The impact of cosmic rays on the climate could be greater than scientists
suspect after experiments showed they may have a pivotal role in cloud
formation.

Researchers have managed to replicate the effect of cosmic rays on the
aerosols in the atmosphere that help to create clouds. Henrik Svensmark, a
weather scientist in Denmark, said the experiments suggested that man’s
influence on global warming might be rather less than was supposed by the
bulk of scientific opinion.

It is a very misleading headline.

Henrik Svensmark,.........said the experiments suggested that man’s
influence on global warming might be rather less than was supposed by

That's rather a long way from saying Cosmic rays are more to blame.

Drink 5 liters of grain alcohol and blame ultraviolet radiation for the funeral bill lol.

What's grain alcohol?

100% ethanol.  We used it to spike the punchbowl in college.  Wasn't legal for sale in California, so we went to Nevada to get it.  Flammable stuff.

Goodness me!

See, we have sunk to all time lows ..actually that bottle could run your car with very little CO2

Depending on the car right?

Reckon any car can run on pure ethanol. Mine did frequently, back in med student days. That was when there was hardly any stock control of C2H5OH in hospital labs and it came in winchester quart bottles

Then why do they keep telling us it's dangerous, check with your manufacturer etc?

I only said it would run. Never mentioned damage to carby's etc

I'd rather drink the ethanol, but some cars, like my 44 year old chevy, will develop problems with concentrations > 10% as the ethanol attacks the rubber/neoprene parts in the fuel system.  The carby on my old girl will fail as the ethanol will destroy the accelerator pump, but it's $ 10 to fix.  Hate to see waht it would cost to fix a moderm injected car, though most have been certified to work with up 10% ethanol.

There were a few times when I would put 2 winchester quart bottles (each ½gallon/2.27litres) in tank after evening classes to get me home. Was extremely poor then. The first car to suffer this treatment at my hands was a '54 pearl white Wolseley 6/90, then my next one suffered the same. That was a dark grey Sunbeam Talbot 90, again 1954 model.

Did you have any problems with it?

a bit of popping, some blue 'smoke' and eventually damaged carburettors, if my memory serves me right.

OOPS

ethanol/methanol also suffer from storage probs, since they are anhydrous...  they also provide less endurance and have a lower calorific value, but generally higher octane ratings.

Ethanol is non-corrosive, but will perish rubber seals (not neoprene though). Methanol is corrosive and will corrode most metals readily. which is a major prob with all modern cars as the fuel system it 98% metal.

The only advantage to using alcohols is generally you can run much high compression ratio's without detonation... and the hole re-newable energy thing though. I heard recently that if Australia converted to alcohol fuels overnight, the required crop to create enough ethanol would have to cover somthing like 90% of the area of australia or something rediculous like that...

And, the ethanol has to be distilled, by burning what?  And creating what?  Ethanol is a joke, and a sop to the farm lobby.  In the USA, the main reason Ethanol is on the agenda is because of the food conglomerate Archer Daniels Midland and their lobbying efforts.

Stil, if you could get pure ethanol at the pump, I'd build that 350 with the 14:1 heads.  Would fit nicely in my Ute. 

Giddy up! you  might be able to go higher than 14...

or just add a super charger 8)

Yeah, maybe.  Or a 8-71 Blower and 11:1.  Maybe global warming isn't so bad after all.

It's the last of the V8's!!!!!!!!

lol.
