That was a typical contextomy that you always seem to use when the questions get tough. As such, your answer is not an answer at all. Again, another reason for me to question the alarmists. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

It seems I am not only crap at physics and maths but also at searching the forums. Can anyone give me a ball park figure as to what a 1kg (2 lbs) helmet with video effectively weighs during deployment? I know it all depends on how quickly the canopy opens. But lets take a distance of 150 meters (500 ft) for the opening distance. That's 172 feet per second down to 32 feet per second over that distance. I just like some figure like the camera gear weighs xx Kilos during deployment. More if the canopy opens fast, less if it opens slowly. Can someone help? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Climate models usually work on 0.5 - 1.0 °C per Wm-2. Why have we not yet had this warming? Easy, Hansen said the heat was all going into the ocean. Only problem with that is in that the latest measurements (not available for the latest IPCC report) show the oceans were cooling (corrected now to say stayed the same temp) in the last few years. Why should I still have faith in the IPCC models and predictions? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

I once did something that was very, very silly. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

More denier stuff from Exxon funded scientists Global warming will reduce hurricane activity! Did Al Gore not say it would increase hurricane activity? More likely he said "storm activity" and did not refer to hurricanes specifically. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

You are just like the people who believe the Jews blew up the WTC. Conspiracy theories everywhere. adited fur spilling. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Before Billvon accuses me again of believing such crap.... No, I do not believe any of the conspiracy theories about the WTC. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

After having twice in the last two weeks my pilot chute in the burlbe and nothing happening for a few seconds, the title of this thread kept popping into my head. I have not read the thread, but the title was still echoing in my head. So after 2000 jumps I really started throwing the damm thing. It helps a lot

WOW The second law of thermodynamics would have something to say about THAT! Yeah, but that's only dotting the i's and crossing the t's Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

So here's one of your peer reviewed journals from 2006 about recent ocean cooling -“Recent cooling of the upper ocean” Strange that only a year later they must release - “Correction to ‘Recent Cooling of the Upper Ocean’” Even though the correction removes the cooling, it still doesn't show the warming that the climate models expect and upon which the IPCC has based it's latest report.. To me this means there is more work involved than dotting the i's and crossing the t's. That IS dotting i's and crossing t's. Tidying up the details. A difference of 1.0 W/m² over 70% of the planets surface is dotting i's and crossing t's ? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Don't send it to Icarus in spain. That cost me 440 Euros for the re-line. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Why didnt you tell us earlier? I wouldnt have done my taxes. Your taxes I woud have done that extra jump today Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

So, Al Gore is right? we really will have 20 ft sea level rises and all the polar ice caps will melt before 2050? If everyone paid attention to the nerdy science we would not have impending disaster. The big hoax is not about whether the planet is warming, the hoax is about the effects it will have and that the piddling amount of CO2 emissions we could cut back on will make any difference at all. The hoax is not the science, it's the politcal crap that is spouted about stronger more intense hurricanes, floods and drought. People in Scotland are lead to believe in 20 years they will have a tropical climate. Better get used to less daylight, less time to skydive unless you want to do night jumps. The earth will start to spin faster due to.... you've guessed it, global warming. Just like the theories the Jews blew up the world trade center, we now have a theory CO2 is going kill off mankind. Just like some believe evolution is a plot by secular humanists to destroy america, some believe that if we reduce our CO2 emmisions we will stop the planet turning into an oven. It's time we stopped all the alarmist crap and get back to reality. Edited to add my cherry picking. Not that I think it proves anything Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

What I really wanted to say was, it should be fairly easy to measure the energy the sun is putting out. Trying to measure how the atmosphere reacts to this energy is more complicated. So, yes, I don't understand what forcing means, apart from the fact I cannot force my suitcase shut if there is too much stuff in it. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Maybe Gawain has got it wrong based on watts per square meter. But maybe your figures are wrong on true forcing. The 0.3 W/m² is real forcing, the CO2 forcing of 1.5 W/m² is based on something different. It's not as simple as you make out. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Me too Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

I am glad the global warming has not affected hurricanes otherwise things would be really bad for you guys across the pond. From http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/ 1. The 1886 hurricane season has been analyzed to be the busiest on record for the continental United States 2. Extremely busy Decade for the U.S. Atlantic seaboard: The 1890s were one of the busiest decades on record for the Atlantic seaboard of the United States 3. Longest lasting hurricane on record: Storm #3 (also known as the "San Ciriaco" hurricane for its impact in Puerto Rico in 1899 And all this before we had any major increase of CO2. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

http://www.cheatneutral.com/ Just like the carbon offset scam, it's not going to make a scrap of difference. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

I have seen the documentry. It, just like the IPCC reports, contains flawed or incomplete analysis. The problem is, both sides, the deniers and the alarmists, think they know what is going on. Neither really do. Maybe one day we will have :- 1) the computing power to really model the climate. 2) the hard data to truely see how CO2 affects the Global temperature 3) the knowledge of how the temperature changes impact on humans At the moment everyone is playing guessing games. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

From your link :- Well I can certainly see why Newt believes the IPCC Whats your reason John? Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

I believe the scientists in the IPCC. The non-scientists that write the drivel such as the political statement for policy makers are almost as bad as Al Gore. It's interesting that a number of scientists have quit the IPCC after seeing how their findings were being presented. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

If the packer is jumping an RDS himself I would expect him to know how to deal with it. Otherwise, I don't think he should be jumping it himself. There again, if you don't set your own brakes and re-assemble the RDS system, the packer could expect a little more money for the pack job. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

Interesting stuff. This means that vidiots wanting to get back from a long spot after a tandem vid have a lot better chance if they unclip those big wings on their video suits. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl

here's one from Germany. The listing on DZ.com under dropzones shows us to be somewhere where we are not I have asked for it to be corrected but it is still wrong. Here is my Google earth map (attached). and a link to the DZ as listed here http://www.dropzone.com/dropzone/Detailed/679.shtml Dave Fallschirmsport Marl
