    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Yah, why are you so mad at Obama? In case it wasn't obvious enough, I was poking a bit of fun at your overuse of that meme. Responding to something doesn't mean someone is mad. Don't be so sensitive.

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Any other memes besides the mad thing? Or should I ask what Obama did to you? Steal your candy? Bang your girl? :lol: Yes, well that is exactly what I just said.... hence the comparison to Birthers and Truthers. Yeah, sure. But there's a reason that happens, some people just want to ignore...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    And those for whom no amount of evidence will ever be enough. Like Birthers, and Truthers. You could try investigating for yourself, though it will probably take a little longer than cutting and pasting something from your favourite blog or aggregator.

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    This may have escaped your notice, even though Les has mentioned it already, but it wasn't Bloomberg who called the story a load of BS. Why on earth would I want to contact a reporter or editor from Bloomberg about something they never printed? The Bloomberg report did a good job of explaining...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    A steaming hot load of BS...hmm I guess we can now look to weasel zippers for contemporary findings and evidence? :lol: The probability of an event exceeding 3 standard deviations is such that we should only expect 13 such events in 10,000. Instead, the distribution is now skewed. From 2006 to...

    New study shows half of the global warming in the USA is artificial

    Well, after a read of the unpublished manuscript, I've found a couple problems. The first is that this paper is comparing NCDC homogenized data, that is data that has been processed to amongst other things remove the influence of the shoddy stations that Watts et al. have described, but also to...

    This summer may see first ice-free North Pole

    Freezing yes, melting no...the 24 hours of light in the summer has to do with the melting. I thought you've been there?

    This summer may see first ice-free North Pole

    And why would it make a difference if you are flying over salt water or fresh water? By the way, it's not a graph. Graphs have axes. It's called a map, I'm surprised you couldn't recognize the shapes on it...

    This summer may see first ice-free North Pole

    If there is no salt water, then Arctic char wouldn't need physiological adaptations to survive their summer migrations out into the salt water. It's called osmoregulation. The Arctic char like other anadromous salmonids drink sea water and excrete the chloide ions via active transportation...

    There is a prize available for anyone who can determine why it works in some cases and not in others: Why does hot water freeze faster than cold water?

    This summer may see first ice-free North Pole

    Well, there's a huge difference between putting warm water in a unit with refridgeration and a set point than there is with warm water in the Arctic. When you put warm water in the freezer it raises the temperature inside the freezer above the set point, and then the refridgeration kicks in...

    Height works too. All sorts of analogies if one pauses and thinks about it...some may need to pause longer. Hopefully not so long that they forget what they were thinking about :lol:

    In the same way that your body weight can be stable, but over the course of your life it changed a great deal. Durp.

    No, but you said ever...ever is a long time Things freeze at 0°... I never have ignored that fact.

    This summer may see first ice-free North Pole

    That's a foolish thing to say. The climate on our planet was once stable with no ice at the poles.

    Suess effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yes, a large fraction actually. A small fraction of the yearly flux, a large fraction of the total increase over the past 200 years or so.
