    The mystery of sunspots

    And what would need to happen to convince you it has? Anthony Watts posted it has begun, the website you've been posting from said it has begun, what consensus do you need? They spotted a sun spot with reversed polarity, and at high latitude. What other clues would one need to say a new cycle...

    The mystery of sunspots

    Do you ever read from that website Walter? The cycles actually overlap. It's not like the hockey season is over and you start playing golf, unless you're a Maple Leaf of course. Cycle 24 began in January by their accounts.

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Right.... Spotty evidence of warming, without any synchronism, and any warm anomalies happening during the time ranging from 800-1300 AD. That's solid stuff Extra. The evidence for warm times is not global, and nor do they coincide on the same time scales. Since you seem to know this so well...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    I agree there will be another ice age. I agree there have been past interglacials of about 12,000 years. The evidence is in the same place you're incorrectly using to infer that a new ice age is upon us. Why is it incorrect to assume as you are now? The same place that tells us that there have...

    I have Sanctus beat with this bit of news, holy crap!

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23595533/?GT1=43001 Woman sits on boyfriends toilet for so long, her skin grows around it. She had a phobia of leaving the bathroom. She was on the crapper for two years. She must have read the entire Uncle John's Bathroom Reading series. Let the deluge of toilet...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    You can go to GISS and use model E, or any of the other models they have there. You can download it, and the walk-through, and away you go. You can also use the software on their site.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    For all intents and purposes, it is, in comparison to geologic boundaries. It's not insignificant on our scales, which is the whole point. So, again I'll ask for that evidence, as I have a few times already. That's a pretty brave assumption. Do you know what the forcing was that caused the shift...

    Straight Talk Express, all talk, and not so straight?

    Don't mind the title, chosen purely for attention :lol:. I think he's probably the most devoted crusader against wasteful spending, but it seems in this case he's pulling a fast one. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=...eef-with-bears But, what's this? He actually voted for the bill, and...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    And some of them say the climate is warming, and some of them say carbon dioxide is part of the cause, and some of them think no warming at all from carbon dioxide, and some of them say there is no warming, and some of them think that any money spent on mitigation will be fruitless. The common...

    This thread is weird. The posts appear in triplicate.

    The mystery of sunspots

    What does your book say about them? Any mention of them? Probably not, because it's not a textbook. You're writing this nonsense in the Science & Environment sub-forum, from an antithetical source as far as science is concerned. Niflmir's explanation might as well be 100% compared to the...

    The mystery of sunspots

    It's really funny when someone uses a religious text as proof, and then decries science for not dealing in such certainties. Your own interpretations have been shown numerous times, in this Science & Environment sub-forum no less, to be anything but 100% factual. I happen to know that Niflmir...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    No, a second and an hour are units of time. Geologic time scales of course are made up of units of time, but they aren't differentiated by set time periods, they are unequal in their distribution of time. They are separated by events, mostly the arrival of new fossil assemblages. The time scales...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    The thrust was, Mann is commonly quoted by the "skeptics", but they have nothing to say about Oerlemans, Moberg, Huang, Esper, Jones, and many other proxy studies. The overwhelming finding of all these studies is that while the warming during medieval was noticeable, it was not as high as it is...
