Tell us , mister know-it-all, what else was in the statement?
It doesn't matter. Non-tenured faculty at most institutions can be let go at any time, for any reason. It happens all the time.

So lets inundate it in a few hundred years.
As well as every other coastal city on the planet.

Thanks Ed for the mild critique and elaboration of past avenues of inquiry.
Yes, i noticed the degree of uncertainty in the posted paper, but hey just add words like propose and unknown to the other qualifiers so prevalent in the literature. It's about time for the science and scientists to admit that there is much more unknown than known as far as mechanisms and effects regulating natural and the "proposed" anthropogenic climate change.
A few thoughts- we orbit in an outer spiral arm 30,000 light years (presently ?) from the core of an elliptical galaxy, no? The center is tremendously energetic, probably ruling out life near it, so since our orbit is elliptical it stands to reason that the 30,000 light year figure is highly variable and our position in the orbit regulates the degree of GCR flux as much as anything else. Where are we in the orbit in current time, anyone know?
Yes Ed, i'd read a synopsis' of the CLOUD paper. Svensmark has also performed more of his own experiments and see's positives as well as negatives in the CLOUD data as pertaining to his hypothesis. And what do you know, China is helping more than anyone else in keeping us cool by the negative feedback provided by their abundant release's of pollutants. Is Dr. F going to have to reverse engineer the LA air?
Getting back to Venus, does anyone know why the density of it's atmosphere is so much greater than Earth's. What keeps all that aloft yet bound to the planet rather than escaping to space? Mars has an atmosphere that has an even higher ratio of CO2 than Venus yet an atmosphere quite a bit thinner than Earth's-what is the physics responsible for the three planets difference in atmospheric density? I have a pretty good idea but lack the expertise for accurate verbal description.

Oh.. that is you lying bitewad. Came from your Summitpost post. NOTHING ever goes away.
wow, back to stalking I see?
watch out, FARTMENTAL, mental midget over here might call your work place and try to get you in trouble. I guess being a decrepit desk jockey does that to a person.. makes them all bitter and angry at the world.
don't be jealous of others who actually climb, THE CHEF. learn to love yourself. it helps.

This is PTC reincarnated.
Awesome.
Have fun, kids.

She has low self esteem TGT, doesn't get it often and she imagines that to be her partners response.
Ed, i was going to advance a face saving (for you guys) hypothesis based upon a mechanism for variable atmospheric pressure on Earth over geological time and a mechnism for atmospheric expansion and contraction in current times in response to total atmospheric content in the Earth system. Atmospheric density, much more than ratio of content, regulates planetary temperatures. The three planets difference of density go a long way to suggest this.
Is there any observations of the positions of the various atmospheric layers ongoing? With what kind of detail is average Earth atmospheric density measured and to what extent in this observed regularly?

Dang, Gina.
I cannot wait for the answer to this.
Seriously.

What, not even curious? Permit me to transport all you hotheads back in time to the early 70's. Don't you remember your first Earth Day, the cheese, the wine, the pot, perhaps the acid? You were all young and energetic ( at least when you weren't to stoned) wannabe hippies communing amongst nature and discussing your lofty ideals? You guys had positive visions back then, before life got in the way, and negativity took hold. The hypothesis i want to advance was much discussed then, it was called Gaia. You might as well reaquaint yourselves with your youth because what passes as science from your quarter is getting more incredible with each passing day. Doom, doom, doom, climate apocalypse.

Daria, she was here posting nude shots, which is why she's gone, I think.
