    No, you cannot say that from first hand experience since it isn't true. Tell me, why do you post lies on the Internet?

    1) No, we only need to look at births to validate the GP.

    2) You have no basis for your claims. The GP has - the trends.

    You fail at both statistics and factual knowledge. My guess would be that you have a racist agenda.

    A naïve model would've performed better. You cannot claim model validation if the null hypothesis holds.

    Just to state something that really should be obvious to anyone interested in the scientific method:

    It's trivial to create a model that can hindcast anything. It doesn't say anything about forecasting abilities.
    So far, all climate models have failed horrendously at forecasts. That doesn't say that they will continue to do so.

    Things, difficult.

  16. Re:Washing on Experiment Shows Not Washing Jeans for 15 Months is Disgusting But Safe · · Score: 2

    Feel free to actually research the topic before posting then. As to your specific skin condition that's completely beside the point. You're correct in that it's alleviated by removing oil from the skin but the norm is for the skin to _become_ rashed if oil is removed by excessive showering (see link below).

    Tell me, do you believe in evolution? If so, do you believe the human skin evolved under daily wash&soap conditions?

    Yes, and that short answer is scientifically unsound since it only takes TSI into account. That's only one of many ways the sun affects the earth, and was the whole reason for my previous post.

    No, science does not care whatsoever who funds the work as long as the paper is valid, supported by subsequent research and the hypothesis not falsified later on.

    I see you attack the messenger instead of the message. Myself I like science, so, can you refute the papers referenced by CO2 Science?

    If you can't you're just wasting everyone's time, and at the same time displaying your own ignorance as to how science works.

    After having thought about it, sorry. The point is to have a revelation yourself, me sending you links wouldn't be that much different of an experience from what you've got by reading reports.

    After having studied the Climategate files my own revelation was: Phil Jones is not a valid scientific source. Gavin/RC is not a valid scientific source. UAE is not a valid scientific source.

    Yours may of course differ, but it needs to be yours :)
