How does that work, (volcanic cooling)? I'm just trying to understand the physics, i.e. how solar light particle hitting a particulate different from hitting cloud, land or sea, and being converted into heat?
Scattering versus absorption. To oversimplify a bit, particles larger than the wavelength of light have a greater tendency to scatter light - that is to absorb and rapidly re-emit in different directions. Much of this reemitted light goes back into space. But small molecules more often either absorb or transmit, depending on the wavelength of the light. C02 absorbs in the infrared, but transmits at shorter (visible) wavelengths. Thus sunlight passes through C02 to earth, where it is largely absorbed on the surface. But some of the absorbed light energy get reemitted as infrared light, and is then lost into space if nothing else absorbs it. But if there are greenhouse gasses such as C02 in the atmosphere, it can be absorbed on it's way out, thus causing additional atmospheric warming.
It's really a very simple theory based on simple measurement. The challenges come in when considering higher order effects, such as changes in cloud cover and heat/gas absorption by the ocean. Thus the overwhelming majority of atmospheric scientist accept the basic theory, and the only real debate is how much and how fast. Of course this is an important question, since some cures could potentially be worse than the disease.
I won't believe anything unless I hear it first from RD - He's the expert. Just like the CA Constitution says somewhere. His kid is entitled to free tuition. And there's no difference between climate change and weather. I believe him. After all, weather changes, and climate also changes, so the warmers are just flat-out wrong on that one.
Bonsall is remote,and those " Farmers" do not make for good neighbors.They tend to be well armed and paranoid for good reason.Their unexpected visitors can also be very unpleasant whether of an official or unofficial persuasion.
The drop in price is probably pricing in that the "illegal farming" required to justify the bubble price will become legal, reducing the street cash value of the crop in the process.
On the climate change discussion, it's the drought cycle and persistent drought in some areas causing water shortages and crop failures that is catastrophic...
So the research on global warming and how it causes drought would be a good focus on this disaster which will lead to hunger and starvation along with the credit freeze and global deflation...
Checking now any good links on the connection between global warming and increased drought...

It's late on a Friday and I'm lazy. Send me links and I'll read. As I've said, I'm not sold either way, just highly skeptical... especially of things promoted with religious zealotry by people positioned to gain economically from it.
Blackhalo,
I want to look at current climate change or global warming research to figure out what's what on the global warming future scenarios based on updated research. The hunger and starvation will come from water shortages and if global warming is causing 37% of that, it needs to be addressed...
I say dump fossil fuels for alternative energy sources and maybe we can dump the Endless Mideast War campaign which is expensive and costly in human life...
How's the new administration doing on phasing in alternative energy and phasing out fossil fuels?
The immediate issue is how much of the global water shortages in some areas for example are caused by global warming...and how much by say...overpopulation...
See, this is one reason why I don't get overly excited, because I am pretty convinced about Peak Oil. If PO is a reality then the problem is likely to rectify itself, no?
The flip side of that is petroleum products are essential to feeding the people we do, not to mention so much more.
TJ,
Well...I can say that there are many websites that I consider unreliable that supposedly expose global warming as a hoax...but those same sites promote swine flu extermination, codex extermination (depopulation), arming yourself to the teeth, etc. so it's a maze of info to process...just look to the actual global warming research...

I AM convinced that global warming is real and that SOME portion of it is human generated, but still think that the proffered negative impacts are somewhat overblown. But I would not rule out some potential inflection point that could result in a cascade. I guess I remain unconvinced that CO2 is as big a driver as advertised.
Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Jerome Kenney spent three decades at Merrill Lynch & Co., where he helped transform a retail brokerage into an investment bank and became vice chairman before it went out of business last year. But he’ll always have Yale University football.
...
Kenney, 68, said the school can become a football power again. Yale produced two Heisman Trophy winners and in 1960 shared the title as best college football team in the east with the U.S. Naval Academy, beating out nationally ranked teams such as Penn State, Pittsburgh and Syracuse.** Merrill, once the largest U.S. securities firm, suffered more than $55 billion of losses and writedowns before being sold to Bank of America Corp.**
...
Neither the Kenneys nor the school would disclose the size of their donation. The Kenney Center is part of a $30 million improvement program that includes a plaza and renovations to the 64,000-seat Yale Bowl.
“The long-term goal is to restore what you had earlier; world-class facilities, which enable you to hire the best coaches and you are competing for the brightest athletes to consider Yale among any other choice,” Kenney, now a senior adviser at BlackRock Inc., the largest publicly traded U.S. money manager, said in an interview about his family’s contribution. “That’s the broader goal.”
No, the long-term goal is to prevent scumbags like you from getting rich by losing billions of public dollars.
You want to know what's right with America? How about High School Football?
A small school that had to win its last regular season game to finish 5-5 and eke into the playoffs had to go on the road to the town next door to play the much bigger school, league champion from a different league,on an 8 game winning streak, #3 seed and

On the Jim the Realtor video: Home built in 1979, looks like an encampment with the fencing about, signs to KEEP OUT, etc.; locked and he says it is getting foreclosed today and still occupied and 'have to deal with that'. hummmm. Something tells me eviction on that one isn't going to be easy and it might include "If I can't have it, nobody can". Bid away folks. I hope the person(s) in the mobile home gets to stay and take care of those horses.
Just guessing but that home and property appears well maintained. Properties that old require things like roofing, siding and other things that age (I know because I live in a vintage 1979 home). So I wonder if the poor schmuck got sold a bill of goods on a new primary or second and just said forgetaboudit. I'd really love to know more details there. I'd also love to see some lifelong suburbanite deal with 'quiet, country living'.
Every few days, we get new programs pouring wealth into the grand scheme to keep home prices high. This wealth will be taken from existing savers and future taxpayers.
Honest to God real green shoots. A 65 year old IT manager who has been looking for work almost two years, finally found some.
Another person I know has been negotiating for a talk show gig (for several years?), finally got it.
One of two young, previously unemployed architects (married to each other) just got a job.
For all those Krugman haters, I believe that less than one third of the TARP money has been spent (although Elizabeth Warren says she can't really tell how much it is...) and 1/6 of that amount has been repaid. (About 300 billion spent and 50 billion paid back?), so we really don't know if the TARP spending will work because it hasn't been spent. At the same time, unemployed people in my neighborhood are beginning to get jobs.
Around these parts, horse property similar to what's shown is all over the place, and the horses tend to be very large pets, that are seldom if ever ridden.
It appears that perhaps the nags in the video ate the occupants out of house & home...
Tijuana-adjacent has virtually no freshwater sources of it's own, and is at the end of 2 very long supply lines of imported aqua (San Diegans: go take a trip to Lake Mead and see it at it's lowest levels since 1965, one of your sources), has most of it's freshwater reservoirs infested with quagga mussels, and after years of it being stalled, a lone desalination plant will be online on the coast, perhaps next year?
So, Jim the Realtor:
What's a place like this fetch in the future, when you turn the faucet on-and nothing comes out?
All of that imported water going to SD from the Colorado River has quagga mussels in it, and they love to clog pipes and before you know it, the pipes begin to look like this...

I think my 'hardening' as a long-employed OR nurse will be helpful in the coming years. I have a big problem though, I can't even kill a fly.

.2-horses, 2-cows, & 2-calves consume a 1500# grass bale every 3.5-4 weeks. ($75. plus gas to PU)
,rad BSR,
Our ranch consists of 2 cats & no cattle, the Calicos in question costing perhaps $100 a year, in kibbles and bits. It sounds like horses cost almost 10x as much.
I think BSR a lot will come from expectations and the ability of 'retirees' to adjust to a lower standard of living which in my view is where we are headed, probably sooner rather than later. Adaptability, skills, attitudes and pragmatism will win out over ever increasing expectations of what one 'deserves'. That adaptability is sometimes a painful process but one that demographic has experienced before.
To flesh this out a little: If public pension plans implode its gonna get ever uglier. I know many are invested heavily, some in CRE, RRE and REITS. SS checks buy less and less as that zero inflation means no raises for them while food, energy, premiums and cost sharing for health care rise but actual returns decrease. This is really going to be the story as aging is defined as decline in ones abilities. For those of us dealing with elderly parents whose benefits, savings, etc. have been subject to the invisible inflation, we will be challenged to fill those gaps going forward. This isn't gonna end pretty.
story line of Old Boy:
On the day of his daughter's birthday, Ho Dae-su (Min-sik Choi) gets completely drunk and is arrested. His best friend No Joo-hwan (Dae-han Ji) releases him from the police station, and while calling home from a phone booth, Dae-su vanishes. Indeed he has been abducted and imprisoned in a room for fifteen years. One day, he is suddenly released, receives clothes, money and a cellular and meets the Japanese chef Mido (Hye-jeong Kang), and they feel a great attraction for each other. However, Dae-su seeks for his captor and the reason of his long imprisonment. While looking for revenge, Dae-su discloses deep secrets from the past.
Nanoo - totally agree. And if you look at the percentage of boomers who have anything close to adequate retirement savings in 401ks, IRAs, etc, it is astonishingly small. My recollection is that median savings for 50 year old cohort is around $50k. I think discretionary spending by retirees is going to decline dramatically over the next decade. Another stake in the heart of retail, dining and hospitality sectors.

California's Master Plan for Education, which created the UC, CSU, and Community College system, granted free tuition to Cali residents.

You can crop out every two months if you're doing hydro and lights. That place would be paid off in a year.

nice to see you give your 2 cents on what it costs to have horses and cows around, my rich uncle (born to oil) blew a
small fortune on raising quarter horses...

,rad BSR,
Our ranch consists of 2 cats & no cattle, the Calicos in question costing perhaps $100 a year, in kibbles and bits. It sounds like horses cost almost 10x as much.
I think BSR a lot will come from expectations and the ability of 'retirees' to adjust to a lower standard of living which in my view is where we are headed, probably sooner rather than later. Adaptability, skills, attitudes and pragmatism will win out over ever increasing expectations of what one 'deserves'. That adaptability is sometimes a painful process but one that demographic has experienced before.
To flesh this out a little: If public pension plans implode its gonna get ever uglier. I know many are invested heavily, some in CRE, RRE and REITS. SS checks buy less and less as that zero inflation means no raises for them while food, energy, premiums and cost sharing for health care rise but actual returns decrease. This is really going to be the story as aging is defined as decline in ones abilities. For those of us dealing with elderly parents whose benefits, savings, etc. have been subject to the invisible inflation, we will be challenged to fill those gaps going forward. This isn't gonna end pretty.

story line of Old Boy:
On the day of his daughter's birthday, Ho Dae-su (Min-sik Choi) gets completely drunk and is arrested. His best friend No Joo-hwan (Dae-han Ji) releases him from the police station, and while calling home from a phone booth, Dae-su vanishes. Indeed he has been abducted and imprisoned in a room for fifteen years. One day, he is suddenly released, receives clothes, money and a cellular and meets the Japanese chef Mido (Hye-jeong Kang), and they feel a great attraction for each other. However, Dae-su seeks for his captor and the reason of his long imprisonment. While looking for revenge, Dae-su discloses deep secrets from the past.
Nanoo - totally agree. And if you look at the percentage of boomers who have anything close to adequate retirement savings in 401ks, IRAs, etc, it is astonishingly small. My recollection is that median savings for 50 year old cohort is around $50k. I think discretionary spending by retirees is going to decline dramatically over the next decade. Another stake in the heart of retail, dining and hospitality sectors.
