Hello I bookmarked this site. Thanks heaps for this!… if anyone else has anything, it would be much appreciated. Great website Super Pianoforte Links http://www.en.Grand-Pianos.org Enjoy!…

Yet again we shall address the issue quantitatively. We had certainly not wished to imply that the IPCC “has continually strengthened its statements”. On the contrary, as global temperatures fail to rise in line with the IPCC’s predictions (or, in the past 14 years, at all), the IPCC has been compelled – for the sake of retaining what little credibility it has left – to weaken its central estimate of the temperature response to a doubling of carbon dioxide concentration -

1995 report: “global warming” of 3.80 Celsius degrees
2001 report: “global warming” of 3.50 Celsius degrees
1995 report: “global warming” of 3.26 Celsius degrees.

How much further will the IPCC have to reduce its predictions before they begin to conform to observed reality?

BUT…

Why, after listening to them, do I feel like I’m about to don a khaki jumpsuit and be put to work by the Dharma Initiative?

Keep your powder dry, don’t forget to stock up on necessities brass

Next topic…

Totally unlike Dr. Carlin’s skeptical stance, these two are just as moronic as James Hansen and the rest at the EPA who ~think~ human CO2 has anything to do with global temperatures – without even the slightest hint of measurable PROOF to back it up.

I demand scientific PROOF that CO2 has ANY measurable impact on temperature and that there be ZERO legislation until such proof is presented and accepted as valid by the world scientific body at large, (not just the government and UN hacks whose pay checks rely on AGW.)

Stop this madness – CO2 is the number one BENFICIAL GAS on the planet and more of it would be better for all of us.

Hmm. And here I thought dissenting points of view were going to be “welcomed” within this admin? Apparently not:

I hear people spouting off all the time about the wonderful attributes of each one individually, and it is not that they are wrong, it is just the real benefit is if you can save real money. Today.

Another area not often discussed is if you are going to stay in the home you incorporate them into. If you are looking at 30 years or more in the home, sure you have time. If you are likely to be somewhere else in 5 years, well not so much.

The best time to incorporate them is obviously when you build. So the obvious place to really make a difference is by getting large home builders to adopt these methods. I think they will, slowly, adopt some techniques. Radiant flooring seems ot be the easiest for home builders to adopt early. I do not see major homebuilders concerning themselves with solar or wind. Community standards might be another area where you see large groups encouraging geo-thermal on new developments.

Likely though we are still at least 10-20 years from large scale adoption of these systems as the norm.

Although I cannot see why new city/state/federal buildings are not all using geo-thermal now going forward.

I checked out your website and I’m impressed. A very large project indeed.

Great link

That is the idea. To through real world solutions, live off the grid or as close as possible.

I have seen the the wood fired water boiler system in work and it works great. Although definately better in rural applications, due to size and wood requirements.
