nanoprobe I am sure you are right the years are now flying by
----------------------------------------I'm sure it's because a year becomes a less significant part of your life Going from being aged 1 to aged 2 feels like a lifetime because it was. Going from 45 to 46 not such a big deal School clocks certainly ran alot slower than the clock does now in the morning between me draging myself out of bed and presenting myself at work All of which brings us to the Global Thermometer result for April 2011. <drum roll please> After over 7.7 million individual hourly temperature readings from Afghanistan through to Yeman we now have 4 figures for our baseline January 2011 1.44C Febuary 2011 2.90C March 2011 6.98C April 2011 12.26C It looks like this (for an expanded view follow this link here) ![]() As you can see it is an unmitigated man made disaster unfolding before our very eyes..... ![]() ![]() |

CET 4-2011: 11.8°C. Rank: 1/353
----------------------------------------Warmest April in this series was in 2011. Average last 12 months: 9.63 °C. In the UK after the 2nd coldest December in 352 years we have the warmest April in at least the last 353 I have been lucky enough to capture both on the Global Thermometer ![]() December 2010 5.3C below the 1961-90 average April 2011 3.8C above the 1961-90 average Yin and Yang Here in the UK we have had a very dry start to the year I am expecting at any moment for the UK media and the Met Office to shout "Drought!!" before the newsprint has dried the heavens will open and it won't stop raining for the next 18 months, like last time. The equilibrium is maintained Dave ![]() |

You couldn't make it up
----------------------------------------http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/may/01/centrica-threatens-shut-morecambe-gas This increased revenue take (which we will pay for indirectly) was to reduce our petrol fuel duty by 1p/litre which means we now pay "only" £1.35-9/litre which is $8.47 per gallon US.....bargain ;-) Crunching like crazy while I still can Dave ![]() |

What about Climate Change
----------------------------------------So what is the story on global warming? Is it man made or is it a natural occurring cyclic thing caused by sunspot activity?. An inconvenient truth about a book written by Al Gore with the same title reveals that he relies on the conclusions of a survey by history instructor Naomi Oreokes. In the survey she cherry picked 928 papers taken from what is reported to be respected scientific journals and claims that this represents the “universe of scientific literature.” Actually, about eleven thousand articles were available at the time and the 928 papers represent less than one-tenth of them. A closer look at the 928 papers reveals that they do not even mention man made global warming, let alone confirm the alarm of the drastic conclusions of the environmentalists project. Most of the papers did not produce any conclusions at all. Some merely assumed that rising CO2 levels from burning hydrocarbons would affect climate without any research findings. A British scientist states that only 13 of the papers actually fit the “consensus‘ ” view. When we blindly accept the theory of Man made Climate Change we come to flawed conclusions, the result of which has been spending billions of dollars unnecessarily on inconvenient lifestyle altering changes. The truth is this; it is all about control. Proponents of global warming are intent on regulating everything in our lives, based upon unproven science. This is not only something that will happen in the future, it is already present in the form of Sustainable Development espoused through county and city Comprehensive Plans. |

Some people are idiots
----------------------------------------http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/healt...nd-leukaemia-2280342.html Their reasoning.... The scientists found just 20 cases between 1969 and 2004 among children living within 5km of a nuclear power plant, and 430 cases of the disease in children living within 25km ---- area of a circle pi * radius squared ---- Area of a 5Km radius circle 78.54 sq kms 20 cases 1 case per 3.93 sq km Area of a 25km radius circle 1963.49 sq km 430 cases 1 case per 4.56 sq km therefore the closer you live to an operational nuclear plant the more likely the incidence of leukaemia and other cancers The maths does not lie Journalists and Scientists with vested interests do to enable Governments to continue to support the unsupportable Dave ![]() |
