Heat dumping is done outside the room, of course, but that's a separate airflow, one that's generally disconnected from the room. The cool AC flow itself is usually a closed cycle …

It would depend on the situation. For a single room system, generally no; for a multi-room system, generally yes if the other rooms are empty or at least relatively less crowded th…

Conveniently not mentioned is this article is the fact that normal CO2 concentrations in human lungs are about 40,000ppm - or about 100x higher than current background levels, and …

No, I'm using them to discredit some of the thinking in the article. You did read the article, didn't you? It's pretty simple-minded stuff. But I do have to ask: If that 100F tempe…

A couple of questions which need to be asked and answered: When Anchorage hit its previous record of 85F back in 1969, was that a "tipping point" and a sign of impending climate do…

Is it still being claimed that young Greta can "see" CO2 with her naked eyes?

It's been pointed out that if these protests hadn't been used as an excuse for skipping school - that if they had generally been held on non-school days - then the turnouts would p…

I did a quick background check of the ones that I could but I don't remember the details; none appeared to have proper training in climate matters, though, that I recall. But just …

Merkel’s decision to prematurely shut down Germany's generally safe and successful nuclear power program was quite frankly just stupid.

Did you consider remote, on-shore resources? Perhaps work-at-home folks, or those working remotely from other US cities? I ask because I've run into people who would otherwise norm…

I'm getting quite annoyed now with the number of people who have little to no training in matters of climate getting called "climate scientists" by the press, or representing thems…

Cellophane is basically a form of paper but it looks and feels like plastic. It's been around forever and is completely biodegradable. I expect that this packaging is maybe just ne…

My experience dealing with such folks 10 or 15 years ago was that even if the person presented to you as the "provider" was actually the person doing the work (and not just a front…

If they survive this experience, there will probably still be good money to be made helping clean up the mess which will no doubt occur here.

> We only have two operating systems now Windows and Linux. That all depends on what platform(s) you're using. For example, IBM still gives you zOS, AIX, the System i OS, and so on…

Having spent my entire career with one foot on the "legacy" side of things (mainframe-like systems) and the other on the Wintel side, I can tell you that I've had to deal with any …

> Was there never a firmware bug that would take down an entire mainframe? Yes, there was quite an ugly one not that long ago in fact. A local mega-corporation which still has some…

Pretty much all of the related documentation is publicly available, AFAIK, and freely accessible on the internet from what I can tell. This availabilty is actually a legal requirem…

Open a terminal session on pretty much any platform. If it defaults to being 80 columns wide, guess where that width comes from.

Why the change?

If you've read a few of the relevant papers and reports like I have, then you would know that they routinely state that they assume that most of the errors and uncertainties and su…

At the time I went back later to look at the data again, almost none of the various links on the relevant web pages still worked. Some working links claimed to link to both raw and…

Check my comment history from another thread a little while back to see details about problems I've found with Berkeley Earth. But the short version is that the charts and graphics…

Yes I have, actually, as I've already pointed out in my other comments. But that was about ten years ago, using data that was made available (and then only under duress) at the tim…

I probably wouldn't call it fraud (others might, though) as much as I would call it scientific incompetence in general (it appears that many "scientists" these days, across a numbe…
