    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    What's your point? The domesticated horse has 32 chromosomes, and the donkey has 31. They can breed, but the mule or hinny is sterile. The domesticated horse can mate with the wild Przewalski horse which has 33 chromosomes, and the offspring are fertile. Global warming is one problem. It's...

    Death knell for AGW

    Maybe you'd like an explanation of that drawing from the artist who inked it. plognark.com. Actually you probably wouldn't like it. :-P

    Death knell for AGW

    You lecturing on science and faith is pretty damned ironic. I get a burning feeling every time I read your posts...

    Death knell for AGW

    Says the person who doesn't understand elementary stats or science...that's funny. Repeating yourself doesn't make your assertions correct. Models are based on science, and are only as good as the underlying science. They don't rely solely on correlations, but as I said already, the causation...

    Death knell for AGW

    So, for those not paying attention, ahem Scotty, here's why the goal posts have moved. We know it's not carbon, or greenhouse gases because the only evidence is correlation (according to Scotty). And because correlation isn't evidence says Scotty, it's only coincidence because you need to show...

    Did anyone else see those goal posts move like that? Swoosh! :roll:

    Death knell for AGW

    And what does that have to do with your correlation mumblings? It has been demonstrated that there is a causative effect. More heat trapping gases means more heat trapped. How much it has caused is still debated, and suffice it to say your assertions don't cover the spectrum of possible...

    Death knell for AGW

    Ignoring your ignorance of what statistics are actually involved with attribution studies, even the correlation works marginally in this case, because it has been shown that carbon dioxide traps heat from escaping a closed system. The vibrational, rotational and vibro-rotational state of the...

    Liberal candidate house ransacked in broad daylight

    I actually saw the cops at her place last night taking photographs. She lives across the road, and I dated her daughter a few years ago. http://www.trurodaily.com/index.cfm?sid=176413&sc=68

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Think about it as a conspiracy theory? :lol: An awful lot of people involved in that conspiracy theory, which kind of disqualifies it as a conspiracy theory. That trumps the foolishness of the 9/11 truthers...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Not really. Evolution doesn't normally produce a new species that is significantly different. Most times it's only minor difference. The significance of new species comes from how those minor changes allow them to cope with different parameters. But significantly different, no. Not until you're...

    Kingsnorth 6...jury aqcuits Greenpeace activists

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/sep/10/activists.carbonemissions So, that's kinda surprising. The first time such a defense has worked, not sure if it's the first time it's been tried. No doubt the testimony of Hansen helped sway the jurors. So, Hansen's webpage has the testimony he...

    Leftover Recipes

    Apply Cheez-whiz liberally to a slice of bread. Place roast beef on it. Salt and pepper to taste. Put another slice on top. Enjoy. LOL, so not much of a recipe. But that's what I do with left-overs from most roasts. Chicken and turkey I don't add anything but salt and pepper, and occasionally...

    The hurricane may start as a sandstorm.

    Neither one of those links implicated dust storms. They said, the same as I did, that hurricanes start from thunderstorms. Sand storms are not thunder storms. Did you not read the articles you linked to? A quote: Starting in the dessert, as you put it, is false. The storms which become...

    The hurricane may start as a sandstorm.

    I say so, because I know better. A hurricane forms from a low pressure system that is already rotating. Warm moist air is sucked up into the thunder head. The tropical depression is evident by at least one closed isobar. As it moves across warmer waters, it sucks up more moist warm air and...

    The hurricane may start as a sandstorm.

    What's that new sub-forum? Alternate theories and hypotheses? Or is it pseudo-science something-or-other? Anyway, that's where this belongs. Edit: And part 2
