Did 'Whale Wars' Leader Sink Boat for Publicity? - NYTimes.com

News reports are probing whether Paul Watson, who has turned a longstanding anti-whaling campaign into popular television entertainment with “Whale Wars,” ordered the intentional sinking of a million-dollar protest boat after it was damaged in a collision with a Japanese vessel early this year.

What surface temperature is your model really predicting?

The surface temperature that we need for atmospheric radiative transfer calculations is the ground temperature. This means the temperature of the ground under our bare feet. The temperature used in the climate record is the meteorological surface air temperature (MSAT).

And Roy concludes "The energy transfer processes that set the ground surface temperature have been considered in detail. The increase in downward ‘clear sky’ LWIR flux from a 100 ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is 1.7 W.m-2. When this flux is added to a total surface flux that can vary from +1000 to –100 W.m-2 within a few hours, the CO2 flux can have no measurable effect on the ground temperature or the resulting MSAT."

EU Referendum: Dellers calls out Moonbat

So that leaves Moonbat working for a tawdry rag that has long since ceased to be a newspaper and is now the front for environmental campaigning groups. No wonder he is so silent, presumably hoping the "splattergate" controversy will die down so that he can creep out from under his stone and pretend it all never happened.

California, where the graft is greener « Green Hell Blog

But while the school district is “saving” millions in electricity bills (who knows how the “savings” were actually calculated), federal and state taxpayers will be paying for this scam, including a 22-cents-per-kilowatt-hour subsidy from the state-run California Solar Initiative. While it apparently is illegal for school districts to get federal funding for such projects directly, the project will evade the law by using PsomasFMG as the subsidy recipient. Try a scheme like that at home with, say, federal tax or election laws and see in which federal prison you land!
