Anyone beside me (known kook) notice that this article is a huge piece
of rubbish? It's a wonder "wormley" didn't post it! Important
"facts" reported are:

1. There is a "race" to build a green laser (never mind you can buy
one from many places right now...though not quite as efficient (6% vs
20%).
2. There is a "green gap" (probably an "anthopogenic green gap" =
AGG!)
3. Once we close the green gap our cellphones, blackberrys and other
devices so important to us when driving will include them.

Unnoticed here is the true "scoop" which is the absolute proof that
babies born without brains can still support themselves and earn a
living as "journalists". Now that is a big medical story!

If you would like more information on this subject, Scientific
American suggests that you get out your wallet and fork some cash over
to them so you can read (as Paul Harvey used to say) "the rest of the
story". Who knows maybe for some minor cash investment you could learn
about band gaps, indium migration, and a host of other scientific
facts about green diode lasers instead of the "green gap". But then
perhaps not. Or you could save your money and simply read the above
piece where the "green" laser seems to be "a brilliant blue-violet
flash".

Idiots!

(It's pretty bad when a "journalist" makes "TreBert" and "Wormley"
look like geniuses in comparison!)

hadn't I read about "tunable CO2 lasers," or some such?...
I had no idea, there was a green gap, either!

thusNso:
that is a cool graph. what is the quantity of CO2,
exuded by volcanos, typically?... does anyone have
a quantification of the amount of CFCs, they emit?

the main question is about the "observed" temperature,
due mostly to interpretations "in the anthropocene"
(formerly known as, the Holocene interglacial --
you was then !-)
