Nitro, While I remain skeptical re. the extent of global warming that is caused by human activity mainly because the models used to predict the effect don't and they can't even go backwards. As someone pointed out, would you trade a model that did not backtest well? However, there is...

I agree with your thoughts as all systems have stretches where they are flat or down and it can last months. I like to diversify what I trade and the types of systems I use. This one has been doing fairly well this year for me. FYI-I trade a modified version of this system on ER2 and it has...

The smoothing constant is 2/(1+n) where n is the number of days for the averages period, ie a 15 day EMA has a smoothing constant of 2/16 or 0.125. DS

I think that is the picture of GWB getting his last briefing on Iraq's WMDs. DS

Interesting article and the issues it deals with like much of what surrounds the GW debate remain uncertain. The claim that the Amazon rain forrest is a great sink for CO2 has always bothered me as that claim is opposite to what some naturlists told me when I visited the rain forrest. They...

I've got a wireless home network and I use cable for my Internet connection. I use a NETGEAR WGR614v4 Wireless Router. It has been awhile since I set it up, but I do recall the setup was easy and uneventfull. It has worked almost perfectly. Occasionally, my laptop (the computer that...

Your last link discusses El Nino, and Volcanism and a few other topics. Its lead sentence: " The El Niño and La Niña are components of Terracycles. El Nino and La Nina are effects linking the ocean to the atmosphere and help drive climate change. As NASA, NOAA and other world science...

The second link you gave describes the "Day After Tomorrow" scenario of a shift in the thermohaline circulation caused by global warming leading to an ice age. Certainly the science for this is little understood. "Recent studies, published in the March 2005 issue of SCIENCE puts the...

Thanks for your good and IMO accurate summary of the issues. Kyoto is IMO is politics posing as science. So, who are the winners? Certainly not the climate, Even the most fervent supporters of Kyoto say it will have a negligible impact on climate. China and India who are...

It was interesting that the first link you give turns out to be a description of paleo scientific methods. For example, examining tree rings. Quoting from your first link: Tree Rings "Of great interest is the observation that trees growing at extremely high latitudes (inside of the...

You may be on to something in the nortern polar regions where to me there is clear evidence of warming trends. Whether it is within the normal very long term variation or not is a reasonable scientific question and whether it is caused by burning coal/gas/oil is also something that should be...

that was silly

I've read them but for the most part they do not have much data to support the claim that humans cause GW and to what extent they do . One of them mentions that oil is a fossil fuel and there is debate that it is. There is a well established theory that states oil is formed by tectonics deep...

From what source do you arrive at the conclusion the Russian Academy of Science is populated by incompetents? Also, please explain this to use a Greenspan word, conundrum: The global climate models used to predict global warming, simply put forecast a rise in global temps that is...

What about the group of Russians I cited? Are they incompetent as you suggest? DS

Are you claiming and are you able to substantiate Professor Chylek is both lame and facetious? Certainly there are some scientists who oppose GW to please their employer as there are certainly some who support it to get their name known and access to research funds. Data will show the...

Sorry, I misread the graph. It shows the West Point station declining while the Cenrtral Park increases: http://www.john-daly.com/stations/WestPoint-NY.gif this is the graph that I believe the CP data are corrected for urban heat effect...

Great numbers of scientists agree that we do not know if humans contribute to global warming and if they do to what extent. My point is the data does not support the claim. I can post links to long term temp trends that show there is little data to support or refute the case for human caused...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, From what I have seen the global warming models used to predict human impact on global temps do not even predict the actual climate over the past 60 years. In simple terms, the models predict global temps increase proportionate to CO2 concentration which has doubled since the...

I had it on demo. DS
