My research (I have a computer)
by RON VANDERHULE 10 May '14

Dave, I think you extrapolated a little to much from my research comment. The research I do is what most of us do when we want to understand more of the details behind the controversies or subjects we have an interest in. Google it. I also have several astronomy and general science sites that I reference. (Science Daily and Fox News' Science and Tech sections are quite good). I might also add that it is said 97% of scientists are supporters of man made climate change. Well, "my research indicates" the disparity between the two positions is not at all that large. It is quite easy to find many prominent scientists and science groups that counter the current hysteria. For those of you still wringing your hands over this I recommend a site called Climate Depot. Lots of solid info. I love Astronomy. Ron

That must be some home pc. I was under the impression that one needed a supercomputer to do climate research. By chance, do you have a Mac version of your climate-modeling software? Dave

Hi, All I would like to let this list know that a group of Astronomers are forming in the St. George area. Here is a link to a web site with information on the group. St. George Astronomy Group St. George Astronomy Group The St. George Astronomy Group is an informal association of local amateur astronomers. The group was formed to (a) exchange ideas and foster fellowship ... View on sites.google.com Preview by Yahoo If you have an interest on joining the group in St. George you can get information from the internet site or contact me direct. We are just getting going and hope to become a great bunch of Astronomers here in the St. George Area. Mark Shelton

"shove this"...
by RON VANDERHULE 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi Rich, No, climate modeling is an appropriate science even though it is still in it's infancy and the dynamics being studied are quite fluid. Conservancy is definitely of value when trend lines determine that course of action. The "shove this" comment was just a brutish way of indicating that climate history is the most valid interpretation of what "climate" did and what it will do. Climate modeling tries to determine what dynamics are involved in any trends that the climate goes through. My research, ( I have a computer;) indicates that this is extremely complicated, highly speculative, and the data incomplete. As I indicated, if you want to know "what" climate is doing look at history, if you want to know "why" it does it....well... I suppose the "disdain" you mentioned has to do with the scandals and LIES the current administration finds itself buried in. They need a diversion so they trot out the tried and true scare the hell out em global warm.. er ..climate change report. I am sick of Americans being manipulated like this and that was on my mind when I posted that to U-A. Sorry to bring in the politics but it completes the sequence. I love Astronomy.

May the 4th
by CenturyLink Customer 06 May '14

Can I assume May 4, 1977 is the date the original Star Wars movie opened, hence Star Wars Day? Think some people have been watching too much "Big Bang Theory." For those Star Wars fans out there, J.J. Abrams, aka the guy who rebooted Star Trek with Chris Pine has got Lucas's blessing to finish the series. Episode VII has been cast and you might recognize some, by now, old folks - familiar names are Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. Suspect they will be more than cameos, but they aren't the main characters. Sort of passing the baton, look for movie release in 2015.
