Looks like those solar panels will rip right off in a hurricane. Very small too.

I don't see how tree rings can be reliable. Various factors go into a tree's growth pattern. Fertilization, sunlight, precipitation, temperature, and probably others I haven't considered. All of which can vary in different ways over the years. I frankly think they are fooling themselves...

Try windows help and search for ... Command-line reference A-Z It's more extensive than can be used with an actual DOS operating system, but I believe those DOS commands would be a subset of what help shows.

Looks to me like you answered your own question. If Matlab is better and Fortran is in limited use; unless you have some reason other than a line on your resume; wouldn't your time be better spent adding something to your resume by studying something you're actually interested in? Just...

totalinches = 39.5 onefoot = 12 feet = int(totalinches/onefoot) inches = totalinches - (feet*onefoot) I think this will do what you want. If your language uses the backslash character for integer division, (returns only the whole portion of a division) you could write the feet...

I think M&M are performing a valuable service for the climate study community. Maybe people in the community will be a little more critical of colleague's claims. It's disappointing the community couldn't police itself. I hope they get on the ball and make sure all raw data, methods and code...

I wonder what phrase the writer would use for a 1 mile asteroid hitting the Earth if this should be considered a "disaster of global magnitude"

I'm curious as to where in the article GS mentions where and how much they are investing. Seems to me, they wanted to talk about environmental issues, without taking an actual position. I've found that usually when at the beginning of a paragraph I find a phrase like "we acknowledge" or "we...
