Wonder how this idiot plans to put rockets into space with no fuel? Harness a sun spot?
Ammonium perchlorate (solid rocket fuel) doesn't come from petroleum. Neither do LOX, LOH, N2O4, or N2H4.

What is climate science?
I told you before, climate science is the variety of fields of sciences that are impacted by climate.
Like I suggested before, unless you can and will learn about something, avoid expressing your dimwitted and ignorant opinions about them.

And the last Ice Age is relevant to what I posted?
Considering it was caused by climate change then it is relevant.



Seventy million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous, this part of Alberta would have been forest and swamp. Many of the plant fossils in this area from that time are relatives of plants found in modern day China and South America. A walk through UBC's Asian Garden with its dawn-redwoods, ginkgos and magnolias (or the future Araucaria Grove) can well be imagined as experiencing an environment not unlike the one roamed by the dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous.

Horseshoe Canyon is partially protected by The Nature Conservancy of Canada. The Nodwell family, particularly the late Leila Nodwell (interview and article), have contributed greatly to preserving the site.

I'm going to start a new addition to Botany Photo of the Day today - a link to an extra resource that I've found helpful to learn about botany, or photography, or some other topic. I figure if it's been useful to me, it might also be useful to you. I'm also going to bookmark and tag each link on this del.icio.us page.

Photography resource link: The Luminous Landscape - I particularly found the “Understanding Series” and “Essays” of value.

The world is an ever changing place..
That's cool! I converse on a regular basis with one of the head geologist at the university of Lethbridge who has many rockhound students and is a good friend of the Tyrell museums director.I send him gps coordinates of my fossill finds for them to study and try save or record before development.Not many places here in the Alberta rockies I hevent stepped foot and explored. I'll be driving through the badlands tomm. back to saskabush.

Dude,ask any geoligist,the climate is changing,has been for millions of years and theres not a damn thing we can do about it.
Yes climates change. It`s been shown that we do have an effect on climate, though. This particular warming period in the cycle is longer than the past warming periods in the cycle.
It`s simple; we pollute and the pollution has an effect.
So, can you name these geologists that you mentioned?

yes, it is.

Nope, it isn't. This "competition" you are referring to has less to do with science than it does politics and business.

Ask any geologist,they will tell you the same thing because they have to deal with facts,sedimentary layers cant be manipulated,you should check out chandlers wobble also because it all makes sense,it's not rocket science.The earth is unbalanced,it creates an abnormal rotation,the climate changes,the ice at the poles melts which makes sea levels rise,the earth balances out,the climate changes again resulting in ice build up at the poles and starting the wobble all over again.
Thats it in laymens terms.

I am well aware that the planet wobbles, but it is not abnormal. And if it was actually off-balance we wouldn't have a normal elliptical orbit. What keeps us in that orbit is gravity and centrifugal force and that can be changed by an abnormal wobble. It's likely what will happen when we are hit by a large enough asteroid or comet.

There is no field of "climate science". Climate statisics are compiled by an array of scientists working in their field of study many outside the world of "climate".


and just because you gotta be an ass....I'll call ya a fuzzy fart knocker.

No-one said any different. And I was the one that pointed this out to you in the first place.

It suits you. Wear it with pride.

There is no such thing as "climate science" or a "climate scientist". There are Climatologists and only Climatologists.

Bullsh|t. Lots of scientists study climate. You mean there's no particular field called "climate science". ]
There are Climatologists and only Climatologists.
and geologists who study climate, astronomists who study climate, agronomists who study climate, etc. because it relates to their particular fields.

A climatologist is one whose field of study is climate.

They don't study climate. They study rocks and earth systems pertaining to rocks. If the rocks yield information pertaining to climate, fine and dandy but they are still doing geology and not studying climate which is a Climatologists job.

Anyway, there probably hasn't been as much damage to the planet caused by any other substance as crude by a long shot.

lmao Just keep thinking that. It's funny.
