Eduardo Jezierski has a passion and results leading teams architecting, implementing and deploying innovative solutions in multiple contexts. Having spent most of his career in the private sector, Eduardo has an MsC in Informatics after having studied 3 years for Nuclear Engineering and worked in Argentina in the areas of GIS analysis, machine learning and modeling for anthropology challenges. His thesis was on robotics control, genetic algorithms and neural networks.
Eduardo has performed as Program Manager and Solutions Architect at Microsoft. He was one of the founders of a team dedicated to building software assets (tools, practices, frameworks, services, content and information architectures) to improve quality and productivity of Microsoft’s business customers. The usage of these assets and frameworks climbed from its inception to over a million developers worldwide and adoption in excess of 80% of target market – including financials, healthcare, military and manufacturing customers. He also set the strategy to build communities consisting of academia, software vendors, partners and customers and grassroots participants by initiating new sharedsource approach for engineering at Microsoft, with over 25.000 registered members and hundreds of thousands of lines of source code shared; while achieving IP protection for Microsoft and participating members. An practitioner of agile approaches, Eduardo has built and led numerous worldwide distributed teams producing mission-critical quality assets in months; and has presented on worldwide on architectures and approaches for large distributed systems in global conferences. The arenas he’s worked on include transactional and analytics systems, systems integration, scalable web services, user interfaces.
Eduardo helped found a team at Microsoft dedicated to starting new businesses by providing an internal venture capital model and growing innovation practices and entrepreneurship in the company, a function of the Chief Software Architect. He contributed to defining strategy and early execution of the new group and delivered prototypes in the domain of mesh architectures, real-time communications and immersive web environments for long-tail of retail. Some of these prototypes were done and validated in the field in collaboration with Microsoft’s Humanitarian Systems group.

You have chosen two not very significant variables over a convenient timeframe to show correlation. And no link to data. Are we supposed to believe JPGs from your website just because they are "charts"? Lol. Enjoy your chevron paycheck.

I was presenting at AAAS last meeting and a big % of the conference was about climate change; and species-survival level topics. Climate change is "Widely discredited" by selfish ignoramus like you, sure.
Re: your feeble points it's not a trend:
How about the following tidbits(which may be easier to comprehend than some statistical lingo)
- Every year since 1992 has been warmer than 1992
- The ten hottest years on record occurred in the last 15
- Every year since 1976 has been warmer than 1976
- The 20 hottest years on record occurred in the last 25
- Every year since 1964 has been warmer than 1956
- Every year since 1917 has been warmer than 1917
The five year mean global temperature in 1910 was .8 C lower than the five year mean in 2002. This, and all of the above, come from the temperature analysis by NASA GISS, a great resource:
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2011/ for last year, for example
Your "people in Wyoming being molecules" thing is hilarious. How many elementary students there are in Cheyenne is supposed to be related to healthy levels of CO2 in the atmosphere? How about this- if all the Wyoming folks were molecules of water, if just one of them was an Uranium atom, the water would be poisonous for you to drink.
Yup, trace materials can have a big influence. So the fact that numbers are little doesn't mean their effects are little.
To your numbered points
1: Yes
2: A doubling of CO2 will cause a 0.8°C difference? I won't even engage on this troll line.
3: So the fact that people can be for a while in an environment without all the complexity of the earth and its atmosphere and the sun and in which life has evolved is supposed to be demonstration that it would be healthy for the planet to have that composition? Spare us additional fallacies.
Sincerely I one day hope you grow a pair and apologize to your children.
Sorry to everyone else for feeding the trolls.

Yes change is constant. Just imagine - Even your anti-climate-change politically-driven speaking points have changed too! They've been debunked for a while. You might want to get them refreshed, so at least you can argue with some sense of self respect. You know, because you are unlikely to get anyone else's.

A reply on Talk: David MacKay: A reality check on renewables
Yeah, two groups of people think its a good idea:
1) The ones with money who want energy-rich lifestyles and don't care about those without money who now can't compete for their food production and see their ecosystem degraded by fuel-crop monocultures.
2) The ones who profit from selling to #1
Of course the criteria of #1 and #2 for what is a good idea could be debated.
