Henson puppets 'Stuffed & Unstrung' at Pabst Theater April 13
Ever wonder what Muppets would say if someone else was pulling the strings? About the closest thing to it is "Henson Alternative: Stuffed & Unstrung," a live, adults-only improv comedy show featuring Jim Henson Company puppeteers. It'll be at the Pabst Theater at 8 p.m. April 13.
This definitely ain't "Sesame Street," and these aren't the Muppets. It's six Henson puppeteers - out in the open - with 80 puppets, working up bits and sketches onstage. Their efforts are also shown on a big screen behind them. This New York Post report gives you a taste of the experience. »Read Full Article

On "moving day", I called Rom's number and got his voicemail. As the moving truck arrival time grew closed, I called again, and still got the voicemail. Although I left urgent pleas for a callback, I never heard from the guy.
Fortunately, I acquired emergency loading help from some apartment workers, at great additional expense.
I called eMove and explained my bad experience; the representative said my credit card would be refunded "except for $5.95", which, if I filled an online review of my "Moving Helper", would also be refunded. As hard as I tried, I could not find the link to the review site, to evaluate my Moving Helper.
Because of my terrible Moving Day experience and the unsatisfactory support provided by eMove, I would not recommend using them.

I have used this same service as well. I own a business that is constantly needing last minute help for our vanlines. The system is set up to choose by price, performance, and experience. It kind of a short cut for getting bids from different local companies. That being said, here is what you did wrong.
1. Give yourself at least a 2 day OMG window when moving, because things come up and derails plans all the time. The more time you have the less stress.
2.Choosing a contractor off of price alone? No reputation?
You get what you paid. And in this case you got to get your money back so you paid nothing. Next time dont try to save $5-10 dollars and get one of the companies with a good reputation. No headaches
3. Dig deeper.
Some of those contractors have an internet presence. Look up their reputation in the local search engine. This will accomplish 2 things. 1. You'll get a broader idea of how they handle their customers and 2. You can contact them directly and negotiate a lower price! Yay!
Well I know when most people move they tend to loose thier minds. I believe its up there with death, divorce and public speaking. But if you keep a cool head, make solid plans and backup plans, Things will usually work out well in the end.
Happy to help
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Skip to comments.NYT: Empty Skies Over Afghanistan
Posted on 02/27/2010 10:49:37 AM PST by HokieMom
THE Taliban have found a way to beat American airpower. And they have managed this remarkable feat with American help.
The consequences of this development are front and center in the current offensive in Marja, Afghanistan, where air support to American and Afghan forces has been all but grounded by concerns about civilian casualties.
American and NATO military leaders worried by Taliban propaganda claiming that air strikes have killed an inordinate number of civilians, and persuaded by hearts and minds enthusiasts that the key to winning the war is the Afghan populations goodwill have largely relinquished the strategic advantage of American air dominance. Last July, the commander of Western forces, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, issued a directive that air strikes (and long-range artillery fire) be authorized only under very limited and prescribed conditions.
So in a modern refashioning of the obvious that war is harmful to civilian populations the United States military has begun basing doctrine on the premise that dead civilians are harmful to the conduct of war. The trouble is, no past war has ever supplied compelling proof of that claim.
In Marja, American and Afghan troops have shown great skill in routing the Taliban occupiers. But news reports indicate that our troops under heavy attack have had to wait an hour or more for air support, so that insurgents could be positively identified. We didnt come to Marja to destroy it, or to hurt civilians, a Marine officer told reporters after waiting 90 minutes before the Cobra helicopters he had requested showed up with their Hellfire missiles. Hes right that the goal is not to kill bystanders or destroy towns, but an overemphasis on civilian protection is now putting American troops on the defensive in what is intended to be a major offensive.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Taliban propaganda = NYT
We used to talk about the longest war or the deadliest. Now we talk about which is the nicest.
Another war run by lawyers!!!!!!!!
Very true, which is why I'm surprised they allowed this point of view to be printed.
I like your screen name. Election day can't come soon enough and we have a competent Commander in Chief in charge.
best we can do for two years is gridlock the guy and prevent all of these dangerous bills from passing.
How many of our soldiers will be needlessly killed because of this insanity?
We have a muslim in the white hut. Bring the troops home. You cannot run a war like this. A waste of time, money and lives.
NYT promotes this point of view because it takes the blame that is rightfully their own and pins it on our Military.
In a short while Generals Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley and others will be posthumously tried for war crimes as they gave the orders to stage the D-Day landings that caused thousands of civilian deaths in the ill-advised attempt to drive the NAZIS from occupied Europe.
Then will come the trial of Nimitz, LeMay, and MacArthur for committing the same heinous crimes in the Pacific.
The concern for those poor civilians caught in the fighting in Afghanistan will be counted in the additional deaths of young AMERICANS.
Years ago, in other wars, American officers were concerned about the welfare of their troops...FIRST.
Isn't the writer making the point that the hands of those best able to win the war are tied by cowards in the White House?
Most Intelligence Analysts are like Hookers, Politicians or Shady Lawyers. Pay them enough and they say or do anything you want them too...How do I know? I was one.
How about this minor correction:
"Isnt the writer making the point that the hands of those best able to win the war are tied by cowards in the White House, aided and abetted by the commies at the NYT?"
In previous wars, at least up until WWII we did not consider civilians to be victims but rather enablers. We understood that to win hearts and minds it was first necessary to defeat the enemy militarily and that included the support of the citizenry. Only after their will to win was destroyed could you begin to persuade them to the victors point of view.
At this point the Afghan people cannot be won over to our way of thinking because they have not suffered the consequences of their support for the Taliban. They look at the situation and see, rightly, that they are winning therefore they have no incentive to change.
The only real solution is to unleash hell on the entire population and then work with whoever remains. At that point they will realize the futility of their previous beliefs and can be persuaded to change
Unfortunately we no longer have the intestinal fortitude to wage this type of war. Until we rediscover the benefits of all out war we are destined to suffer these eternal 'death by a thousand cuts' wars.
We are trying very hard to lose this war
Your error — and it is a big one — is in thinking that the nature of the war in Afghanistan is the same as WWII. But of course it is not that at all.
Google the republican Karl Schwarz.
From the article:
"Wars are always ugly, and always monstrous, and best avoided. Once begun, however, the goal of even a long war should be victory in as short a time as possible, using every advantage you have"
THE Taliban have found a way to beat American airpower. And they have managed this remarkable feat with American help. ... Gen. Stanley McChrystal, issued a directive that air strikes (and long-range artillery fire) be authorized only under very limited and prescribed conditions.
No not with American help, but with Sun Tzu's. Some smart a$$ in the Taliban with an IQ above 80 has read The Art of War and is following it to a tee. While conversely, WE are not.
And that means one thing -- we will lose(1).
'Heck' we may have already lost but just don't know it yet.
(1) In the 2,500 years since Sun Tzu wrote those 13 chapters on bamboo sticks, every war that has ever been fought - the winner has always followed what Sun Tzu wrote. It doesn't matter that they never heard of him or his 'book'. What matters is they did what he said to do.
The Taliban ARE "civilians", dummy! Like a dead VC, they look just like a "civilian" to the anti-American maggots in the "media" propaganda machine.
Now that sir is when men were men by God and didn't take any whimpass political correctness s***. If you want to win destroy them beat them into submission but if you want your brave young soldiers coming home in body bags well just keep on doing what your doing! I can't stomach much more of this sisifyed crap!
Even the NYT realizes our troops are being handicapped by these stupid rules, but they blame the military instead of the RAT politicians that cause unnecessary casualties to out own troops
Who needs SAM site and fighters to sweep the skies when you have a senior officer corps of spineless PC yes men and a socialist/muslim president? You just point out that airstikes are "culturally insensitive". Our Government and PC Senior Officer Corps cringes in terror at the accusation.
We don't take too kindly to that picture here in Georgia. I'd have sooner seen his horse stumble in a gopher hole and him have broken his neck during the fall....those 'rebels' weren't foreigners.
Of course the nature of the two wars are different!!! The biggest of several differences is the MAIN concern of American commanders in the PAST was for the welfare of their own troops.
Another difference is that when the Americans won the killing STOPPED..completely.
When the "terrorists" win, the real killing begins.
Apparently the surge in Iraq was such a long time ago that it no longer qualifies as evidence for or against our tactics in Afghanistan.
Ah well, it went against the prevailing views around here anyway. Probably best to forget all about it and follow the successful Soviet model of counterinsurgency in Afghanistan.
We can't blame it all on Obama.
Bush also was into this PC war nonsense.
Smart weapons have seduced our government into thinking it has the luxury of civilizing war.
We are lucky that people became war weary in Iraq, because we inadvertantly let the enemy torture them into war weariness which brought the "awakening".
Had we gone in total war and gotten it over with swiftly?
Hell, we can go back to desert storm on that one.
Fought a half war there. Didn't finish the job.
Tactical nukes shold have been used immediately after 9-11 in Afghanistan's valleys. I mean within days.
We would be talking a very different story right now.
Did you bother to read the article to see what the writer actually says?
The whole point was that by not using our air superiority because of possible civilian casualties, which was a conscious decision made by the White Hut and the commanders, we are losing our biggest advantage. We will either increase our chance of losing or end up dragging the war out much longer than it would have to be if we used our air resources. The author feels we should use them.
This hardly sounds favorable to the Taliban....
She doesn't sound very intelligent.
The NYT prints the TRUTH about Hussein's sell out of the US??!! Did he authorize this article?
Eh, it would be an OPSEC violation to let the enemy know anything you're working on, DW104. ;-) But I know what you're getting at.
She sounds like an All Source analyst. I'm sure she's updated a lot of maps, read a lot of HUMINT reports, and now thinks she's an expert on something because she's good at parroting other experts.
This article is a great example. I understand her point about air power. More to the point, I understand the point that ground pounders have, that she's repeating. Still, our problem in Afghanistan is far deeper than not having the same level of air support we used to.
The red tape over here has grown out of control. It is slowly strangling our ability to do anything much more than count the days until the next RIP/TOA. It's not just the air support that's hamstrung. It's everything. All most units do is hunker down on their FOB and wait for the rotation to end, because they're not allowed or resourced to get out and get at the bad guys.
Anyway, I could go into long and not-for-this-forum detail all night, but the point being, the better analysts are usually the more well rounded individuals, with some real-world experience under their belt. I don't get that vibe from her; I get the impression she's just a smart gal that knows smart people, and passes their opinions along.
Dear NYT: Be sure to thank the Jack Squat Barry administration for the change in ROEs.......=.=
I wonder if she had permission to submit this? or was encouraged to do so? Because is going to piss a lot of REMF's off...Her hearts is in the right place but the intention may have consequences and most desk bound Career Analyst never sees or understood that. As a field guy I am concerned about the safety of the people around me.
- William T. Sherman
Was he referring to the American Southerners, here? I thought it might have been the Native Americans.
We would be talking a very different story right now.
That has my vote.
That part of the world needed a demonstration project.
We failed to deliver.
A tactical nuke would have sent a message, in a place like Mecca or Medina.
Afghanistan? Not much.
I'd be a wasted effort.
I'd = It'd.
Well, that's true...but when they're being effective because we're the ones giving them the advantage, I think somebody has to stand up and say something about it.
The current ROE is integral to current COIN doctrine. To change the ROE, you need to switch to hi intensity conflict. This will not be done.
Er, that's what she's saying. We are so concerned about civilian casualties that the current ROE and tactics make us give up our big advantage.
Hi-intensity conflict is not appropriate for the area.
Her point is that this is war, it's ugly, and civilian lives are going to be lost no matter what, so we should go for it. Why drag it out when we could win quickly?
BTW, what is your definition of "win?"
Killing the enemy and making their leaders surrender. Is there some other definition?
Her whole point is that the "kill civilians = make enemies" chant is wrong, since you will end up killing civilans anyway, although perhaps in a more drawn out way, but you will also risk losing your advantage if you drag it out. That's one of the facts of war, like it or not.
But now that I realize that your position is the same as Bambi's ("we're not looking for victory"), I guess I understand where you're coming from and why you didn't like her analysis.

À propos
The Research Alliance for New York City Schools conducts rigorous studies on topics that matter to the city's public schools. We strive to advance equity and excellence in education by providing non-partisan evidence about policies and practices that promote students' development and academic success.
The Research Alliance fulfills three core functions:
- We conduct rigorous, applied research in collaboration with research institutions, policymakers, and educators.
- We build and maintain longitudinal data archives to support rigorous research.
- We communicate research results to broad audiences including policymakers, educators, parents, and other public education stakeholders.
The Research Alliance was founded in 2008 as a research center housed at New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. While independent of the New York City Department of Education (DOE), we work with DOE and other stakeholders to identify important questions for research and to provide valid and reliable evidence to help solve problems and build capacity in schools throughout NYC. In addition, the Research Alliance collaborates with researchers at NYU and other universities and organizations across the city and country. Four principles guide our work.

He was fired by CDW Computer and Tiger Direct after they found out how incompetent he was. He worked for a company in Orlando Florida out of his corporate headquaters which turned out to be a shared cubical desk at an Intelligent Office in Schaumburg, Illinois.
He was caught setting up fake merchant accounts to shift funds under a fake EIN number that he set up and remitted to Bank of America from a transitional housing company set up for the purpose of housing drug addicted veterans.
The Bank of America fraud department has a full scale investigating going. Obviously he was fired after the fake EIN was discovered by Bank of America and they alerted the real owner.
He bounced checks on a good friend of mine for over $8,000 while trying to get free kitchen cabinets out of the deal.
Run from this man as fast as you can. He is a computer guy and will destroy you if he gets a chance.

This report is completely false and potentially libelous. Anyone who truely knows Dan would tell you that he is one of the most professional, honest and straightforward business people you would meet. The person posting the original report knows that it is false and did so in a bitter attempt to justify their theft from Dan who at one point worked with them. None of the statements made in the original report are true. If you doubt so, contact one of Dan's business associates or visit his business and you will see the truth.

Heretic defends heresy at the ABC
Andrew Bolt
–, Friday, October, 30, 2009, (8:29pm)
Several readers have rightly urged me to post a link to ABC political editor Chris Uhlmann's nice defence of global warming sceptics.
Have Your Say
Good heavens. I didn't realise that Chris Ullmann had it in him.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (08:50pm)
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:09pm)
Yes, and not for the first time.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (11:43pm)
Obviously the man has a death wish or has just signed a contract with another job.
He will be spat on by fellow A.B.C staff
Thanks Andrew for passing that on. You and all your bloggers may wish to go to the 4BC Radio website and listen to the Three Part Interview with Lord Monckton and Michael Smith.
I would post the links, but never seems to work for me, on this blog.
Part 2 & 3 were done after Part 1, off air.
Michael Smith has the permission of Lord Monckton to put the off air convesation to air and share it with all of us. I believe Michael Smith is going to establish a Facebook Page to share these interviews also.
Kevin Rudd must be STOPPED from signing away our democracy and our freedom to choose how we live our lives.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (08:59pm)
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:28pm)
Chris is a rare journalist he'll call it how he sees it. Not just opt for the easy way of going with the flow.
If only there were a few more like Andrew and Chris in the MSM, maybe we could prevent the madness of ETS being inflicted on our country.
Keep up the good work!
Remember, societies can be dysfunctional models and can cause its' own extinction. Easter Island is a good example. It's about balance. What constructs exists in our world that may not need to exist?
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:07pm)
Good to see some independent thinking at the ABC.
Is this likely to give Tony Jones a "Road to Damascus" experience any time soon? It's sad that "Lateline" is simply "Ruddline".
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:10pm)
How did Chris ever get a job with Aunty?
Equally, how will he get out alive?
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:14pm)
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:59pm)
Oh he will get out alive, all right. The interesting question is whether he will be gradually sidelined, and eventually find himself on ABC News Radio, or whether he is big enough to maintain his position, perhaps even swing some of his colleagues around.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:22pm)
and eventually find himself on ABC News Radio
Just facetious? Or is NR the dumping ground for Aunty's ideologically unsound?
Last I heard, Helen Thomas was running the show there. As a former producer for Late Night Phil she surely wouldn't be harbouring dissenters.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:33pm)
Chris Uhlmann has never been an enthusiastic religionist on Climate Change. However with this explicit heresy he's a goner with Kerry anyway, and it will be only a matter of time before he's completely sidelined. The ABC simply doesn't tolerate this sort of thing.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:40pm)
"swing some of his colleagues around."
forget about that, you have to be a "questioner", and if they were, they would not be working at Aunty in the first place.
I agree with ever point Chris Ullmann made. It's just logical straight forward common sense.
But that doesn't mean to say that just because someone is a sceptics they are by definition right.
I'm yet to hear a coherent argument put forward by the AGW sceptics. One minute 'oh yes the world is warming but it's completely natural and is explained by sun spots for example'. Then in the next instance 'oh the worlds not warming it's cooling'.
If the sceptics wish to contribute to the debate they can't argue both those position at the same time.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:21pm)
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:13pm)
Black Knight, it isn't actually up to us sceptics to prove anything, or that we are right. You are the ones who are wanting to impose a tax on everything. Surely the onus of proof is upon you.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:27pm)
Fair call sir.
So speaking for myself, as a sceptic, let me be clear. I do not question the fact that climate changes, I question the fact that man, and more specifically, man's CO2 emissions, are the cause of it. In case you still are not clear, I'll put it another way. I question the correlation between temperature changes and CO2.
Now, please show me proof that CO2 is the cause; proof being something more than a computer model that has a decade of incorrect outputs and counting.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:32pm)
To The Black Night; It's up to those who say AGW exists to prove it. Not for those who know all is OK to prove that.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:32pm)
You have got to think this through! The true situation is that there are the 'believers' and then the 'rest'. The 'rest' don't all belong to one school, they are simply all united against the unproven hypothesis that CO2 causes runaway AGW. The 'rest' include great climatologists such as Lindzen, Pielke Sen and Roy Spencer, who all disagree on what's actually happening, but are united against AGW and are called sceptics. As an analogy, there are those that believe in Allah and the 'rest' that don't, the rest might be christians, jews, buddists etc.
So to answer you complaint: Sceptics can't hold different positions? Sure they can, they are the 'rest', so they simply demand evidence of AGW from the believers, for which at the moment, there isn't any!
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:34pm)
You see Black Knight, it's like this. The first one to tell the other what they can and can't say loses.
Until recently, science was based on skepticism. As Einstein said, no number of experiments can prove me right, but one can prove me wrong.
Einstein was referring, of course, to himself as the holder of an hypothesis.
The present hypothesis is that the world is warming due to CO2 emissions.
The only onus on the sceptic is to produce a single piece of evidence that the hypothesis is wrong.
Either of the "arguments" you try to glue together will on its own disprove the hypothesis.
Does that help you to understand the scientific method just a bit more?
Any other argument you might raise is NOT science.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:43pm)
"But that doesn't mean to say that just because someone is a sceptics they are by definition right"
True, but the key question is on what basis do "sceptics" and "deniers" make their statements?
As long as it's the evidence, then we should be able to have a scientific discussion about observable data, reproducibility and the falsification of the theory - standard scientific method.
If the sceptics wish to contribute to the debate they can't argue both those position at the same time.
BK, here you again confuse and conflate points of issue.
I suggest that you might consider the proposition: "follow the evidence".
If the evidence shows that sun spot activity correlates closely with global temperature movements, then the interpretation, subject to the arrival of further evidence, is that sunspots have a large influence on global temperatures.
If we record a decline in sunspot activity, we can predict (or observe if it is past) a decline in global temperatures over the specified time period.
There is no problem with arguing both aspects as they relate to recorded evidence over time of changes in temperature and changes in the temperature drivers.
If you want a religious view, try this:
Deut 18:22
"If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him."
I understand that the computer models
a) have never been benchmarked against actual recorded data
b) have not predicted what has actually occurred.
So yes, Chris Uhlmann makes a lot of sense.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:45pm)
TBK, skeptics aren't trying to redistribute everyone else's wealth. They don't have to argue a damn thing.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:45pm)
"I'm yet to hear a coherent argument put forward by the AGW sceptics."
Yes, it's difficult to hear when you don't listen.
If you don't see that the first explains the warming we saw up to 1998, and the second discusses what happened after that, then there isn't anyone who can help you. None are so blind as those who refuse to see.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:53pm)
BK, this is my first post, I have been following both sides here for a while and from what I have read it was my impression that the discussion went along the following lines. There is general consensus that the earth has warmed when looking at say a 100 year period, this the skeptics say is not man-made and this is further supported by the generally agreed consensus that while Carbon emissions have increased over the last 10 year, during the 10 year period the earth has cooled. Therefore the assumption is that Carbon is not the cause of the overall long term finding that the earth has warmed, albeit slightly.
BK if what I have written above is agreed to then we would have to agree that you can contribute to the argument with both these positions, honestly I was under the impression that is really the only basis that the skeptics have to argue their case. If this is not clear then I can only assume that there is something else motivating your point of view and while I take these International Red Conspiracies with a pinch of salt, it does make me wonder.
Please feel free to educated me of the rational argument against the above I would rather err on the side of caution than have the earth destroyed.

Black night:
Your reasoning is muddle-headed.
It matters little if the world is currently warming, cooling, or whatever it is doing. It has done that for billions of years.
What matters, and only matters, is the claim that co2 (released by humans) is going to heat the world to hell.
Do you gt it?
Read at least a basic level of science & understnd that if you put forward a hypothesis (e.g. AGW), then YOU need to produce evidence for it, NOT those who are skeptical of it.
Those who are skeptical are comfortable accepting that there are many uncertainties.
Those who cannot cope with uncertainty need to invent religions & ideologies (like agw) to give their lives meaning and purpose.
AGW is a faith, not sceince.

David of Elwood,
proof being something more than a computer model that has a decade of incorrect outputs and counting
Then why not try some basic radiation physics. What sort of computer do you think Svante Arrhenius or Fourier used in the 1800's when they made estimates of the effect of CO2?
Sat 31 Oct 09 (12:29am)
Dr G,
against the unproven hypothesis that CO2 causes runaway AGW.
Can you name one scientist who claims CO2 causes runaway global warming? The majority of scientists believe a doubling of CO2 will cause between 2 and 5C of warming, certainly not runaway warming.
Lindzen, Pielke Sen and Roy Spencer are not sceptical about the fact that CO2 is a GHG and will cause warming, they just do not believe it will be significant.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (12:31am)
As Einstein said, no number of experiments can prove me right, but one can prove me wrong
Then what are the sceptics waiting for, it only takes one piece of evidence to destroy the AGW theory, so why don't they produce it? Is it because it does not exist?
Sat 31 Oct 09 (12:58am)
I understand that the computer models
a) have never been benchmarked against actual recorded data
b) have not predicted what has actually occurred.
Then you understand wrong, most models are tested by hindcasting to test their ability to forecast
Sat 31 Oct 09 (01:14am)
BK, yes we can. Why because your AGW co-religionists, SEE WARMING AS EVIDENCE !!!!!
What a stupendous & absurd assumption!
So when the climate cools as it has been doing, it disproves the idiotic & grandiose hypothesis that Anthropogenic CO2 emissions cause warming!
The "digital astrology" as Chris Ullmann calls computer models, claim we SHOULD still be warming.
and the fraud "Mann" would claim it should be taking off like a ski-jump!
To prove Chris's point, you see any change in climate as the dark work of mankind, yet it ALWAYS changes!
So skeptics see the warming AND cooling as the natural cycle - with 4.5billion years of change!
I guess the true difference in the debate is that the sceptics are not deluded enough to think that mankind has god-like powers.
The AGW crowd see mankind as Omnipotent.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (01:28am)
T Green,
...while Carbon emissions have increased over the last 10 year, during the 10 year period the earth has cooled
Your assumption is only valid if the Earth has in fact cooled over the last 10 years (which it hasn't) and if you assume there is only one factor effecting temperature (which there isn't). 1998 was an El Nino year where sea surface temperatures were some of the highest on recorded. My understanding is when the trade winds drop you get less mixing of the surface waters which warm and increase the rate of evapouration. It takes a lot of heat to change water from a liquid to a gas. As the water vapour rises through the atmosphere it condenses releasing that heat it gained from the ocean into the upper atmosphere, as can be seen from the satelite temperatures here in fig 9 1998. There is still the same amount of heat in the system it is just that the heat is now in the atmosphere instead of the ocean. Water vapour is also a GHG and this increases the warmin even further. The opposite occurs in La Nina years.

Tshwane Green,
A most coherent summation of the errors in logic by TBK. I do not necessarily agree with your view in erring on the side of caution rather than "see the earth destroyed" as I think that might imply you are of the "… it's better to do something rather than nothing" viewpoint, I think you appear to be a sensible and logical thinker.
Well put. I hope my children grow up with the same even handed view as you!!
BTW, my view is slightly different in essence in that "… I would prefer to err on the side of caution rather than have our society and our hard earned way of life destroyed on the basis of limited and demonstrably flawed mathematical models, limited and misrepresented evidence, and mystical, hand-wavy science"
Sat 31 Oct 09 (06:29am)
I'm yet to hear a coherent argument put forward by the AGW sceptics.
Suggest you read the Ice Time chapter in Bill Bryson's book "A Short History of Nearly Everything". It is great for non-scientists. Here's an excerpt:
"Climate is the product of so many variables - rising and falling carbon dioxide levels, the shifts of continents, solar activity, the stately wobbles of the Milankovitch cycles - that it is as difficult to comprehend the events of the past as it is to predict those of the future. Much is simply beyond us."
The climate is complex, chaotic and poorly understood. The idea that you can model it and predict things a century ahead is simply ridiculous.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (08:20am)
Black Knight and fellow AGW believers.
It was edifying to read
I agree with ever point Chris Ullmann made. It's just logical straight forward common sense.
Chris's observation
…anyone who puts their faith in computer predictions of the future, is dealing with digital astrology
puts to rest the bulk of the "peer reviewed" references you people regularly chant, as most involve some form of computer modelling.
As well, bang goes CSIRO's credibility in respect of climate change, for all their work in this area relies on computer modelling. This explains why they performed badly as scientific advisers to the Federal Government in its failure to answer Senator Fielding's fundamental questions about CO2 and temperature movements.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (09:24am)
...AGW co-religionists SEE WARMING AS EVIDENCE !!!!!
The real problem Grumble's is that people of your ilk refuse to accept that warminging is just one of the many pieces of the evidence that support the theory that CO2 is a significant contributor to recent warming. If it is not CO2 then what is it?
Sat 31 Oct 09 (09:24am)
Firstly, James Hansen believes in runaway global warming? Why? Because doubling CO2 concentration alone will only give about 0.5C, but the alledged positive feedbacks give the rest i.e. it is the positive feedbacks that give the runaway component. If 2-5C is not a problem, then why such a mad rant about the end of life as we know it? You say that Lindzen etc. don't dispute that CO2 "itself" causes warming, true, but what differentiates them from warming scientists? They dispute the runaway component due to feedbacks, and hence your statement "they don't believe the increase will be significant". Now, if as you say warming scientists don't believe in runaway warming then what differentiates them from Lindzen etc.?
Sat 31 Oct 09 (11:50am)
Daryl, from you first link, second para:
So, what was the point of the link?
Looking for a complete explanation of greenhouse warming, equations and all? You won't find it here or anywhere on the Web
Sat 31 Oct 09 (12:05pm)
Hermit: "Until recently, science was based on skepticism. As Einstein said, no number of experiments can prove me right, but one can prove me wrong." Einstein introduced his cosmological constant into general relativity because he believed in a static state universe. When Edwin Hubble observed that the universe is expanding Einstein viewed the cosmological constant term as his "greatest mistake". Here one observation proved Einstein wrong, but no one would argue that this invalidates his entire theory. Science is based on experimentation, observation and inference. Deniers have to mount credible alternative explanations to the prevailing opinions in order to be taken seriously.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (01:22pm)
The very first cause/effect premise supporting the theory of AGW was that increasing levels of CO2 being put into the atmosphere by mankind would lead to an increase in global temperatures and we would eventually fry. Nothing else. That was back in the 1970's. THE ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE INCREASE HAS NOT HAPPENED WITH EVER INCREASING CO2 LEVELS, therefore the theory is debunked. That is the scientific method. Instead the true believers have been dancing around, moving the goalposts from AGW to Climate Change to Dangerous Climate Change to Carbon Pollution to "any distraction will do". That is not science - that's religion. And after hearing the interviews with Lord Monckton on 4BC I now see why there is so much religious zeal about AGW coming from the left. I think that constitutes a fair body of evidence against this ridiculous climate change hysteria.
P.S. Keep up the good work Chris Uhlmann.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (02:19pm)
Just because you refuse to listen, doesn't mean there aren't excellent arguments put up every single day. And that's just on this blog.
Lots of people don't believe in evolution yet they believe that a talking snake told the first woman to eat some magic fruit and now there is evil in the world.
Often religion will blind people to the facts.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (04:30pm)
Bob of Indooroopily,
What a load of rubbish! What planet are you living on? Every measurement, satellite or land based all show warming. Sea levels are rising which can only be caused by melting ice or thermal expansion as the oceans heat.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (05:26pm)
Because doubling CO2 concentration alone will only give about 0.5C
Rubbish, A doubling of CO2 will give about 1C of warming and that is not disputed by anyone who has an understanding of the subject. The question is how much do positive feedbacks add to the equation.
Remember Andrews reality check when he linked to a WUWT widget showing a 0.42C increase in temperature with a 50 ppm increase in CO2. You work it out
i.e. it is the positive feedbacks that give the runaway component.
Crap! How do oscillators work if positive feedback causes a runaway. You really do need to get a grasp on reallity Doc.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (08:02pm)
The biggest difference between Einstein and modern day AGW "scientists" is that Einstein would have been happy to have ANY of this theories proven wrong because it would mean an advance in science. True scientists are seekers of knowledge and they know that the more you learn, the less you know. Real scientists are driven by a thirst for knowledge, not publicity and book deals. Uhlmann is a breath of fresh air from Aunty. He alone is worth my 8c worth.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (11:02pm)
I admit I was wrong about 0.5C and it is about 1C as you state, see slide 44 in talk by Prof Lindzen: http://www.globalwarming.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/lindzen-talk-pdf.pdf
I erroneously quoted the 0.5C from Slide 48. However, please refute his argument and final conclusion in this talk in your own words!
In a speech to the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1900, the most famous scientist of the day, Lord Kelvin, declared, "Physics is essentially complete".
"There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now," he said. "All that remains is more and more precise measurement."
He did note a couple of "dark clouds on the horizon" but expected they would be erased without much trouble.
I recall hearing a very similar thing on the radio to that during the week, on Conversations, between the interviewer and a scientist...here.
And my very first thought was that this should be applied by the current crop of scientists who believe that the sky is falling, and we're all warming to hell.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:30pm)
Sat 31 Oct 09 (01:06am)
Perhaps we should refer to AGW supporters as Kelvinists.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (03:36pm)
Thats a great handle,
AGW supporters as Kelvinists
Mind if I borrow that tag to shut up a few of these AGW sheeples
Good one Andrew. Chris Uhlmann is a breath of fresh air in their ABC.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:36pm)
Chris has nailed his thesis to the cathedral door, so we should all take screen shots before the evil angels at the ABC expunge it, and him.

The Crucible Part 2.
He is a witch and will have to be cleansed. I hope Chris likes dunking chairs.
Uhlmann's invocation of Popper is timely. Popper rejected marxism and freudianism as sciences because they could not be falsified or critically tested. Agree with a marxist, and he wins; disagree with a marxist, and he knows - in advance! - that this is because you are bourgeois. Or are influenced by the bourgeois. So the marxist wins again. If his theories do not produce the results predicted, clearly this is because of right-wing conspiracies and coverups. You cannot see this? That just shows how effective the coverup was. The marxist wins again ... Likewise with a freudian; if he diagnoses a repression, you can agree with him so he is right, or you can disagree with him - that just shows how repressed it is, so he is right again - no matter what ... Such rubbery theories can always be stretched to cover any fact. This looks to the tyro like a strength - in reality it is a weakness, because anything inconvenient can just be fudged.
Now where have we seen this before? Yes, with 'climate change'. Drought? Due to heat from climate change. Flood? From extra evaporation of water vapour due to heat from climate change. Heads they win, tails you lose. Temperature goes up? Clear proof of human induced climate change. Temperature goes down? Temporary respite from temperature going up due to human induced climate change - this will be clear in 2060 ... when we will all be dead. You doubt this? Then that is because you are part of or a dupe of a vast right-wing conspiracy by oil companies to cover up these inconvenient truths. Again one sees the pattern Popper denounced - the failure to make specific predictions which can be falsified. If a theory does pass a real critical test, then that does say something for the theory. But climate change studies are full of fudging.

Bravo Dave Elder, the problem is they've got the young vote who don't know or care.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:56pm)
"Now where have we seen this before?"
Pretty much in any cult or mass delusion. Absolutely fits the nature denialists of the AGW movement.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (06:10am)
Stuart I know you are well meaning but please do not put the young in a 'box".
Those who are studying at school or tertiary level are sceptical because they have seen the Warming Warriors predictions and imagined consequences of imagined AGW come and go without the doom and they are concerned about their future if and ETS is introduced.
Young people who are in the workforce, apprenticeships or working on the land are sceptical for the same reason and know first hand the cost to their livelihoods including the tax on burping cattle and the cost of getting their product to market.
Young people are much more savvy about the scam that is being perpetrated than one could imagine. They are aware Gore and Flannery are snake oil salesmen.
Young people use the web so are not solely influenced by their "oldies".
What Chris says on the ABC site should be of no surprise or revelation to anybody with a functioning brain.
It is so simple to understand for anyone who has bothered to spend just a few days thinking seriously about the subject of knowledge, belief systems and the scientific process.
However, for the intellectual midgets & morons who read the AGE, watch SBS & the ABC, Chris' article will be incomprehensible, or they will conclude he is a right-wing nut in the pay of big oil.
These people are superficial thinkers; they crave a simple ideology to explain everything for them in simple terms. They took to their education at university like monkeys trained on type writers.
The first line of reasoning I followed when I began to think seriously about AGW was similar to what Chris has outlined. Therefore I began inquiring with an open, but sceptical mind, and looked to change that position as the evidence presented itself. Over the last 5 years I have become even more sceptical.
Catastrophic AGW is purely a speculative claim, with no basis in reality.
This should be plainly obvious to anyone with at least a basic level of intelligence.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:51pm)
Fri 30 Oct 09 (11:48pm)
I really do like Chris Uhlmann as a reporter. He is never afraid to present both sides of a debate as a good journalist should.
Not like all the other slanted, barking mad, leftie, cheer squad at the ABC and SBS, as well as Oakes, Bonjorno, Kochie on the commercial channels and the list goes on.
He is like a breath of fresh air.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (09:54pm)

Hi Obs, I enjoyed Chris's stint as host of Insiders a couple of months ago.
I'd like to see him take over from Barrie, who looks as though he should be put out to pasture along with a few others at the ABC. No need to mention names, but I'm sure you know who they are.
They really should be letting younger people have opportunities. Do those entrenched ABC boys and girls have to be carted out in boxes? It seems so.
Thank you Andrew,Inever felt inferior or insulted being called a sceptic,and this article confirms why i was so. I am printing it out for my warming friends, to try and rearange their confused minds.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:02pm)
Chris Uhlmann has consistently demonstrated that he represents the last vestige of balanced reporting within the ABC. (With only one or two transgressions!) That Chris has bravely made this stance public, signals he is a man of integrity.
This worthy gem represents a rare glimmer of hope!
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:03pm)
Something wrong there Andrew.
Chris Uhlmann seems far too bright and rational to be a political editor.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:04pm)
If it's settled, it's not science. Because science is never closed, never protected, never cordoned off and defended from being somehow defiled. That's not what science is. So when anyone says "the science is settled," they don't know what science is.
Uhlmann knows why science is science and why the alternatives to it are what they are. And for having read Popper he'll be punished at lunch with name-calling and bullying, which is apparently all people really learn in school. They clearly don't learn what science is.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:12pm)
As I have asked before.If the science is settled then where is the formula or equation that shows the relationship of CO2 in the atmosphere to the mean average temperature of earth.When the people who believe in the greenhouse theory
show that and it stands up to scientific analysis then I will be prepared to take action.
Fri 30 Oct 09 (10:19pm)
Fri 30 Oct 09 (11:21pm)
All other things equal (obviously an ideal case), a change in CO2 concentration will result in the following forcing:
[url=http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/1998/98GL01908.shtml]change in Forcing = 5.35 x ln [CO2final]/[CO2initial] W/m^2
To convert that to average temperature change once at equilibrium, use the following:
Change in temp (K) = change in forcing (W/m^2) x climate sensitivity (K/(W/m^2))
You can watch a good talk on this here.
Sat 31 Oct 09 (01:47am)
Here is the scientific analysis you were looking for so when will you start taking action?
Sat 31 Oct 09 (01:13pm)
Thanks Daryl
Second item on that search
Global warming caused by an increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases, is the direct result of greenhouse gas—induced radiative forcing. When a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide is considered, this forcing differed substantially among 15 atmospheric general circulation models. Although there are several potential causes, the largest contributor was the carbon dioxide radiation parameterizations of the models.
So 15 models could not come up with one model that actually predicted the temp rise.In fact it looks like it could not even
come up with a value for CO2 radiation.
But guys thanks I think this is the equations they are currently using.
Sad that such common sense is so uncommon.
