The Answer to Global warming is trains,Wind and Solar farms.

You apparently don't understand the article. We aren't smart enough to do this. At this point, we are only smart enough to wonder if it would work. And most of what we wonder doesn't actually work.

No apprently its YOU who dosent understand the article . You clearly told stevox that he was crazy because lasers cant move solid objects. The paper clearly demonstrates that your assesment was WRONG as they can and have moved solid objects via laser.


they have also calculated that a phased array of lasers could move a asteroid but it would take as many as 38 days of constant exposure to be able to move something of that size

granted the objects they can move are not anywhere near the size of an asteroid yet it is something they find feasible and cost effective so the air force has continued on in the studies

so ther is the capability of lasers to move solid objects contray to what you had written in your opinion earlier

They said you dont wanna blow it up cause it goes in pieces and will cause more disaster.Not If you hit it on angle.Its like cutting down a tree if you want to fall a certain direction.

Once again Palerider Knows better

he knows more than

Jonathan W. Campbell, a Colonel in the United States Air Force
Reserve, is presently assigned as the Individual Mission Augmentee to the CADRE Commander at Air University. In civilian life, Dr. Campbell is a scientist and advanced projects manager in the Advanced Projects Office
of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

In that capacity he has worked for over 20 years in the space program a number of advanced research projects. He served as the project manager on Project ORION, which was a NASA study published in 1997 that explored the feasibility of using lasers to remove orbital debris. He has published more than fifty scientific
papers on various subjects, including laser orbital debris removal and laser asteroid, meteoroid, and comet deflection.

PULLLLLLLLLEZE

Jonathan Campbell is just one in a cadre of nasa scientists who have their heads up their collective asses and simply want to see continued funding for a "solar sailing" project that has already failed miserably when it was attempted by the russians with the assistance of NASA.

The fact is that photons have no mass. All the proof that is necessary that one can not move solid objects with lasers comes from light speed measurements. No matter how many mirrors you bounce a photon off of, it does not slow down. You can do a light speed measurement in which you bounce a photon off of a mirror a million times and an experiment in which you bounce a photon off of a mirror once and the speed of the photons will be identical. Since a photon has no mass, it can not be portrayed as something similar to a rubber band or a spring that slows down and then speeds back up during reflection. Since it does not slow down and speed back up, it can not transfer momentum and therefore it can not move a solid object.

Scientist take advantage of the ignorance of the public in more arenas than just global warming in an attempt to get funding.

Like i said
palerider knows better.............yeah ok buddy!! I read the whole paper, Your WRONG they can and have moved objects via laser.... PERIOD. Jon Campbell is a documented reputable scientist. Your just some Guy on the internet

you said objects couldnt be moved they can you have been Decisevly proven wrong

Volcanoes can cool down the earths temperature.Volcanoes produce steam though the ashes.Now if we can find away to produce steam plants on Islamds fron sea water it might reverse global warming into Global cooling.But the Problem with raising steam into the atmosphere it might produce too much rain and too much rain will produce floods.

Why would we ever want to do that?

Why would we ever want to do that?

Save money on fans and air conditioning?

Stimulate the woolen sock industry?

Or maybe he just likes hockey more than baseball.

Actually, it has not been decicively proven. Perhaps it has been proven to you, but then you probably believe that the magician really does produce those doves from thin air.

In typical fashion, you are unprepared to actually discuss the subject beyond a link and a string of insults.

Tell me steveox. By what calculations exactly have you determined that the earth is at its optimum temperature and would not benefit from warming?

 

[steveox]

Look at your history.The coolest summer we ever had was way back in 1815 and that huge volcanic exploson down in the south pacific i forgot the name of that volcano.But that was the biggest eruption in the 19th century. Far more worse then Mount St Helens. Heres the link what volcanoes can do to the climate.
Ask your grand parents just how cool it was back in their days.Compare today when its much much hotter now.

Krakatoa. It was cool alright. Crop failures all over the world because the ash blocked the sunlight. Millions starved to death. Is that your answer to global warming?

Let me ask you again how it is that you have determined that the present temperature is the earth's optimum temperature. If you look at paleohistory, warmer temperatures than we have now have been very good for all forms of life.

 

[Rokerijdude11]

NO sir

No insults here.................just the fact that you were wrong in you arrogant rant to Stevox thats all..........

Jon Campbell is a documented reputable scientist. Your just some Guy on the internet

pretty well the end all right there pal

But why are the bees are dying? Why are we having more powerful hurricanes,Storms and Massive Floods? Why are we having droughts? Answer is because of warmer temperatures.Without the bees we cant grow food.

Couldn't say about the bees. We aren't having more severe weather than has been recorded in the past. Not more powerful huricaines, not more floods, not more drought. And there isn't a shred of evidence to suggest that warmer temperatures have anything at all to do with the bee blight.

The fact remains that photons have no mass and it is yet to be proven that a laser can move anyting. The fact that no matter how many times you bounce a photon off a mirror it continues to travel at the speed of light is undeniable evidence that it does not transfer momentum to objects that it hits. Sorry you don't grasp the physics. All sorts of scientists take advantage of an ignorant public in order to get that all important funding.
