Jim, grandma’s advice: man has 2 ears and one mouth – should listen twice as much as talks. Can you take an advice?: You talk about GLOBAL warming of 2-5degrees. Did those people that educated you;...

Stefan, I think you have a lot in common with Lubos Motl. Maybe you can go over to his blog and try to convince him of your theory.

In my personal week, I discovered that Lynn Margulis, a noted biologist, died last month. I used to read her in "CoEvolution Quarterly." As a young scientist Margulis presented the maverick theory that...

WebHub, you are hallucinating again. The earth is not warmer than the moon by 33degrees because of CO2 and water vapour; as brainwashing goes. But because is of many kilometres thick layer of Oxygen +...

Chief, Web can be a little bit of a cynical H. L. Menken type. And I note that he likes to pontificate on areas he knows little about. And then there is the fact that no one can check his credentials...

Jim, Actually, the cutoff man is an IR absorbing molecule. The atmosphere is the air/path of the ball from CF to home plate. The balls are horse hide covered IR photons. And yes the CF is going to get...

Eli Rabbet, you are changing the frequency again. I didn’t talk about fraking gas of old methane. New methane is produced together with other substances b] same as H2O molecule attaches itself to dust...

Montford, It looks like you are agreeing with lots of people but want to be argumentative. I said upfront that most of the pipeline work has been in place and being used. Conventional oil from places...

Don, interesting challenge. I would explain it this way. The tropospheric temperature is not proportional to the number of balls fielded by the cut-off man, but proportional to the CF temperature. This...

The cooling would occur when the cut-off man runs into a deficit, as he wants to throw his balls at the same rate, while the CF only throws his when the surface is warm. The analogy fails when the...

Edim, How can scientists see they are incorrect when they do NOT want to know. Staying ignorant is safe for their funding and careers. Not to mention of the bias of the publishing field nor the media...

The judge is called free elections and when the people decide something, anything, then it is completely irrelevant whether some Oreskes likes it or not. So if “the people” decide in free elections...

I don’t agree with the opinion in the op-ed. Then again, I think that Michael’s question is valid. Is the situation different here because there is more scientific agreement over climate change than...

Beesaman - Would you mind elaborating as to why you see the situations as categorically different?

Chief Hydrologist insists on writing this in multiple comments: There is an energy equilibria of sorts at the top of th atmosphere - dS/dt = Ein – Eout – where dS/dt is the change in planetary heat...
View ArticleComment on Open-mindedness is the wrong(?) approach by Norm Kalmanovitch
In science openmindedness is of value as long as it is not contradicted by fact. The fact that global warming ended by 1998 and the fact that the world has been in fact cooling since 2002 trumps any...

Michael - The same obfuscation as from Oreskes. Cancer = not-very-good-news. - Not disputed. Warmer climate = ineffable disaster - product of fevered imagination + very much disputed See the difference?
