Global Warming Skeptics (Free subscription) | 29/09/2008
From Greenie Watch POSTED IN FULL Saturday, September 27, 2008 Another skeptic: Dr. Martin Hertzberg, a retired Navy meteorologist with a PhD in physical chemistry A letter to USA Today from Dr. Hertzberg [ruthhertzberg@msn.com]: As a scientist and life-long liberal Democrat, I find the constant regurgitation of the anecdotal, fear mongering clap-trap about human-caused global warming (the Levi, Borgerson...

Well, sort of. I mean, yeah, in a way: Dr. Martin Hertzberg, a retired Navy meteorologist with a PhD in physical chemistry, is one of the more than 500 scientists featured in the U.S. Senate’s report of scientists dissenting from man-made global warming fears. See this U.S. Senate report. Forwarded for your interest is a copy [...]

• A pair of Russian physicists, Radushkevich and Lukyanovich, first discovered carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1952; they published clear images of 50 nanometer diameter tubes made of carbon in the Soviet Journal of Physical Chemistry . However, little attention was given to their discovery, and it was not until 1991 that these unique structures first gained widespread attention among the world's scientists,...

From the mid-1960s onwards, David Husain and his colleagues at Cambridge University did pioneering work on the rapidity with which excited atoms reacted with simple molecules such as hydrogen and the light alkanes, processes of great relevance in the context of atmospheric chemistry.

All those Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry classes are tough to pass, no need to tell how difficult it is to get an A in it. You need to work so hard, do all homework tasks, be extremely attentive in the class and just try your hardest but still you have final exams you need to [...]

In the realm of physical chemistry (or is it chemical physics') there was almost theological interest in this week’s Alchemist. Having written about water glass and how low-temperature studies of aqueous phase changes are helping scientists to explain this anomalous and yet ubiquitous material it was a simple spellcheck-induced typo that drew the most interest [...]

http://www.householdhacker.com/?p=12 TRWTF here isn't that there is no overt indication that the projects on this site are hoaxes and almost completely unfounded in the principles of physics or chemistry. Oh no, TRWTF is that if you post a comment on the website explaining how short-circuiting alkaline batteries can lead to chemical burns, fires, and damaged electronics, the comment will be promptly...

Airline travel is carbon intensive – there’s no way around that. Despite more fuel-efficient and cleaner burning engines on newer planes, with increased demand for air travel and the physics and chemistry of high-altitude emissions , airlines face significant challenges in lightening their footprint. But it isn't as if commercial aviation hasn't faced challenges before. Continental Airlines , the...

An off-line question from someone at Seed : Fundamentally, what is the difference between chemistry and physics? There are a bunch of different ways to try to explain the dividing lines between disciplines. My take on this particular question is that there's a whole hierarchy of (sub)fields, based on what level of abstraction you work at. The question really has to do with what you consider the fundamental...

It's important to have goals. My goal is to win a Nobel Prize. I’m not fussy about which one. It could be for physics, chemistry, psychology, medicine, peace, or even that squirrely one for economics. I can rule out literature,...

This is a biography of Charles Darwin's grandfather. He was a doctor by trade, and one of the most highly rated in the country, but was one of those classic Enlightenment figures whose interests included botany, meteorology, physics, chemistry, engineering, philosophy and just about anything else that came his way. And for a few years [...]
