Operation Rumor Has It - Part 6 (Final)
Posted by Harvey at 11:06 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (8)

The last of the Operation Rumor Has It letters for your reading pleasure.

New mission on Tuesday morning.



Dear WE, thanks for leading the war (can I say war is that to neocon?) on climate abuse. I would like to share my idea on how we can solve the growing climate crisis. I have a four slice toaster, but I only like one piece of toast in the morning. So what I do is cook four pieces at a time and I eat the rest during the week. Sure the toast may be cold going down my stomach, but the warmth in my heart knowing I am doing something productive makes it worth it. I have shared my idea with some of my "Rethuglican" associates (These are only associates, not my friends) and they claim that they like their toast hot. Typical "Repukelican" response don't ya think. There was one time however that I did have to cook an extra piece of toast one week. When I tell you why I am sure you will understand. One morning as I was about to eat my piece of cold toast I noticed an image on the toast that looked remarkably like the best Vice President of all time Al Gore. Certainly I could not eat that piece of toast. I have it framed now and it looking at it gives me inspiration. I hope my idea inspires you all.

Sincerely

Earth Lover



I'm so glad a group like yours is fighting the good fight aganst those who want to destroy this planet for their own profit. Speaking of which, I realised something today. The oil barons and the scum politicians in their pockets have fought every energy innovation for the last 100 years, and have even squashed a number of free energy technologies. So why, after all that, are they willing to investigate hydrogen technology? Of course anyone who perfects it will make a ton of money, but the same could be said for any of the other alternative power sources they've killed. And than it hit me. It's true that burning hydrogen is clean, as far as co2 and carcinogens go, and you don't have to drill or blast for it, and it's completely nontoxic. But that doesn't mean it doesn't make exhaust. It produces water vapor. But everyone thinks, hey, water vapor, that's harmless! This is wonderful! But think about this, water vapor is literally hundreds of times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than co2. And all of the hydrogen that is burned will become water vapor, while only a tiny fraction of gasoline becomes co2. So hydrogen technology will put hundreds of times more greenhouse gasses into the air, and that gas is hundreds of times more potent! That's why these earth killers like hydrogen! If everything that burns oil products right now is converted to burn hydrogen instead, it will make global warming thousands of times worse, thousands of times faster! And they have everyone fooled! Not to mention the fact that millions of extra tons of water in the air will cause unnaturally heavy rain and storms over populated areas. And those bastards know it! Because why would they support this and not support any of the other clean energy technologies that they could have made money from?


End mission. Recall all agents for new assignment.

Lots of the Pajamas Media ads are showing house ads. Is Pajamas Media in trouble? What will happen to the bloggers if Pajamas Media goes out of business?

The second idea has already been used in a parody. See "Global Misting":

Maybe the new assignment should be covering global cooling, Harvey, brought on by dear old Sol:

Sun Makes History (DailyTech.com)

How do they say it in New England? Oh, yeah: "wicked!" It's gonna be a wicked winter. Cold enough to freeze manboobs, I wonder.

Elo,

It does look like all the Pajamas Media ads here are house ads. I bet they are going down fast.

Kos is so smart. Listen to this!

"Our people are doing the vetting. Even if some of it is hitting dead ends, other ones are striking direct hits," Moulitsas says. His role, he adds, "is to sit back and let the citizen journalists do their job, and I amplify the stuff that shakes out."

#3 - Jimmy,

I liked the Sun photo.
I copied it and made it my background graphic.
Thanks!
The article suggested that the lack of sunspots doesn't directly cool the planet, but the lack of magnetic pulses from the Sun allows more cosmic rays to increase cloud cover planet wide, leading indirectly to global cooling!
This raises several questions ...

1. How do they test that theory?
2. Do we increase Earth's magnetic field to compensate by all walking over carpets in our stocking feet at the same time?
3. Do we kill all the polar bears and fur seals to make parkas because it's gonna be cold?
4. Do we nuke Jupiter until it begins to spontaneously fuse hydrogen, forming a second star, aka that movie, 2016?
5. Or maybe we do nothing and let the world rebalance itself without our interference, like it's been doing for eons?

Finally, if the planet cools off, does Algore have to give his Nobel prize back?

Well, the planet is cooling, Captain. As difficult as it is to create a running average based on somewhat biased sensors world-wide, the lower troposphere had cooled .8 deg. C in the previous 1-1/2 years as of Spring, '08. As an interested reader of solar websites, I note also that the total incident solar radiation (short wave + visible + long wave) is down about 1 watt / sq.m. during this interval. So, it turns out there's more than one mechanism for sun-driven cooling.

I apologize since there's nothing funny about this. We could be entering one of those extended solar minimums. We just don't know. If we do, it will continue to cool down and I suspect world-wide food production will drop owing to shorter growing seasons at high latitudes (Canada, Northern Europe.)

#7 - Posted by: Jimmy on September 3, 2008 12:50 AM

No apology necessary, Science is good! Thanks.
