The V-22 flies over my house all the time. It is the noisiest aircraft I have ever heard. Windows that are open will vibrate in unison to the closed position. Dishes will walk across the table. Walls shudder with the beating of the rotors. The pressure waves from the rotors will cause your clothes to contract and expand on your body even if you are inside. It is spooky to be near large pieces of glass when it flies over. It is far more noisier than even a large helicopter. The tilt rotor noise problem has to be dealt with before it becomes a civilian craft.

The APS did not reverse its position on the IPCC's climate change claims. What it did was admit that a large number of its members are not in agreement with this poition and that there should be debate on the issue.The dissenters point out that the IPCC "models" predictions are missing the targets by varying degrees, some quite large in there errors. We've all seen the cartoon where the mathmetician is explaining a problem on a chalk board and smack in the middle of the equation is the statement "and here a miracle occurs". That seems to be what the APS dissenters see in the IPCC's math. I think the claims have merit and should be addressed. The IPCC needs to explain its math and models more clearly. The media claims that a majority of "scientist" agree on the IPCC's position. That can't be anything but nonsense because nobody knows how many scientist there are in the world, nobody has ever polled them, and nobody can even define what exactly or even approximatly constitutes a scientist....a lab coat and a test tube?....scientist is a noun, not an actual occupation. A gardener trying to find out why all the dogs crap in his garden might use the "scientific method" to find the answer. Is he a scientist? If so should he be polled along with the senior resarchers at CrossEyed College on the issue of climate change? A scientist is someone who does scientific research...that is a huge number of people spread out over a huge number of projects concerning a huge number of interest. I think the news media needs to do a little explaining also...have you noticed now how every little bit of "bad weather" is now "proof of global warming" on the evening news? One reporter called the fires in California "proof" of global warming...notice how the far more reasonable argument of bad luck and poor land management has been shoved off the table. The clowns of the media circus have so confused the issue of global climate change that it may not be possible for an individual to arrive at any conclusion with certainty the information ued is accurate. I would feel better if the "scientific" community would step waaayyy back from the celebrity oriented air head news media. They are not an asset to either side of the argument.

They can just ..what ..explode like a ...what...
