heat that has not yet been realized within the climate system.

The answer to the question posted in this weblog “Is There Climate Heating In “The Pipeline”? is NO.
