Ever wonder what happens when good social networking sites go bad? With the growth of Facebook & Twitter, poor MySpace couldn’t keep up. It was not pretty.

Facebook relegated MySpace to the annals of internet history by innovating and offering a better product. Now it seems that Facebook’s worries about upcoming Google services has led them down a less than desirable path.
It seems like the ongoing rivalry between Facebook and Google has taken a turn for the subversive. Last night, a spokesman for the social network confirmed to the Daily Beast that Facebook paid a top PR firm to spread anti-Google stories across the media and to encourage various outlets to examine allegations that the Mountain View company was violating user privacy.

Didn’t Google offer myspace a kijillion dollars fro the company and the you owner turned it down? I remmeber a Wall Street Journal Guru saying he really screwed up because Google offered MANY more times what it was worth just to get in on the ground floor.

Have you moved thebunkercompound, or simply traveling a wider circle these days?I’ve always (well, since LST days) worked in the Bear Creek area, commuting from the compound at a secret location west of Rosenberg.
Ace has some interesting commentary on the “Elites” article Texpat linked to yesterday.
A cadre of a managing elite actually has a limited skill set. Its skill, to the extent it has any, is “meta,” not the details of specific skill areas. Its skills are about coordination, communication, networking, and of course preserving its own privilege.
It lacks other skills. This is, of itself, hardly extraordinary; most mechanics are not particularly skilled at medicine, and most doctors can’t fix a car.
But what our current “elite” have is an incredible hubris, and belief that their very, very limited skill-set is some sort of omni-toolkit for solving any problem, granting them instant deep expertise in any subject they survey. So more and more they are actively hostile to those who actually do things in this country, more and more reliant exclusively upon the power of their mutual affirmations and reaffirmations, a human chain of signal repeaters, all broadcasting the same thin, limited, often-wrong information.
I note that the comments at the Mead article and at AoSHQ (and even some of Ace’s) have taken a partisan tone, relegating “elites” to only the Democrat side of the equation. This is tragic if it continues as the “Elite” class is not bound by membership in any Party or adherence to any particular governing philosophy. Establishment Democrat Elites believe in Big Government, Establishment Republican Elites believe in Smaller Big Government. Its that kind of thinking that causes Establishment Republicans to champion “Small Big Government” candidates like Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee or clay footed academics like Newt Gingrich, and jealously guard and protect the entrenched Leadership to preserve thier own privelege. At the same time, they will actively work to trash salt of the earth common sense candidates like Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Hermain Cain, or Allen West. They represent the same threat to Establishment Republican Elites that they do to Establishment Democrat Elites, so Republicans will join in the attacks the Democrats make on them, damn them with faint praise, and use the same tactics the Democrats use to silence the voices of those in the “underclass” who call out for such persons to represent them.

Good, short piece here that goes a bit to show how the Elite in Texas go about preserving thier own privilege. I does perhaps a better job than I did a couple weeks ago explaining that the current gambling bill in the Lege is an expansion of Government rather than Liberty.
However, Texas gambling isn’t something libertarian conservatives, or even big-L Libertarians, should be supporting. This is because it’s crony capitalism, a closed system that you and I cannot enter, so bound up with government that constitutional amendments are required for virtually any development. This is not common sense regulation like licensing or certification. These are insurmountable barriers to competition. Try finding that setup in Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations” or your favorite Austrian School or Chicago School economist. You won’t.

I expect Adee will have a nice weather report for this morning. It is 66 degrees with 47% humidity at my place. Cooler nights predicted through the weekend. David & I are going to my company picnic at The Oil Ranch in a few hours. We’ve been there before, and it’s just GOOD for city dwellers to get out into the country even if just to a pretend ranch. It’s been a bumpy week so some downtime should be helpful.
Did everyone get at least some rain in the over-hyped storm this week? Adee, I don’t remember now if you said you did. CbR, how about the stock tanks in your neck of the woods? I’m not sure if the storm front started that far west from Houston.

Fellow Texans, our long nightmare is almost over. A dark cloud hanging over our fair state has now been lifted. An injustice as old as the State of Texas has been righted. The ghost of Sam Houston may now rest easy:
The House has approved a resolution to make the domino game 42 the official table game of Texas.
The measure was unanimously approved Friday morning during a flurry of consent bills. Despite the huge number of bills pending, state Rep. Erwin Cain of Sulphur Springs read a poem explaining the game and it’s virtue as an alternative to poker. The poem was placed in the House journal.
The game is also known as Texas 42 and is played for four players forming two teams. For decades it’s been called “the national game of Texas.” The resolution would make the moniker official.
The resolution now goes to the Senate for consideration.
And these legislators want to make this a full time job. Term limits now!

We got an inch over in the Fort Bend County seat and its near environs.
The House has approved a resolution to make the domino game 42 the official table game of Texas.
Even this Yankee understands this legislation, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Mocking 42 as the Texas State Table Game is tantamount to mocking bluebonnets as the State Flower. All one needs do is spend an afternoon with among a group of 70 year old Texans to understand. Some things ARE culturally important, and 42 is as reflective of the Texan culture as big belt buckles and boot cut jeans with a circular worn spot on the right rear pocket.

Sarge: You work in the Bear Creek area, the golf course perhaps? I go north on hwy6 from I-10 everyday to go home in beautiful Copperfield. Iffn I knew where you worked, I could stop in and say howdy.
I frequently toil in the salt mines of structural steel in a small office quite near the golf course. The schedule of late has been spotty. As noted here recently the construction bidness sucks dead birds right now. We could meet for a hand shake and a howdy some time, I just can’t predict with any certainty where I’ll be on any given day. Also, the price of gas deems that I take advantage of my ability to work from the compound as frequently as I possibly can, so I am spending less time in the office than I used to.
I can’t wait for 2012.

I saw that a couple days ago and my heart soared like an Eagle to see the event AND that it happened at Fenway Park.
Many of my near home-boys have weird political ideas and keep electing Barney Frank and his ilk, but they do have their moments.

#21 Pyro: That was after this happened:
The Vatican traditionally identifies with migrants and refugees and recently criticised France for deporting 1,000 Roma (gypsies) to Romania and Bulgaria.
I would imagine that those gypsies refused to integrate, therefore the HOST NATION deported them. Now if they would just do the same thing with those peace loving presbyterians.
I see a consistency problem with the pope’s statement. -

S.O. watches this show, usually while I’m watching Top Shot. It was listed last November as one of the shows watched by Democrats. I called it the “Every Man In The Room Is Gay But Me” show. If you’ve ever accidentally seen an episode, you know what I mean.
Looking at that list, I see that almost all of the “Republican” shows are being renewed, and that at least three of the shows on the Democrat side are not returning or are no longer being shown.

I don’t think those 70 year old Texans need a bunch of elitist legislators in Austin to give their stamp of approval on the cultural importance of 42. Were they in danger of 42 disappearing from the cultural landscape without this resolution?
Perhaps the legislature should mandate that every Ice House offer “42 parlors” in order to save our 42 heritage. And to keep the 42 culture pure maybe they should outlaw Moon in an effort to maintain the purity of the game. And anyone caught playing that multicultural bastardization of dominoes called Mexican Train should face a mandatory jail sentence and be required to take 42 Cultural Sensitivity training. Maybe they should create a Domino Commission to oversee the State Board Game and regulate the manufacture of dominoes so that a high standard is maintained. Do it for the dominoes!

That would cause such an uproar that it would result in blood running in the streets!
I remember one hunting trip west of San Antonio where we played moon solely by the light of the full moon – very cool!
The pure focus of the matter is that the lege must stop wasting time with this sort of frivolity!

Going a bit too far there, aren’t you? Putting 42 in the same category as bluebonnets and armadillos isn’t going to hurt anybody or expand government, or go to anywhere near the Liberty Threatening lengths you describe. I’d much rather our legislators spent their time on this kind of legislation than the kind that makes Elites richer than they already are. You’re pickin’ the fly poop out of the pepper here. Lots bigger fish to fry with this Lege.
You go ahead and look at the shiny objects that are put up to divert our attention from the big stuff. I’ll ignore the piddly stuff and keep my eyes focused on the real corruption, government expansion, and threats to Liberty that the Elites are pulling off.

Most of the posters here (including myself) are at best ambivalent (or hambivialent if you prefer) about GWB. He certainly had his share of flaws as a president. But he did have the strength of his convictions and he was a tireless supporter of Israel. The video above includes the majority of his speech. I defy you to watch it and not get a lump in your throat.

Used to be we had a gummint small and unobtrusive enough that we had a Lege that could meet a couple months every two years, declare side oats gramma the State grass, then go home without bothering us too much.
I’d like to get back to that kind of Lege.

If dominoes threatened our liberty the same way that the crony capitalism that is the gambling legislation before the Lege today, I’m willing to bet there’d have been somebody willing to spend $10 of thier own money to make one to warn us about it.
But I still remain unimpressed by the danger to my Liberty that declaring 42 as the State Table Game represents, and will continue to be concerned that the gummint we have today demands a Lege that spends most of its time screwing us to benefit thier freinds.

There are some things that are very wrong about our government, the philosophies of the Elites who run it, and the things they are doing with that power.
Declaring something the state fried food or anything like that is not among them.

Well I’ve going since 7:15, getting ready for our annual Crawfish Boil. First I got out and mowed the right-of-way behind our back yard, then it was off to the grocery store and back to make Dave’s world famous cole slaw and develed eggs. Next rub the brisket and heat the grill up to 600 deg and singe on both sides. Next cover it with sliced onions, garlic and sliced apples and wrap it up in tin foil and throw back on the grill. Next off to get the beer and Ice. In a little bit my cooking buddy and I are heading to Alvin to pick up 120 Lbs of crawfish. These are always fresh and they were swimming in a Louisiana Bayou early this morning before being caught and trucked over here. Later

Well I’ve going since 7:15, getting ready for our annual Crawfish Boil. First I got out and mowed the right-of-way behind our back yard, then it was off to the grocery store and back to make Dave’s world famous cole slaw and develed eggs. Next rub the brisket and heat the grill up to 600 deg and singe on both sides. Next cover it with sliced onions, garlic and sliced apples and wrap it up in tin foil and throw back on the grill. Next off to get the beer and Ice. In a little bit my cooking buddy and I are heading to Alvin to pick up 120 Lbs of crawfish. These are always fresh and they were swimming in a Louisiana Bayou early this morning before being caught and trucked over here. Later
Don’t forget the dominoes.

But I still remain unimpressed by the danger to my Liberty that declaring 42 as the State Table Game represents
The point was Sarge, obviously not visible from your lofty perch, not that such actions threaten our liberty. Such actions are a complete waste of time. Sorry to have troubled you. You may now resume your task of protecting us ignant peasants (who are incapable of recognizing tyranny unless we are shown it in a movie) from real dangers in your quest for Truth, Justice and the Domino Way.

You post a comment that the Lege has done something bad is not coming from a lofty perch protecting the ignent peasants from themselves.
But me disagreeing with you is.
Sounds like Big Endian thinking to me.
To most others, I bet it looks just like a legitimate difference of opinion.
At least, that’s how it looks from my lofty perch, anyway.

I just got back from hauling Handsome Son back from his tutoring session. Hubby’s working on his car – it seems that the damage Handsome incurred by ignoring that metal-on-metal sound coming the rear of his car was more extensive than previously thought. Hubby will be converting the 76 VW brakes with disc brakes. This means that I get to haul my son’s Handsome Butt around a few more days, which will put a strain on my sanity and my schedule. But I love my son, and I think he’s learned a lesson. Nothing like putting restraints on a kid who’s used to taking himself everywhere he needs to go to make a point.
I stopped in at a dollar store in the neighborhood and purchased a pair of green swim goggles and a green snorkel for my dip in the dunking booth tomorrow at 5:00 pm. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, and bring money. I don’t get dunked for free, but I’ll do it for my church. Bazaar starts around noon and ends either seven or eight in the evening. Raffle, games, live bands, you may even get to see me dance, if I can find brave souls to dance with me. Or to watch me. Lovely and I used to swing dance together, but she’s got a new partner now, and I think we’ve danced our last dance.
Aggie Beau said it might be worth it to dunk his future mom-in-law.
Paybacks are hell.

Taurus makes one more suited to the night stand or purse.
I guess I’m gettin’ old because I bought that same Taurus for my part time Daughter when she turned 21. I figgered that with 9 rounds it would make a passable self defense weapon and still be cheap to shoot. Oh and I taught her to shoot and She is Good.
OK,… I’m back, you’re not going to believe this, but while I was typing She showed up at the front door. i’ve not seen Her since Christmas.
Gotta go purge the Crawdads. 😀 -

Clearly my thought processes (I still don’t understand your “big endian/little endian” meme) are just too simple for you to understand. I never said the legislature did “something bad”. “Something bad” would be raising taxes on businesses to pay for state excesses. “Something bad” would be passing legislation to give legislators special rights to bear arms which they say the little people don’t possess. What they did was something superfluous – a waste of time, and thus a waste of my money. But go ahead Big Endian, make it your deliberately obtuse crusade of crusades to turn my simple comment into something it’s not. Or better yet, go publicly pray for me on FB again.

Hi All;
Busy, busy, busy. Yesterday after work I grabbed the bag Mrs. Darren made for me and took of with oldest son to the rendevous point with the other scouts to drive to the camp site. At the camp site we did star gazing, I got to look in a thermal imager one parent uses for hunting, and swapped stories. I heard stories about shooting wild hogs and a rooster. I also learned a bit about the advantages and disadvantages of Apple and PCs. Oldest Son helped set up the tent he and i shared with another parent though Oldest son eneded up sleeping with his friends in another tent.
We had pancakes in the morning and went off for a hike. We talked about the differing trees and examined fdifferent animal prints. Oldest son behaved great and there were some who did not. Overall I was proud of him. He now completed his requirements for the Arrow of Light badge and he’s also advanced to Weblos.
We got home early afternoon and I thought I’d get some sleep. After about ten minuted of eyes being closed Mrs. Darren asked if I can take a couple home. They were over for a garage sale we had at our house and their vehicle was not working. So much for a nap. After I showered I learned i didn’t have to take them home afterall. Other arrangements were made. I can’t fall asleep again so soon and so I’m off to get the Ninja Twins some books. it’s their one year B-Day celebration today!
Take care and behave yourselves.

I have never really cared for legislatures spending time on self aggrandizing sophistries. It does nothing, but make them feel good about themselves. In Texas, this serves to highlight the absurdity of the legislator’s claims that the session is too short and they do not have enough time to conduct the business of the “People of Texas”.

EXACTLY!!
If you spend all your money on booze, dope, prostitutes and gambling, and then claim you don’t have enough money to pay rent – I am not so much overcome with compassion for you. The fact that you wasted the resources you had, in this case money but time also applies, does not negate your statutory responsibilities.
The lege wastes lots of time on meaningless terd-nozzle product, and then has the gall to claim that they do not have enough time to conduct the peoples business.
A responsible parent would not take that kind of BS from a 3rd grader nor should responsible citizens of the Great State of Texas accept that crapola from our legislator-terds. -

Good night Hamsters. A gorgeous morning started at 60 and just got better with a dry northerly breeze and clear sky. Looking forward to a cooler start to Sunday. We’ll be missing the lovely patio weather here this week but will be enjoying a revisit to winter-type (for Houston) spring weather in lovely Colorado Springs and environs.
Spouse is attending the annual meeting of an oil and gas professional society, at the Broadmoor resort no less. Always wanted to see the place, so now we can up close.
He’s receiving an award for excellence in technical achievement, so of course we have to show up.Mara’s respiratory difficulty is diagnosed as an inflamed tissue that’s swollen such that it constricts her windpipe on one side when she bends down to graze or less so to eat from her feed box in the barn. Gratefully it is not a tumor. Thank you St. Francis. The vets conservatively recommend treating it with antibiotics for about 6 weeks to see if it shrinks satisfactorily. If not, surgery is an option. She’s boarding at the vet clinic while we’re gone.
The condition is rather rare, but then she is our mare, and strange ailments come to our barn.
This just adds to the now rather eye-popping list. -

I found myself in conflict with some freinds. Some of them said some things that wounded me deeply. Here’s what I did about it:
I expressed my feelings about it in a manner where I did not mention names, seeking counsel from family and other freinds.
I prayed about it.
I forgave everybody involved.
I gave it to God.
I am not ashamed of that process. I will not apologize for it, and I will repeat it in the future, although seeing your reaction to it, I will refrain from doing it in places where you and Squawk might notice. But I will still pray for you, forgive where I feel it might be helpful, and pray for forgiveness where it might be needed.
I’ve found that forgiving people, particularly for the small and petty things they may do or say, is a good deal more healthy for me than carrying things around and letting them eat me up inside.

IMF head Strauss-Kahn charged with attempted rape of hotel maid
snip
The trouble began at around 1 p.m. yesterday when a 32-year-old housekeeper entered Strauss-Kahn’s $3,000-a-night suite at the luxury Sofitel on West 44th Street — apparently unaware he was still inside.
The married Strauss-Kahn was in the bathroom, and emerged naked, chased her down a hallway and pulled her into a bedroom, where “he jumps her,” a source said.
“She pulled away from him and he dragged her down a hallway into the bathroom where he engaged in a criminal sexual act, according to her account to detectives,” Browne said. “He tried to lock her into the hotel room.”
Soon afterward, Strauss-Kahn got dressed and headed off to JFK for a flight to Paris.
snip
The shocking arrest came hours after a Socialist Party ally of Strauss-Kahn accused Sarkozy of kicking off a smear campaign against his longtime rival — focusing on his lavish lifestyle, including his preference for suits from the same tailor favored by President Obama.So let me get this straight, the slime-ball socialist head of the IMF, sexually assaults a maid in a $3000/night room in NYC and his socialist buddies accuse Sarkosy of a smear campaign??? After looking at the head of the IMF, is it any wonder that every dollar we pour into that organization yeilds a worse result than simply burning it?

further to my #70 above, doesn’t it provide an interesting look at the tactics of the socialists? They have their ranks populated by some of the most morally reprehensible poeple on the planet, yet they scream about how Sarkosy is “smearing” Straus-Khan. The Demo-terd-nozzle-nazi-SOBs rail about how bad deficit spending is under Bush (all the while refusing to cut any social [vote buying ] program regardless of how wasteful and unconstitutional it may be) then when they have complete control over the budget process they increase the deficit 4 fold! It should be clear to anyone who really wants to know the truth that the D’s are a bunch of walking talking stacks of lying crap!

I am sunburned and worn out from my day trip to the Oil Ranch. It is good for city folk to see cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, barnyard and water fowl, etc from time to time. But 50 acres equals a lot of walking. There were some wonderful large Chinese geese that mingled with the visitors, looking for popcorn handouts. I will say those birds had better personalities than most of the current members of my HOA board.

Mornin’ Gang
Well the annual Crawfish Boil was a big hit as usual, we didn’t have as many people this time as last but it was much more family and friends than the block party crowd. We invited the usual suspects but my buddy and didn’t kick this thing off until last Saturday and it was just short notice. We did have 26 show up ’bout half the last time. Never knowing who will show up, I always cook a brisket in case some of the folks don’t like crawdads. As usual most of the brisket was left over and that is a good thing because we had a big bunch of crawdad eaters. We had 120 Lbs of Crawfish, tater salad, cole slaw, noodle salad and deviled eggs. My Huntin’/Cooking Buddy’s boy didn’t show up until 7:30 and he tore into the crawdads, I happened to mention the brisket and he said is there any more left and I said I’ve not touched it yet. I opened it up and sliced about 3-4” off the tail and it fell apart when I tried to put it on a plate. It cooked slowly all day long and would melt in your mouth. We had our Small Back-Up Dawg and my Buddy’s Lab puppy and my Boy’s crazy Bull terrier so they were real interested in the brisket. The 2 bigger dogs chased each other all over the back right-of-way all night. I got out early this morning and washed both of the pots and put away all my stuff. I just need to get the trash around to the front of the house. Anywho, last night was one of the best times that I’ve had in a while. -

I opened it up and sliced about 3-4” off the tail and it fell apart when I tried to put it on a plate. It cooked slowly all day long and would melt in your mouth. We had our Small Back-Up Dawg and my Buddy’s Lab puppy and my Boy’s crazy Bull terrier so they were real interested in the brisket. The 2 bigger dogs chased each other all over the back right-of-way all night. I got out early this morning and washed both of the pots and put away all my stuff. I just need to get the trash around to the front of the house. Anywho, last night was one of the best times that I’ve had in a while. -
Dear Mr. Self Righteous Pious Hypocrite
I found myself in conflict with some freinds. :
For what? Disagreeing with you?
Some of them said some things that wounded me deeply. Here’s what I did about it
Nothing was said that was anything but honest disagreement with you.
I expressed my feelings about it in a manner where I did not mention names,
Oh how considerate. Why that is just so sweet of you. YOU HYPOCRITE. You went fishing for more people to stroke your bruised little ego. You went straight to the place where you knew all your little buddies would back you up and tell you how great a person you are.
seeking counsel from family and other freinds.
On FACEBOOK? Bwahahahahahahahaha You were no more seeking counsel than I am here now. You were whining because your ox got gourd. I read what you said. I read the exchange and what others said. I sure did not see you inviting them to read EVERYTHING that was said here. Oh no sir that was not gonna happen.
I will refrain from doing it in places where you and Squawk might notice.
Here you might try this place, I never go there. You can even create an account with your facebook account.
Well well ain’t this sweet. So considerateBut I will still pray for you,
Don’t bother
forgive where I feel it might be helpful,
Oh where it might be helpful you will forgive? The rest of the time you will be justified to not forgive I suppose. Still the judge.
and pray for forgiveness where it might be needed.
You know what really makes me sick Serge’ you and I have another something in common. Here let me jog your memory. The ninth step . It is real nice to be all justified in the fifth step ain’t it? You self righteous hypocrite. You want to tell everyone how good you are doing all the while you are rotting inside yourself.
I’ve found that forgiving people, particularly for the small and petty things they may do or say, is a good deal more healthy for me than carrying things around and letting them eat me up inside.
And you think your words and actions have not adversely effected others? You think you were never in the wrong? Thanks for making my case with that last comment. If you are that easily offended Serge’ that someone disagrees with you it “hurts” you well I would suggest another vocation like discussing Barney or Sesame Street with 3 year olds.

I thought the link might be to Hell and although it is not, it’s close enough.

I don’t know what to think about all the feuding on the Couch lately. Any chance it can just be ended? Left behind; over & done with; let’s all move on?

You peeked. LOLWhat is it about these people that feel they gotta get nekkid to make a point? I always got a huge giggle out of these women that posed nekkid in Playboy claiming it was some cathartic, liberating experience. All the while Hugh Hefner was laughing all the way to the bank and voyeurs got their jollies off.

And as i think about it, I watched the McCain nekkid commercial and I could not tell you what the commercial was about. See what I mean.

Obviously, given the pork, the nekkid commercial must have been for PETA and the be kind to animals crowd.

All we got out for rain out here was was an inch & four tenths along with some really severe wind. Didn’t do much for the stock tank and the two big Kritters are dismayed they have to stay up in their pen instead of waltzing around down on their 8 grazing acres. -

Nobody here wants to beat you. A much more appropriate response video to Meghan McCain’s nekkid video HERE.

David Evans is a scientist. He has also worked in the heart of the AGW machine. He consulted full-time for the Australian Greenhouse Office (now the Department of Climate Change) from 1999 to 2005, and part-time 2008 to 2010, modeling Australia’s carbon in plants, debris, mulch, soils, and forestry and agricultural products. He has six university degrees, including a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. The other day he said:
The debate about global warming has reached ridiculous proportions and is full of micro-thin half-truths and misunderstandings. I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the evidence, was once an alarmist, but am now a skeptic.
And…
He makes clear he understands that CO2 is indeed a “greenhouse gas”, and makes the point that if all else was equal then yes, more CO2 in the air should and would mean a warmer planet. But that’s where the current “science” goes off the tracks.It is built on an assumption that is false.
The science:
But the issue is not whether carbon dioxide warms the planet, but how much.
Most scientists, on both sides, also agree on how much a given increase in the level of carbon dioxide raises the planet’s temperature, if just the extra carbon dioxide is considered. These calculations come from laboratory experiments; the basic physics have been well known for a century.The disagreement comes about what happens next.
The planet reacts to that extra carbon dioxide, which changes everything. Most critically, the extra warmth causes more water to evaporate from the oceans. But does the water hang around and increase the height of moist air in the atmosphere, or does it simply create more clouds and rain? Back in 1980, when the carbon dioxide theory started, no one knew. The alarmists guessed that it would increase the height of moist air around the planet, which would warm the planet even further, because the moist air is also a greenhouse gas. [emphasis mine]
But it didn’t increase the height of the moist air around the planet as subsequent studies have shown since that time. However, that theory or premise became the heart of the modeling that was done by the alarmist crowd.
Read on, friends. The article includes citing the outstanding AGW skeptic, Richar Lindzen.
