Actually Pixelsmith, although I find this to be another distraction and attempt at misdirection, I'd like to address the idea of Global Cooling and the canard put forth by denialist that science has waffled on the subject over recent decades. Actually, I'll let Tom Peterson, William Connolley &...

Thanks Bob. I think this is a good place to start. And so the question is, how do we know this? Since we weren't there recording temperature fluctuation, we really only have the fossil record to clue us in. And while most would think organic fossil, which do provide us with some insight and...

I'm not sure that I "win" anything here. And for someone who doesn't "give a damn", you've put way to much energy into this and other threads countering the pro-AGW/Science stance to make that a fair statement. So we agree, that the Earth is warming, right? And you really have know idea as to...

I suspect Bob, that your intentions here are not quite honest as you seem to think that poll results are somehow enlightening us as to the reality of AGW. The same with your link to an article on India's and China's reluctance to sign the Copenhagen agreement. Again, not really enlightening as...

This is what I am purposefully and methodically trying to do if given the chance. Using science. I think you are changing the parameters of this discussion Pixelsmith. This discussion is not about politics, what to do about AGW or how to save the planet. This discussion is to prove the...

These statements are the reason I joined this particular fray. And I would ask for clarification before proceeding. This thread is, by definition of the Pixelsmith, an Anti-Global Warming thread. The statement above, that science is not based on consensus and should include the scientific method...

Tom, I have no idea what to do about AGW. In this thread, it seems the position of most is that climate change is not occurring, or if it is, it is happening naturally. That is what I'm focusing on( at the moment). Bob, I appreciate the argument that science is falliible, to a point. I also...

Lets define "Atmosphere" so that we're all on the same page, ok? I'll use one of the definition's provided by Princetons Wordnet that I think best describes the meaning in the context of our discussion. atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding any celestial body) WordNet Search - 3.0 If...

Pixelsmith, The lecture given by Dr. Alley at the December meeting of the American Geophysical Union is as current as it gets, and it is science. As was the award given to him by the AGU just prior to his presentation. As I said, I expect you to provide, if we are to truly debate AGW, a...

I'll bite... I say there is plenty of scientific evidence that supports the fact that CO2 plays a significant role, which can be proven historically, in the climate of the Earth. This is a demonstrated scientific fact. I'll also take the position that humanities use of fossil fuels and through...

I suspect this to be the rule, rather than the exception. Towards the first part of CDB Bryan's 'Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind', Thomas "Eddie" Bullard reported that after studying some 300 plus cases, including those of Hopkins, Jacobs and Mack, a pattern emerged that seemed to indicate...

Just a hunch...

Great show. Much appreciation to one and all. More like this please. Ten bucks says Doug's current wife is of Scandinavian heritage.

Yeah funny. That said, I'm not sure that it's placement in this section of the forum was well thought out.

First, an apology to KellyC for my comments regarding her personal relationships and my apparently strong feelings regarding her "duty". After re-reading my comment, I don't feel it was my place to lecture her even though with my added caveat "I don't mean to lecture but...", that's what I was...

For those unfamiliar... "Kelly Cahill here, the lady in the video. I wish i could leave this behind me. Do you know how hard it is to live for 16 years with people questioning your honesty, integrity and sanity? i have met someone now whom I would like to be with. But am certain that as soon...

Oceanic anoxic events or anoxic events occur when the Earth's oceans become completely depleted of oxygen (O₂) below the surface levels. Although anoxic events have not happened for millions of years, the geological record shows that they happened many times in the past. Anoxic events...

I understand the experience with these particular entities was not your own Irish. You wrote earlier: This similarity is what I was trying to express. They "could not have known", and yet, they had a common experience. FWIW, I've taken a keen interest in this type over the years, and they are on...

I will share some truth with you, Irishseeker. I saw this being back in 1967. And it was the same for me as it was for you (and your relatives). When I saw this being depicted in the film "Communion", I knew without doubt that Mr. Strieber, and the story he told had truth within it as there was...
