    Global warming: second thoughts of an environmentalist

    Glass house. Here's an interview Fritz gave to Der Spiegel: Breaking Global Warming Taboos: 'I Feel Duped on Climate Change' - SPIEGEL ONLINEThe long version of the IPCC report does mention natural causes of climate change, like the sun and oscillating ocean currents. But they no longer...

    North Carolina tries to outlaw climate models

    Yes, and NC has some low areas that could end up a meter below sea level. If they plan accordingly it's not so difficult. If they plan like dumb asses and ignore facts, well then they're just planning to fail.

    This summer may see first ice-free North Pole

    Hmm, funny how much has changed since April. The graph you posted updates Walt. Now well below 2007. Well below 2 standard deviations of the long-term average as well: Ice area dipping as well:

    Is the United States Actually Getting Warmer?

    They do. Good graphs are just depictions of the data. When you have a huge data set it can be difficult to make sense of any interesting trends the data is showing. If you're talking about changes over time, it's important to be able to see how the variable of interest changes over time...

    Is the United States Actually Getting Warmer?

    That's called...weather. If you document the time of those events over many years, decades, then you're talking climate. Your assertion that there is no pattern in Eureka's long term temperature records is plainly wrong.

    Is the United States Actually Getting Warmer?

    Yes...it only gets cold in winter and warm in summer at the end of that time series. When you were a kid there was no such thing as summer and winter... Ridiculous. You may not be blind, but you ought to get those eyes checked. Those are yearly averages.

    Is the United States Actually Getting Warmer?

    No pattern at all? Well the mish mash of data you presented contains all sorts of different types of data. If you weren't so down on graphical representation of the data, you might actually be able to see a pattern. Here's the Eureka station data from 1947 to present: You would have to be...

    New research: insights into causes of Autism

    Some interesting research out this week supports a hypothesis that was recently proposed for idiopathic Autism, which in laymen's terms refers to a genetic predisposition towards Autism of an individual and an unknown environmental trigger. Not all Autism has unknown causes, which is an...

    Truancy, anyone know of any laws for this in Canada?

    So I just happened across this story from Houston, and I was wondering if there are any laws like this in Canada still? Maybe some local laws, or some provincial ones? Maybe there are some truancy laws and you just never hear of it? I read it and thought WTF? The laws the law, but it seems a...

    Epic Anti-Global Warming Monologue

    What's the publication? For your information, I'm 30, and work at a big pharmaceutical company. The reports I write don't get published in journals, but they do get peer reviewed. The last one was the best set of efficacy data my director has ever seen, in his words. The first time I was peer...

    Epic Anti-Global Warming Monologue

    So, you can see infrared radiation trapped by gases? I ran into someone at university one evening who claimed similar things. Then he muttered something about brain slugs. Umm yes. A warming planet means rising seas. You can see the effect, but apparently not the cause. The great thing about...

    Can you see the difference between 1 and 3 watts from on top of your Cat? You move dirt. Some people study climate. Big difference.

    The data do not agree with you: http://denverclimatestudygroup.com/OTHER-MISC/ArcticCoolingScience200909041236.pdf I'll paste the abstract:The temperature history of the first millennium C.E. is sparsely documented, especially in the Arctic. We present a synthesis of decadally resolved proxy...

    Epic Anti-Global Warming Monologue

    Thanks for posting it again, I missed some hypocrisy over the feigned outrage in my first post addressing Levant's nonsense. A writer for Forbes magazine, a magazine that calls itself a 'capitalist tool' recently wrote that if a skeptics home burns down... we shouldn't send the fire...

    Epic Anti-Global Warming Monologue

    No it doesn't. The radiative impact of water vapour doesn't conflict with the radiative impact of carbon dioxide. That's ridiculous! If you add 1% more water vapour to the atmosphere, it's just going to come back out as precipitation. The equilibrium will be less than two weeks. What part of...

    Epic Anti-Global Warming Monologue

    From irrigation? I'm supposed to take your word on it? After the bungle you dropped about scientists and where they work? :lol: Nope; I trust your word about as much as I trust politicians. To say, not very much at all.
