Analysis Warming From Sun Is MASSIVELY Greater Than CO2

Analysis Warming From Sun Is MASSIVELY Greater Than CO2




Hat tip to Neil Stevens for this calculation he sent me:

Mass of the Sun: 2000000000000000000000000000000 kilograms*
Mass of CO2 atom: 0.00000000000000000000000002 kilograms

This makes the Sun 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Times more massive than a co2 atom.

Or to put it another way, a co2 atom is just:
0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%
compared to the Sun.

The Sun is over 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000!

Now you see how ridiculous the claims of warmists are. They tell us co2 will kill us all by heating us when it is so insignificant compared with the sun.

For further reading on the dominiation of the sun take a look at this recent point article:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/04/15/the-oceans-as-a-calorimeter/

*Note the figures were given to me in kilograms. A kilogram is 2.2 pounds.


The Side Bar: A quick lesson on Exponentials

The side bar is a feature I will use regularly to teach my readers "dos" and "donts" of science that I have picked up over the years. Today I will talk about a relevant "dont" that is potentially muddying the mind of the warmists.

We could have also described the above numbers using a concept called exponentials. An exponential looks like this:

2 × 1030 kilograms

The 30 following the 10 is called the exponential. It indicates how many zeros follow the number. In this case it says there should be 30 zeros after 20 (2 x 10).

When the exponential is negative this means number of zeros after the decimal point before the first number. Eg:

2 × 10-26 kilograms = 0.000000000000000000000000002

Exponentials are often used as shorthand by people who dont want to bother writing all the zeros out. Thats fine if you are just keeping score in a very long game of football! But if you are an engineer designing a saftey system, or a scientist conducting an experiment, you should really take the care to accurately write out whole numbers.

Writing out the zeros gives you a better appreciation of the size of numbers and you might spot potential errors. Perhaps an overuse of exponentials is why a minority of climate "scientists" dont comprehend how ludicrious co2 warming really is. If they just compare 5 digits with 5 digits for Sun vs CO2 they might not contemplate how massive the sun is compared to an atom of co2.

Any guesses for how numbers are represented in climate computer models? No prizes for that answer...

Amicus Brief Filed By Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Argues That Funk Bros Is About Obviousness Not Patent Eligibility

Amicus Brief Filed By Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Argues That Funk Bros Is About Obviousness Not Patent Eligibility


Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts focused on developing synthetic "small interfering RNAs" (SiRNAs) as therapeutic agents. It has filed an amicus curiae brief in the Myriad gene patent case (AMP v. US PTO) that makes a number of insightful points, particularly in attempting to "debunk myths of Funk Brothers Seed Co. v. Kalo Inoculant Co."

Funk Brothers is generally assumed to be a case about patent eligibility. However, Alnylam points out that Funk Brothers was decided by the Supreme Court in 1948, prior to the enactment of the 1952 patent statute and thus prior to 35 USC 101, which is the statutory basis for the patent eligibility doctrine. Prior to 1952, the Court used the term “invention” to refer to "inventiveness," a concept that subsequent to 1952 and the enactment of 35 USC 103 we refer to as "nonobviousness." The Court in Funk Brothers found the claimed subject matter was not the “product of invention,” but Alnylam argues that post-1952 this statement should be interpreted a finding of obviousness, not patent ineligibility.

I have always found it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to find a principled distinction between the inventions claimed in Funk Brothers and Diamond V. Chakrabarty that would justify finding only Dr. Chakrabartys invention patent eligible. In Funk Brothers, the alleged invention was a novel and useful combination, in a single inoculant, of naturally occurring microorganisms in a combination that did not exist naturally. Chakrabarty’s invention was a novel and useful combination, in a single microorganism, of naturally occurring plasmids in a combination that did not exist naturally. It is important to bear in mind that Chakrabartys invention did not involve any genetic engineering at the molecular level.

In Funk Brothers, it has been pointed out that while the combination of bacteria in a single inoculant was novel, the bacteria function in the same manner and have the same characteristics as they would have in nature. But the same can be said regarding the plasmids Dr. Chakrabarty introduced into a single microorganism. These were naturally occurring plasmids, and in the claimed microorganism they encoded the exact same proteins, and performed the exact same function as they did in their natural state.

In a nutshell, Funk Brothers was a novel combination of naturally occurring bacteria capable of achieving novel and useful function, with the bacteria functioning in the same manner as they do in nature. Chakrabarty was a novel combination of naturally occurring plasmid DNA capable of achieving novel and useful function, with the plasmid DNA functioning in the same manner as they do in nature. I dont see how one invention can be patent eligible and the other not. However, if Funk Brothers was really decided based on obviousness rather than patent eligibility, as argued by Alnylam, the two decisions are easily reconciled.

All Is Forgiven For Now

All Is Forgiven For Now


So, I picked up a copy of All-Star Superman #3. For all of you folks on pins and needles wondering. So, theres a happy ending. Unless Im disappointed with this issue. Then, well, I think it goes without saying Ill hate you all again. Bloggers are one of the few groups its socially acceptable to hate, along with Nazis and lawyers, and I think those other groups need a break from my ire. That, and I fear bloggers less than either of those other two groups.

Annual Awards Nerdism is Back! Oscar Predictions

Annual Awards Nerdism is Back! Oscar Predictions



The madness is just around the corner. Dashing to the cinemas every five seconds to see the latest awards-worthy movies (lol, I dont go to the cinema any more). Getting up at weird hours to watch nominations being announced. Trying every website on the universe to see who will stream the awards ceremonies. But thats all part of awards season, which is definitely my favourite season of the year.

This year will be a little bit different, though. As I am going to Japan in January, Im going to miss the Critics Choice Awards, the Oscar nominations and the Golden Globes - which are kind of the biggest things. However, I will get to them a few days later, so I hope some people will still be around! My awards coverage will officially start this week with the Indie Spirit nominations, where you will see the new Happy Fassy, Lowkey Loki and Overwhelmed Owen. As always, when we get to Oscar time, I will definitely be doing prediction poetry. If you want to know what you have to look forward to, heres my coverage from last year/earlier this year.

For now, though, here are my early predictions. Im proud of the design work that I put into them - hopefully that will overshadow the fact that Ive been awful at watching the right films this year.

So, whos with me in this crazy season? And what do you think of my predictions?

Amazon is run by chimps

Amazon is run by chimps


What was this weeks Extra Punctuation about? Why, I believe it was about shooters, and one shooter in particular:

"I stand by the point of my joke review, and the point I made more overtly way back in my GDC 08 videos: There is absolutely nothing the developers can put out that will be in the slightest bit worth the wait. The advantage of vaporware, after all, is that you can never be disappointed by it. Hype and anticipation is like Schroedingers Cat; everythings fine until the subject actually gets released and then the waveform collapses. Nothing can possibly improve upon what your imagination furnishes, with the obvious exception of Silent Hill 2."

And what was this weeks Zero Punctuation about? Why, I believe it was about Mafia 2.


Now, Mogworld is doing quite healthily in the world book market, apparently, but a lot of people have been complaining to me about Apparently Amazon is still stuck in some kind of incredulous timewarp and doesnt believe that the books actually been released, and some people are being asked to wait almost unreasonably long periods of time for their copies of Mogworld. The thing is, if you complain to me about it, you are basically complaining to the pig because your sausages were undercooked. I know my name is on the front of the cover in big fat serifed letters, but Ive got nothing to do with distribution and sales or anything to do with If you are dissatisfied with their service, then complain to them. Repeatedly. With sticks.

All that glisters is not gold

All that glisters is not gold


At the end of the nineteenth century, a rich gold strike near the Mexican town of Tlalpujahua meant that for a few years in the early twentieth century, it was the largest producer of gold in the world. The mine was a huge industry, and the population grew to a quarter of a million. Then, in 1937, a major landslide buried the mine, and much of the town. The mine closed, and the townspeople were forced to go elsewhere in search of work. Within ten years, the population was under a thousand.

One of the men who left was Joquaín Muñoz Orta, who in the fifties ended up in Chicago, working in a factory making artificial Christmas trees. When he returned to Mexico, he set up a workshop making first trees, and then baubles to go with them. The baubles were far more popular, and the workshop grew into a factory... which is now the fifth largest producer of baubles in the world. There is also a second bauble factory in the town, as well as over a hundred small family workshops. The population of Tlapujahua is now back up to about a quarter of a million... and around 70% of the towns economy comes from bauble-making.

I just thought that was nice. Happy New Year.

Alia Bhatt thinks Sidharth Malhotra is a better kisser than Arjun Kapoor

Alia Bhatt thinks Sidharth Malhotra is a better kisser than Arjun Kapoor



Alia Bhatt is known for her safe answers but looks like Neha Dhupia has brought out the sass in her. On Neha’s #NoFilterNeha, Alia opened up about a lot of things that she usually doesn’t speak about in public. Perhaps she did let her guard down around Dhupia as she openly discussed controversial things, including commenting on people. By now we’ve got the way how Neha rolls. She likes to present her guests with at least one tricky question. And this time, for Alia, it revolved around the men she is rumoured to have dated from the industry.


Alia has been linked to her 2 States co-star Arjun Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra. In fact, it was recently even reported that Sid and Alia called it quits. Anyway, so when the 23 year old was asked to choose who among the two was a better kisser, she picked Malhotra but had a very strong reason behind the same. Neha asked Alia to choose between Arjun and Sidharth, well, any co-star for that matter and rate the best kisser out of them all. To this, Bhatt said, “I’ve kissed Arjun in one film and he’s good. But I’ve kissed Sid in two, so more practice. So yeah, Sid.”


However, while we thought that the mention of Sid would end there, it didn’t quite pan out that way. There was a lot of subtle gushing done by Alia for her ex boyfriend Sidharth. In fact, when the rapid fire round started, the Dear Zindagi actress was asked to choose between Arjun and Sid, her answer, without a doubt was Sid. She was then asked to choose between Varun and Sid and again, her answer was Sid. There was no hesitation as she promptly answered all the questions quite honestly. Perhaps there’s still a lot of soft space in Miss Bhatt’s heart for the 31 year old actor. If you remember, he even attended the screening of Dear Zindagi, which was quite sweet of him.


Is reconciliation on cards for these two? What are your thoughts on this, BollywoodLifers? Tell us in the comments section below. Stay tuned to this space for more gossips and latest updates.

Albert Woodfox Applies for Bail With Expedited Review Freedom Is Just Around the Corner

Albert Woodfox Applies for Bail With Expedited Review Freedom Is Just Around the Corner


MEDIA COVERAGE:  NOLA Times-Picayune

This afternoon Albert Woodfoxs legal team submitted an application to US District Court Judge James A. Brady for release on bail with expedited review (View the court filing here).

This month marks 2 years since Alberts conviction was overturned for a third time based on a finding of racial discrimination in the selection of his grand jury foreperson, a decision now firmly upheld by a unanimous panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Though the Attorney General may continue to stand in the way of justice and appeal yet again to the US Supreme Court and/or attempt to retry him, Alberts attorneys argue that there is no legal or moral justification to hold him in prison any longer, nor any reason to believe the State of Louisiana could succeed in reconvicting him in a fair proceeding.

In a moving petition, they detail not just the legal underpinnings of freeing those wrongfully convicted, but also the deeply flawed legal processes that have resulted in this innocent man spending an unconscionable 4 decades in a solitary cell. As they point out, "the State has now had not just one but two chances to convict Mr. Woodfox at a trial that passes constitutional muster, and failed."

The application reminds the Court that the State itself during the appeals process admitted that if Albert were to prevail "re-trying him for a crime that occurred more than 40 years ago...may render retrial difficult, even impossible."

But regardless of whether the State elects to retry Albert or not, as another federal district court concluded, "[T]he liberty interest of an improperly convicted prisoner is stronger than any injury that may be caused to the [State] in releasing petitioner from custody pending retrial."). Indeed, a prisoner, "suffers irreparable harm each day that he is imprisoned in violation of the United States Constitution."

Certainly the reality of Alberts grossly inhumane conditions of confinement only make this harm more egregious and the urgency for release more compelling.

An expedited hearing date of Monday, February 23rd has been requested. We will let you know as soon as we hear anything from the Court.

An Epiphany Involving Spider Mans Dumb New Costume Which is Dumb

An Epiphany Involving Spider Mans Dumb New Costume Which is Dumb


Dr. Who is to blame for Spider-Mans dumb new costume.

See, as my friend, lets call him Chantmaster Rix, happened to tell me when talking about Dr. Who, which he does from time to time (or all the time, I cant remember, I kind of drift in and out of consciousness when he does). Anyway, according to that Brittish Sci-Fi epics mythos, The Other was one of the timelords that originally created time travel along with Rassilon and Omega.

Well, thats what ol Rix said, dont get angry at me Dr. Who nerdws! But Ill take his word for it for the sake of a lame inside joke. And hes really fucking obsessed with Dr. Who, so I assume he knows what hes talking about.

But if this is true, then I can only assume that this Other guy is the same Other referred to in the Spider-Man storyline of the same name. I can only assume that because I havent read it. And I probably wont. Ever. But Im pretty sure that this is right.

Which means that this Other dude is responsible for a 13 issue excuse for Spider-Man to change clothes. And I cant forgive him for this. But hes fictional, so I cant do anything to him. So this line of bizarre, barroque reasoning Im engaging in because Im bored will mean nothing. Unless I take up Chaos Magik! This is as good an excuse Ive had as any to, too. So I will. Maybe. I think I need a nap before making any decisions about taking on weird belief systems. I mean, the last time I was in this position, I became a Scientologist. And thats no fun. Man, Im going to get Cronin in trouble for that.

Anyway, Spider-Mans temporary costume is dumb and my friend is obsessed with Dr. Who. Those would be the two salient points you should take from this. Use them wisely.

Albert Will Remain Behind Bars Pending Appeal Justice Delayed is Justice Denied But Not Forever A3 Newsletter

Albert Will Remain Behind Bars Pending Appeal Justice Delayed is Justice Denied But Not Forever A3 Newsletter


MEDIA COVERAGE:  NOLA Times-Picayune  II  New Yorker  II  NPR interviews Prof Angela A. Allen-Bell  II  Hollywood Progressive: New A3 Feature Film  II  Huffington Post  II  CTV (Canada) / AP  II  Atlanta Black Star  II  Live Science 


We are sad to report that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to continue the stay and block the release of Albert Woodfox until the States appeal is heard (read articles by The Advocate and Washington Post).

Though it means some months before Albert will see his long overdue freedom realized, the court has granted an "expedited" status for the appeal. Oral Arguments are set for the week of August 31st. The States written argument as to why they believe Judge Bradys order should be overturned is due on July 10th. Then Alberts team has three weeks to respond before the State is allowed a final rebuttal on August 7th.

Despite the overwhelming calls for Alberts freedom from the people, congressmen, NGOs like Amnesty International, and 3 legal rulings overturning his original conviction, the State continues their cruel campaign of vengeance against Albert. Enough is Enough. Once again we see that, as Robert King says, "Legality and Morality do not shake hands in the court room". 

Though we are disappointed our friend will not be released today, we remain confident that the truth of his innocence and integrity of his struggle for justice will ultimately free him, sooner rather than later, and will continue to shed light on the dire situation faced by thousands left in solitary for decades for no legitimate reason. We have spoken with Albert, and although disappointed, he remains stoic and wanted to let everyone know he remains strong and will never give up till he gets justice.

Below is a response to todays ruling by Amnesty International USA.

Amnesty International USA: Woodfox Must Be Released Immediately

The human rights organization called todays Fifth Circuit ruling the result of a "desperate attempt to thwart justice" by the Attorney General.

Contact: Gabe Cahn, gabe@westendstrategy.com, 202.412.1678

WASHINGTON-Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Louisiana announced that they would continue a stay of a U.S. District Judges decision to release Albert Woodfox. The Courts decision effectively blocks the release of the Louisiana prisoner, pending a ruling on whether or not Albert Woodfox will be tried a third time. This decision follows U.S. District Judge James J. Bradys ruling on Tuesday, which granted unconditional release to the last imprisoned member of the Angola 3, Albert Woodfox. In response, Amnesty International USA Executive Director Steven W. Hawkins issued the following statement:

    "Given that the overturning of Albert Woodfoxs conviction on three separate occasions was not enough, Judge Bradys decision to grant him unconditional release should have certainly ended this 43-year-long nightmare. Instead, he remains behind bars, fighting to prove his innocence as a result of the Louisiana Attorney Generals desperate attempt to thwart justice.

    "At this point, the Louisiana authorities must ensure Albert Woodfoxs freedom-not only from incarceration, but from the deeply flawed legal process that has consumed him for more than four decades."

Since 2013 alone, Amnesty International USA has generated more than 100,000 actions on Woodfoxs behalf, including the delivery of a petition to Governor Jindal with more than 50,000 signatures calling for Albert Woodfoxs release. Over the course of the last five years, Amnestys global movement has generated more than 500,000 actions on behalf of the Angola 3. UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Juan Mendez U.N. decried the indefinite solitary confinement imposed on Woodfox, saying that it "clearly amounts to torture and it should be lifted immediately."

On June 11, in the wake of Judge Bradys ruling, 18 members of the Louisiana House of Representatives voted for a resolution (H.R. 208) urging Attorney General Caldwell to stop standing in the way of justice, withdraw his appeals, and let Judge Bradys unconditional writ and release ruling stand.
