The 'proof' of AGW (and I use that word proof very loosely) is incidental and secondary ay best.

You want to believe in it on a faith basis, great - fill your boots, just don't jam it down my throat


What does AGW stand for?
I really don't know and it is causing me to not understand you post.

You're preaching to the choir here Sal... I fully agree with what you have stated, especially in that the parents/legal guardians have made a specific choice to send their children through the Separate system.

Regrettably, you have a vocal minority that do not want any form of choice in the matter... They choose not to incorporate religion or spirituality in their lives (which is just fine by me), but in doing so, are demanding that others be forced to adopt their mores and values.

Ridiculous doe not even come close to describing this logic
I actually wouldn't have a problem with any religion separating their schooling as long as they can prove that they can compete on an academic level. The Catholic system can and does. And the argument that it's about money is bogus...the Catholic system gets the same amount per student as the public system and if you send your kid to the Catholic school you merely redirect your taxes...no different.

The 'A' refers to anthropogenic, meaning human-caused warming.

Without getting deep into the issue, while it makes perfect sense that human activity (or any animal for that matter) can impact the climate, the actual effects (in my opinion) are so minute when compared to the natural, cyclical patterns that they basically don't exist

PS - I consider discussions relative to AGW and GW being virtually the same

ETA:If we end up with a graph in this thread, I'm a gunna thump ya! ;)

How about pie charts... I know you love pie

What about the sun intensity increase cycle thingy? Still AGW?

BTW, Mmmm, pie.

Again, we are on the same page here and in my eyes, your commentary is bang-on.

That said, trying to understand the rationale of the kick-back against the Separate system in SF is baffling

it's about money...the more kids, the more money....the kids are a commodity

school is big business...if only we could get the schools to run a little more like a business we would be all set

Somebody can, so they did? Trending now in the Twitterverse/Facebok world is the belief that every single detail of every single individual is so very, very important and they must be heard!!!

It's not and they probably shouldn't, but try telling them that.

This is where a lot of the divide exists between the 'deniers' and the environmentalists (the guys like Suzuki).

Solar inputs are an example of a natural mechanism that impacts the system. I for one believe it to be a significant contributor, but some schools of thought, namely the hard-core environmental groups, seek to ignore that solar input(s) and attribute all (or most) warming to human related emissions and activities.

I look at the many cycles of continental glaciation that the Earth has experienced (long before man was around) as proof-positive that the natural cycles can be extreme and that the pendulum swings to both ends of the spectrum

and herein lies the answer

they are respecting the rights of the teachers and students...teachers applied to work in a Catholic Board...they have to have a recommendation from a priest

students need to be Catholic OR their parents sign off saying they are choosing a Catholic school and are aware of the teachings that take place therein

problem solved
Or the cult could move out of San Fran. If they elect to practice there then do it the way San Fran wants.

That is all well and fine, but legislating that 'sentiment' is a notion that becomes super ridiculous.

It's like giving every kid that runs in a race a medal for participating while at the same time denigrating the one kid that won the race.

Totally counter productive

why? what makes San Fran's stand more correct than the schools...if you could show me that part I'd be willing to examine it, so far it sounds illogical

What's next?.. Ban the color purple because council doesn't like purple?

Now you're getting the idea, lol. School trustees are elected, but nobody knows who the hell they are because nobody pays much attention until they do boneheaded things. They can and often do tend to be very elitist.

Ya, I know all that but one must be AGW and the other GW. By definition really. If it's the sun causing it then how could it be AGW?

The debate is over and the science is settled. So keep the GW research money flowing unchecked.

Wow... where can we begin with this!


You believe cities can dictate what private institutions teach or they can be kicked out?

To test out Google search results, I googled myself. I found 4,250 pages of results. The first three were about me but by the 4th page, some irrelevant stuff started to show up. By the 6th, there was nothing about me. You should try searching yourself on the google. You might be surprised.
