Seriously... do you really expect us to believe you're a scientist? Are you that dumb?

If I had written (and had to defend) this drivel in my UNDERGRADUATE thesis, the Review Board would have laughed me out of the building.
However this guy had his published!
Jim Jones has also been published. Are you inferring that you blindly believe his word also? If so, I thinks there's some lots coming up for sale in Jonestown, Guyana

Poor eaglet. It must be frustrating to be wrong, but doubly so when everyone knows your wrong except you. It's called self delusional, but then again you won't even realize that if you that far gone
Facts that extraction - consumption = out venting - uptake= known to be made by man is a lie? You're joking right?
And there is a conspiracy and a scam behind that?

Sorry, I just don't believe you are a scientists or a prof at all.
I think you are having delusions of grandeur.
If you want to claim delusions....
So what is the conspiracy? This is what I want to know. Who? Where? How?

EagleSmack; FAILED...again [B said:
I guess that whole concept of tenured professor escapes you. Think of it as going to post secondary school in the US (such as Old Dominion) and then coming to Canada and getting refused admission to university based on lack of qualifications.
But then again, you would have had to gotten past grade 10.... eh eaglet
Not at all. There are only so many tenured spots and they are pretty much jobs for life. A friend of mine was an Asst. Prof. of Economics at the University of Maryland and there just wasn't a tenured spot for him. He taught there but once he completed that 4 years and there was not a spot he had to move on. He would have liked to stay in his current role but Higher Ed just doesn't work that way. He did not have tenure so he had to move on.
If I didn't get past 10th Grade, so you say, you should be ashamed that I consistently show you up each and every time without insulting you.
FAILED again Tyr.
Really?
You wrote: "What a simpleton you are Tyr."
You don't even know you're doing it do you?
.....and you wonder why others do it to you?
Come now you are smarter than that.
The guy called me Eaglet! :lol:
Perhaps I should have said "without calling you a name in this post"
Like I said... go back, if you want, and you will see it is Tyr that decided to bring it down to that level when I disagreed with him on GW.
Sorry, not a prof but you did say scientist right?
What kind?
Are you a climatologist?
Do you have a PHD?
If so, post your thesis, I'd like to read it.
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 advanced degree, a Masters degree at a minimum. This person will be employed in writing proposals for funding, designing experiments, analyzing results, writing up results in the relevant journal format and presenting them to peers.
I'm about to get my degree. At my school, you have to complete a 4th year project in a two course offering. Research methods I and II. We have to write proposals, literature reviews, and fully referenced theses. We have to complete an experiment, and write up that report, and present our findings at a conference. It's not a conference like say the AGU fall meeting, but it is in front of our peers (the Animal science and Aquaculture students and Profs), and we're marked on our performance, as well as the content of our investigation.
Some will also present their findings at a larger conference with representatives from all of the universities in Atlantic Canada. I will be doing this. My project was a little more advanced than the run of the mill project. I needed to complete a peer review form to go along with my proposal to the Animal Care and Use Committee. They reviewed my work to that point, assessed my evidence and the hypothesis and made suggestions. That helps make my science better, through better use of data, and better use of the animals.
Will I be a scientist when I graduate? No. Even if my advisor publishes my study, which he has told me he wants to do, that doesn't make me a scientist, again, not in my definition. Still, though I don't consider myself a scientist, I consider myself better equipped to understand scientific findings than the lay person.
I certainly know how to differentiate between simple things like climate and weather, noise and trend, significant findings and insignificant findings, and between working theories and a blathering diatribe posted from some uncontrolled location on the www.
That might seem trivial to some of you, but it's not.
