I wouldn't at all say that it won't be handled by the same systems and the same fashions. But, the systems that adjust to these changes are slow time scales. You're talking about geology here...millions and millions of years. I've used this example many times, but we're increasing the...

Yes, and theories only become theories after countless repetition, and consistent results are found with different methodology. A theory is robust. It's a pet peeve of mine when people refer to theories in the diminished capacity of a police inspector developing a theory for who committed a...

Yes, exactly. Cause and effect. Releasing those greenhouse gases from those ancient deposits of hydrocarbons will have the effect of warming our planet, and changing the climate.

Climate change is normal, again that is not at all controversial. In fact that's where many of the estimates of climate sensitivity have come from. The geologic record. That doesn't mean that climate change can't be caused by humans. That's a logical fallacy. You're missing a premise. The...

No, I'm saying I don't trust the numbers you provided without some sort of evidence.

Oh I don't know about that. University researchers publish more, for certain. The research a company like mine works on isn't published, because it's proprietary business information. Militaries doesn't publish much of their R&D, because it has national security implications. I have no idea...

That's not really a controversial claim at all. Why do you think that would invalidate radiative physics?

Hah! You deleted the bunch of text you just posted...which said: That's a far cry from saying 56% of all scientists are employed by the military. :lol:

You don't need it, I do because I'm not in the habit of believing something just because someone says so. But you're not exactly accustomed to providing evidence for your claims. I didn't actually expect you to post a link, thought I would ask anyways though.

Petros says horizon. That I've heard of.

And you have a link for that specific claim, right?

Ahh, and those skeptical get a free pass on having all the facts? I'd like to know who is out there who does have all the facts. That's utopian nonsense. Nobody has all the facts. No, I have no idea what a rock stringer is. It wasn't mentioned in my geology classes.

Again, having a degree doesn't mean someone is a scientist. A degree is a certificate of training. A scientist is a role. Can you provide anymore context than that? Is that a figure for government employees? Sounds like malarky.

Having a degree doesn't make someone a scientist. What is their job role as your boss? Is it to conduct research, or manage you and resources? Becoming a manager is definitely in the career path for scientists. The resource managers in my company all used to be scientists. It's a logical...

Almost 100,000 worldwide. Where did you find that figure?

Over $50 billion in sales last year. Have you read a published scientific paper recently? Look at the author affiliations. Most published work is carried out by university researchers. That is the real world...

This might have escaped you, but there are no dinosaurs walking the planet. I read this research a few weeks ago. It's interesting as a proof of concept. No you didn't. My comment was high level, if you're going to include specifics then you left out a lot of other important factors. None of...

Just wrong. They wouldn't write it down in a proposal like that, but the experiments they plan to run are designed to test their hypothesis. Sometimes they are looking for evidence or proof that supports the position. Other times they are looking for evidence or proof that falsifies a...

Yes, but why? Your personal opinion can't explain why, you're stating what happens. Scientists examine the why, the how, the when. It does no good to simply state this has happened before. You can point to any number of natural phenomena on earth that humans can alter, magnify, reduce, or even...

There's some really funny nonsense being peddled by Levant. Like this: Beating the drum for big government solutions? Sure. There's lots of that. What's funny about that? The reason that is so predominant is because the other loud folks, simply deny what the science literature is producing. They...
