    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    1. Al Gore is not a scientist. 2. The cooling in Antarctica requires a scientific explanation, and is predicted by even the oldest climate models.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    So, in other words, you're relying on someone else interpretting what that study is, and what it says. If you don't have journal access at a library, you can still find quite a few of these articles online for free. Here's the paper, from Crikey - Political news, US Election news, business...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Can you think of any reason why starting your trend with a strong El Nino, and ending with a strong La Nina, is not a valid method to analyze any trend? Maybe if you went from strong El Nino to strong El Nino, then that might be better, but even still, the time frame you've chosen is too small...

    Methane emissions from tundra faster than expected

    Methane, Potent Greenhouse Gas, Flowing Into The Atmosphere From Tundra Much Faster Than Expected ScienceDaily (Dec. 11, 2008) — Much more methane gas is being emitted into the atmosphere from the tundra in northeast Greenland than previous studies...

    Scientists hope treaty can mitigate climate change

    You may have seen the radiation calculations before. I thought you might want to see some of the other information as well. Modified, removed, yes...that's standard science. Hypothesize, form a methodology to test the hypothesis, test it, analyze results, modify hypothesis. Pretty standard...

    Scientists hope treaty can mitigate climate change

    Have you even read the IPCC reports Praxius? If you haven't, then you ought to start there for your assertions of missing proof. If that's too long for you, try something like these links: Basic Radiation Calculations The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect Roger Revelle's Discovery So, take...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    No, I just showed you a picture where the sun doesn't drastically spike. It goes up and down, quite regularly. That picture was to show you that the sun doesn't really behave as chaotically as you suggest. It is still bound by statistical measures... What 30 year lows? The changes in the solar...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    You're the one who said low pH. Low pH is considerably lower than a neutral pH. And in that case it would kill almost all ocean life. So, maybe you want to rephrase your question? I didn't suggest the release of carbon by dead life forms could wipe out a majority of ocean creatures. I said...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    It would wipe out the majority of species in the oceans. What you are doubting is that species evolved to an alkaline environment (the ocean pH is currently around 8.3) would die in a low pH environment, what's low to you? 6? 5? 4? They would die. There's no doubting that. The only things that...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Yes, they have. And they have been able to project the changes. The waters of Antarctica have been projected to be free of aragonite by 2050. By 2100 that situtation has moved into the Southern ocean. They haven't accounted for everything of course. In fact, in some areas, the rate appears to...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Even if Tyndall's experiments were wrong, that wouldn't mean there is no purpose for regulation of carbon emissions. What do you know about ocean acidification? What do you know of aragonite? There's plenty of reasons besides the fact that it's vibro-rotational molecular state of excitement...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    It's called standard deviation. You can measure trends in things, in this case the trends are called Schwabe and Hale cycles. You can program a model with boundary conditions set by standard deviations, confidence intervals, etc. Then you initialize the model at some point, maybe it's 1950, and...

    Expanding Earth Theory

    There is subduction. It's measured by geochemistry and transport of cosmogenic isotopes. It's measured using GPS. Why do you think there should only be one mechanism? If you know anything about the history of science, you know that it's often mixtures of ideas that all contain some element of...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Do you even know how scientists declare conclusions? They aren't at all hasty, nor are they against any evidence. That is the antithesis of a scientific conclusion. You haven't read much science, have you?

    So, then your original comment pertains to non-consensus, which would mean your corollary also pertains to the non-consensus today. I agree with your choice of the word quacks! Very nice. :-P
