Global Warming The debbil made me do it
"Dan Luke" wrote in message
I've already posted a list of the major professional scientific organizations which have issued position papers acknowledging the fact of anthropogenic climate change. Do you have an alternate list? *That* list is the consensus you speak of? Oh. Well. I *must* be wrong, then. I guess I could quickly compile a list of anti-AGW peers of your peers, but I seriously doubt the effort is worth it since you're so tied to your own belief system. -- John T http://sage1solutions.com/blogs/TknoFlyer http://sage1solutions.com/products NEW!

Another friend tried to beat a train on his and got smushed. They were *the* cool thing to have in my neighborhood. I yearned desperately for one but only got to ride on the back of a few. On the little rack or did your buds mount a buddy pad there? Mine only had one seat which was a PITA, but it probably wouldn;t have hauled tow up so well anyway. They are going for big bucks nowadays! Bertie |

These don't help you any more than usinghttp://junkscience.comwould help me convince you of the fallacy of your belief in AGW. Invalid comparison. junkscience is run by a lobbyist with a documented history of creating disinformation in the service of tobacco, chemical and oil corporations. Although Milloy frequently represents himself as an expert on scientific matters, he is not a scientist himself. He has never published original research in peer-reviewed scientific journals. You may disagree with the scientists on RealClimate, but their reputations in their profession are intact despite years of slander (against Mann, in particular) by people like Milloy. I'm learning more -- such as -- your guys are pure, unsullied by interests, while anyone who dares proffer contrary data must be a minion of the evil capitalists... IOW, you have no interest in learning anything but how to reinforce your postition. I admire your expertise in the resorting to the ad hominem argument. Bull****. OK, done for now. heading outside to chop down a tree and burn it for heat. Which will grow a new tree in time. Good start.. Bertie |

it's pretty obvious you won;t be convinced. Not until the data proves AGW is correct. I don't dispute recent increases in temperature, but I have not seen any conclusive link to human activity being the cause nor have I seen evidence the temperature changes are outside "normal" ranges. This is not some blind adherence to a pre-determined position nor is it succumbing to peer pressure (which your lame "idiot" reference attempts to accomplish). Take a look for yourself at the raw data for temperature reconstructions from NASA and other sources. Here's a good start: http://gcmd.nasa.gov/ (particularly the paleoclimate sets) I've been perusing this site and others for a few years now downloading and charting the data myself to see what the trends are. Frankly, in a historical sense, recent temperature changes are entirely within "normal" parameters for temperature reconstructions in both northern and southern hemispheres. The only temperature reconstructions that show alarming trends are those based on the data sets like Mann's famed "hockey stick" and those data sets have been questioned enough by his peers that I don't need to do so here. The fact remains: Current temperatures are well within the norm defined as the range of temperatures for the last 8,000 years. (Nice try with the distro expansion, BTW.) -- John T http://sage1solutions.com/blogs/TknoFlyer http://sage1solutions.com/products NEW!

Yep. That's how it works. Great system, eh? Yes, it is. Bertie OK.. story time... In July 1983 I was an Air Force NCO (sergeant) working 7 day/week12 hour night shifts (6 PM to 6 AM) helping stand-up the Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) for the 416 Bombardment Wing at Griffiss Air Force base in upstate NY. At the time the missile's fielding was in the news as the Soviets claimed it was "destabilizing" etc, etc. The ALCM was also an issue in Canadian politics as we (The US Air Force) used a test range in the Northwest territories which resembled Soviet terrain. For a variety of reasons, a group of Canadians marched from Canada down to Rome, NY to protest. After a shift the day was perfect -- sunny, warm, light breeze. I was sick of driving home, sleeping, getting up, and driving back, so on a lark I jumped in my blue Ford Escort and headed north. I was still in uniform when I came upon the marchers out in desolate stretch of backcountry road. I smiled and waved as I drove north as they marched south, but I don't think they knew who or what I was. Near the end of the line a few guys jumped the line and made me stop my car. When a few saw my uniform they scurried off, until half a dozen surrounded my car. I rolled the windows down and said, "So what's going on, eh?" (As background -- my mother's family is Canadian and I spent my first 5 years in Canada and every summer after that. This meant I had the twin cultural burdens of arrogance and guilt). A few shouted slogans and I just waved them off. One stayed near the passenger side window and had a cooler head. Soon we were in a deep discussion about the nature of war, the insanity of MAD, and the relative morality of Soviet and American empire. This went on for about 45 minutes, when it dawned on both of us that his group was now far, far down the road. "Hop in and I'll give you a ride back," says I. "Sure," says he and away we go, passing slow enough that everyone in the crowd could see one of their number being hauled away in a Blue Escort by a US Air Force NCO. I stopped at the head of the line and he got out. We shook hands and wished each other well while his cohorts looked on it stunned shock. I drove home and went to bed, thinking nothing more of it, until the next day when the Squadron First Sergeant said the CO heard about some rogue Airmen helping out the protesters (they later made it on base and threw some blood/red paint on the bone bird -- a B-52 hulk used for parts and lightly guarded). I borrowed my wife's car the next few days. Dan NY Times link: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...C0A9659482 60) |
