This is pretty illogical. I believe that poverty is a problem too, and I'm sure most people who do believe as I do won't donate 100% of their salary to alleviate poverty. There is such a thing called pragmatism. I have a car because I am required to travel for work. I am not required to car...

Exactly. This situation is @nalogous to some people getting excited when they lose a quarter of a pound after a bowel movement. Never mind that they've been taking in more calories than they've been burning for the last couple years.

Hmm, they could only quote one scientist who claims the Earth is cooling...I've seen some people playing fast and loose with statistics, to get the time interval needed to say that global warming has stopped, i.e. trend statistically the same as zero. Haven't even seen those charlatans claim...

Actually, the majority of sea level rise is thermal expansion of the oceans. Heat up water and it expands. The next biggest contributor is on-land melting of ice. But even if the glaciers weren't receding, and ice caps were stable in mass, the ocean could and would still rise.

You couldn't prove to me that a glass in front of you doesn't contain orange juice? If you believe that popular phrase, that you can't prove a negative, it should stand to reason that we can't prove a positive either. It seems to be the case that many people who believe that you cannot prove a...

All it took was a few seconds, and it's caught on video. A man hunt is on now. (CBS) HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Officials in Garland County, Ark. say they are searching for a man who was caught on video escaping jail by jumping a counter and sliding out a window, CBS affiliate KTHV reports. Officials...

"Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after...

Bad timing for folks in the energy business. The substance is the inky black colour of oil, and the treetops are brown. Across a broad expanse of northern Alberta muskeg, the landscape is dead. It has been poisoned by a huge spill of 9.5 million litres of toxic waste from an oil and gas...

Ahh, now you're adding more variables. So obviously, it's not a situation where there is the reason. So let's leave out the older established regions. Australia isn't exactly old world is it? Yet Canada, again has more people. Why do you think the comment only applies to you? I never said...

As opposed to claims like yours which can be shown to be false? Then knock yourself and check out the satellite datasets run by skeptical scientists like Dr. Roy Spencer. The conclusion is the same, your assertion of the 2012-13 winter and 2013 spring temperatures being the coldest in decades is...

This winter was warmer than last two...coldstream, why do you post such obvious nonsense? Do you really not know better?

It's ironic? The debate from the risk side is that we need technologies to reduce our output of greenhouse gases. Inventors need to work with what we have don't they? I don't think that makes it ironic. I don't think anyone has ever said that there would be one silver bullet- a technology to...

Not all aerosols persist for three years or more. Suffice it to say, acid does not qualify as nothing when it comes to points such as geoengineering like Mowich mentioned. Whether the aerosols come from man or a geologic process, the effect of like for like is the same.

Acid is something...aerosols of sulfuric acid are potent reflectors of sunlight. Major volcanoes can cover the globe with these aerosols and can reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the surface for years. Mount Pinatubo reduced the insolation at Earth's surface by roughly 10%. That caused the...

Yet Russia with more comparable seasonal weather to Canada has a population of what, about 145 million? Is Russia special in that people didn't have warmer countries to choose to live in? I think not. What about Australia? Pretty warm, but they have a lower population than we do. The reason...

Yes, many watts come in, and fewer go out. As I said, none have been able to explain that without an anthropogenically enhanced greenhouse effect, including you.

It's easy to dismiss such simple and over-reaching analogies. Much harder-none thus far have managed-to explain why the top of the atmosphere energy imbalance exists and persists without an anthropogenically enhanced greenhouse effect. Certainly a dumb 23 year old quote won't make such a...

I'd agree with someone quoted in the article. If true, this is pretty abhorrent stuff. Multiple agencies, including the Los Angeles city attorney's office, are investigating whether Rawson-Neal Psychiatric Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada's primary public mental health facility, has been...

That's a good article. I'm kind of surprised to see a couple of the boards AGW deniers don't have beefs with it. It's mainstream stuff.

Glad you agree that it debunked you. That makes my work here finished! :lol:
