Global Climate Disruption.

Now that's creative thinking.

Actually something similarly is already being done in Iceland, just not with wind turbines (steam turbines). Trouble is, if you don't have an proper, active and preferably punctual geiser handy you're pretty much out of luck. Volcanoes either tend not to be very cooperative for 24x7 power or alternatively a bit too giving (destroying your equipment in a blaze of volcanic power aka eruption).

If you dig deep enough you can have thermal power here as well, it costs you 30.000 euro or so. It isn't really worth it, but it's possible. It's only for warming up water of course.

To the credit of the Church of Global Warming though, Rome fell

It is funny to see how tree rings suddenly are cool (get it?) when they produce the data people like to see.

Another fail from Lewis Page. Not that it is a big surprise though, but funny nonetheless. This headline: Climate was HOTTER in Roman, medieval times than now. Andthat is based on Northern Scandinavian data only. Wow how more local can you get while still making bold statements. Heck there is more silliness in his article, but why waste more time on him than I have to.

From the comments it shows that he doesn't convince many. Heck, you will get more science from the comments than from the actual article. For some science and thoughts about the study, check here http://www.realclimate.org/index.php...-developments/

The Roman and medieval warmth are well known way before The global-warming hoax was invented by the Green Khmer. Any historian can tell you that.

If you believe the IPCC and co are "biased" or "selective", then by contrast L. Page is positively a top DC spinmeister for a presidential election or budget campaign of your choice.

And the data for the Northern Hemisphere still show them, so what is the problem?

Interesting link, cheers. Particularly the comments.

I'm a dwarf fortress player, its in my nature to harness deadly substances, that the construction will likely kill off half the workforce doesnt matter if it keeps me in running water and thinking trinkets are worth collecting..
