Earth’s Magnetic Field & Global Warming.

6 July, 2010 (11:42) | Random

It seems to me that it’s been a while since we hunted down silly theories. On the June Ice Bet Results thread, Shooshmoon asked and I answered: Lucia I’m just wondering, what is supposed to happen with global warming? Is a giant piece of an ice cap going to rip off and the earth is [...]

Memorial Day Bickering: Please End!

31 May, 2010 (19:24) | Random

Hi all: I hope you all had a lovely 3 day weekend. I made it a 5 day weekend. I posted a sea ice thread. I grilled, I tanned, I visited Popsie-Wopsie in Highland Park. I did not really read many comments. It looks like many of my visitors will be returning to notice the [...]

Volcanos: Guatemala & Ecuador

As I was sitting down to dinner, I opened an email forwarded by my mother, and originally sent by Ana Sylvia in El Salvador. It read: Have you heard of this? http://www.elsalvador.com/mwedh/nota/nota_completa.asp?idCat=6376&idArt=4829267 http://www.elsalvador.com/mwedh/nota/nota_completa.asp?idCat=6376&idArt=4829574 http://www.theworldpress.com/press/worldpress/salvadorpress/laprensa.htm http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/05/28/guatemala.volcano/index.html After dinner, I checked Google news and read a volcano erupted in Guatemala and another in Ecuador. There have been [...]

Visitors to The Blackboard

In comments, visitors have been wondered how many Australians visit the Blackboard. I answered pointing to Alexa.com (which is quite approximate.) Then someone wanted to know how many Swiss visit? I suspect many regular readers are little curious. I’ll show you my google analytics counts. Google analytics tracks when the script I placed in the [...]

Change log tease….

4 November, 2009 (15:43) | Random

As many of you are aware, I am addicted to watching the monthly temperatures update. I was a bit surprised when “Change Detection” alerted me to a change of the GISS SST page. It seemed a bit early for November’s temperatures to appear. Still I visited the land/ocean temperature page. Sure enough, it is too [...]

Highlights from The Tea Party (Lisle Illinois)

4 July, 2009 (15:37) | Random

Undaunted by the slight drizzle, Jim and I walked the mile down to Reidy’s golf course. As we passed through the opening in the fence we saw people to the east and west. As you can see, many sensibly prepared for rain:   While Jim listened to the speaker, I looked for photo-ops. I found [...]

Lukewarmer Mug (and other money making ventures.)

As some of you know, I try to defray the costs of hosting with ppc advertising. So, I thought I’d let you guys know how the advertising is going at this blog. Mind you, making money at a climate blog is next to impossible because it’s not oriented around consumables people are likely to buy. [...]

After I heard that, I had to look for other surprises. Here’s one:
