Let's see if he floats on either warm or cold air!

Quick, to get the hot air, get 2x6 to blow into this hose!

My mom often told me that the air in my bedroom was so thick she could hang an axe in it.

You're correct. PV=nRT, and all.  Increasing the humidity or temperature of the air makes it less dense. With air molecules packed less densely, they travel further before bumping into their neighbors as a sound wave propagates through the gas. This results in faster transmission of sound. Not if you're moving away from the source equidistant to the speed of the sound wave. HA! See, science if corrupt .

I found it to be quite interesting. The list includes 617 eruptions rated from 'non-explosive' to 'colossal' in our recent geological history. It seems to me that there is a continual 'zitfest' going on.
The scariest one for us in western North America, & perhaps even farther, is the sleeping giant, Yellowstone's Super Volcano, WY.
Not really. Here's some fun reading. From what I can tell from surveying a few papers, it takes a whole lot of large events of a particular type to strongly influence climate. Even that is in question. Amusingly it seems that for those that think volcanoes have an effect on climate, it seems it is global cooling not warming. Guess its been a while since I did any reading on that topic. Now, on with the witch burning...

Yup, that was fun reading - not, ha!
From the minimal research that I did in the past day, I've come to the conclusion that, just like the present dissenting camps, there is often disagreement amongst even the finest experts on the effects of all these contributing factors as they relate to how our earth's climate operates & why & how it is altered over the long term.
It seems to me that nobody really knows for sure as it is just too big for us to fully comprehend at the present time. Perhaps with the inevitable increased sophistication of future technologies, we will eventually get a handle on this stuff. In the meantime, we have to keep a grip on those in charge & especially those with vested interests to hopefully ensure that they don't continually overreact & run amok. Despite what the alarmists preach, there is time to sort these matters out, if indeed they need sorting out.
I'm done. Thanks for the discussion...

I'm interested in getting a baseline on the scientific literacy of those participating in this thread. I unfortunately have to bring up a subject that is controversial, but really should not be, given the supporting evidence.
Evolution. Do you agree or disagree that it is currently the best explanation we have for how the current diversity of life on Planet Earth came to be?
