  • Letter: UN spreading global warming scare, Edmonton Journal

    Article Tags: ClimateGate, Letter, World Temperatures

    The science behind the theory that CO2 is driving so-called anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is a sham. It cannot be scientifically proven.

    Let us pretend that the UN’s central estimate of equilibrium “global warming” caused by CO2, allowing for all temperature feedbacks, is correct. In that case, temperature change, in Celsius degrees, is equal to 4.7 times the logarithm of the proportionate increase in CO2 concentration.

    First, check that this equation is correct by working out how much warming would occur if we doubled CO2 concentration. The warming would be 4.7 ln 2 = 3.26 Celsius degrees, exactly the central estimate given by the UN’s climate panel in its 2007 assessment report.

    For the past 10 years, according to the U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, global atmospheric CO2 concentration has risen at just two parts per million by volume per year, reaching 388 ppmv this year.

  • Kevin Federline Playgirl Magazine Nude Centerfold

    Don’t look now, but Kevin Federline’s naked body may soon grace the pages of Playgirl.

    Now that the plumped-up K-Fed is shedding the pounds — thanks to an appearance on the upcoming season of VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club — the father of four is considering showing off his new and improved bod Levi Johnston-style with a nude spread on the pages of the X-rated mag.

    “Kevin has been approached,” a friend of Britney Spears’ former flame divulged to The Irish Star this week. “He’s lost a lot of weight but still not where he wants to be physically, so he’s not going to decide to pose or not until his body is perfect.”


  • Mika Salo Gets 600 Hp Supercharged Camaro

    Camaro Motorsport just introduced a wide variety of performance parts for the new Camaro, which include a supercharger for the V8 engine. And what better way to advertise it then to deliver the first supercharged Camaro to a motorsport personality like ex-F1 driver, Mika Salo.

  • Windows Mobile 7 on track (as of October 2009)

    WMExperts forum member Interframe managed to extract some Windows Mobile 7 titbits from the 3 hours San Francisco Dev camp held by Microsoft in October this year.

    He recorded this exchange around the 2 hour mark.:

    Q: (roughly translated): "So Steve Ballmer went out and recently said "Windows Mobile 6.1 wasn’t what we wanted it to be, neither was 6.5", so with that in mind, when is 7 coming out?"
    …..
    (The WM7 developer added to what the others from the WM team had to say about the question)
    …..
    A: "I can give you a little inside information there Mike. I’m not gonna give you anymore than Loke gave you, but I can give you some context. My day job, is working on Windows Mobile 7. I own the calendar feature in fact. I had to try really really hard to convince my manager to let me come down here in San Fransisco and take a day off. All day long, working on 7, staying focused. Its on track.

    The reason its been delayed and you haven’t heard much about it is cause we had to go back to the drawing board with our strategy. Change things a little bit to be more competitive when we come out the door, so were not laughed at. We wanna make the same kind of impact the Zune HD made, if you look at Engadget and the blogosphere, people were very impressed with the Zune HD in many ways except for the lack of an app store.

    We wanna put out something that we’re all proud of, which is competitive on day one, we don’t wanna wait any longer."

    Other information extracted include: 

    • There won’t be an OTA update feature in WM6.5 (which should be obvious at this point) but they are serious about it for WM7
    • Definitely no Zune phone, but they are most certainly aware of trying to emulate that success with their new OS
    • Better graphics support in the OS and for developers too

    Interframe’s word-for-word transcript is available in WMExpert’s forums and the whole video is still on Ustream here.

  • You Could Not Make It Up: Sir Richard Branson: the airline owner on his new war by Rowena Mason, The Telegraph

    Article Tags: You could not make it up

    “Carbon is the enemy,” says Sir Richard Branson. “Let’s attack it in any possible way we can, or many people will die just like in any war.”

    With a certain sense of irony, the billionaire part-owner of five airlines has just jetted into Copenhagen, battleground of the international climate change talks, to warn fellow business leaders, politicians and campaigners about this apocalyptic scenario.

    Sir Richard, who is due to give a speech at an event on saving the rainforests, has no sooner sat down than launched into a diatribe against carbon dioxide, of which his Virgin Atlantic airline emits 4.8m tonnes per year.
