Open Thread #10

I’m off to ICCC6 today, ahead of time as I have other things to do in Washington ahead of the conference. Posting will be light. Guest posts are encouraged. Authoirs that may want to submit stories please use the link on the sidebar. Bear in mind that I generally don’t repost stories from other website sin entirety, so be sure to excerpt stories referenced elsewhere.

I have a request for the WUWT communty while I’m traveling.

My talk at ICCC6 is about uncertainty in the temperature record. While I think I’ve got a good handle on it, I welcome submissions and graphs/imagery that readers have to illustrate the issue. I may have already covered portions of it, but I can see your input as being helpful in pointing out things I may have missed. So why not crowdsource the issue?

Feel free to expand on the uncertainty issue in other data sets as well. Kemp/Mann 2011 for example that Willis has illustrated.

Anyone attending ICCC6 feel free to look me up to say hello. I’ll be the first speaker in the first session.

There is now a winter weather advisory up for the NorCal high country. The higher passes in the mid Sierra may be sort of hairy tomorrow.

It seams to me that the exhaust of the sun should be water. Could this be why sea levels rise?

Say WHAT? Our sun is still relatively young and primarily generating energy by fusing hydrogen into helium. It’ll be a very long time until our sun begins producing oxygen. Thus the sun can’t be exhausting water, it only has one of the two elements needed to make water.

Does anyone have a pointer to list of of the 1951-1980 normals data that NOAA and GISS use? I’m talking a list of numbers, not a map. I’m particularly interested in the sites they have for Canada. This may or may not lead to a guest post, depending on what I can dig up.

“Steven Brown, thank you I voted and as of now 74% are against the tax …”
The “No” votes are now down to 53% with 9 hours to go. The AGWankers must be desperate to push it over the tipping point.

Steve Keohane, the “8 hours per day” works in places like S. California (LA, San Bernardino, Imperial, SD, Riverside counties) and probably S. Arizona and S. New Mexico and S. Texas.
My expectation is that, in places like these, electricity from roof-mounted PV panels will cost $0.04 per kwh in the next 3 – 7 years, in those southern sunny climes. Although I am 64, my grandparents lived long enough that I expect to live long enough to see PV power at $0.01 per kwh, net to consumers. Home Depot sells modular systems, and I intend to follow the costs through the years.

Here are California electricity supply and demand curves for today:

There is scope for California to meet a substantial fraction of its peak demand by PV cells.
