cohenite,

"...Flaubert was both repulsed and fascinated by the bourgeois...."

Me too!

(J'ai un coeur simple)

Off to bed now children, it's getting late. Poirot make sure your younger sibling has on fresh diapers.

Don't forget to dream about Hottell.

Don't forget that there are other children who might like to play in this sandpit sometime…

I was interested in the sober tone of the article, but would have been more engaged if presented with any evidence of errors of fact.

Though I think it's problematic to compare entries for a political party whose support can be counted by votes actually cast, with a lobby group whose wholly immodest name claim of representing all Australian Christians can at best only be lobbied against.

Maybe the easiest solution to satisfy Mr Miller is for both editorial teams to swap for a bit?

But putting aside the article's ideas of compromised credibility for a second… cohenite, you might be excused a typo of Prof Hottel's name in your first post – to repeat it three further times when you want us to follow your presentation of some of his research might be interpreted as lazy.

In any event – for those of us who are interested, how about putting up a link or reference? Preferably one not behind an MIT paywall. Thanks.

My apologies Mr Trevor; I came across Hottel not through direct experience since I am not an industrial chemist but through Nasif Nahle's work on the emissivity of CO2 as it is applied, incorrectly, to AGW; for instance:

cohenite,

I came across this conversation (in the comments section) on emissivity when looking up Hottel. You're in full flight and Nasif Nahle is there too! It seems you encountered a bit of opposition to Nahle's work though.

"It seems you encountered a bit of opposition to Nahle's work though."

So what?

What is your take on the issue?
