Cloud-seeding ships could combat climate change

It should be possible to counteract the global warming associated with a doubling of carbon dioxide levels by enhancing the reflectivity of low-lying clouds above the oceans, according to researchers in the US and UK. John Latham of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, US, and colleagues say that this can be done using a worldwide fleet of autonomous ships spraying salt water into the air.

The 300-tonne unmanned ships used to seed the clouds would be powered by the wind, but would not use conventional sails. Instead they would be fitted with a number of 20 m-high, 2.5 m-diameter cylinders known as “Flettner rotors” that would be made to spin continuously. This spinning would generate a force perpendicular to the wind direction, propelling the ship forward if it is oriented at right angles to the wind (Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A DOI: 10.1098/rsta.2008.0136).

Abramoff asks for Mercy

Jack Abramoff, once a top GOP lobbyist, is asking a federal judge to show mercy when she sentences him Thursday.

Jack Abramoff, once a top Republican lobbyist on K Street, is asking a federal judge to show mercy when she sentences him Thursday in an epic corruption case that continues to rock Capitol Hill and the GOP establishment.

Abramoff, who is already serving a 70-month sentence stemming from his fraudulent purchase of a Florida casino-cruise ship company, will go before District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle to be sentenced in a scandal that resulted in a prison term for one former member of Congress, a dozen other guilty pleas by former Republican aides and officials, and new ethics legislation enacted at the start of the 110th Congress.

In an e-mail letter to Huvelle that was released on Wednesday, Abramoff told the judge that he was "not a bad man (although to read all the news articles one would think I was Osama Bin Laden), but I did many bad things.

Oil Bubbles Point to Eco Disaster in Paradise

clipper's remarks: Collapse danger

"What is frightening is that the Hoyo appears to be leaking from an area where oil was stored," Jeffery told New Scientist.

Nor is the Hoyo Maru the only ship to be leaking oil – although for now, it is the only tanker which has been seen to leak.

Jeffery and his colleagues are now seeking Japanese historians and shipping experts who could remotely assess the contents of the Hoyo's oil storage tanks. If the ship is found to contain large amounts of diesel, this will need to be pumped out in order to avoid severe damage to the local biodiversity and economy.

The situation is likely to repeat itself around the Pacific over coming years. "A lot of these wrecks are in areas where the communities just don't have the resources to deal with oil pollution," warns Jeffery.

In 2003, the US government pumped 10 million litres of fuel from the sunken hull of the USS Mississinewa, a US tanker that was destroyed by the Japanese in 1944 in the Western Pacific.

A sunken oil tanker, one of dozens on the bottom of Micronesia's Chuuk Lagoon, is releasing streams of purple diesel bubbles. On 31 July, the resulting oil slick was 5 kilometres long.

Corrosion experts say the 52 wrecks in Chuuk Lagoon could collapse in a few years, yet no-one knows how much fuel was inside the vessels when they sank. The problem could take on astonishing proportions: more than 380 other tankers lie at the bottom of the Pacific.

The wrecks are overgrown with coral, house a huge diversity of tropical fish, and attract tourists, who provide welcome income to the local population.

The teams were told from the start that the wrecks occasionally leaked fuel, which at times washed up on local islands, polluting mangroves. It was originally thought that the leaks were of aviation fuel – some of the sunken ships carried thin drums of fuel to supply Japanese fighter planes in the region.

U.S. Navy backs off deployment in tense Georgian port

U.S. Navy backs off deployment in tense Georgian port

BATUMI, Georgia — The United States scuttled its plan to sail humanitarian aid into Georgia's main seaport Wednesday as Russia denounced the deployment and sent a naval task force into the waters off nearby Abkhazia .

A U.S. Coast Guard cutter steered its humanitarian cargo instead to Batumi, 50 miles to the south, avoiding a potential confrontation with Moscow in the increasingly tense Black Sea.

Instead, it was Russia that moved to assert its authority by deploying a naval task force armed with anti-ship and antiaircraft missiles in the waters off Abkhazia , which it occupies, the Russian Itar-Tass news agency reported Wednesday. The agency called it a "peace and stability" mission.

Even before crews began to offload the Dallas' modest cargo— 38 tons of bottled water, baby food, soap and other supplies— conflicting accounts emerged of who decided to redirect the vessel Tuesday night and why.

US vessel moors in Sevastopol,Ukraine

US vessel moors in Sevastopol Bay (Ukraine)

US Coast Guard Cutter Dallas entered the Bay of Sevastopol. Thousands of protesting city residents met the boat at the bay. People chanted loudly “Go home!” and waved banners “STOP NATO!”

The second line of defense was held on Grafsky dock where people also held posters demanding the NATO warship to retract from Sevastopol.

So far, the American seamen have not been allowed ashore. According to one of the customs officials, the ship's commander is concerned with the anti-NATO sentiments in the city and does not rely on the Sevastopol administration's statements that the situation in the city is under control. It's most likely that, if Dallas's crew go ashore, they will do it in civil clothes.

The US Coast Guard Cutter Dallas arrived in Sevastopol from the Georgian port of Batumi where, according to the vessel's command, it was unloading, during the night and in secrecy, “drinking water for wounded Georgian soldiers.”

The Sullivan brothers

clipper's remarks: A short account of the deaths of the five Sullivan brothers at Guadalcanal.

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

The Sullivan brothers were five siblings who all died during the same incident in World War II, the sinking of the light cruiser USS Juneau (CL-52), the vessel on which they all served.

As a direct result of the Sullivans' deaths, the U.S. War Department adopted the Sole Survivor Policy.

The Sullivans were not the only brother sailors on board the ship. There were at least thirty pairs of brothers including the four Rogers brothers from New Haven, Connecticut. Before the ill-fated Savo Island operation two of the Rogers were transferred to other commands. According to those who survived, had the ship returned to port safely at least two Sullivans would have also transferred.^{[citation needed]}
