Australia makes into 2013 in good shape despite the carbon tax. How can this be?

#1 Karen January 8, 2013
Lotharsson, could you be so kind and inform me as to any flood in the last 10 years in Australia that has beaten previous known flood records ?
#2 Wow January 8, 2013
How will that tell you if there's been more flooding, karen?
#3 David DuffThis Septic IsleJanuary 8, 2013
And so, gradually, craftily, muttered out the side of the mouth, the truth emerges. A whole gang of 'climate scientologist' prelates have just issued a paper in which they try to work out the differential between solar influences, man-made influences and just general natural variability noise as prime cause of (so-called) global warming:
"We use simulation output from 20 climate models participating in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. This multimodel archive provides estimates of the signal pattern in response to combined anthropogenic and natural external forcing (the finger- print) and the noise of internally generated variability. Using these estimates, we calculate signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios to quantify the strength of the fingerprint in the observations relative to fingerprint strength in natural climate noise."
Well, did you spot it? Didja? Didja? I don't suppose the unsophisticated kiddies here did, so I will explain.
Your cult leaders carefully and with malice aforethought lumped solar influences in with anthropological influences so as not to differentiate between them.
Now I wonder why they did that?
#4 Wow January 8, 2013

Don't know what planet Karen's on… temperature tomorrow in Lincoln, Nebraska is going to be 10 C; some 8 C above normal. Snow doesn't last very long at that temeprature; Texas is a mighy big state, dopey, so saying its 1 C means nix. And, as I said, snow is not an indicator of cold or at least below normal temperatures.
#7 Wow January 8, 2013
"You mean forecast errors of +76%, …"
Nope, I mean their forecasts were wrong on 5 out of 365 days.
98% accuracy in forcasting.
The individual forcast isn't "76% wrong" since they didn't give a 76% chance of the event happening as predicted.
It's not just that you don't want to understand, it's that you can't.
#8 Wow January 8, 2013
Heck, by your "maths", the Met Office error would be less than I said!
76% of one day

1% of one day
11% of one day
total: 2.11 day-errors. Out of 365 possible in one year: 0.6% error. Accuracy 99.4%.

"There has always been evaporation"
I believe this latest troll tail-chase goes back to your own "a December record for Northern hemisphere snow cover"
So as Lotharsson kindly pointed out in what were possibly not infantile enough baby steps especially for you, AGW > warmer oceans + warmer air > more evaporation > more precipitation.
And as the complete morons are fond of saying, that's how those lying scientists s'plain how warming makes things colder. But then there's no talking to complete morons, eh Karen?
#10 Vince Whirlwind January 8, 2013
It was 43 degrees where I was – on the coast – on Saturday.
And tonight – back inland, where I belong – we are shrouded in cooled volatilised combustion products. Smells like burnt grass, which is reassuring, but the wind is pretty wild, the temp has been in the high 30s as the sun sets for days now, and it's all a bit nasty really.
The increased rainfall of the last 3 or so years has allowed a lot of growth. (We even had the tops of hills green for months at a time, including in summer). The pounding heat over the last few weeks has turned all this growth into fuel. It's currently pretty ugly.
#11 lord_sidcup January 8, 2013
@Duff – I might be wrong here, but I think you and your chums have got the wrong end of the stick again and are confusing natural external forcings (part of the signal) and natural internal variability (AKA the 'noise'). Reasonable to lump together anthropogenic and natural forcings if the point of your study is to distinguish these from the natural noise of the climate system, no?
#12 Lotharsson January 8, 2013
…in what were possibly not infantile enough baby steps especially for you…
I don't think sufficiently infantile steps exist for some people 😉
#13 Vince Whirlwind January 8, 2013
Duff is heroically clocking-in with yet more unbelievably embarrassing paid-for PR-gibberish.
And people bother responding with more than a one-lioner…
He's not even bothering to pretend to being an honest correspondent – it's all just bald-faced PR-gibberish, as supplied by the fuckwits running this disinformation campaign, which is only still operational in about 6 countries in the world.
#14 Marco January 8, 2013
Lord_sidcup, you are not wrong on both accounts (1. what the scientists were doing, 2. Duff & Co got the wrong end of the stick again).
#15 Lionel A January 8, 2013
What does the term multimodel mean to you?
Here are some clues.
Perhaps you should digest this too (one clue):
Importance of carbon dioxide physiological forcing to future climate change
An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration influences climate both directly through its radiative effect (i.e., trapping longwave radiation) and indirectly through its physiological effect (i.e., reducing transpiration of land plants). Here we compare the climate response to radiative and physiological effects of increased CO2 using the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) coupled Community Land and Community Atmosphere Model. In response to a doubling of CO2, the radiative effect of CO2 causes mean surface air temperature over land to increase by 2.86 ± 0.02 K (± 1 standard error), whereas the physiological effects of CO2 on land plants alone causes air temperature over land to increase by 0.42 ± 0.02 K. Combined, these two effects cause a land surface warming of 3.33 ± 0.03 K. The radiative effect of doubling CO2 increases global runoff by 5.2 ± 0.6%, primarily by increasing precipitation over the continents. The physiological effect increases runoff by 8.4 ± 0.6%, primarily by diminishing evapotranspiration from the continents. Combined, these two effects cause a 14.9 ± 0.7% increase in runoff. Relative humidity remains roughly constant in response to CO2-radiative forcing, whereas relative humidity over land decreases in response to CO2-physiological forcing as a result of reduced plant transpiration. Our study points to an emerging consensus that the physiological effects of increasing atmospheric CO2 on land plants will increase global warming beyond that caused by the radiative effects of CO2.
Duff quoted a short passage and avoided the rest of the article.
Now I wonder why he did that?
Through ignorance or mendacity?
Duff the good little Cardinal Puffer (aka Bishop sHill) and aren't the shills blowing this one for all its worth, its rattling around the deniersphere like clinkers in their pants.. They are clearly running out of straws.
#16 Lionel A January 8, 2013
Meanwhile we have this (H/T Climate Crocks) collection of reports on the new reality.

#21 David DuffThis Septic IsleJanuary 8, 2013
Did man-made CO2 cause recent global warming?
If 'Yes', then why would you conflate it with other possible natural causes, thus hiding it?
I repeat, just for your benefit, from the pens of Ben Santer, Susan Solomon, Tom Wigley, Julie Arblaster and Peter Stott et al:
"We use simulation output from 20 climate models participating in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. This multimodel archive provides estimates of the signal pattern in response to COMBINED anthropogenic AND natural external forcing (the finger- print) and the noise of internally generated variability. Using these estimates, we calculate signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios to quantify the strength of the fingerprint in the observations relative to fingerprint strength in natural climate noise."
[My emphasis]
#22 chek January 8, 2013
Duffer, out of his depth scrastches his arse and says: "If 'Yes', then why would you conflate it with other possible natural causes, thus hiding it?"
And lo and behold his conspiracy loaded question is answered quite clearly by some of the world's leading scientists: "Using these estimates, we calculate signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios to quantify the strength of the fingerprint in the observations relative to fingerprint strength in natural climate noise."
Yes of course you don't understand a word of it Duffer. You rely on retards like Watts for information.
#23 Jeff Harvey January 8, 2013
The guy who wrote the Pravda article is a complete nutter. One should check out his web page. IMO he comes off as a psycho. PentaxZ is in good company. Read also some of the comments from readers – comedy stuff like 'Obama is a communist' and AGW is a global plot from, of all people, the 'intellectual elites'.
Sad to see complete intellectually bankrupt morons like PentaxZ and Duff spreading their gospel of ignorance on Deltoid. Who they are preaching to God only knows, because anybody with a sliver of brain tissue will realize what utter fanatics they are.
#24 lord_sidcup January 8, 2013
@Duff – You are simply confused. You don't understand the purpose of that study. You have allowed yourself to be spoon-fed a crank's version of the paper.
#25 Lotharsson January 8, 2013
You have allowed yourself to be spoon-fed a crank's version of the paper.
And despite the careful spoon feeding assistance, he still dribbles pap all over himself.
#26 Lionel A January 8, 2013
Duff with more drongo drops:
…COMBINED anthropogenic AND natural external forcing…
Why is it so difficult for you to understand that it is good practice to separate out the two types of forcing otherwise how would we know the proportion from the former?
If an aircraft is being flown off a carrier in order to be able to calculate a safe load level one needs to know the speed of wind over the deck (natural [1]) and the acceleration of the aircraft factored with available deck length (anthropogenic).
[1] Complicating factor if a catapult was being used. Which part would that be assigned to Duff, natural or anthropogenic?
BTW that is an analogy.
If you don't understand then look up stuff
but best to avoid Cardinal Puff
Also don't bother with WUW that

Hell, isn't their eternal problem how the AR4 can say "very likely most of the warming in the latter half of the 20th Century is from anthropogenic causes"?
To make that statement is to SAY that there are natural forces and how big they are compared to anthropogenic ones is what they did to arrive at that conclusion.

No Lotharsson,
I understand that you simply CANNOT accept or believe anything I write, but I have explained how I came accross this site.
However, I must confess that I have become a little addicted to paying visits here.
So I guess in one way you are correct, I have probably STAYED for a bit of hunting.
Many of you make it far too amusing and far too tempting to wind you up.
chuckle 🙂
Don't get too over excited however, as I'm sure that Tim is delighted that he has a new visitor for his 'ritual intellectual humiliation' tribe.
But with much tongue in cheek folks, I seriously do suspect that Wow is employed by 'the other tribe' as an undercover agent.
His mission is to make you look pathetic by spraying vitriol and arguing that black is white and white is black and THAT WOW IS RIGHT!!!!!!
AND EVERYBODY ELSE who doesn't BELIIIIEEEEEEEVVVVVE in (I'm not sure anymore?) is whatever expletive (even with a misogynist after taste) he can dredge up in about 4 to 5 gattling gun, vitriolic comments.
It is hilarious reading and somewhat addictive I do have to confess.
I also love the MO here where everybody answers each others questions. It cracks me up.
And JeffH, I actually think Karen's 'analogy' was an absolute cracker!
It was humourous without dredging up something as henious as paedophilia.
Unlike the 'oh so untouchable' ABC who are still claiming today that this current heatwave is 'virtually unprecedented' and making a huge political fuss over something that is clearly just a common SE Australian heatwave and clearly just weather!
There are people who live out here and not that old (but that is of course a relative term so let's say at least 30 years old) that know beyond any doubt that there is nothing unprecedented about this heatwave. We've had much worse ones and hotter ones before for fox ache!!!!
And even though some of us are academics, it isn't actually necessary to have academic qualifications to understand that.
#45 bill January 8, 2013

So I guess in one way you are correct, I have probably STAYED for a bit of hunting.
Ever reliable, you are.
The hunting reference is to a rude joke that was mentioned in comments a couple of days ago. It's about a bear hunter who is eventually asked "You don't really come here for the hunting, do you?"
It's a roundabout way of indicating that you're in the tribe you're pointing at and laughing about. Or to put it another way, those who are "into" "ritual intellectual humiliation" here are those who seek out ways to have it directed at themselves, because no-one is making them come here and proudly display their stupidities.
I predict that even after explaining the joke-as-analogy, you still won't grok it.
#48 Wow January 9, 2013
"And just for Wow's benefit, that is known as developing a theme via literary devices."
The theme has to have some positive intent to it to develop, cham.
Yours have no positive reason. It's all a game of smoke and mirrors so that you say nothing but mean "you're wrong" without ever saying how you got there.
Because that would mean learning if you're actually the wrong one here. And for opinionated redneck blowhards like yourself, that will NEVER do.

Analogy? I can't find where Karen made any kind of analogy. Is this another of those words with your own private definition?
But with much tongue in cheek folks, I seriously do suspect . . .
So are you being serious or do you have your tongue in cheek, i.e. are joking? The confusion in your mind must be a continual source of wonder to you. With every day that passes, you come across as dottier than the previous day (as well as reinforcing the impression of being a dishonest coward).

Chameleon says the australian heatwave is nothing special, BOM says:
''The current heatwave – in terms of its duration, its intensity and its extent – is now unprecedented in our records,'' the Bureau of Meteorology's manager of climate monitoring and prediction, David Jones, said.
''Clearly, the climate system is responding to the background warming trend. Everything that happens in the climate system now is taking place on a planet which is a degree hotter than it used to be.''
As the warming trend increases over coming years, record-breaking heat will become more and more common, Dr Jones said.
''We know that global climate doesn't respond monotonically – it does go up and down with natural variation. That's why some years are hotter than others because of a range of factors. But we're getting many more hot records than we're getting cold records. That's not an issue that is explained away by natural variation.'
Who to believe? BOM or an anonymous troll, I know who I'd pick.

#52 chameleon January 9, 2013
Well John,
To coin a wowism.
They're wrong.
Maybe their records have gone missing?
If they would like to come out here, which is nowhere near suburbia BTW, there are plenty of long term temp records compiled by generational family businesses.
It is also not the first time BoM has been mistaken BTW.

More revealingly, though, is the >5% increase in length of the growing season,
#57 Vince Whirlwind January 9, 2013
People who *genuinely* live away from suburbia and on the land are perfectly aware of changes to growing seasons, although North American farmers have seen this far more than our shave so far. South Australian farmers on the other hand have seen land become unexploitable due to climate change in the last 25 years.

#59 adelady January 9, 2013
"South Australian farmers on the other hand have seen land become unexploitable due to climate change in the last 25 years."
Oh I dunno, vince. When my husband was working in the lower Flinders area a few years ago, there were still people trying to grow crops on land that was on the wrong side of the original Goyder's line. They just turned them in or left them as soil conditioner when they wouldn't grow past ankle height. If they got past knee height they'd cut them and sell as animal fodder.
Another couple of decades of this and Goyder's line will be in the northern Adelaide suburbs.
#60 Vince Whirlwind January 9, 2013
According to my reading a few years ago, the line had migrated southwards by about 20km(?) at that stage.
Of course, nobody was saying that particular localised example of climate change was a result of any global event.
However from what I've read, global climate change-related increased rainfall is likely to happen far away to the north (already 50% increases in annual average in some places in WA & NT) and SA is likely to continue getting drier and drier, unfortunately.
At least they have the best-producing windfarms in the country.
#61 bill January 9, 2013
And, of course, we might have hoped to gain a bit of badly-needed extra water in the north of the state when any increased rainfall across the tropics descended via the Cooper and the Diamantina, but with the party of The Stupid in charge in QLD we live in imminent fear of the announcement of mass irrigation harvesting.
And best not mention the Murray Darling…

#66 chameleon January 9, 2013
Very interesting.
I went along to the Jennifer Marohasy site that you have been referring to.
BTW, whoever said I was 'like' her, after reading up about Jennifer Marohasy, I'm very flattered.
Of course I do know of her as she has been rather outspoken about the silly bi partisan nonsense that has developed around that hopeless water act 2007 and the MDBP.
She is particularly appalled that no one has the courage to tackle the real problems that have developed around the bottom of the system.
I also notice that she is 'published' in science journals although it is obviously not her main goal in life.
Anyway, this guy named Robert has accessed the records and commented thus:
We're in drought here on the midcoast. It's worse than somebody-or-other thought! It's unprecedented in the entire record after 2007. It's the worst dry spell of any year ending in a 1 and a 3 since 1913. Jan 1 was the driest day of 2013, just nudging out Jan 2. The heat is without precedent in 2013, yet, apart from joining and participating in his local fire brigade, Tony Abbott has done nothing about it today. What a misogynist. I hope John McTernan alerts the ABC about this latest Abbott scandal.
By the way, for those interested in climate extremes, and drought in particular, our region's driest recorded January was in 1900…but wait! There's more!
Our driest Feb was in 1939. Our driest March was in 1922. Our driest April was in 1896. Our driest May was in 1957. Our driest June was in 1883. Our driest July was in 1951. Our driest August was in 1919. Our driest September was in 1907. Our driest October was in 1908. Our driest November was in 1926. Our driest December was in 1938.
Our driest year? 1902.
Oh, and every single monthly record for heat was set between 1910 and 1919, except that of August, which was hottest in in 1946.
This was not a local freak which somehow extended over many decades. All of this reflects the half century of rain deficit in much of Australia following the Fed drought. For fire, of course, it's possible that nothing in world history matches Black Thursday, Victoria, 1851, but the period after the Fed drought, while not free of flood and the usual Australian reverses, was problematic climate change in reality.
For real world climate change, you need real world solutions. Instead, we have extensive plans to waste water, energy, food, infrastructure and money…and we fund this nonsense by gouging more and more of the very coal we are not supposed to use.
Are there any adults left out there? Hello? Adults?
And later thus:
By the way, I'm writing from the middle of the Australian scrub. After five champion years of growth, it's a huge piece of luck that the conditions are not nearly as bad as 19 years ago.
And later Thus:
If any of our country's professional advisers are saying "unprecedented", tell them they are outrageous frauds – and be glad it is not you who is peddling such an obvious and easily exposed lie. And don't give these climate hucksters oxygen by quoting them, especially the arch-polluter Garnaut.
If you want to go along and see for yourself he also explains where he sourced the data.
Funnily enough it was at the BoM link via the Elders site.
Funnily enough, these records also match long term temp and rainfall records from generational businesses in my area as well.
And just in case you missed it before, there is nothing suburban about my life or my lifestyle.
I don't even live in a town.
#67 Karen January 9, 2013
The AGW propagandists in Australia were silent all year, then we get a bit of hot weather, as usual in summer, and the wailing begin's WAH WAH WAH lol, just because we get a few warm days the talking heads use it in a similar manner that Hanson did when he had the air conditioners turned off during his speech to congress, disgusting. Of coarse there are some people who are totally suckered in by the PR campaign, this site is littered with them.
Some perspective……….
"Large areas of northern and eastern Australia had cooler than normal minima in 2012. In fact,
For the year as a whole, minimum temperatures were 0.28 °C below average. Minima were below average across much of northern and central Australia as well as New South Wales west of the Great Divide. A large part of this area recorded minima in the lowest decile. … Winter ranked as the third-coolest on record nationally for minimum temperatures (0.91 °C below average), and coolest for the Northern Territory, while autumn (0.93 °C below average) was the fourth-coolest nationally."
While I'm at it I'd like mention this nutter alarmist,
Anna Rose of "I can change your mind about climate"
This from her bio, "She became a climate change campaigner after her grandparent's farm in North Western NSW was affected by the Drought, and Anna connected the dots to climate change."
Hahahaha, her grandparent's farm in North Western NSW is smack bang in central Australia, in the Desert !!
This silly girl thinks that Climate Change has caused dry conditions at her grandparent's farm in North Western NSW !!!!!! Could someone PLEASE give this idiot a history lesson ?
These are the type of people that are trying to convince the general public that CO2 is 100% the reason why the planet has been warming, even though it hasn't warmed for 15 years, and David has so generously reminded you all that CO2 has not receded but has in fact multiplied with no obvious warming in conjunction with it.

The less Chammy has to say, the more words she uses to say it.
Meanwhile in a shock to their regular readers who were preparing for a new ice age, the WSJ reported that
The lower 48 U.S. states experienced the warmest year on record in 2012, shattering the previous mark set in 1998 by one degree Fahrenheit, government scientists said Tuesday.
Of course the reference to "government" scientists is code for the regular readers to don tinfoil hats.

The climate denier nutters are particularly active today – and the next full moon is not until the 25th. Perhaps the yawning chasm between their beliefs and climate reality is sending them into a frenzy.

He (and others) stated it several times.
3 or 4 gattling gun comments jumped all over the misnomer.
No, you lying sack of shit … the complaint is that you blatantly misrepresented what he wrote.
Oh, why do I bother? These assholes are so predictable … they will never admit to anything.

#72 chameleon January 9, 2013
But the problem is Mike H,
Who do we believe?
BoM? or BoM?
Because they all come from BoM.
Maybe they forgot to mention in this latest release that they didn't use all their records?
#73 chameleon January 9, 2013
Do you mean your 'probably' comment?
That wasn't what you meant to say?
It's OK, some others from the 'ritual intellectual humiliation' tribe here rewrote it for you.
You can relax.
Apparently what you wrote wasn't what you meant to write and someone rewrote it for you.
#74 chameleon January 9, 2013
I also noticed people at the Marohasy site can manage to discuss content and contrary politics without the need to swear at each other.
I do so hope that ianam and wow don't speak to real people in their real lives in this manner.
They would find it rather hard to maintain good relationships.
But maybe they only hang around with people of totally like mind and haven't needed to learn how to discuss politics and weather and such like with others who may not share their views?

bill "And best not mention the Murray Darling…"
I remember during the drought we were at a party in the mid-North, nowhere near the Murray, and the hosts were talking about visiting relatives in NSW. On a fruit block. With open irrigation ditches!! They were horrified. More so because the rellies didn't know why they thought this was so awful. SA irrigators had been installing drip irrigation for over a decade by then, and every time you see vineyards being set up, the drippers are there before the vines are planted.
I've since come to the conclusion that it's just as well Federation removed the individual states' defence forces. If SA still had its own, I'm pretty sure a few rogue sappers might have done some real damage to various "projects" upstream.
#76 bill January 9, 2013
Chammy, your hubris is beyond reckoning. Never have I encountered such a self-satisfied, self-deluding fool. Remember these words, because one day, should you live long enough, you're going to wish you had listened to them…
#77 MikeH January 9, 2013
I love this comment from Captain Stupid himself, Warren Truss head of the National Party and stand-in leader of the opposition.
"Indeed I guess there'll be more CO2 emissions from these fires than there will be from coal-fired power stations for decades,"
It is certainly true that burning Australia's eucalypt forest releases vast amounts of CO2 although the Cap'n is exaggerating a tad.
But what is his argument? CO2 cannot be bad if is also emitted from bushfires? Tell me it is not so – how does this turkey stand and talk at the same time?
#78 chameleon January 9, 2013
right back at you sweetie pie 🙂
But of course because I haven't actually 'encountered' you anywhere except on this site my opinion of you holds no more weight in your life than yours does in mine.
It also is entirely irrelevant to matters under discussion.
But heh! If you get a kick out of judging people on so little evidence, then good luck to you.
Some of your accusations and judgements of my lifestyle are at least affording me some amusement.
#79 chameleon January 9, 2013
Mike H?
Was that your attempt at using a rhetorical question?
#80 bill January 9, 2013
Do you really imagine, à la Watts, that if only a large enough gang of doughty old true-blue, salt-of-the-earth (reactionary) types go back through their local-records, then AGW, that hoary monster spawned by those evil social!st city-slickers, will go away?
Wow, and those records are from the BoM, are they, and so they prove that the BoM's statements about the national climate, assembled as they are by the merely competent based on all the other frickin' records in the country are wrong?
It is impossible to satirise you people.
Are you aware of the fate of Watt's 'surface stations' project, a mob-sourcing* exercise based on remarkably similar set of assumptions. Blew up in his face. Just like his clarion endorsement of the BEST project when he thought the result was (wink, wink) a sure thing from the start.
Turns out the people who know what they're doing are the people who know what they're doing. And, HINT: you're not one of them.
Whatever your hairdresser might think.
Of course, Watts' learned nothing from it, and becomes just that little bit more marginalised every day. He has disappeared into what conservatism's own internal critics refer to as 'the epistemic bubble', which you're so lost in the importunate realities of the outside world can barely hope to register above the honeyed din of self-congratulation.
And, yeah, Marohasy's work on the Murray for the IPA was little short of brilliant. Certainly, you'd think so.
*it's like crowd-sourcing, only much denser and more angry…
#81 Lotharsson January 9, 2013
The less Chammy has to say, the more words she uses to say it.
Compensation tactic 😉
She also appears to be doing the standard denialist "my location indicates national/global averages", and "some amateur dataset I heard about trumps scientific datasets".
Better trolls please.
#82 Lotharsson January 9, 2013
That wasn't what you meant to say?
Not just dumb and gullible, but deliberately trying to provoke offense by doubling down after having her interpretation comprehensively rebutted.
#83 Lotharsson January 9, 2013

The wrong is strong in this one.
(And she's still wrong about leaving for the third (or are we up to the fourth?) time. She's really not here for the hunting!)
#84 Wow January 9, 2013
She's here so she can flounce off and go to her team mates and tell them all tales of drunkenness and cruel tea.
Then after satiating herself on the groupwank comiserations, come back here so she can do it all again.
She's not here for us, she's here so she can be a victim for the rest of the denial crowd.
#85 chameleon January 9, 2013
1) Where did I mention Watts?
2) Who is 'you people'?
#86 chameleon January 9, 2013
On what evidence would you be basing that?
#87 Wow January 9, 2013
""Explain, with back up valid evidence, in your own words."
Why should I?"
Why then did you tell everyone that CO2 from human activities did not cause warming?
#88 Wow January 9, 2013
"On what evidence would you be basing that?"
On the evidence of your appearance on this thread.
#89 Wow January 9, 2013
"Why should I?"
You cAGW denial mongers claim that your dear CO2 hypothesis is valid, ergo you have to prove it valid.
#90 Wow January 9, 2013
"To coin a wowism."
Don't you mean a pantiesism?
Remember "No"? All that was gotten from panties and an INSISTENCE that "No" is all that's needed.
Oh, that's right, you won't see what you'd prefer not to.

Uh.. Karen.. can you read?
9 C today expected in Lincoln; more remarkable is that record high temperatures are expected in Ontarion through Friday – a whopping 12 C in Windsor, and even 8 C in Algonquin Park some 14 C above normal… remarkable. As recently as the 1980s, the temperature in southern Ontarion rarely rose above 0 C for the entire month of January, and if it di, to 2 or 3 c; temperatures of 10 C or higher were an impossibility. The climate ius changing for sure.
Moreover, a recent report now shows that some migrant birds – harriers, chiffchaffs, spoonbills, white storks and others – are now remaining in central Europe during the winter. In the Netherlands, marsh harriers now overwinter on some of the islands. This is remarkable in the extreme. Seasonal and latitudinal shifts in species distributions are proof positive that it is warming and warming rapidly.
Karen hasn't got a clue.

Can after can, it "can" all add up to tons of recycled material and help save landfills from extra waste. That's why Rob Kuhn says he wants his kids get in the habit of recycling.
"It helps the kids to learn that at a young age because natural resources aren't, you know, they're not as plentiful as they used to be. It's just a good thing to teach them," Kuhn explained.
That's also a reason why the City of Tallahassee, Leon County, Tri-Eagle Sales and Home Depot say they hold this recycling event, and they also add an incentive.
"People can recycle everyday, but this specific event where we're paying for the cans is our Earth Day event for 2006. It's a one day event where we're paying people," says Adam Schlachler, who works for Leon County.
As folks bring in their cans, their collection is weighed and they are paid 30 cents for each pound, and each of these bins can hold up to a ton of cans.
Edith Quinley brought in about 400 pounds of cans to help fill up a bin.
"I knew at Earth Day, I've recycled before, I just knew this was a good time to recycle because it's one place I know I could recycle," says Quinley.
People could also opt to donate their money to one of the county parks. Organizers of the Earth Day recycling event said they hope to collect about three tons of cans.

Johannesburg -
More than 60 people were killed when gunmen attacked police stations and army barracks in western Uganda, the Daily Monitor newspaper reported on Sunday.
Many of the fatalities on Saturday were attackers killed by security forces, an army spokesman was quoted as saying.
The victims also included members of the security forces and civilians.
Police spokesman Fred Enanga said 11 civilians were killed alone in Kasese, one of the three districts targeted by the attackers.
Security forces described the attacks as being motivated by disputes between rival ethnic groups.
There has also been concern over the possible resurgence of a Ugandan Islamist rebel group based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, near whose frontier the attacks occurred.
Forty suspects were arrested, the Daily Monitor said. Police were searching for more. - Sapa-dpa

I received an email earlier this month referencing a recent article at Golf.com by Peter Kostis, "How Golf Lost Its Way."
The gentleman who sent me this email was good enough to include his name, which I respect. Anonymous emails are for cowards. I would like to respond not only to his email, but also to Peter Kostis's claim that golf is too hard and too expensive.
I have been playing golf for 35 years and have been a professional for 25 years. First off, I think the affordability of golf has never been better. It is a buyer's market right now and has been for the past 10-12 years, Victory Links included. When you can go online with a third-party vendor and find 18-hole green fees (riding) for less than $40, purchase an MGA card and get two for one green fees and grab all the Living Social and Groupon golf deals you could ever want, how can you say golf has lost its way with regard to cost?
The rates at most all golf courses have stayed about the same over the past 10 years. Like any form of entertainment, the deals exist if you are willing to seek them out. The issue some customers run into is they want it all. They want the perfect golf course, the perfect clubhouse and the perfect food and beverage operation, but they don't want to pay for it. They think someone else should. No one can run a golf course on $18 green fees, cart included, for 18 holes. And I get that request several times a week.
When it comes to courses being too difficult as Peter Kostis's article suggests, I would challenge that as well. We have six sets of tee boxes here at Victory Links. It can be short enough for the executive feel and long enough to host USGA national and PGA TOUR qualifiers.
Most courses I have ever played offer tees that make the game enjoyable for every ability. You may need to play up to find the right length, but those tees do exist. And if they don't have the right set for you, invent your own tees.
Lastly, when it comes to families and golf, I am aware of this as much as anyone. I have three kids and from time to time they have all been involved in different activities. Golf is in line with most all of the other activities they have tried. Golf is comparable to other activities like dance, hockey, soccer and gymnastics. In the Twin Cities, a junior season pass costs from $200 to $400. And at most courses that is unlimited play.
So from my side of the fence, I still see golf as about the same as it was 35 years ago when it comes to affordability and difficulty. Is it the same game as it was 100 years ago? No it is not, but in many ways it should not be the same. Most changes are for the better.
Scott Roth is PGA head professional at Victory Links at the National Sports Center, Blaine.

Well, the big challenge there is that each replication system uses a different methodology, so you're unlikely to come up with anything that would be common between any two systems.

Just how long should this area take to heal? It's really large and red. Will it scar?
How Long Before Blister from Photofacial Heals?
Doctor Answers 4
A blister after IPL PhotoFacial should be shown to your doctor.
You're not likely going to get a scar, but the Texas sun can leave you with a brown spot. The right thing to do is to visit your doctor for evaluation and management.
I hope this helps, and best regards.
A couple of weeks

Blister healing after photofacial
A blister typically heals over about 2 weeks. Rarely would this leave a permanent scar, but you can have residual hyperpigmentation that can last for weeks to months. It is critical to avoid sun, and to have a dermatologist treat the blister and any pigmentation related to it so as to expedite its resolution. Its always better to avoid a blister by making sure you're getting treatment at a highly qualified professional's office such as a dermatologist. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

It is difficult to assess whether you will scar or not. I recommend that you see your doctor for further evaluation. It is best to keep it protected from the sun as much as possible.

kayak fishing Hilton Head
I am an active kayak fisherman on Hilton Head Island, chasing Reds and Specks through the beautiful creeks and sounds of the Lowcountry of Ga. and S.C.
Love to share the area with you.
I guide for Blue Water Marine @ South Beach Marina on HHI,SC.
Re: kayak fishing Hilton Head
Does that mean that if I come down you'll take me out floating rivers and camping. I'll need to be picked up at the airport because I'll have no car. I will bring my own fishing gear so that wont be a worry for you. I don't have much money so this is GREAT!
Finally someone who just wants to share the good times, cool.

Bloodsuckers don't suck blood to be mean. When they take blood out of an animal it is because they need the blood to survive.
We call the animals that bloodsuckers take blood from "hosts."
Female mosquitoes, horseflies, and deer flies are bloodsuckers that need proteins and fats in the host's blood so they can develop their eggs. When it's time to reproduce, these bloodsuckers eat a blood meal.
This bug is a deer fly. Its mouthparts let it poke and suck blood. Wouldn't those eyes make cool sunglasses??

The Converse Chuck Taylor is about as basic of a shoe as you're going to get and in recent months it's come back onto the scene as one of the most sought after shoes in the market. Some of it might be due to the buzz it's garnered thanks to the collaborations with Hiroshi, other parts of it may be due to the fact that consumers are looking for cheaper shoes that they can wear with anything, or it could just be that the creative minds at Converse are continuously able to come up with fresh ideas for the Chuck Taylor that give it a new look while still maintaining it's classic feel. That's the case in point with the newest "Leather Jacket" Chuck Taylor which is part of the larger Converse Century Collection, this particular model will be available at select Converse retailers in July. via Sneaker Freaker

PUDSEY Congs and Townville will meet in this season's Solly Sports Heavy Woollen Cup final at Spen Victoria on Sunday, August 3.
Townville defeated All Rounder Cricket Equipment Central Yorkshire League rivals Methley by 80 runs, while Congs crushed Kirkburton by 207 runs.
It will be league champions Townville's second final in three seasons after they lost to Wrenthorpe at Liversedge in 2012.
But for JCT600 Bradford League side Congs, it will be their first appearance in a Heavy Woollen Cup final.
Congs have been reserving their best form for this competition and piled up 352-8 as they overcame Huddersfield League opponents Kirkburton, who had seen off holders Hanging Heaton and Woodlands in the previous two rounds.
Callum Geldart led the run spree with a sparkling 110. He struck two sixes and ten fours and was joined in a first-wicket stand of 168 by Nick Lindley (69). Mubtada Akhtar (35) and Andrew Bairstow (33) added to the misery of the Kirkburton bowlers.
Iqbal Khan made 50 for Kirkburton but his colleagues faltered against the bowling of Mustafa Rafique (5-48) and Geldart (3-33) as they were bowled out for 145.
Townville made 237-9 against Methley, with Connor Harvey making 55 and Matt Bremmer 36, while Marcus Walmsley (3-36) proved to be the most successful Methley bowler.
Their reply was dominated by skipper Chris Holliday, who made 91 as they were bowled out for 157, with Dean Woolsey taking 4-46.
Meanwhile, the Solly Sports Crowther Cup final will be an all-Bradford League affair when neighbours Morley and New Farnley meet at Methley on Monday, August 25.
Morley batsman Sam Medley played a superb innings of 171, which helped his side to 342-6 at Hanging Heaton.
Naved Siddique (77) and Richard Winn (45) also got in on the act as only Adeel Hafeez (4-44) emerged with decent figures.
Chasing such a big target was always going to be difficult and Heaton were bowled out for 189, with spinner Jack Murphy taking 3-52.
New Farnley cruised into the final with a nine-wicket win at Skelmanthorpe.
Rishi Limbechaya took 4-28 and Will Swift 3-23 as they dismissed the home side for 135. Farnley were carried to victory by Craig Russell, who made an unbeaten 96.

India Capital Growth Fund Limited

India Capital Growth Fund Limited (the "Company" or "ICGF")
31 December 2010 NAV Statement
Net Asset Values
The Company announces its net asset values per share as at 31 December 2010:
Net asset value per share - undiluted: 73.92 pence
Net asset value per share - fully diluted: 73.92 pence
Portfolio Update
Fund Performance
The portfolio finished the year with an overall increase in the NAV of 24%, albeit with a slightly disappointing December. Although in sterling terms the net asset value rose 2.5% for the month, this was due entirely to the strength of the Indian rupee which rose 3.2% in December. The fall of 0.8% local currency terms can be compared to a 0.5% rise in the BSE Midcap index for December. The explanation for this performance is a mixture of poor stock specifics in a few cases and sector allocation. Following a series of incidents that knocked the market's confidence in November, the main board stocks recovered quickly. This was not the case for the medium and smaller companies which gave up most and have recovered (so far) by much less.
To an extent this is the nature of the beast, nevertheless there are two principal reasons. First, while the issues of November remain unresolved and are still fresh in investor's minds, the quality bias favours the larger companies with more transparency and better corporate governance, at least at the mean. Secondly, volumes in the market have also been affected by these events and this has been compounded by the traditional collapse of liquidity in the run up to the New Year. Our expectation is that this will correct itself, but how and when depends on the degree of further bad news emanating from these events and whether foreign investors continue to favour India in 2011 to the same extent as they did in 2010.
The defensive areas of healthcare and utilities held up well this month and whilst the exposure to the former is sufficient the performance of the stocks within it was disappointing. Portfolio heavyweight Bilcare fell 1.6% on thin volumes, whilst Opto Circuits fell 4.5% in the same mould. The portfolio has no exposure to utilities and recent events are unlikely to change that view. In consumer staples it was a case of "having no sugar", an exceptionally volatile area of the midcap market which performed brilliantly this month. Once again recent events are unlikely to change that view. Stock selection was positive in the materials space where Sterlite (up 16%), Bhushan Steel (up 9%) and Rain Commodities (up 8%) all performed well; but United Phosphorus was the let-down falling 8% as the market digested the most recent acquisition and the equity dilution from the conversion of some outstanding debentures. In the areas of financials, industrials and IT the portfolio performed adequately.
Market Outlook
As is generally the case the outlook remains a concoction of the constructive and the worrisome. The recent rise in the oil price is further pressurising the current account deficit. This is not a problem today as the deficit is adequately financed and the balance of payments remains in surplus. The financing however is dependent on a high component of portfolio inflows and these can prove temporary in times of market stress. In addition, although price inflation is expected to continue to trend down in the near term there are signs that medium term outlook maybe for upward pressure that the market has not yet factored in. This will come not only from the rise in international commodity prices, some of which will inevitably be passed onto the consumer, but also from domestic food inflation which at the wholesale level rose 14.4% for the week ended December 18th, a ten month high. In the recent monetary policy review the Reserve Bank kept the level of interest rates unchanged but the bias remains hawkish and more rate hikes are expected in the early part of 2011.
On the positive side, the latest Industrial Production report showed a rise of 10.8% year over year for October prompting some upward revisions to next year's GDP forecasts. Although clearly good news, this is also adding to the inflationary debate. But as capacity utilisation levels increase, opportunities arise in the economy and in particular the capital goods sector. Corporates are in a strong position to increase capital expenditures to match the pickup in demand and this bodes well for revenues and earnings. In addition the government has started to signal that the heavily delayed infrastructure spending plan will shortly regain momentum, boosting order books and easing liquidity in the banking system. Evidence of this has already come to light from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) which has signalled it is ready to step up the pace of road projects significantly.
As the New Year progresses it may be necessary make small adjustments to the emphasis of certain areas of the portfolio to take account of the changing economic environment. This is the norm. Underlying that however remains the long term belief that the structural drivers of the Indian economy continue apace, and that the mid and small cap areas of the market capture the most interesting and cheapest ways to play these exciting themes. We are looking forward to another year of positive returns from the Indian market.

Creating an amazing video isn't enough to harness the power of a viral hit. Millions of search engine users are looking for interesting and exciting recorded content to watch. Taking care to optimise your videos will give you a much greater return on your investment. If you want to see your sales figures rise with the help of a promotional clip, try these four simple tips for greater search engine optimisation.
Create Video Sitemaps
Most companies embed their videos into their website, even if they also load them up for hosting on an external site. Building a sitemap that includes information on your videos will help Google, Bing and other search engines to index your content properly. These sitemaps are text files that include the title of the piece, related tags and descriptions that you can inject with proper keywords. This file is different from the sitemap used to navigate a website and uses a specific protocol determined by the search engine.
Utilise a Variety of Sites
Whilst you can use SEO tactics alone to get viewers onto your website to see new videos, adding the clips to external hosting sites can provide a boost in total views. YouTube is the obvious choice, but it is not the only one. Consider uploading your videos to Vimeo, Google Video, Yahoo! Video and BrightCove. Each host can offer a range of users that only browse that particular network. Some also provide powerful promotional tools for free or for a small fee.
Use Your Analytics
It's much easier to make effective videos when you track the behaviour and profiles of the people who watch them. Learn from your past successes and mistakes to make each clip better than the last. YouTube has a full set of analytics tools for users. You can see the number of views on each video and note which topics and presentations were the most popular. Check the average age and gender of viewers to find an untapped demographic or to adjust your approach if you aren't reaching your target groups.
End With A Call To Action
Each video should encourage viewers to take action, even if you are just asking for a Like on your Facebook page. Finish up each video with a reminder to make a purchase or sign up for an email list. The search engines tend to rank YouTube producers higher when they amass large amounts of followers, so request that your fans show their support by subscribing to your channel.

It's being called the plague of the twenty-first century.
60-million adults are now obese. It costs 147-billion dollars yearly to treat it. Now, a new less invasive procedure is helping people who have tried everything, to finally get control of their weight.
It doesn't take long for costume designer Courtney Gileo to help actors transform. "I'm altering a vintage dress for a dance piece for west side story."
Now, Courtney is working to transform herself. Yo-Yoing from 120 to 330 pounds Courtney tried a new procedure at UC- San Diego called Stomach Plication. Think of it as stomach origami! "Instead of dividing the stomach, in gastric plication, we take the stomach and we fold it in upon itself."
Unlike gastric bypass, it's reversible. Surgeons don't use permanent staples to decrease the size of the stomach. And they don't reroute the small intestine. "What we are seeking to do is to minimize that risk," says Garth R. Jacobsen MD.
It's the most minimally invasive procedure to reduce the stomach's size by as much as 70 percent.
After stomach plication, Courtney lost 40 pounds in five weeks. "I'm not hungry. I don't have the same hunger signals."
She's happy and so is her husband. "He's just really happy for me, so it's amazing."
There are some downsides to the procedure, like gastric reflux, but the doctor says it decreases over time.
Doctors say most patients can expect to lose two pounds per week with stomach plication.

January 29, 2013
During our time in South America, we are visiting six countries and one territory (French Guiana). Argentina is the country where we will spend most of our time, totaling almost one month. The eighth largest country in size in the world, Argentina has a variety of terrain, as well as history and culture. We began our time in Argentina by visiting two of its cities: Córdoba and Mendoza.
Córdoba is Argentina's second-largest city, after Buenos Aires, with a population of about 1.3 million people. To get here, we took our second overnight bus journey in five nights from Montevideo, Uruguay. Upon our arrival in Córdoba, we spent a couple of hours chasing down a SIM card for Darren's phone. In countries where we spend an extended amount of time, having a local SIM card (and phone number) helps with local area coordination. After asking several people for directions, we finally ended up at a mall with a mobile carrier store in which you take a number to be helped. It was a busy place and we had to wait about 40 minutes for our number to be called. Finally armed with a SIM card, we began our city discovery in earnest.
Located near the geographical center of Argentina, Córdoba is known as a college town as the home of several schools, including the oldest university in Argentina, the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. It was founded in 1613, 40 years after the city was established. In 1599, the Jesuit order arrived in this small settlement, and, in addition to founding the university, they also created what is known today as the Manzana Jesuítica or Jesuit Block. This area, which contains schools, a church (called Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús) and residential buildings, is located right in the heart of Córdoba. The Jesuits also built six estancias (ranches) around the province of Córdoba to support the Manzana Jesuítica. All of these sites were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000.
We explored the downtown area of Córdoba, beginning in the central San Martin Plaza, which dates from 1577. It is named after José de San Martín, who was an Argentinian general and a leader in gaining Argentina's independence from Spain. The central cathedral, Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, stands at one end of the square. Its construction began late in the 16th century and took over 200 years.
After visiting the Iglesia Cathedral and the buildings in the Jesuit Block, we decided to take a day trip to one of the estancias. We found the mini-bus terminal a short distance away and tried to determine where the ticket office might be. Everything takes a little longer for us as there is no English spoken and we have limited Spanish language skills. We finally found the ticket office in the basement and communicated our request. The woman behind the counter wrote on our ticket that the mini-bus would leave from platform six in five minutes. After going back upstairs we discovered that the platforms started at number seven! As we attempted to communicate with several people around us we discovered that the mini-bus had pulled up right in front of where we were standing!
Relieved, we boarded the vehicle, and 45 minutes later, we arrived in the town of Alta Gracia, which is the closest of the six estancias to Córdoba. Estanica complexes contain their own church and set of buildings. Unfortunately, Alta Gracia's church was closed for renovations, but we were able to tour the other buildings of the estancia.
After three days in Córdoba, we took a 12 hour bus journey to Mendoza, which is Argentina's fourth-largest city. In Mendoza, we got our first glimpse of the Andes Mountains to the west of the city. These form the border with Chile, and its capital city, Santiago, is only about 240 miles away from Mendoza. Located in this Andes range is the mountain of Aconcagua, which is the highest peak in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres at 22,837 feet (6,961 meters).
Mendoza is situated on a long, narrow strip of desert landscape that is adjacent to the Andes and, as it was hot and humid in Córdoba, we welcomed the change to a hot and dry climate here. We found the downtown area a joy to walk around and, in the process, we visited five plazas that are located just a few blocks apart from each other. Walking around Mendoza, one would not know it was in a desert. The streets are lined with thousands of large, shady trees. The Huarpes tribe, who lived here prior to European settlement, created an irrigation system that was later refined by the Spanish. The acequias, or irrigation ditches, run along all city streets and keep the estimated 100,000 trees watered and growing.
Irrigation is also important to the agriculture in the area, which includes apples, pears, tomatoes, onions, plums, olives, cherries and peaches. Olive oil production and wine making are two of Mendoza's main industries. In fact, the Mendoza region accounts for 70% of Argentina's total wine production and is the largest area in South America.
Now, after our city discoveries of history and culture, we will continue to move south in Argentina toward the Patagonia region. Here, our focus will change to smaller towns and natural activities, including our next trek in a couple of weeks.

It's simple, and free.
The warrant for equity stock purchases associated with the corporate bond issue would assure that dilution of existing ownership would occur only within terms prescribed in the issuing agreement, and that market value of the shares would be paid by those investor exercising the warrants.
The interest costs associated with the bond issue are significant. The question of generating the desired level of capital through either and IPO or a bond placement must be determined on the issue of corporate control: Is the retention of control worth $8.3 million?
The value of the Johnstown Corporation was estimated through the application of four methodologies. These methodologies are (1) 1.5 times book value, (2) six times cash flow, (3) 21 times 1987 earnings, and 18 times estimated 1988 earnings. Based on these methodologies, the estimated values of the firm are as follows:
1. 1.5 times book value: $5.4 million.
2. Six times cash flow: $16.2 million.
3. 21 times 1987 earnings: $37 million.
4. 18 times estimated 1988 earnings: $34.7 million.
A mean of the four estimates would yield an estimated value of the firm of $23.3 million. The probability, however, is that the $16.2 cash flow-based estimate is the most accurate, as that value corresponds relatively well with the P/E-based value based on 1987 data.
The American steel industry is divided into two major groups·the integrated steelmakers and the general steelmakers. The integrated steelmakers use iron ore and coke in the production of carbon steel, while the general steelmakers use ferrous scrap in the production of carbon steel. In 1988, the integrated group accounted for two-thirds (66.7 percent) of American steel output with the remaining 33.3 percent being produced by the general steelmakers. Those percentages do not represent market shares for the two groups of producers, however, because foreign steelmakers held a 21 percent share of the American steel mark...

See what great love the Father has for us that He would call us His children. And that is what we are. For this reason the people of the world do not know who we are because they did not know Him. 1 John 3:1
When God sends a message to us through scripture it is never by accident. In Isaiah 55:11, God says that wherever He sends His word it never returns empty, but always achieves the special purpose for which it was sent.
Prayerfully consider the bible verse that inspired this painting and know that the Mighty God of all the heavens has reached out to touch you this moment!
VerseVisions is a contemporary Christian art ministry whose purpose is to share the love and message of God to all people through art and scriptural words of encouragement. VerseVisions Christian themed paintings are inspired by bible verses.
Through the posting of this painting online, God's word is seen by thousands of people in countries all over the world. In some of these countries it is illegal to even own a Bible; yet a powerful message from Gods word is shared through Christian artwork that caught a seekers eyes.
The internet is filled with lost souls searching for answers to difficult questions. We have a Shepherd in heaven, Jesus Christ who longs to care and protect us all if we will seek Him and surrender our lives to his Lordship.

Grains are so good for you and I love these pancakes. They are easy to make and taste wonderful. Add some maple syrup, sorghum or honey along with your favorite fruit for a great breakfast.
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats (could use rolled oats, too)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (could use regular milk)
1/2 cup nuts or your choice (Optional)
Whisk together the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, all-purpose flour, oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Stir in melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs and buttermilk. Fold in nuts. Spray a griddle or skillet with cooking spray and cook pancakes until brown on both sides and done in the middle. Makes 8 to 10 medium sized pancakes. Enjoy!

This page is about the eponym atlas
Meaning: a book of maps
For example:
- If you don't know the capital city of Texas, check the atlas.
- Look in the index of the atlas to find the names of Manitoba's lakes.
Origin: Atlas was the god of astronomy and navigation in a group of ancient Greek gods called the Titans. When the Titans lost a battle against the Olympian gods for control of the heavens, Zeus, the Olympian leader, punished Atlas. Atlas was forced to hold the heavens on his shoulders. This mythological figure was often featured on the cover of early map collections. These books eventually became known as atlases. Atlas was generally depicted (wrongly) holding the world rather than the heavens on his shoulders.
Quick Quiz:
Why might someone need to consult an atlas?

text: Hi everyone! My name is Sam, I'm 26 years old and I love WDW (I guess you probably know that). WDW is the only Disney Park I've been to...I often think about trying the others but whenever I lay out my budget for them I just think of all the ways I could use that money in WDW creature of habit I guess. I love talking about WDW and preppy fashion...the fashion bit I get out of my system through my blog, instagram, etc. so I'm excited to be part of a community of so many Disney fans! I typically stay away from internet forums because of the negativity, trolling, and those people who start fights over EVERYTHING...but this one seems different (I hope!!) I've been going to Disney since I was 18 months so I consider myself pretty well versed, but not foolish enough to think I know everything. I'm excited to swap ideas and opinions with such a big community!
