| | Apocalypse Then
The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the
increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization,
mechanization, urbanization and exploding population.
-- Reid Bryson, "Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for
Man", (1971)
The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo
famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in
spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the
only answer
-- Paul Ehrlich - The Population Bomb (1968)
I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000
-- Paul Ehrlich in (1969)
In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large
areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead
fish.
-- Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . in which the
accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion
-- Paul Ehrlich in (1976)
This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of
the century
-- Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976
There are ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to
change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in
food production - with serious political implications for just about every
nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon... The
evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so
massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it.
-- Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it
continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world
chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.
-- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976
If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for
the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year
2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age.
-- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)
The only consensus is that humans think they are smarter than they actually
are.

| Flight simmers rejoice _Mitch 21:58:58 |
| | Global warming alarmists are a clever bunch. They have very carefully
changed the issue from "global warming" to "climate change." Now any change
in weather, be it mild winters or cool summers can be attributed to "climate
change." Whatever the weather, the news is very bad.
One claim threatens massive storms thrashing our communities. Such a threat
was an easy sell in 2005 as Katrina was blamed for nearly destroying New
Orleans in a hurricane season that seemed without end. Surely it could not
be denied that climate change Armageddon was upon us.
To make the point, in September, 2005, Bjorn Carey, Staff Writer for the
website, LiveScience.com reported that the "Increase in major hurricanes
(was) linked to warmer seas." Said Carey, "the number of severe hurricanes
has doubled worldwide even though the total number of hurricanes has dropped
over the last 35 years." Carey continued, "The increase in major storms like
Katrina coincides with a global increase of sea surface temperatures, which
scientists say is an effect of global warming."
Based on such "scientific" studies and having just experienced such a
horrific hurricane season, the world braced for the 2006 season. Nothing
happened. No severe storms. All was quiet on the oceanfront.
Were the alarmists wrong? Could the predictions be mistaken? Was this the
end of the hysteria? Of course not. With huge monetary rewards and
government grants at stake, the climate change artists knew just what to
do -- switch gears. No muss. No fuss.
In April, 2007, Andrea Thompson, another staff writer for the same website,
LiveScience.com wrote, "Global Warming could hinder hurricanes." Said
Thompson, "Global Warming might not fuel more intense hurricanes in the
Atlantic after all. Despite increasing ocean temperatures that feed monster
storms, climate change may also be ramping up the winds that choke off a
hurricane's development..." Nothing, not even facts stop the dedicated
climate change alarmist.
The truth is, global warming and climate change have nothing to do with how
severe the hurricane season is. Those who have documented hurricanes since
we had the tools to study them report that how severe the season is depends
on a well-known natural phenomenon which comes in two parts - El Nino and
its evil sister La Nina.
Every few years certain elements in the weather cause the oceans to either
warm or cool. An El Nino is a warming of the water temperature and actually
tends to produce a milder storm season. An El Nino is the reason for last
year's mild hurricane season. A La Nina, on the other hand, is a cooling of
the mid-Pacific equatorial region causing ocean temperatures to cool
resulting in greater storm activity and velocity.
Storm watchers issued a prediction that the 2007 hurricane season will
possibly be a severe one because indications are a La Nina is forming.
Forecasters admit they don't know how severe the weather will be because
they don't know how strong the La Nina is. However, it typically means more
hurricanes in the Atlantic, fewer in the Pacific, less rain and more heat
for the southern U.S. and a milder spring and summer in the north. Conrad
Lautenbacher, NOAA Administrator, the federal agency responsible for
hurricane watching further explained, "The central plains of the United
States tend to be drier in the fall during La Nina, while the Pacific
Northwest tends to be wetter in the late fall and early winter."
So this year, if your region is experiencing unusually dry weather, perhaps
a drought, or a cool spring, or a mild summer, rest assured it's completely
natural and has nothing to do with the wit or wisdom of Al Gore. He's just
trying to scare you into giving him another Oscar. Don't be fooled. It's not
"climate change," it's just weather.

| EECH2 versus EECH? Don Burnette 03:38:50 |
| | I had not reinstalled EECH, along with the mods, since building my new
system, anxiously awaiting the release of EECH2.
What is the general consensus on this one? Based on what little I have seen
so far, it would appear, I would be just as well off, if not better, to not
get EECH2, and reinstall EECH and all the mods for it?
Just curious on opinions of those who have it.
Thanks,

| Move to have this group removed from the records Garrot 11:02:36 |
| | c.s.ibmn.pc.games.flight-sim is completely irrelevant to PC gaming now
and should be pemanently deleted. Sad to see what was at one time such
a vibrant group reduced to a group almost as pathetic as the naval
games group.

| Re: BOBII:Spit loses power in dives Rob 06:28:10 |
| | "Yarbles" wrote
Hello, I'm playing BOBII and most of my early missions in the convoy phase were pretty low intensity. Lately, the missions are getting more insane as my squad begins to enounter insane numbers of 109s. Last mission there were over 100 ME109s buzzing around. I'm aware of the Spits issue with diving (carb gets no gas during negative Gs) but how do I get the Spit's power back up? The engine continues to run but the RPMs and speed drop like a rock even after I level out. I typically have to ditch the plane. The last three major dogfights I was engaged I ended up having to land in a field due to the engine crapping out. Is there a way to restart the engine while gliding?
I don't know if it works in this sim, but try pulling a hard positive G turn
and then try to start it

| CH F16 ADB driver Rpg 01:59:16 |
| | Stupidly, I threw out my floppies (ooer) and I think my CH Products F16
ADB driver disk was amongst them. Not that it would help if I hadn't
because I have nothing that can read floppies.
Does anyone have a disk image of it they could email me please? Ta.
(before you ask, I want it for the CRT iMac, which can usefully use the
F16 with my iMate. If I can find *that*, of course).

of software but none for complete desktops for the
flightsim addict.

| Online flying Scatter 13:41:15 |
| | Do many people here fly online either in public servers or with a
group of friends/squad etc? With broadband becoming more common you'd
expect that the proportion of online/offline flying would be changing.
I've flown on both hyperlobby and on private co-op servers and it's
definitely chalk and cheese (with me preferring the co-op stuff).
With voicecomm programs like teamspeak, co-op flying can be a great
experience (perhaps almost as good as a flight-sim lan-meeting).
One nice thing about co-op is that your wingmen are not limited by AI
predictability/stupidity - the difficulty is finding like minded
folks who you'll enjoy flying with and who have similar flying
habits/timetables (interestingly Australia and the USA are sort of
compatible with respect to timezones).
I can understand new flyers being turned off after flying on public
servers either because of radically different skill levels or plain
unpleasant behaviour, which is a pity as the flight sim community
really needs more customers/flyers/(and hopefully developers).

Well, after taking the 20 minutes to install FSX, there were no start menu
