    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    It depends upon which form of life you are referring to. It looks like a good thing for humans (at least in the short term), but we are not the only species on the planet. And usually if something degrades other species, it eventually takes a toll on humans.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    "Something else" is just another good sort who is uneducated in the details of climate change. :)

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    It might, but not to people. It could be that the small difference could trigger a large scale change in the wildlife and/or the habitat of the wildlife. Even less of a change in temperature has happened in the oceans and it is causing all kinds of changes in wildlife and its habitat. In...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    The pine beetle population surges and wanes and it isn't that subject to cold. If it was that sensitive to cold it would simply move south, not east. IOW, the pine beetle is not a good indicator of global climate.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Actually, if it were me, I'd rather just get more expert opinion and more data and recheck everything. If the scientists on one side of an argument fudge, that doesn't make the other side honest. Also works in the reverse mode when doubters attack the characters of the climate scientists. And...

    AGW Grudge Match

    I wasn't pointing fingers, but since you brought it up, I do think the Slim has blinders on, yes. He states that humans haven't had a significant impact on climate, but obviously, the "experts" don't even agree whether we have or not, so how could non-experts say definitively? And I don't think...

    AGW Grudge Match

    If one doesn't think anthropogenic manipulation of climate is possible and climate change can only be "natural" how would one recognise anything else even if it was caused by humans? I don't think it's possible for them to see it.

    The simplest great French Bread recipe

    I'll try running it through 2 cycles then. I think one cycle kneads it twice. I only knead it twice by hand, too, though.

    The simplest great French Bread recipe

    I went back to making bread by hand. I use the same amount of flour for 5 loaves as the breadmaker uses for 1-2 lb loaf. Needless to say, my bread is lighter and fluffier than the machine's. The machine is great for mixing cookie dough and stuff though. :) I use all-purpose flour, BTW, and found...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    And you haven't got any eyes that work. Cobalt was talking about pack ice so you post a graph about sea ice. lol

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Usually I find cartoons funny, but not this one. Oh, wait, it's not a cartoon, it's a map. I guess people may have to get used to eating jellyfish in their sushi rather than Bluefin tuna. But, who cares, right? As long as we have our McDonald's and Safeway. :)

    The "Bible Belts" in Canuckville

    There's one or two sources of hilarity in CanCon that refer to Alberta as the "Bible Belt" of Canada. I just thought I'd post the facts to dispel this myth. According to Stats Can (one of the sources of hilarity puts a lot of stock in stats even though he can't understand most of what they...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    So because Anglia screwed around means everyone else did, too. I see. Ok I'm easy. Call it SOP if you want. I hope it isn't going on much longer. If it does, our planet will be a helluva mess. But, I see even China has decided that the present rate of irresponsibility towards our planet needs to...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Personally I think the scam about global warming is a myth. The only scam is all the political hoopla that followed. I'm patient. I can wait for decades to see that warming is a reality and whether we had a hand in it. Currently it looks to me as if we did have a hand in the warming.
