No, you got involved when I was discussing something with another poster who asked a sensible question.

What does that have to do with what I said to CM?

Next? Care to explain this?

We recognize that cycles exist when the proper analysis shows that they exist. There are plenty of climatologists out there who have studied cycles and pseudo-cyclic behaviour in the climate system. They use tools like Fourier Analysis. What they don't do is eyeball a chart. There's no...

Alabama 'Teabagger' Brian Downing sentenced to two years for Bourbon Street Prank He’s known to most people as the ‘Bama Teabagger, but his name is Brian Downing and he’s 33 years old. It was video shot on a cell phone camera that got him into trouble after Alabama beat LSU in the BCS...

Seen any of those Alaskan dinosaurs lately? The comparison is meaningless for biological responses today to today's changing conditions. :roll:

Yeah... Notice how the spikes in all of those points and valleys don't appear to be getting any farther or lower above the red line. Those are called residuals. There isn't any evidence that the trend has changed ES. Of course the line is gong to go up and down...that's expected behaviour...

Good question. Longer time series are better for seeing the trend. A longer time series would not however give any more credibility to the assertion that global warming has stopped, or that we're entering a cooling phase. That's the whole point of that graphic I posted. The point is that there...

1998 is the classic cherry pick and one of the zombie talking points for the so-called skeptic hucksters. There is nothing scientifically defensible about picking 1998, as the above graphic should make abundantly clear.

Oh, another denier that has confused what the Laws of Thermodynamics actually say...the first law states that under conditions of equilibrum, the rate of energy coming into the system is equal to the rate of energy leaving. Trapping radiation reduces the rate of energy leaving. This is perfectly...

How does one become a CEO when you are a complete idiot? Maybe he went to a Donald Trump seminar...Here's the comments:Seat belts on airplanes are useless. That was the latest rant by Michael O’Leary, the chief executive for RyanAir, the ultra-low-cost airline based in Ireland. O’Leary, who...

Does this sound familiar? A quantitative prediction is inconvenient for some heavily invested folks. Legitimate questions about methodology morph quickly into accusations that the researchers have put their thumb on the scale and that they are simply making their awkward predictions to...

Yikes, this won't help the ballooning costs of healthcare: By Stephen Adams, Medical Correspondent 10:00PM GMT 01 Nov 2012 Many hospitals have failed to invest in...

Here's some strange news... Found in a meth house in Colorado were files on 23 conservative candidates for Montana state legislature. The files consisted of surveys and mailers, as well as some finance details, with one folder labelled "Montana $ Bomb." The documents pointed to one outside...

In fact, only one state high-temperature record has been broken in the last fifteen years, that in Ft. Pierre, South Dakota in 2006. High-temperature records for 23 of our 50 states date back to the decade of the 1930s, during worst-ever U.S. droughts in the period termed the “dust bowl.”...

Yeah, a cherry picked start date certainly is telling... The trend leading up to Rose's cherry picked interval: And extrapolating the trend up to the end of Rose's interval: Hmm, imagine that. At the end of the time series the value lands almost precisely on the extrapolated trend line...

Specifically, if you buy something made in a different country, can you sell it in America? Everything from iPhones to textbooks could be illegal to sell if you don't first acquire the permission of the copyright holder of something made in China for example. The case surrounds the first-sale...

I know, I laughed :lol: It requires careful dosing. They need to have accurate measurements of the pH and river flows, or yes it could be disastrous, or ineffective.

:lol: Yeah, don't think Alka Seltzer makes enough to apply to the entire global ocean. Norway limes rivers with 50,000 tonnes of calcite to combat acid rain, and that costs about $20 million a year. Works well for some salmon rivers during the critical periods like for smolt runs. Pretty...

Hmm, wonder if they have any ideas on how to avoid the continued acidification of the oceans?
