This fact is based not on complex historical records of global temperatures but on the simple physical properties of CO2 molecules. Greenhouse gases are a quilt, and CO2 is one layer of the quilt." <br /><br />Is this quilt effect limited to greenhouse gases or can it apply to liquids and solids ? In which case is an Alpine village kept warm at night, or warmer than it might be, by a nearby mountain ?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260625940234823111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156940350159100953.post-22158312910126604402009-05-19T12:17:00.000-07:002009-05-19T12:17:00.000-07:00I think the idea to push really hard is to not go/...I think the idea to push really hard is to not go/travel/drive unless there is a direct economic need. And the same for consumerism. For example, it's a nice day, let's drive to the beach - NOT. Those lovely decorations would be nice to have, let's buy them - NOT. Frivolous driving (not going to work or the grocery) takes lots of energy. Buying stuff for around the house or garden requires energy to manufacture and transport.<br /><br />So how dedicated are you all to saving the planet? No concerts (takes lots of energy to get there, put on the show), the cinema (getting there, air conditioning, the projector, etc). For a 1st-world country, this list will be quite long.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077867306131069329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156940350159100953.post-44320058117146139482009-05-18T04:24:00.000-07:002009-05-18T04:24:00.000-07:00Congratulations on the FRS and the sales rank.Congratulations on the FRS and the sales rank.naathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15262974508267763874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156940350159100953.post-59459115860305885382009-05-17T15:34:00.000-07:002009-05-17T15:34:00.000-07:00Congratulations on your election to FRS!
I wonder...Congratulations on your election to FRS!<br /><br />I wonder how making the book freely available online has affected the sales. With Harry Potter that would surely be a bad idea! But with the energy debate being a niche subject, you may attract more sales overall due to people discovering it to be an interesting topic after having read a few chapters online, who then subsequently order a print copy.osiris87https://www.blogger.com/profile/10854830643876999161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156940350159100953.post-20503850603116199322009-05-16T16:11:00.000-07:002009-05-16T16:11:00.000-07:00When I read the title of this entry, I thought you...When I read the title of this entry, I thought you had read the new European standard for KNX domestic energy saving system. <br /><br />I haven't read the standard myself, but I attended a recent lecture on the subject. It was easily the most boring lecture I attended all year. Even though the title sounded so promising. Smart Homes. <br /><br />But I guess, as Howard Liddell would maintain, as in passive homes. It doesn't have to be sexy, if it works and doesn't break after 5 years. Or like Photovoltaic, deteriorate by 1% per annum. <br /><br />Brian O'HanlonBrian O' Hanlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185216066875647495noreply@blogger.com
