Steven,
At those temperatures…
I wonder how my plastic Canadian currency would hold up?
How much energy would it take to keep my fuel warm enough to generate power?
Does spit freeze before it hits the ground?
Maybe there is a metal post there you can lick. That would be something I’d like to hear about from ya.
“How much energy would it take to keep my fuel warm enough to generate power?”
Kerosene resolves the need to keep the fuel warm but at -30C you really want to make sure you keep the furnace running because working tools with your at those temps is not a pleasant experience. (Note: Kerosene stored at -30C should not be spilled on fingers when trying to prime the fuel lines!!!)
Does spit freeze before it hits the ground?
That comment put thoughts of Jack London in my head. 🙂
“As he turned to go on, he spat speculatively. There was a sharp, explosive crackle that startled him. He spat again. And again, in the air, before it could fall to the snow, the spittle crackled. He knew that at fifty below spittle crackled on the snow, but this spittle had crackled in the air. Undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below—how much colder he did not know. But the temperature did not matter.” http://bit.ly/R8x7Ob
Spit freezes in flight at ~ -50°. But it’s -144°f with the windchill. I wonder what else freezes at that temp before it hits the ground? I wonder if at that temp you’d likely just freeze to death in mid stride, and be left as just a standing ice statue.
The Jack London quote is a neat analogy as to how the noisy AGW arguments are breaking up in the air before they even hit the ground. Of course the Media is still trying to keep your earmuffs on so you don’t hear the sound.
