 "Climategate Country Club"?
I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |

In the words of Pink Floyd -
"is there anybody out there?" I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |

Never seen it before.
It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies. –William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1952 |

RE: "Climategate Country Club"?
Yes, but not members apparently....
 I have had a look, but I'm reading up on the Eschenbach posts at WUWT at the moment - more like the way climate science should of been going for the last couple of decades. Specifically, http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/06/14/th...ypothesis/ and, http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/02/28/se...nsitivity/ The ideas raised seem to tie in with Wilde's Hot Water bottle effect to some degree, and a lot of what RSC writes. Some even seems to agreee with my own thinking (pure coincidence obviously...), and a lot of it is just plain old fashioned observation. Some also seem to be suggesting it relates to Miskolczi's works, but I can not see that myself, it was just that Miskolczi was rather vague about specifics.... My only "criticism" so far is that Eschenbach has dressed up an old idea (the earth climate viewed as a heat engine), and presented it with a new specific tropical heat cooling / regulating / governing mechanism/s. "Re-cycling" is the derigeur fashion these days, is it not........ Although the "sun's eye view" is a new and brilliantly good perspective point, to view the subject from. NB - I have given it a go and joined the country club, although I was worried by the question are you a climate scientist, I answered no, and was still let in, so it does not appear to be scientists only. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken. The hobgoblins have to be imaginary so that "they" can offer their solutions, not THE solutions. |

RE: "Climategate Country Club"?
Hopefully not, but I don't know what you mean by "Cheyenne Social Club in disguise",
should I be worried.. ? There are some names there I recognise, and I suspect I am "known of" to some already.

Hey, I posted something in this thread earlier, and now it is gone.
What happened? I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |

OK, maybe it was operator error.
