Sunday Open Thread

I’m caught up in Mothers day duties as well as reviewing data for a new paper, so please talk quietly amongst yourselves and don’t make me come back here.

For those going to the Heartland ICCC7 in Chicago, I’ll be there and I propose a Tuesday evening informal meetup. Leave a comment if you are interested. – Anthony

“Those who continue to talk in certain terms of how local weather extremes are the result of human climate change are failing to heed all the available evidence.”

I object to the wishy-washy choice of verb. “Heed” is not accurate; “acknowledge” is much closer. “Disclose and acknowledge” would be even better.

As for the Chicago Sun-Times:
“In the report from the Audit Bureau of Circulations, the Chicago Sun-Times had a circulation decline of 9 percent for its Monday through Friday editions, to 250,747 copies. The Sunday edition of the Sun-Times lost 5.5 percent of its circulation, to 237,367.”
Serves them right.

The pictures too? I don’t think water has memory. That’s why I put a question mark at the end. And I don’t agree with the man’s idea about the Rhine. But the pictures? I can’t see why you think those are new age pseudoscientific drivel. They’re just pictures that were taken. They aren’t retouched. The pictures are interesting. And what they did in taking the pictures is reproducible.

Amino Acids in Meteorites – the “salt effected by sound” video was interesting, but the description at the source wasn’t helpful.
It is not the salt, but the plate that is resonating in response to particular lengths of wave, inducing self-reinforcing standing-waves within the boundaries of the plate (that’s what resonance is): the salt is there only to expose the pattern and position of the standing waves that emerge within the plate at resonant wavelengths.
It was an excellent demonstration of resonance, as a matter of fact, because you can see the waveform “standing.” Thanks for that.
