What's the deal with the global carbon balance controversy in the 1970s?
Q. I've read papers from Keeling in the 1970s but I'm not sure if the topic has to do with just the disappearing CO2 or actually global cooling. I'm not looking for detection of greenhouse warming of the globe. Can someone please explain the actual controversy quickly. Thank You The controversy is related to trying to balance the global carbon budget.
Asked by Teal - Mon Feb 1 22:45:42 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As far as I know, Keeling only measured the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere over a long period of time. It is increasing and he attributed that to the increased combustion of fossil fuel. No one can contest the fact that, by burning today fossil fuel that was supposed to burn or decay millions of years ago, we upset the carbon dioxide natural balance. The only controversy I can think of is hold by those who mean that CO2 measurements are subject to "noise" from natural cycles. Perhaps it is but one cannot deny the fact that, by burning first coal, then oil and finally natural gas, we upset the balance. This combined with vast deforestations must surely change the CO2 natural cycle.

How can I find information about a drunk driving death that occured in the 1970s?
Q. I recently found out that my father was involved in a drunk driving accident in the 1970s in which he was the driver, that resulted in the death of his fiancee. I know my father is a recovered alcoholic but this was news to me, and I don't want to press him on it. Is there any way to find information about such an accident online? The Omaha-World Herald doesn't seem to keep records dating back that far. I don't think he was charged in the accident so I don't think he has a criminal record either.

How well did Inflation Protected Securities do in the 1970s?
Q. Please provide a chart if you have one. If not, please provide some annual returns during the 1970s. OK, since they have only been around since 1997, how do you THINK they would have done in the 1970s if they were around?
Asked by Dr Jim - Tue Feb 5 10:34:00 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They have only been around since 1997. See the link. If they had been around in the 70's, they would have done much better than other bonds, due to the bad inflation. If they had been around in the 80's they probably would have done less well than other bonds, as the 80's showed a marked drop in inflation.

How bad/unsafe was New York during the 1970s through early 1990s?
Q. I'm only 21, and I went to NYC as an 18-year-old and found the city to be, for the most part, clean and very safe. I also found its people to be wonderfully unique--rushed but helpful, sweet and courteous but sometimes curt, and very strong. However, I've heard stories about NYC's past that lead me to believe that the City has really cleaned up in the past few years. I saw some pictures of old MTA trains and stations from the 1970s and 1980s that looked filthy/unsanitary and graffiti-ridden. I know the City had a large population loss in the 1970s and gained some of it back in the 1980s; however, the 1980s saw 1500-2000 murders each year, and the climax came in 1990 with over 2200 murders.

Trying to trace a Sergeant in the Parachute Regiment who was imprisoned in the early 1970s?
Q. Is there any way to trace a soldier who may well still be in prison? I am unsure, as a civilian, how the process works. I know he was imprisoned in a military prison in the early 1970s for stabbing his CO to death. Would he stay there for the whole sentence or be moved to a civilian prison- is there any way I might be able to find him? I only ask as my father is not too healthy any more and this old soldier (who would now be in his early 60s I think) was a childhood friend, and he'd like to see, or hear from him, once more. Please do not judge him on his actions as I really want to find out if I can get hold of him- thanks.

A. The cost of living in Britain in the 1970s was not too bad sugar I seem to remember was seven pence halfpenny for 2 lb. Then came the change to decimalisation. Pre decimalisation there were 240 pennies to the pound, post decimalisation overnight there were 100 new pence (pence not pennies) to the pound. Prices when they were converted (everyone had a conversion chart to hand!!) were always rounded up never rounded down Consequently everything doubled in price except the wages people were paid. This was the start of Britain's economic problems from which we have never really recovered. Can't remember the price of anything else, sorry. but I hope that this info will give a little more perspective upon Britain's metrication in case you… [cont.]
