Re: Ice Age on the Way!

You're the only one who seems to be making it useless & aggravating. Well, I suppose I am too by even responding to your nonsense. I think most people here have sincerely held views and would like...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

Because I already have . . . many, many times. And yet you keep doing it, which is why I think it's deliberate in order to stifle discussion. Can't your assertions stand on their own without...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

Same old us vs. them, divisive labeling, putting people you know nothing about into categories, believing you're smarter and therefore know what's good for everyone else. And you still don't...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

This was directed at L-E, the thread king of putting words in other peoples' mouths (see post #236). If you feel I've done that in your case, I don't want to leave that impression so please correct...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

In other threads this has been framed as the "Precautionary Principle" (or something like that) and there's nothing wrong with it, certainly in the abstract. The devil's in the details, however, and...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

You make dubious if not bogus assumptions & then attempt an argument based on them (see 1-3 below). You constantly use strawmen and/or distort other peoples' posts. It's a level of discourse about...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

Your attempt to walk your rhetoric back is transparently bogus, if not laughable. I was mistaken that I could have rational discussions with you, and we could eventually agree to disagree. You're...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

That's really quite sad, and also far more dangerous to society as a whole than MMGW, in my opinion. It's not the liberalism or progressivism I personally grew up around, and really anathema to...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

C) Better educated and therefore taught the folly of false stereotyping
D) Old enough to understand there can be no such thing as a Denier of scientific theories that haven't reached a reasonable...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

So much for the "marketplace of ideas." :frown: OK, within reason that is. But if you're suggesting another one of these bogus analogies we often hear that's used to support the "certainty" of...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

I think we'd be better off doing what is realistic, but also accepting & adapting to what "is." As opposed to fighting about what's "just right."

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

True, but not always or necessarily a question of money, but rather what is being taught. Whether you approve of our particular form of democracy or not (with all its pros & cons), it doesn't seem...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

I'm holding out hope for Third Day, assuming he's out on parole (again) that is. Ken is good, but TD really has a knack for exposing those amongst us who take themselves way too seriously. :smile:

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

As you rightly pointed out in another thread, it's winter for many of us. And as Newhaul has been kindly warning us, it's gonna be a cold one! :wink:

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

Democracy is entirely dependent on an educated public. An educated public has the ability to recognize their own biases, and thus be aware of the potential for deception based on the interest group...

Regardless of where anyone stands -- or thinks they stand -- on the actual "scientific" issues, this post gets to the essence of what's dividing people on the overall issue better than most that I've...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

Sorry, but I haven't seen much "scientific method" being applied in these almost purely political threads masquerading as discussions about "science." If questioning "science" can bring about such...

That's just the predominant nature of our species. Learn to deal with it or continue being hateful & unhappy.

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

Everyone has bias to a greater or lesser degree, and it's only natural to telegraph it. It's only a negative when it so overwhelms that objectivity becomes compromised. If you're aware of the...

Your critique may or may not be justified, but Conachair's post seemed to show that the Daily Mail rendition got it right in this...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

Or maybe these "specialists" who, as the article Newhaul cited from the Curry blog pointed out, got it wrong about their level of "certainty" -- i.e. margin of error -- over measuring ocean warming. ...

Re: Ice Age on the Way!

Newhaul beat me to the punch on correcting your misrepresentation of how he has represented the cooling temps over the past few years and as shown in the UAH (sat data) graph. In climatology a trend...
