Climate experts predict temperature drop

Posted By Robert Pasken
Let's try this yet again. Weather is not climate. Repeat after me Weather is not climate :C The short-term effects of La-Nina/El-Nino are clearly seen in the instrument record that documents global warming. Yes, because of the El-Nino/La-Nina effect the 2008 global average temperature will be cooler than the trend line, but warmer than 2007 and warmer than previous years. The same thing happened in 1998/1999, when another strong El-Nino/La-Nina event occurred. How is this anything new, different or newsworthy over what has been discussed over and over and over again in this group?

Mounts and Weatherproofing

Posted By Robert Pasken
I also have a pier on my deck and I use a grill cover to protect the mount. It seems to do better than most other covers. I cover the head and part of the pier and hold everything in place with a velcro and bungee cords.

Try the Mercury Systems compression ring adapter. It screws onto Synta 2" drawtubes and gives you a 2" compression ring

Further proof of No Warming

Posted By Robert Pasken
Looks like you still are not able to understand the difference between weather and climate even though the topic has been beaten to death.

Further why would you think your current weather is so strange? The average last day of frost in Waseca Mn. is May 4 and the average last snowfall date is March 30. A snowfall in mid-April isn't uncommon in your part of Minnesota. April snow isn't even uncommon in Missouri.

31,000 Scientists Rejecting Global Warming Theory

Posted By Robert Pasken
Rick has already pointed out my replies to the Oregon Institute of Science and Malarky's petition, but I thought you might be interested in some interesting pieces of information about Fredrick Sietz the man that provided the cover letter for OISM fraudulent press releases. Seitz ended his active research role in in 1968 to take on an administrative job as president of Rockefeller university. After retiring from academia altogether in 1979, he became a ‘permanent consultant’ for RJ Reynolds Tobacco. In 1989, CEO of RJ Reynolds let Seitz go because “Dr Seitz is quite elderly and not sufficiently rational to offer advice”. Seitz has continued to work for the Marshall Institute and other such think tanks. He is currently 96 years old. SO here you have it; SOme you who stopped being a scientist 40 years ago, worked as part of the Tobacco lobby discrediting the link between cancer and nicotine , but had to be released because he wasn't "sufficiently rational"

Re: Hypersensitive concern about assassination

Posted By Robert Pasken
You are not conservative by any definition I am aware of. >sad Further all I have to judge whether you are racist or not is the continued stream of racist comments in your posts. You might try reading your own posts for some of your diatribes against anything or anybody who disagrees with your very self-centered outlook. Oh I get it now you don't mean conservative republican in the form of "If you want a helping hand look at the end of your sleeve", but conservative republican in the Reagan sense "I got mine s***w you".

Microfocuser for C8 orange tube

Posted By Robert Pasken
Why not just a FeatherTouch with the SCT adaptor that allows you to "screw" the FeatherTouch onto the threaded ring that the eyepiece adaptor is currently attached to?
