19 Tornadoes Strike Kansas And Oklahoma In Three Hours

Bullish for GDP, foodstamps and BLS scapegoating of the weather as the reason for a weak May jobs report.

THIS JUST IN from Christian News Service:

TULSA, OK (CNS) - World renowned televangelist Aynul Roberts, son of Oral Roberts of Oral Roberts University, said Sunday that the tornados battering America's Bible Belt are proof that Jesus is frustrated with Evangelicals'  rigid blind support for "QE" which he equated with "The Homosexual Economic Agenda".  After encouraging viewers of his "Anal Hour of Power" to "run to the phone with your credit card to stop the devil winds by making a Generous Free Will Love Donation to (my) Ministry,"  he called for a halt to the tornado activity "in the name of Jesus," a call which appears to be unheard beyond his own tee vee studio.

... the web page you linked to doesn't mean BEANS, and furthermore, you can't explain it.

What does that tell the 'readers' of ZH? That you're technically inarticulate. Technically ignorant. Am I being understood?

If an expert like yourself is not aware of the HAARP website's "Spectrum Monitor Waterfall Chart" and that it can be used to indicate when (and where; what frequency) HAARP is active I can't help you.

 

In fact, at that point, no one can ...

Too funny...

How much energy and at what rate do you think HAARP can pump into the atmosphere? Compare that with the power of a single small thunderhead...

You are truly an innumerate whack job....

Cite first principles how RF emissions between 2 and 10 MHz affects the Troposphere, moron.

 

'Air' is pretty damn transparent to RF energy, nutball.

 

Prove me wrong, ID 10T.

 

 

 

(NEVER MIND that the HAARP array is bascially a planar array POINTING STRAIGHT UP; what's the efficency of a planar array at the horizon? Hint: The Sine of the elevation angle.)

You are clearly suffering from verbal diarrhea...

So once again, how many Watts is HAARP capable of and how does that compare to a typical thunderhead?

PS If the atmosphere is "transparent" to the RF energy, how does HAARP deposit energy in the atmosphere to modify the weather?

You clearly do not have a fucking clue about what you are talking about...

So, we've determined you ARE an idiot, have NO idea how radio works NOR do you have any idea of the transmissivity (transmission coefficient) of THE ATMOSPHERE (to be specific, the Troposphere where weather occurs) at between 2 and 10 MHz (that's 'shortwave' dufus).

 

Thanks.

 

Self ID by you numb nuts is what's needed on this site, F*ckmeister.

 

PS. Turns out it is __you__ who don't have the slightest idea you are looking dumber and dumber with each post on this subject, but then, that's not necessarily a reflection on you, but rather your incomplete education above, say, 5th grade, and onward.)

... hmmm .... with some global temp anomalies FAILING to conform to 'projected' ("model" indicated) rises in temperature for like 15, 16 yrs while CO2 in the atmosphere continues to ramp up ONE would think __you__ might be open to suggestions that your pet theory MAY be invalid.

 

Given the above, one wonders where YOU get your so-called 'science', Hockey Stick Believer

Michael Mann I'd say on a wager ... can you provide sufficient, scientifically-justifiable support for his use of Bristlecone and strip bark tree ring proxies, his use of non-standard, 'bastard' statistical techniques? I'll bet you can (BUT can you do so honestly? Unlike a banker?)

 

 

Denying even potential far-out theories as proposed by Henrik Svensmark linking the role of cosmic rays to enhanced cloud formation due to our presently sun-spot inactive sun, thereby effecting NEGATIVE feedback to GH gas increases.

 

Sure, sure. You know it all.

Run along now boy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

* It has been found that F*ckmeister suffers from a bad case of scientist worship also known as 'appeal  to authority' syndrome. He wants BILLIONS of dollars confiscated for a non-existent PROBLEM -AGW- via dire prescription by the IPCC (a UN organization I might add), since he cannot do the analysis (that is: "read the technical papers") himself and lobby for increased taxes himself.  That's ALL the IPCC does is: read papers and secure a 'global' consensus. That's it. Oh, and recommend taxing the HELL out of anything that moves.

 

Did I get that about right F*ckmeister?

I blame global cooling. It is a proven fact that the coming ice age will trigger lots of twisters. The Liberal hoaxers are proven wrong again! I bet they didn't see this coming. It is their fucked up models that show warming causing extreme weather, when in fact it is the coming ice ages that are triggering the weather changes. Heck, it is cold at my house, middle of May and 45 degrees, like I said, Global Cooling! Keep that in mind when the liberal hoaxers try and get you pay a carbon tax. Just say no, the more CO2, the slower the coming Ice Ages will be in arriving.

Meh. Tornadoes in "Tornado Alley" are not unusual. What IS unusual is the number of tornadoes occurring outside and east of that usual venue. Here along the I-35 we have excellent tornado weather coverage and more than a little practice on what to do in the event of. That may not be the case for other areas less frequented by tornadoes.

Do NOT follow this link or you will be banned from the site!
