Hey Rich...
Long time No Talk..
I'd read an article on that a while back but I really can't recall the main points right now. I remember thinking that it seemed to make sense, but I didn't look into it further.
Please, tell us about that angle.
Your Brother
John
I know very little.
I linked in some sites in earlier posts but most thought I was trying to deflect the issue from emissions or humans as being the fault.
Like you I agree that we need to be cleaner. Today's cars are cleaner so much cleaner you could run them for about a year straight before you made the same emissions one of the "Classics" do in a cruise up and down Woodward about an hour to 3 hours of run time.
Yet, people still want cheap electricity and most of that comes from Sulfur Coal and the emissions standards on the power plants are no where near that of what is required for vehicle including lawn mowers and motor cycles now in some states.
California actually had a requirement that 2% of all sales had to be Zero Emissions at the tail pipe. One company did it, and when none of the Japanese companies did it the state wondered why? Then they started to listen to the reports of the COST to the tax payer. It would have cost thousands of dollars to the infrastructure and then thousands more for personal equipement and your range may not take up the coast. Once the people who made the laws realized it was a problem they could not spin and would take the blame for the cost. They dropped the plan.
California went to reduce the CO2 while Massachusetts went after NOx. The technology is out there to go after both to a certain point. And after that, you can optimize one way but not both. Now with a Federal ruling Only CARB or California may determine the direction and the other states can either join them or follow the EPA which usually lags CARB by a few years. The cost of optimizing both would add too much to the cost of car that many do not understand the cost of now.
As to Europe, they have less standards than the US, and allow a lot more NOx becuase they have a lot larger Diesel penetration into the market, they do not want to force the cost there. So when people who are not in the business make comments about the USA not knowing about Global Warming because of emissions they are making statements they do not understand. So when people make the comments about other systems not counting tell me that they only care about the political agenda to push forward a certain idea that if you went back to is either a knee jerk reaction to the people they can get them to vote or those involved are going to make money from it.
So, while I truly understand the issues at hand I was looking for an open ended discussion.
The Current Magnetic Pole has shifted from parts of Canada to be on its way to parts of Russia. This is a large shift in recent year as in ten years.

Since the core is moving and the Magnetic Pole is moving, maybe this is part of the cause of the Oceans heating up?
Nope, Rich you are stupid for suggesting such as we all know it is your car that you drive is doing more damage. Get it right it is Global Warming.
Then some state that the world will flood when the caps melt. I linked in a recent picture here as well that showed a lot of melt. Where are the floods? Oh yeah Rich your stupid comments about how Water as a solid displaces more then its' mass and thereby has a larger volume than as a liquid. So when the Ice melts that is in the water now it actually lowers the water table of the earth seas. Now the water on land still has to be counted for. But by then no one wants to talk about it as it is now a science problem and not a political issue.
So if the core is moving which takes energy, could the earth be heating up?
Could some of the energy be escaping into the oceans naturally?
Could some of the energy be the cause of the latest Typhoons and Hurricanes?
Could it also be the cause of a Tsunami?
Ah but Rich is nothing but a stupid stick jock who thinks he knows a little physics and just needs to be quiet. The questions he asks have no political agenda. He does not say no, he says possible but look at this as well and let us think about this.
Yet to make people think for themselves has been stated to be one of the hardest tasks. Even though I am not asking for that of everyone just asking for a discussion.
But I guess the INCONVENIENT TRUTH, does not matter when one is asked to look at the whole picture and the whole system.
Hence why I asked you John, hoping you had some information, that I might be able to read or disucss.
My apologies, for my soap box.
