Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Bye, Bye American Pie

It will be too late to pay attention to you destruction if you wait for it.



We are becoming a septic tank of illiterates who have no concept of a republic and many who defy individual rights.  Being touch feelie with lepers makes no sense. The pseudo Marxist championing of distressed people will bring Venezuela and ISIS  here.  Political correctness morphs into suicide if left alone.



Do something or shut up.





Obama’s new program to create ‘refugees’ in Central America to be discussed in teleconference later this month

Posted by Ann Corcoran on March 22, 2015

These are the train routes taken by the “children” last summer. Obama’s new plan is supposedly designed to keep the ‘unaccompanied alien children’ off the trains and put them into planes (airfare paid by you) with direct flights to cities across America. Map here: http://www.wnd.com/2014/07/mexicans-blame-americans-for-death-train/


The federal government is inviting you to a teleconference later this month to answer questions about the plan to bring kids directly from Central America to the US as refugees which then (as newly-minted refugees) will have all forms of welfare available to them, can bring family in later and become US citizens.   We told you about it in February.
Note that the media is not invited!
Dear Stakeholder,
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), in coordination with the U.S. Department of State (DOS), invites you to participate in a teleconference on Tuesday, March 31, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. (Eastern) to learn more about the Central American Minors (CAM) Refugee/Parole Program. The program provides certain children in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras with a safe, legal, and orderly alternative to the dangerous journey that some children are undertaking to the United States.

The CAM program began accepting applications from qualifying parents in the U.S. for their children on December 1, 2014. Only certain qualifying parents who are legally present in the U.S. are eligible to file for their children. Each qualified child must be unmarried, under the age of 21, and residing in El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras. In certain cases, the in-country parent of the qualifying child may also qualify for access if the in-country parent is the legal spouse of the qualifying parent in the U.S.

During this teleconference, representative from USCIS and DOS will provide an overview of the CAM program and answer questions.

To Join the Session by Phone
On the day of the session, please use the information below to join the teleconference.
We recommend that you call 10-15 minutes before the start time.
Toll-free call-in number: 1-888-606-7035
Passcode: CAM

Note to Media: This engagement is not for press purposes. Please contact the USCIS Press Office at (202) 272-1200 for any media inquiries.
If you have any questions, please email us at public.engagement@uscis.dhs.gov

We look forward to engaging with you!

Electromagnetic Influence Upon Weather

Below is an excerpt from  a site called Thunderbolts.  I came across it while looking for pictures of Sable Island, N.S.   Other than concerns about a tsunami, looks like a nice place avoid civilization. Check it out:







I stumbled across the piece when I visited a photo of "roll clouds" over Sable. The island is a narrow crescent. Above you narrow island, one may find:





The excerpt is technical, but one easily sense the complexity of our planet and its atmosphere. There was no mention of my car being a factor, but it did mention that solar winds run between 600,000  and 2,000,000 miles per hour and deflect around us. At time, the winds come very close to the surface. Some satellites are in range.  I am offering solar wind credits for a modest premium.



The author stated that electromagnetic weather prediction is superior to what meteorologist do for periods after ten days. Pop culture has no interest in physics, but physics doesn't care.



...Nice link to an article about solar induced currents into the earth's weather system...
http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/topstory/2004/ ... storm.htmlpatterns of ozone production and movement can be followed at the link to one of their pages...
http://toms.gsfc.nasa.gov/ 

They have a nice archive of past ozone patterns available on their ftp site. I have used this data to track effects on earth's weather after solar flares, and during the occurrence of Heliocentric conjunctions of Earth with the other planets. It is from making many observations over the past several years that I have come to the conclusions posted here.
http://www.sec.noaa.gov/primer/primer.html 

The region between the Sun and the planets has been termed the interplanetary medium. Although once considered a perfect vacuum, this is actually a turbulent region dominated by the solar wind, which flows at velocities of approximately 250-1000 km/s (about 600,000 to 2,000,000 miles per hour). Other characteristics of the solar wind (density, composition, and magnetic field strength, among others) vary with changing conditions on the Sun. The effect of the solar wind can be seen in the tails of comets which always point away from the Sun.
The solar wind flows around obstacles such as planets, but those planets with their own magnetic fields respond in specific ways. Earth's magnetic field is very similar to the pattern formed when iron filings align around a bar magnet. Under the influence of the solar wind, these magnetic field lines are compressed in the Sun ward direction and stretched out in the downwind direction. This creates the magnetosphere, a complex, teardrop-shaped cavity around Earth.

The Van Allen radiation belts are within this cavity, as is the ionosphere, a layer of Earth's upper atmosphere where photo ionization by solar x-rays and extreme ultraviolet rays creates free electrons. Earth's magnetic field senses the solar wind its speed, density, and magnetic field. Because the solar wind varies over time scales as short as seconds, the interface that separates interplanetary space from the magnetosphere is very dynamic.

Normally this interface called the magneto pause lies at a distance equivalent to about 10 Earth radii in the direction of the Sun. However, during episodes of elevated solar wind density or velocity, the magneto pause can be pushed inward to within 6.6 Earth radii (the altitude of geosynchronous satellites). As the magnetosphere extracts energy from the solar wind, internal processes produce geomagnetic storms. 
Air masses and the clouds in them, that are perturbed from equatorial areas carry a net positive residual ionic/static charge, that helps prevent rapid condensation, by mutual static repulsion between condensational nuclei. These static charges helps to maintain more uniform size of nebulized droplets, aids in super cooling, and results in rapid precipitation when meeting air masses from more polar regions which carry a residual negative ionic/static charge, that also prevents rapid condensation by mutual static repulsion inside of the clouds in the polar air masses. 
Upon meeting at a frontal boundary, the static charges on the colliding air masses allow the condensational nuclei to attract each other, and help the temperature gradient, to generate the rapid precipitation usually seen in narrow frontal boundaries….

Curing Green Diseases of the Head with Solar Power



Below is an interesting podcast from John Batchelor. During the third interview, which is about 40% through the podcast, there is a bit about climate change hysteria. A recent interview on the subject had a Hoover Institute Fellow blathering about his book on climate, which he equated to weather. Just write anything about dire days and you can make a living.

In the podcase, below, you will hear the descriptors "secular religion" and "true believers" in a current story (apparently, don't read American news) of recent letters from an Arizona Congressman where seven universities were threatened by demanding backgrounds on apparently non-true believers. 

Academia is a funding whore.

One professor, a climate change believing Democrat, has stopped his research and reportage about there being no evidence of unusual extreme weather. He said the personal attacks and abuse were not worth the effort. 

May as well listen to the entire podcast and learn what is happening in Arabia:

Batchelor Podcast



===================

How things work: 


Newspaper: U.N. IPCC chair Rajenda Pachauri faces sexual harassment charges – story then disappears from website


The point of the headline is not about the allegations, per se, as accusations have become a substitute for facts.  Character assasination is part of the new world irrationality. Though one could say what is good for the goose or someting like that.  I raised the story because it was overtly expurgated by well-respected The Economic Times. Nothing you read, except here, is to be trusted.  The day after the Furgueson grand jury heard forensic evidence that the charging criminal was shot in the front, ABC again reported he was shot in the back as he fled.

If interested, one can find the original, missing article here, unless that has been purged. 

===========================

Mr. Pachauri, in his retirement statement, said



I obtained this quote from Climate Depot where this statement is praised!


God is dead, morality is passe, and, now, science is a religion.  I will put "sustainability of our ecosystem" on my wall and use it as a mantra.  May help me sleep.  I am reminded of


’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
      And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!....




Anyway, bring back global warming, please.
