So, how's it coming, Paul? Can you give us some kind of update? There's only a couple of weeks remaining.

Sea ice is still on path to complete destruction by September 30th, 2012. In the beginning of August two different cyclones merged to form one massive cyclone that had maximum ice destruction on August 7th. This cyclone churned up and mec...
hanically ripped up the ice, brought warm salty water up from depth to increase melting, and exported huge amounts of ice out into the Atlantic Ocean. A further cyclone cause additional destruction which peaked on August 19th. Since then the "normal" ice flow patterns consisting of the Beaufort Gyre and Trans-polar Drift have been exporting large quantiities of ice out into the Atlantic via the Fram Strait north of Greenland... details here in my new presentation:

You figure this justifies exporting a small nuclear power plant to Mars and leaving it there forever?Originally posted by Bob Gillanders View PostGary, there are no gas stations on Mars! :D
By the way, those have to be refueled from time to time. They have a 2 year time on the rover so I would assume the refueling period to be 2 years earth time.

Gary, there are no gas stations on Mars! :DOriginally posted by Gary Ruben View PostThere doesn't seem to be any outcry over the nuclear powered rover they recently landed on Mars. I assume it's nuclear powered like a nuclear submarine. I wonder why it's necessary to spread nuclear devices to other planets.

On the bright side, those that know how to play the game, despite not subscribing to the religious hysteria surrounding AGW are able to do well by structuring their proposals for research in such a way as to indicate that their piece of research might be applicable to climate change in some way. Unless you are a tenured professor, you can't afford to be seen as a skeptic even if that reflects your real views.Originally posted by Garvin Nunes View PostHave you guys discussed the following controversy where a European scientist was publically crucified for showing dissent on environmental isues?

I am a person who basically "buys in" to the idea that man caused global warming but it also greatly bothers me that scientists who do wish to debate some aspect of this issue do have their tenure threatened and their papers blocked from the best journals.

I second that emotion. Nothing like dismissal of opinion by occupation. :)Originally posted by Zeljko Kitich View PostYou are a bit out of date there but I share your sentiment.
Kind of like climate change. If you put your hands in your pockets and all you feel is nuts, you probably don't understand the situation.

That's a good example of the kind of lack of independent thinking, call everyone else a troll comment I'm trying to avoid. Now I see what independent thinkers are up against. Onward ho.

It is very clear to me that you know what you are talking about. You are to be commended for withstanding the attack of the trolls on this site - it is clear to me they don't know what they are talking about. As a lifelong student of a number of disciplines I have had to discard the writings of the know-nots. Some of us remember the prolific output in chess literature by one Fred Reinfeld.
Please continue to ignore the barbs of the Fred Reinfelds of the global warming discussion. They only make themselves appear fools with their comments.
Thank you for your input on ChessTalk.
