Here is a nice little table that shows to just what extent the IPCC rellies on peer-reviewed literature.
The claim that the IPCC relies on the peer-reviewed literature is a farce.
Here is a nice little e-mail from IPCC lead author and head of the climate research unit Dr. Phil Jones on the science behind the 2 degrees Celsius number of the IPCC
No the IPCC does one better and cites world wildlife fund baseless propaganda.
"The Himalayan glaciers could melt completely by the year 2035"
Where did that come from?
I'm assuming its a grounded delta system. In that case the relays should open, attempt to re-close, then lock out the entire circuit.
If its not grounded then the faulted phase will go to 0 volts and the other phases will go from 277V phase to ground to 480V. Any motors on these phases may fail.
I dont care if you like it or not but that is what happened. There was a huge influx into universities to avoid the draft. This created a professional glut of engineers. HR departments have been spoiled by this glut. For decades they have simply poached engineers from other companies rather than...
Argumentum ad Populum
If you claim to accept science why do you reject the best temperature measurements we have in the satellites? You seem more than willing to throw out science that doesn't agree with your conclusion. I'll give you a simple explanation of why I think the satellites are...
The H1B issue is its own issue. And there is a demographic shift coming. Boomers who hid from Vietnam in school are retiring. The glut of engineers is coming to an end.
You've got to document everything, all missed calls, all communication, what was said, how long etc. etc. etc.
Set up a spreadsheet with all appropriate fields.
I dont think alarmists really care if science loses. As Rconnor said this is really about "tearing down the capitalist zeitgeist". Of course when pressed for examples of good environmental stewardship of true socialist countries or almost socialist countries such examples are really hard to...
I do believe that there needs to be a renewed focus on STEM. Too much public money goes into what is really daycare for young adults. College should be primarily for STEM. If you aren't college material then money should be allocated for more trade schools, not communications degrees etc etc etc.
I interpreted it as he does not want to connect, not that there is no grid. I have yet to find an economical mix that yields n-1 contingency especially when taking time value of money analysis into account. Its simply cheaper to use the grid in the event of failure and pay the cost than it is to...
I've done some analysis (masters project) and could never find an n-1 solution that was economical. Bottom line IMHO its simply better to use the grid in event of unit failure and pay the ratchet than to endure the extra cost of installing an n-1. You would be better off simply investing the money.
I've read what you have written. There is very little you haven't posted before. I have already hacked the same arguments to pieces in your previous threads. But there is freedom of speech in this world and no one can stop you from spamming the same false claims over and over again.
Example...
Protective grounding is a redundant protection. It is not meant to be the protection. A lineman in my city got hit last year with both sides of his clearance "grounded." And just yesterday there was a lineman hit by a 12.5kV "de-energized" transformer. This is not a field where you rely on one...
My biggest pet peeve with net metering has nothing to do with the environment but with safety. In the event of an outage linemen have to go and verify that every source of generation is disconnected before they can work on restoring service. When there were only a few net meters this wasn't much...
Three weeks in and Rconnor has yet to even admit that he didn't know how a thermoter works.
All thermometers infer temperature from some other measurement, be it the thermal expansion of a liquid as used in a mercury thermometer, or the impedance of a metal as used in probe thermometers. His...
By definition the sun is nonrenewable. Hell eventually the universe will exhaust its kinetic energy and pull back in on itself. You just cant say that something is "nonrenewable" you have to show that we are going to run out in any significant time frame. There is no urgency to replace fossil...
Actually it isn't even about that David. What is at issue here really is Rconnors insistence to priory throw out any evidence that disagrees with his predetermined conclusion. After NOAA and GISS adopted the Kent adjustment Rconnor knew full well that he could get the results he wanted if he...
Yes please do so but be sure to read further where Rconnor is reduced to demanding that others prove his assertions false rather than him prove them true.
Rconnors entire argument stems from the ENSO not being well known so Rconnor believes that he can simply make up any claims he wants and...
