Thank you for that explanation, and the significance of pumping technology, that was the initial driving force of the industrial revolution.

The only "mine" I have ever been down is now a UNESCO Museum, Falu, in the Dalarna region of Sweden. The watery oxidised discharges were found to be wonderful timber preservatives, giving traditional Swedish timber buildings that distinctive red paint look, now known as Falu Red:

"The pigment: Falu Rödfärg contains pigment from the mineralization of the Falun Mine. “Red mull” is created from ore with a low copper content that has decomposed over the centuries. In addition to copper, red mull contains a rare compound of iron ochre, silica and zinc."

Gwendolyn. No problem, I am your friendly neighbourhood geologist - a veritable mine of information.

Supertroll, I wonder if any of these deep partially flooded mines would make a safe place to store surplus Climate Scientists, possibly one of the most toxic industrial contaminants invented by Mann. They could be sealed down mines, until they had reduced oxygen levels to prevent further oxidation processes, and replace it with naturally occurring carbon dioxide.

It would be nice if Climate Scientists could do something useful, for the rest of their lives.

Sorry Gwendolyn, mines already full of neutrino-searching physicists. Physics and climate science do not combine well. Both, however, are seeking the difficult to observe and measure

golfCharlie.
Will the first climate change refugees be American scientists fleeing from the harsh realities of Trump America?
Will they be treated as oppressed or economic refugees, and will France demand it Statue of Liberty back? I can imagine huge refugee camps being set up outside UEA's CRU, Exeter' Met Office and the Grantham Institute.

I think Trump needs to rename the remains of the EPA the Science Protection Agency, to undo all the damage done by Green Environmentalists.

Supertroll, Trump should impose "No Fly" orders on Climate Scientists, and use Swat Teams appropriately. It would appear that an Independent Scotland could be stupid enough to offer sanctuary, and Gruinard needs repopulating.

Gwendolyn. S.P.A. might be a very healthy acronym, but only so long as the waters don't turn Green.

Unfortunately Trump's proposed budget will turn over many environmental programmes to state control, but without supplying any additional funds.

Oh to be a lawyer as one state pollutes the air or water of another, and long-winded litigation ensues.

Do you think climate scientists could be retasked as litigators? They would be equally useless and contemptible (of courts). Mann may already be in training.

"White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney answering questions at a press conference, explained that the reason the President wants to slash climate funding is he considers such funding to be a waste of money."

Some people have been saying Climate Science is a Waste of Money for years.

It is widely acknowledged by 97% of Climate Scientists that Hockey Teamsters know more about everything than anybody else, even if they have to rewrite history, known science and Wikipedia to prove it.

Mann's reluctance to demonstrate this in Court, just demonstrates his modesty, and confidence in the the Legal submissions he has already made stating that he has previously determined his own innocence.

tomo, Democrats should now adopt the Nuremberg Defence, and state they were acting under orders directed by a shadowy evil force. This description would suit Trump's understanding of Climate Scientists, and nobody can really object after Mann's recent performance.

Climate Scientists have blamed everything bad on everybody but themselves. The boot is now on the other foot.

Heh, spied upon and still couldn't be beaten. The press, the Democrats, the Republicans and the intelligence community were all against Trump and they still couldn't drag Hillary over the line. Today I told a friend who believes God intervened that there is something mysteriously wondrous about it all.

After 70 days in office, however, Mr Trump is stuck in the sand. A health-care bill promised as one of his “first acts” suffered a humiliating collapse in the—Republican-controlled—Congress ). His repeated attempts to draft curbs on travel to America from some Muslim countries are being blocked by the courts. And suspicions that his campaign collaborated with Russia have cost him his national security adviser and look likely to dog his administration. Voters are not impressed. No other president so early in his first term has suffered such low approval ratings.

And in the GWPF-approved way, he lies regularly, about illegal votes, being wiretapped, the size of his inauguration crowd …. ….

Thoughtful editorial from The Economist:

Re: illegal voters. In the only major recount, one paid for by Jill Stein, one out of three precincts in Detroit, Michigan had more votes than voters. And still Trump won Michigan. There was little appetite for recounts from the losing side after that one.

Re: wiretapped. Try to keep up, Phil.

Phil, you can find all sorts of articles from the US press deriding Trump. You will be 'faked out' if you put too much trust in them.
