    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    So I'm going to assume that you didn't read the actual article that WRM wrote. It's a nonsense diatribe about policy proposals, yet in no way does it critically analyze the effects of such proposals, nor does he offer any alternatives. Instead, it's more garbage about building credibility in the...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    So, he probably knows about the science indicating the health impacts of smoking cigarettes, but he still smokes anyways. Curious, he doesn't actually propose any policies. Then he bangs on about the IPCC process. Folks like Walter will still be disagreeing with the established fact after...

    No. All I'm saying is that adding carbon dioxide in the amounts we are to the atmosphere will have that effect. That's from established science. No, I'm not saying that at all... all the oceans of the world are exposed to increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide. The oceans are holding...

    Co-workers. If you can't figure that out, then you have bigger problems than you remedial science comprehension. Are you trying to be ironic on purpose? I'm not the one who thought it was impossible that increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will warm the planet, and can increase ocean...

    Maybe, people at work don't have any issues, my fiance doesn't either. Maybe you're the problem here. No $hit. Yet I give you satellite measurements, ground measurements, spectroscopic, isotopic evidence that the enhanced greenhouse is very real, and very much a product of man's combustion...

    You're hopeless....carbon stored in geologic formations is natural, and removed from the cycle between the biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere...an energy imbalance is the difference between the energy entering the Earth system, and the energy leaving the Earth system....more...

    Our cooling world

    What do you think? Our activities are taking stored carbon, which has been removed from the carbon cycle for millions of years, and putting it into the system again. For starters. Yeah, but that's not answering the question, can you answer the question? The question is: What sort of...

    Our cooling world

    That increasing the opacity of our atmosphere to infrared radiation is causing the planet warm. So then, since you seem to have some kind of insight, why don't you lay out what sort of understanding is needed to say that our burning of fossil fuels is resulting in more carbon dioxide in our...

    No, I don't. That's a bald faced lie. I've never said such a thing. Nobody in science aims to have a definitive answer, because having a definitive answer is not possible. Having a probable cause is what scientists look for, and when you have multiple probable causes, you can separate further...

    ....shocker...you don't even watch it, but you already think you know what it is. He's talking about recent advances in scientific literature. You continually ask inane questions about explaining the past ice ages, where there is no anthro component.

    Our cooling world

    There used to be a lack of evidence linking carbon dioxide and past climate changes. Used to. That's why it's a talking point that is still parroted. But it's simply wrong. As more data comes in, there is increasing concordance between carbon dioxide and the climate. Events which used to stick...

    You really need to watch that presentation of Richard Alley's. The "magic bullet" as it were agrees incredibly well in the past. Watch and learn.

    What to do about global warming

    Extra's voice of reason, calls for a carbon tax, and says that investments now will have global warming mitigated by the end of the century, using current and in the pipeline technology. Huh, what a groundbreaking idea... :lol: Bjørn Lomborg: $100bn a year needed to fight climate change |...

    Federal Income tax is regressive, not progressive

    Please forgive the lengthy cut and paste, but I don't think I could condense this material much without losing too much of the context. Federal Taxation of Labour Income in Canada is Regressive (in Terms of Marginal Rates) Or at least, it is for some ranges of...

    No...there was lots of ice back then. They didn't have open water to steam through. Amundsen had planned in advance that it would take multiple years.
