  • I'm confused by your 8-10 degrees cooler comment

    On page 2 of the Jones/Mann report: "Climate Over Past Millennia (ftp://holocene.evsc.virginia.edu/pub/mann/JonesMannROG04.pdf), it states that at the last glacial maximum 21,000 years ago, global annual mean temperatures were about 4 degrees C colder than today. Why the discrepancy between your 8-10 degrees cooler figure and Jones/Mann's 4 degrees?

    DaveOn Yes, the last ice age started thawing over 20,000 years ago, but that stopped a long time ago posted 2 years, 9 months ago 5 Responses

  • What chance for serial hybrids in short term?

    I've seen a lot of stuff in this thread about plug-ins, but what about serial hybrids, where a tiny internal combustion engine is used exclusively as a generator to recharge the battery, which is always the power source to the drive motor; and which apparently rate at 100 miles per gallon, and have performance ratings  (acceleration and cruising speed) as good as conventional cars? Are they likely to be commercially available soon? If not, anyone know  why not?

  • Re. Ice not increasing per NASA

    You've misunderstood the report you linked to, which is referring to total Antarctic ice mass, rather than to sea ice.On 'Antarctic sea ice is increasing'--Yes, but ... posted 2 years, 9 months ago 14 Responses

  • Re. It should be noted...

    Please could you post the url of the Union of Concern Scientists statement? I can't find it on their website.

    Thanks

  • Re. How did I miss these

    Hi

    Any news on whether you'll be able to at least link the graphs to articles on the web that make them understandable and include legends and proper explanations of what all the lines mean and how one gets from the lines to the conclusion that it is warmer now than it was then? As someone else has said above, the blue line on the Holocene graph on this page does make it look like the Holocene was far warmer than today, even though it wasn't actually!
