POPSJUNK SCIENCE revisited There are no common physical laws between the warming phenomenon in glass houses and the fictitious atmospheric greenhouse effects, (b) there are no calculations to determine an average surface temperature of a planet, (c) the frequently mentioned difference of 33 degrees Celsius is a meaningless number calculated wrongly, (d) the formulas of cavity radiation are used inappropriately, (e) the assumption of a radiative balance is unphysical, (f) thermal conductivity and friction must not be set to zero, the atmospheric greenhouse conjecture is falsified.

POPSAre Humans Brighter Than The Sun "Both humans and the Sun are pretty close to being such radiators, and it’s not too bad to just assume they’re blackbodies. " I quite like the inquiry of this article... and the humour of the pic as well :lol:

POPSCalifornia Businesses Buzzing With Solar Energy Innovations
In the area of green technology, California has a natural leadership role to play, and it appears that a few companies are taking leadership stands in the area of solar energy. The first such company is Solar Reserve, Santa Monica, C. Solar Reserve has a 25 year contract to supply energy to about 75,000 homes by using solar radiation-catching mirrors to heat molten salt to over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. I have cliped a diagram of the system used by Solar Reserve below, which is one I had not heard of. Another company is First Solar, Blythe, CA. On December 21, 2009, First Solar opened the largest photovoltaic power station in California, which the company plans to replicate in order to expand its utility business. I have clipped a picture of the solar panels being installed under the sweltering heat of California's desert climate. The third company is Solyndra, Fremont, CA, which has recently filed to go public in order to raise $300 million for its specially-designed, fl

POPSImmunoglobulin? | See this Amplification My COH doctors have ordered an IVIG procedure for me as an outpatient on January 6. This clip gives a little amplification about what this procedure means to patients with immune system issues following various forms of cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, and stem cell transplants, of of which I have had.

POPSMyJournal | New Blog | 21 Dec 2009
HERE is the link to the newly published iMac and iWeb version of MyJournal blog, my account of the events and times since my March 2006 diagnosis with mantle cell lymphoma. As we approach Christmas 2009, Dee Dee and I are excited to report that we are officially back in remission (a second time) thanks to the TomoTherapy radiation in September at City of Hope. We continue with our 6-month medical leave until March 1 and we are due to start two forms on infusion in January. Both are detailed in the links below. According to my COH doctors, the combination of these will boost my immune system and keep the cancer at bay. Since my medical leave began at the end of August, we have also enjoyed freedom from the constant respiratory and bronchial issues that marked the last year. This newfound state of well being may largely be due to our self-enforced isolation from most public contact, in part justified by the H1N1 scare. After an unexpected delay, I was finally able to get m

POPSSeven Answers to Climate Contrarian Nonsense Although CO2 makes up only 0.04 percent of the atmosphere, that small number says nothing about its significance in climate dynamics. Even at that low concentration, CO2 absorbs infrared radiation and acts as a greenhouse gas, as physicist John Tyndall demonstrated in 1859. The chemist Svante Arrhenius went further in 1896 by estimating the impact of CO2 on the climate; after painstaking hand calculations he concluded that doubling its concentration might cause almost 6 degrees Celsius of warming—an answer not much out of line with recent, far more rigorous computations. Contrary to the contrarians, human activity is by far the largest contributor to the observed increase in atmospheric CO2. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, anthropogenic CO2....click link for more.
