isn’t the ozone mechanism suddenly back in the press as being possibly wrong?

I’m not sure I buy the “fact” that a warmer troposphere results in a cooler stratosphere.

He still yet might make a mediocre president. I hope he gets elected , and the big 20 ton gorilla that’s in the driver’s seat decides to decrease output for a hundred years.

Roald Hoffmann called the 1995 Prize (Crutzen, Molina, Rowland) “The greatest Nobel”. FYI, people in the Nobel foundation (part of the committee) really really really respect Roald, as they should.

And they most of them haven’t even read Solids and Surfaces. A Chemist’s View of Bonding in Extended Structures

So I am not surprised about Gore. I still think he would have made a mediocre president, but that is far better than Bush. Until Bush, I didn’t know what hubris meant.

I can’t believe they gave the Prize to Ertl! Leave it to the left-leaning Swedes to play politics once again and honor the study of oscillatory reactions on metal surfaces. It’s just what those granola-eating, platinum-hugging types had hoped for. I suppose now the upcoming presidential election will be all about low energy electron diffraction, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy by those pandering to the Left and jumping on the bandwagon of junk science.

Yeah. No need for the crossout. Now I just need a pro-IMF economist to win and I’m set.

Thanks for fixing the RSS feed- my computer likes the new system better and I can still get the day’s blogs in one place.
