No. The point as Zzarchov and others have said is that on these different planets, the causal relationship with their respective climate change is different. Three different causes on Earth, Mars and Jupiter. The same effect. There is more than one way to warm a planet. I'm not kidding. All...

Umm, yes, it is your argument turned around. Do you not remember saying this: So, greenhouse gases are not a common rising factor to all planets, so it can't be the reason that other planets are warming. Can you not see the connection? You say the anthropogenic greenhouse effect isn't common...

So, tell us how Martian dust is increasing temperatures here on this planet. If you can tell us that, then maybe try to explain some of the observed phenomena that has accompanied our changing climate.

I don't really like either of them. They may be different graphs, but it's the same kind of data , or rather the graph Zzarchov used was all of the Antarctica samples, not only the Vostok core samples, so in fact it's a better set of data. Do you understand how the graphic presentation...

So, now the strength of empirical evidence is dependent on time passed since the discovery of heat trapping molecules? Just because something changes, and we now measure it changing, doesn't mean that the cause is the same. You're conflating cause with effect. Seriously, that's about as logical...

Some nice little stats missing the point, but it's not the conversion of fuels into heat here on Earth that is the problem, it's the trapping of heat from that little ball of fire that is the problem. By the time the hot gases reach the photosphere, the energy has been reabsorbed and re-emitted...

That's true. Buyer beware ;) Forgot to add a tried and true method, boiling water, lol.

Ahh, I remember the first time I cooked prime rib. She melted right in front of me. Was a very good evening/morning! :D

Many of the purification tablets contain available chlorine, and many also contain flocculants which will enhance the disinfection. The benefit of having filters, such as the regular activated carbon in the Brita filter, is that they will help reduce the turbidity. In the end, the more choices...

This reminds me of a topic I ponder from time to time. Say some catastrophe befalls humanity. A true calamity that wipes out 99% of humans. What expertise would we have left to rebuild, assuming that basic survival skills allows us to regain some sort of meaningful means of sustenance, and...

That's good. Stale water does get gross. Maybe get some things like water purification tablets. Or the water filters that you can get at MEC.

That's a good idea Karrie. I'm pretty sure that many government agencies advise that we should have these stores for all sorts of "what ifs." Droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires, power outages, severe winter weather, the list is long. I personally have no such stock. I...

IBD practicing their trademark yellow journalism. What rubbish.

Yes, it is really Cycle 24.

It's only April still, but this is the time when the first forecasts for the hurricane season come out. They will be refined in the coming months, as historically, April forecasts have about the same skill as Maggie the monkey from the NHL predictions made at TSN, perhaps even worse. Dr. Jeff...

Pushing the bounds of ethics. A couple in Port Coquitlam BC is having another baby, in the hopes that stem cells taken from the umbilical cord might save their 8 year old son from leukemia. The couple calls this baby a 'saviour baby', in the hopes that pre-screening IVF embryos--a process...

Right, so if you follow the links from Watts--who himself posted when the first cycle 24 spot appeared--they mention the first sunspot from cycle 24 appearing in January and they link to SOHO who confirmed the first sunspot of cycle 24. A high latitude sunspot with reversed polarity. So, again...

Ahh, industry hacks. Quackery at it's finest. Story here

On this forum, and some others I visit, there has been some confusion over the hierarchy of the scientific terminology, and how they differ from common usage of the words. Not all lay people are confused by this system, but some are. Things like "just a theory" are used in the common usage to...
