Axil you have no evidence here for variable decay rates. The groups who claim this have results too near to experimental error - and without coherent support. For example the idea that decay rates vary with distance from sun is contradicted by lack of evidence from asteroid radioisotope chronology. ...

A lot of people get into trouble by thinking that patents imply existence of proof of concept device. They don't. And if you trawl the literature you will find zany patents promising almost anything. They just have to promise it in sufficiently complex ways that they are not immediately rejected by ...

I've quoted Axil's reply at length because it is such superb technobabble (TB) and deserves to be thoroughly demolished. I made a number of criticisms of LENR, none of which the TB addresses. I guess a casual reader might thing that it is proposing some theory for LENR but you will see that it does ...

Today emissions are 35 bn tonnes CO2. That's from roughly 2bn industrialized inhabitants. So suppose 10bn people emit 5 times that. At the moment CO2 is rising about 2.8 ppm per year. In the worst case scenario, it would be rising at 14 ppm per year. It would rise linearly, because CO2 per head has...

So, reading the reports: Federal officials have estimated one every 2 min (you can bet that was a throw-away remark made by one official). Another (more serious) estimate was 28,000 per year from the bird people. The solar plant people estimate 1000 per years. So I'd put the true number somewhere be...

You see Tom the trouble we are in is not an accident that Obama is forced to deal with. He set it up. The Middle East is an accident set up 60 years ago and with no possible end in sight short of a Iran/Israeli nuclear war knocking heads together or 100% genocide of the Palestinians - in which case...

It makes me ill to say it, but she would have been a far better POTUS than the the guy we have in there now. She would beat him now assuredly. Still two more years of exponentially growing bad stuff before he is out. And then we'll have the most celebrated and adored "ex-president" on T.V. and comm...

or post some news on a delay of some sort.

This is where my money is. They are scamming, and in the classic behaviour of all scammers, they will post undefined delays and excuses once pressured.

They are good at it, and have lots of practise, so expect a masterclass.

http://news.yahoo.com/fewer-colorado-teens-think-pot-harmful-down-since-001017824.html As I predicted. So far the decline is small. We shall see how it goes for the full year. My contention is that Prohibition is not a deterrent to use but a vector for its spread. ‘What all the wise men promised ha...

Argument by authority and denial of flaws in the models... It's not possible to have a rational discussion if you insist on reflexively dismissing facts. I was not aware of any argument from authority. It was the reverse - I was saying why the denialists were likely to be wrong on psychological gro...

One point REPEATEDLY brought up by skeptics, NEVER properly addresses by the true believers that I've seen, is the discrepancy between models and real world measurement, both in gross quantity of warming and in distribution. On that one point alone I must conclude that the models are not a reliable...

Beck's paper describes in great detail how local conditions have to be taken into consideration during measurements, he describes Keeling's own mistakes in this regard. Also given is the acceptance of 19th century data in the Keeling curve described as too low by 19th century scientists from chemic...

I'd trust an astronaut driving any airplane I happen to be in over a warmist driving it every time. It's not WUWT saying it, it's NASA. There is no mystery, just a lot of warmists trying to adjust their way out of a completely busted theory. I'd trust an astronaut with a spacecraft or probably a pl...
