OK, many thanks Dave! I think that all the wind turbine stuff is horse-hair. There is always money behind it somewhere. As Sherman Tekumseh Sherman said: “Voc Populi, Vox Humbug”. I am no great fan of Sherman, but on this occasion he was right. One can make people believe anything at all.

Myron,

A website I recommend to understand what is really going on with respect to the climate issuse is www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com,

A website I recommend to understand what the ‘bailout’ in the U.S. is all about is www.worldreports.org. The latest newspost is long, but quite revealing of the unbelievable corruption in Washington, District of Criminals.

Another website with a Russian view of news not covered by western media is www.whatdoesitmean.com.

This is the derivation from Marion and Thornton chapter one. Also given are relations in cylindrical polar and spherical polar coordinates, and how they reduce to plane polar coordinates. Eqs. 4 for linear total velocity v and 5 for total accelaration a can be used to derive the force F = ma from a given relation between r and theta, such as a log spiral trajectory. So a given log spiral trajectory corresponds to a given force. The latter is interpreted as the force due to spinning spacetime. The kinetic energy can be calculated as

T = (1/2) m v squared

The force can be defined as

F bold = - del V

where V is a potential energy. So we can construct the total energy

E = T + U

and the lagrangian

L = T - U

For motion in a plane such as this, the angular momentum J and the energy E are constants of motion. So these methods can form the basis for a new paper. In paper 123 we have already succeeded in deriving a log spiral orbit form a constant spacetime angular momentum, and a constant v limit.

Fwd: Power Absorption Coefficient for Infinite Absorption

Subject: Power Absorption Coefficient for Infinite Absorption
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 06:14:38 EST

This is the case I = 0, so I0 / I is infinite. For carbon dioxide the opposite is true, I0 / I is about one (I about equal to I0, nearly all the radiation goes through the carbon dioxide because very little of it is absorbed), and one needs a long path length d to observe any absorption at all. One can fill a plastic spectral absorption cell with carbon dioxide and subject it to radiation from a broad band source such as that in an interferometer. You can leave the cell there for as long as you want, it will not heat up at all. On the other hand, in a microwave oven, any sample that contains water will heat up as it absorbs the microwaves. You can cook your pizza. If you put a plastic gas cell full of carbon dioxide in a microwave oven, it will not heat up. The intensity of micorwave irradiation in an oven is far greater than the intensity of sunlight reaching the atmosphere. So the whole thing about carbon dioxide is totally wrong. You need not know any theory at all to see this, just fill up a plastic cell with carbon dioxide and place it in your microwave. It will not heat up because it will not absorb at microwve freqeuncies. The power absorption coeffiicient is

alpha = (1 / d) loge I0 / I

Total absorption means I = 0, so alpha infinite. Total absorption means the sample will rapidly heat up. For carbon dioxide, I / I0 is about one unless you have an accurate spectrometer. Al Gore needs to go into a far infra red laboratory such as room 262 of the EDCL at Aberystwyth, or use his microwave at home.

Fwd: Power Absorption Coefficient and the Beer Lambert Law

Subject: Power Absorption Coefficient and the Beer Lambert Law

By reference to my Ph. D. Thesis, D. Sc. thesis, and many refereed papers on the Omnia Opera of _www.aias.us_ (http://www.aias.us) one can find the definition of the power absorption coefficient:

alpha = (1 / d) loge I0 / I

where d is the path length, I is the intensity or power density of radiation at the detector, I0 is the original intensity before it is absorbed by the carbon dioxide. So carbon dioxide in the far infra red is a low absorber, it has no dipole so the absorption is collision induced (quadrupole induced dipole absorption). The units of the power absorption coefficient are neper per wavenumber, and alpha is characteristic of the spectrum - alpha plotted against wavenumber is the spectrum. Carbon dioxide cannot absorb an infinite amount of radiation, otherwise alpha would be zero everywhere. Such is not the case, carbon dioxide has a spectrum. It absorbs only at certain frequencies. In the far infra red / microwave region water is far more heavily absorbing than carbon dioxide, but water does not absorb infinitely either. In the far infra red, infra red and visible, carbon dioxide is such a low absorber that a long path length cell is needed to observe alpha. There is essentially no heating of the sample due to absorption. Carbon dioxide at atmospheric pressures has essentially no absorption because it has no dipole. It has quadrupole and hexadecapole, but no dipole. For this type of work at Aberystwyth I was awarded the Harrison Memorial Prize and Meldola Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

The planet will not heat up due to carbon dioxide because I0 / I cannot become infinite in the Beer Lambert Lw. This is a trace gas compared with water, the main gases in the atmosphere are nitrogen (about 80%) and oxygen (about 20%). None of these gases will cause run away heating. They have not done so for 4,000 million years. Obviously, in that time the Earth has developed a self regulatory mechanism. Of far greater danger to the Earth are holes in the ozone layer and pollutants other than carbon dioxide, which is needed by plants, which in turn create oxygen for mammals. Of far greater danger to the Earth i steh ripping apart of the landscape in order to make profit - wind turbines.

So this is why Al is spouting all that hot air, in order to make a profit. Should that surprise a four year old?

Urge everyone to read ‘The Sun Kings’ by Stuart Clark, published by Princeton University Press. If after reading this historical account of the observational work of such as the Herschels and Maunder, people still accept what some would have us believe then they must be truly gullible! Jeremy.

Many thanks for this! I think that people must either be only half educated or never study anything, so are always subject to mediaeval troll disease. This is similar to foot and mouth, people mouth it out and put their feet in it. As Al says, “the science is in”.

Many thanks! I have translated part of the fourteenth century cywydd to May: “Mai” by Dafydd ap Gwilym, and will see if I can translate some of Guto’r Glyn (fifteenth century). These are two of the best mediaeval strict metre bards. They cannot really be translated without losing a lot - but I try to capture the essence, the meaning, rhythm and rhyme. The originals also have cynghanedd, an intricate poetic art. The motto of my arms is a line of my own cynghanedd: “Poer y llwch o’r pair llachar”. Roughly translated (without cynghanedd, rhytm or metrical structure) this means “Dust pours from the fiery cauldron” - a tribute to the coal miners. The original line is seven syllables, and divided into two halves which echo each other through alliteration of consonants, (cynghanedd, which means “singing”) so we have: p, r, ll, ch, r” echoed by p, r, ll, ch, r. The line must also have poetic meaning and literal meaning, and so must not be over burdened by mere technique.

Fwd: There is No Man Made Global Warming

Subject: There is No Man Made Global Warming
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 12:40:41 EST

This is a short synopsis from an article sent to me this morning. There is no doubt at all that coal fired power stations are the way forward in areas with large reserves of coal. There is no danger at all from CO2 emission, only from pollutants that can be scrubbed as usual.

1) There has been no stable climate during the Holocene, large changes in climate have been normal, and these were not man made. 2) The Mann hockey stick is a blatant fraud propagated by politicians who probably have vested interest in selling wind turbines. 3) Gore is abusive to opponents and the media employ macarthyist methods as in the case of Bellamy and the BBC. 4) Temperature change drives CO2 change not the other way around. 5) The alarmists are turning coat, they now say that global warming, so called, is amplified by CO2, and not caused by it. This is utter nonsense. CO2 only has a limited ability to absorb heat, by its spectral properties and the Beer Lambert law of absorption. It has absorbed almost all it can already. 6) The ocean atmospheric effects are self regulatory, as is obvious over millions of years of time. 7) Climate is driven by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, we are entering in to its cool phase now. 8) The sun has entered a phase of low sun spot activity - so for a quarter century the climate will cool, not heat up. reducing CO2 emission will have essentially no effect on the climate, but will devastate the eonomy. 9) The earth’s climate is tremendously complex, what we need is an urgent search for new energy, in the meantime coal, gas and oil power stations are perfectly safe. Wind turbines are essentially useless.

Fwd: Opposition to Wind Turbines

Subject: Opposition to Wind Turbines
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 09:52:37 EST

There is worldwide and growing opposition to wind turbines, and one good site is _www.aweo.org_ (http://www.aweo.org) . I suggest that SOCME and nineteen other opposition groups get in contact with internationally coordinated teams of lawyers who will work on a no win no fee basis. Injunctions should be sought now to prohibit wind turbine proposals on Mynydd y Gwair, an area of supreme natural beauty. There is essentially 100% opposition to the Mynydd y Gwair development, so the Swansea Council’s planning committee has no option but to throw out the proposal entirely, or face tremendous electoral anger, and legal actions for malfeasance and neglect of duty. There are many definitive arguments against global warming and wind turbines. I see that the Governor of Maryland, for example, has banned wind turbines. If the Swansea County planning committee flies in the face of unanimous opposition, it will cause outrage and bitter resentment for generations to come and continuous disruption of the wid turbine farm in as many legal ways possible, including strike action. There are many environmental and health concerns raised all over teh world by these turbines. Off shore turbine farms are proliferating, but are they of any use? The opinion is that they are not, because of intermittency (_www.socme.org_ (http://www.socme.org) and _www.aias.us_ (http://www.aias.us) ) and inadequate geneation, plus any other reasons. Wind power is about the least efficient method of power generation. If it were of any use, all turbine farms could be placed off shore or in already industrialzied areas. These have just as much wind.
