Wilson Cloud Chamber: Negative Feedback Against Agw by Clouds

Authors: Nige Cook
Comments: 12 Pages.

The lower the cosmic ray intensity, the greater the temperature: precisely what the Wilson cloud chamber mechanism predicts for cloud cover such as cirrus (around 15,000 feet). Cosmic rays boost Wilson cloud cover, increasing Earth’s albedo, cooling the planet. Calder’s “theory” of Wilson cloud chamber is not an opinion or a “speculative theory”, it’s a hard fact-based theory, going back to the earliest days of nuclear physics. The “error bounds” in the hockey stick curve are the fiddle. It’s true that global warming exists. What’s not true is the fiddles and fudges used to censor out the true extent of natural variations in order deliberately to correlate recent temperature rises simplistically to CO2 rises. Earth’s temperature fluctuates widely, but this has less effect on tree ring growth and ice sublimation than the IPCC believes, because as the air temperature goes up the cirrus cloud cover increases which partially cancels the increased growth of trees and the increased sublimation of ice (both of which depend on sunlight exposure to trees and ice, not just air temperature as the IPCC assume). Try saying this, and you are into classic taboo territory, in which it is socially nice to tell lies and pretend that CO2 is causing the temperature rise in the contrived hockey stick, which mashes together a horizontal line from tree ring proxies where naturally variable temperature swings are cancelled out by corresponding cloud cover variations, to more recent satellite data which shows a real temperature swing upward which isn’t seen in the tree ring proxy falsehood. There is a 50% chance of increasing or decreasing natural temperature swings, since a variable can increase or decrease with time (two possibilities). CO2 has an effect, but due to negative feedback (increased cloud cover to reflect sunlight away as the earth warms up), there is a thermostat in place which the IPCC exclude from the entire range of their climate models. The IPCC assumes (without evidence) that 100% of the temperature rise since satellite data arrived has been due to CO2 and related greenhouse gases. This is a pseudoscientific assumption.

Cheap Protection of New York City and New Jersey from Storm

Authors: Alexander Bolonkin
Comments: 12 Pages.

Textile storm surge barriers, sited at multiple locations, are literally extensions of the city’s world famous urban fabric—another manifestation of the dominance of the man-made city over local Nature. Textile Storm Surge Barriers (TSSB) are intended to preserve the City from North Atlantic Ocean hurricanes that cause sea waves impacting the densely populated and high-value real estate, instigating catastrophic, and possibly long-term, infrastructure and monetary losses. Complicating TSSB installation macro-project planning is the presence of the Hudson and other rivers, several small tidal straits, future climate change and other factors. We conclude that TSSB installations made of homogeneous construction materials are worthwhile investigating because they may be less expensive to build, and more easily replaced following any failure, than concrete and steel storm surge barriers, which are also made of homogeneous materials. We suppose the best macro-project outcome will develop in the perfect Macro-engineering planning way and at the optimum time-of-need during the early-21st Century by, among other groups, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. TSSB technology is a practical advance over wartime harbor anti-submarine/anti-torpedo steel nets and rocky Churchill Barriers used in the UK.

Recent Data Show no Weakening of the Walker Circulation

Authors: David R.B. Stockwel, Anthony Cox
Comments: 16 Pages. First published 2009/8/27 at Landshape.org (http://landshape.org/enm/files/2011/01/walkerarticle.pdf)

Various authors have examined the strength of the equatorial Pacific overturning known as the Walker Circulation in both climate models and observations, attributing a generalized weakening to anthropogenic global warming. Here we review the analysis in Power and Smith [2007] using updated Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and NINO sea surface temperature indices. We find no significant long-term changes in the indices, although the SOI appears to have recovered from an anomalously low period from 1976 to 1998. The increasing sea surface temperature in the NINO4 region is not significant, nor representative of other NINO regions. The findings of a weakening Walker circulation appear to be premature, and the corresponding climate model projections cannot be substantiated at this time. The reports of weakening of horizontal atmospheric circulation in climate models should be regarded as an inconsistency and not as an indicator of anthropogenic climate change.
