    Vancouver Island river runs neon green!

    YouTube - Goldstream's Green River Any of our BC posters heard of this? It's a suspected prank, as a fountain in Langford became neon green around the same time. Victoria Times Colonist quotes Dan Gilmore, a spokesman for BC Environment Ministry:Fluorescein is a synthetic organic compound...

    It's the Sun, Stupid.

    [/INDENT] Turns out I was wrong. See where Easterbrook labeled this chart as years before present (2000 AD) ? I had earlier stated that the ice core only goes to 95 years before present, and that this graph is pure misrepresentation by Easterbrook as the data only commences 95 years ago. But in...

    House Republicans siding with polluters over healthy American lungs

    Apparently the Democrats will have to defend the EPA, the George HW Bush era amended Clean Air Act, and most importantly the health of Americans from polluter friendly House Republicans this session. The GOP is framing it this way: Apparently ignoring that the EPA has historically taken time...

    It's the Sun, Stupid.

    Re: It's the Sun, Stupi You're working backwards if you think this proves causation. Not terribly surprising. More nonsense. This kind of logic leads one to claim that the cost of damage from a fire is dependent on the number of fire fighters fighting said fire. A variable is missing, and when...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Oh, when in history has any species attempted to stop a climate from changing? I must have missed that history class. Of course it will. But nobody is serious about ending climate change forever-or rather no serious person thinks that is a worthy or attainable goal...people are serious about...

    Re: It's the Sun, Stupi Discrete categories can be related without being applicable to specific phenomenon associated with others. If we follow your logic, then your mere existence alone explains why banks act the way you say they do.

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Ever heard that nonsense about "they changed the name to climate change" from the so-called skeptics? It's a load of bunk in a few ways, the main being that climate change and global warming are not the same thing. Second, who is they, and when did they change it? Google algorithms find that...

    Re: It's the Sun, Stupi No, the product of your imagination is the importance and the applicability of those fields to unrelated phenomenon.

    What to do about global warming

    Really though, spend money to make a dirty form of energy less dirty, or spend money to make clean energy more efficient and to engage economies of scale...not really a difficult choice. How do you clean up an energy source that is gathered by blowing up mountains and in-filling valleys and...

    And the ones publishing science textbooks, and funding science...ghastly!

    It's the Sun, Stupid.

    You've uncritically swallowed junk science, that's how. Radiation from the sun hits the earth, and warms the surface. The warmed surface heats the parcel of air above it. Warmed air rises because it is less dense than the cold air. The atmosphere is largely a fluid after all. The condensing...

    Ahh, the master of circular nonsense. Adiabtic processes are the result of a change in pressure. You and your electric universe crap. You'll latch onto anything that isn't mainstream, no matter how hair-brained the idea, and no matter how poor the evidence. Predictable beaver.

    Nonsense. Explain adiabatic cooling with electricity.

    It's the Sun, Stupid.

    I can...which post would you like me to quote where you think a greenhouse gas violates the laws of thermodynamics? Or how about when you ignore the laws of thermodynamics by insisting that adiabatic and convective processes have no role whatsoever in cloud height or formation. The proof is in...

    It's the Sun, Stupid.

    Climate science, it's data, and methods are arguably more open than any other branch of science. You do nothing in here but spout big lies...the sun, the electric cosmos, and a mangled view of thermodynamics.

    It's called convection. It's the same thing that keeps a glider up in the air for extended periods of time. So, do you have an answer for how they can rank todays Greenland temperature using the GISP2 data, when there is no station at 72 degrees 36 minutes N, 38 degrees 30 minutes W, and when...

    It's the Sun, Stupid.

    Where's the data for the last 95 years? There's no station data from the ice sheet where the ice core data comes from, and new snow layers are too contaminated, so the ice cores have nothing for the past 95 years. Easterbrook's analysis is a farce, not surprising that the so-called skeptics...

    So why don't you find out for yourself? Wherever you found the freshwater flux into the Hudson Bay, use the whole database. Look at the degree of correlation to temperatures in North Eastern Canada and over in the UK. That would be a decent start. But in the end you have to separate signal, if...
