    Death knell for AGW

    Damned 'skeptics' can't even keep their stories straight. Temperature rises are supposed to precede increasing carbon dioxide concentrations by 800-1000 years. 1400 to the late 1800's where carbon dioxide begins to rise is only 400 years... Ah well, when you don't have real hypothesis tests...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    No, we absolutely can say that humans have contributed to warming the planet. We can say this because we know things like the radiative properties of molecules that are opaque at various wavelengths, due to their rotation, vibration, and vibro-rotational states. We can say this also, because we...

    What qualifies one to be a scientist? Depending on whom you ask, you'll probably get a different answer. For my money, a scientist is any researcher who publishes their findings. Not publish on the internet, but in a quality controlled fashion, the "peer review". Typically, this means an...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    I clearly in that post made the distinction for those who don't know, the differences between weather and climate. You can choose to take that for what it's worth. I don't think you can be convinced otherwise on what the differences are. I doubt it. But you won't. Or hold your breath til mommy...

    It fits my purposes fine. It shows that temperature at the earth's surface is very noisy. If you want me to explain my point another way, lets try a simple example. The trend now is about 0.17 degrees per decade. The trend for rolling a seven with two dice over time would be 0.1667, pretty much...

    No, and it's not really relevant to whether the earth is warming or not. Surely you can use Google? How did you find the article in the first place? He talks now about things happening that he hasn't published. Try google scholar, read the abstracts.

    May cool, he said may cool, and because it happened before... And if you search his publication record, you won't find him saying that at all. That, you should be skeptical of.
