    Why worry about global warming?

    My maths is far too rusty for that. I would have to integrate the momentum of the earth and equate it to the momentum of the earth with a slightly expamded radius. I don't think I ever had the paitence for that evn if my maths was once good enough ( which it probibly was not). You seem to be...

    Why worry about global warming?

    Other things do but they should average out. Wind that blows more east one day blows more west the next. There is the effect of the moon on tides slowly reducing the spin rate but there should be a significat change in it if the oceans of the world are growing.

    Why worry about global warming?

    Take the glass, fill it with water, put some ice in it so that the water flows over the side but not so much that the ice touches the bottom. Let the ice melt. The result will be that the water level does not change. The water level will only change if the ice was being supported by the floor...

    Why worry about global warming?

    Strange when I look at the map I read it as the green areas are showing gain in ice in both 2005 and 2008. There is an easy way to measure the change in sea level. Day length. If ice melts and moves from the poles to the ocean to be spread around the globe at sea level it will, due to the...

    Does Science Contradict Young Earth Creationism?

    There are two areas in Young Earth Creationism that Science claims that they can falsify. First Science says the days in Gen 1 are not 24 hour days. That is why over 200 years ago they came out with Old Earth Creationism to deal with this issue. Second Science says that Noah's flood could not...

    Astronomers consider a new moon theory

    AV1611VET , I have in my time played Dungeons and Dragons and various other role-playing games. There are lots of made up religions in these various fantisy worlds used to set the games in. They are completly fictional. Often they have much better mythologies than the bible.

    Ask a physicist anything. (6)

    He is talking about the mathamatical idea of rotating the concept of the triangle or whatever. Picture a TV program about say a new bridge being built and the show goes into a computer graphic which shows how the foundations work in respect to the ground. The bridge is not going any where...

    Why worry about global warming?

    The basic idea of using a graph to predict future melting is silly beyond the next few years. As the temperature warms up the snow line moves up in altitude. Because it has got a little warmer the ice front will move up a little. The change is 100m per degree. The sensable calculation is the...

    Coming Soon To America

    The nations which are in trouble at the moment :- Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy are there mostly because they have extreemly protective labour markets. The ability to sack workers in those countries is almost not there. As a result nobody will hire new staff. Same in France. It's not the...

    Thermal expansion:- The change in volume of water due to the change in it's temperature. The change in water temperature will be dictated by the change in air temperature and the amout of thermal energy availble to do it. This is why the concept of thermal forcing is so important. How...

    Why worry about global warming?

    The theory of gravitational lensing predicts exactly what we see. We can tell how far a galaxy is away from lots of means. However, to keep it simple; Amdromeda is our nearest neiboughing galaxy. We have phots of it from 100 years ago. We can see how far it has rotated in those 100 years. We...

    Why worry about global warming?

    Chalnoth, The problem with the site you sent me to is that whilst I understand easily the previous one this is not at all understandable by me. I know I am not a great scientist but when I can understand one lot and the other refutes them with stuff that smells of bull I come to a conclusion...

    Why worry about global warming?

    Chalnoth, I would use the quote option but I does not work when it contains a link. From the climate congress link. Page 9. The total melt rate of Greenland is shown as 600Gt (600 cubic kilometers) over 5 years. At that rate this, if it does not reach a new stability point as the effects...

    Why worry about global warming?

    The same gravitational lensing has been seen, lots, of far away galaxies causing the light of even further away galaxies to be bent around them. Far distant galaxies rotate the same as this one does. The rate of rotation can only be understood with the same theories that work here. Stars in...

    After the Oslo bombing, will Norwegians repent?

    I have recieved notices telling me that by posting things not liked by christians my posts have been deleted and that I am causing offence. How offensive do you think you are being by telling people that their 13 year old daughter, a good kid, "deserved to die, it was God's will, he considered...
