Edit: BTW Martin. Just what scientific qualifications do you hold that allow you to sound off with such profundity ???

Another interesting site

I like their mission statement

The Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change was created to disseminate factual reports and sound commentary...

That does sound nice doesn't it. And it is a perfect example of how climate change skeptics manipulate you. They sound so reasonable if you look at that mission statement. And that site, it looks professional. And they got nice graphs on that site as well. And look, they even help teachers with performing interesting experiments in class. How could those guys possibly be irrational people who deny science.

And then you look a little closer and it turns out that they are in part funded by the oil industry and other climate skeptic groups, that everyone who works there are all climate skeptics with ties corporate mega lobbies such as the American Legislative Exchange Council. This is grade A manipulation. They appear to be reasonable, scientific, but in reality they are just a group employed by corporations to deny climate change and use that to prevent further environmental legislation by governments.

I don't think there is any way you could sound more bleeding sanctimonious.

Anyone who disagrees with the party line is decried by people like you as being funded by Big Oil, Big Coal or Big Whatever and therefore any statement they make is meaningless and worthless.

What a load of horse manure....

Do you honestly think that the Green lobby is socially and morally pure and pristine ?

Once again, the interests of the planet are playing second fiddle to commercial and political interests.

Do you think that the center of a black hole can be any denser than a Neutron Star ?

Note that is uniquely your view and your opinion and the drumbeat of the drums in your head.

...but it isn't. Others have told you this as well.

... My statements about your tactics are factually not ad-hom. Anyone going through any thread mentioning Windows/Linux can see for themselves.

The problem is that Martin tends to bash Windows while evangelizing Linux. He's not just highlighting the positives, he's proactively lambasting an OS that some people, myself included, rather enjoy using. However, I do not wish to silence Martin's opinions, rather point out that his evangelistic ways and some claims are rather biased and unbalanced. ...

For the first time, astronomers have directly measured how fast a black hole spins, clocking its rotation at nearly half the speed of light.

That's fast.

... \delta Q = \epsilon = \frac {hc}{\gamma} =\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34}J\cdot s * 3 \times 10^{8} m/s}{0.01 m}=2 \times 10^{-23} J multiplied by T = \frac{\epsilon}{\delta S} = \frac{2 \times 10^{-23}J}{70 \times 10^{-23}J/K} = \frac{1}{35} K whilst inserting oneself into the saucepan
= \delta S = \frac{\delta Q}{T}
thus explaining the WHOOSH. :)

... the underlying warming since the last Ice age and the documented warming since 1650 its obvious that the climate is warming with or without man made influences. I am not a denier either but see the evidence for what it is, without the hysteria. Are humans making things warmer, yes. To the degree the "warmists" say, probably not.

Just a personal note: I am a TOTAL ATHIEST.

The GWPF's 10 representatives included only one climate scientist – Professor Richard Lindzen, from Massachusetts Institute of Technology – described as "arguably the world's most eminent climate scientist".

A recent peer-reviewed study placed Lindzen's published work in the 3% of climate studies from the past 20 years that do not endorse human activity as the cause of global warming....

....and why does he not endorse it? Try, because it has not been proved that global warming is man-made. Since it's not been proved by now then one strongly suggests that it never will be proved.

... Fukushima was produced by a tsunami, with emergency Diesel generators flooded by incoming water...

Whats wrong with being a skeptic? I think thats a hell of a lot better position to be than a denialist. ...

Im a skeptic when it comes to claims that big foot is real, But I will keep an open mind.

Im leaning toward climate change, But Im still skecptical of all the claims made by some of the hacks out there. And that goes for both sides of the issue.

To me the dangerous people out there are the ones who dont even want to discuss the issue.

I think they can say what they want, but if they are given positions of authority they are downright dangerous and should be removed.

You wouldn't allow a doctor to continue practicing if they believed that illness was caused by bad humors and insisted on using leeches on everyone. Climate skeptics are far more dangerous.

I liked the proposal to from now on name Hurricanes after politicians that deny climate change. Time to create a mental link between those people and the devastation they bring.
