15 AnswersGlobal Warming7 years agoAt 1 degree Centigrade does dry air feel colder or wet air?
I know that in hot conditions high humidity feels hotter than low humidity due less cooling by evaporation, but does evaporation become less important in typical cold weather attire and the high heat capacity of moisture laden air become more significant?

10 AnswersGlobal Warming1 decade agoWhy carbon capture and sequestration?
What is good about it? I know some people may not like it because it doesn't involve any esoteric novel science just application of existing engineering technologies. Forget that it would be done by big oil and power generation companies in a large scale industrial way and that some hate this and think everything they do is dangerous. It has a cost but would be available as an interim measure whilst more esoteric technologies are developed and proved. It would enable existing production infrastructure for fossil fuel production to continue in use. Is there a real alternative?
