A number of tweaks to climate models were proposed to model the effect of airplanes and high atmospheric clouds.<br /><br />We now have a second data point. <br />I am very curious what will be revealed by analysis in a year or so.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-39388535574593014672010-04-20T00:39:27.268+02:002010-04-20T00:39:27.268+02:00Nothing noteworthy here, not even an altered sunse...Nothing noteworthy here, not even an altered sunset.<br /><br />There are many interesting effects in the economy and additional research opportunities, of course.S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-17118157001395743942010-04-20T00:35:25.344+02:002010-04-20T00:35:25.344+02:00Sorry to derail the discussion but..

Is it warmer/colder than usual?<br /><br />I wonder if the meteorological folks are enjoying 3 days of no airplane contrails to calibrate their weather models.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-31915342487273725972010-04-19T20:36:11.004+02:002010-04-19T20:36:11.004+02:00I didn't claim the "title".
My opini...I didn't claim the "title".<br />My opinion is solidly what I wrote - there's a counter-movement back to combined arms competence (including armour) to be expected.<br /><br />James; this time it's different. It's not about an ATGM hype, but a focus on missions and countries that leave little use for tanks (in part because of their thirst and their unsuitability for running ten thousands of kilometres per year).S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-52845498092354858242010-04-19T20:28:11.237+02:002010-04-19T20:28:11.237+02:00Sven, the only way the Armor Branch would die is i...Sven, the only way the Armor Branch would die is if they stop making leaders in the mold of Guderian. Men who could mold and shape and guide armor doctrine for the coming years. I'm reading about General Stormy Weather right now.

Until such time as they stop, and this theoretical "no more" becomes a real one. <br /><br />And we're doing is saying that a more urban world populations plus great disparity in First and Third World capacity will require fewer tank assaults: agreed. <br /><br />But until such time as the US mothballs the M-1, or loses that incredibly expensive series of training centers and upgrades, I have to believe my eyes.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005912943404628193noreply@blogger.com
