ABSTRACT
By the line-by-line method, a computer program is used to analyze Earth atmospheric radiosonde data from hundreds of weather balloon observations. In terms of a quasi-all-sky protocol, fundamental infrared atmospheric radiative flux components are calculated: at the top boundary, the outgoing long wave radiation, the surface transmitted radiation, and the upward atmospheric emittance; at the bottom boundary, the downward atmospheric emittance. The partition of the outgoing long wave radiation into upward atmospheric emittance and surface transmitted radiation components is based on the accurate computation of the true greenhouse-gas optical thickness for the radiosonde data. New relationships among the flux components have been found and are used to construct a quasi-all-sky model of the earth’s atmospheric energy transfer process. In the 1948-2008time period the global average annual mean true greenhouse-gas optical thickness is found to be time-stationary. Simulated radiative no-feedback effects of measured actual CO2 change over the 61 years were calculated and found to be of magnitude easily detectable by the empirical data and analytical methods used. The data negate increase in CO2in the atmosphere as a hypothetical cause for the apparently observed global warming. A hypothesis of significant positive feedback by water vapor effect on atmospheric infrared absorption is also negated by the observed measurements. Apparently major revision of the physics underlying the greenhouse effect is needed.

Evidence that our government “cleanses & dramatizes” climate science to make it scary
Many have suspected that U.S. political intervention in climate science has corrupted the outcome. The new emergence of an old 1995 document from the U.S. State Department to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirms those suspicions, or at least gives the allegation credence enough to ask questions.
It’s troubling that a FOIA lawsuit came up empty – “no such correspondence in our files” – when the old 1995 document was requested from the U.S. State Department late last year. This raises a certain ironic question: If I have a copy of your document, how come you don’t?”
State’s response is also somewhat unbelievable because the document that fell into my hands showed State’s date-stamp, the signature of a State Department official and the names of persons still living – along with 30 pages of detailed instructions on how to change the IPCC’s science document and the summary for policymakers.

Le CEA certifie une pièce maîtresse du tokamak japonais JT-60SA
Le Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) a annoncé au début du mois d’avril la validation du fonctionnement opérationnel de la première bobine supraconductrice qui équipera le réacteur tokamak japonais JT-60SA. Il s’agit d’une première étape vers la construction d’une chambre torique de confinement magnétique destinée à l’étude des plasmas, qui vise notamment à étudier la possibilité de produire de l’énergie par fusion nucléaire.
CEA certifies a centerpiece of Japanese tokamak JT- 60SA
The Commissariat for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies (CEA ) announced in early April validation of the operational functioning of the first superconducting coil that will power the reactor Japanese tokamak JT- 60SA . This is a first step towards building a ring of magnetic confinement chamber for the study of plasmas, which aims to explore the possibility of producing energy by nuclear fusion.
