    who invented "beg the question" anyway? honestly. it's stupid.

    we have this ability to assemble and understand complex sentences out of simple words. we don't have to have a dictionary entry for every phrase. if you want to strongarm an ordinary looking phrase with a new/special meaning, good luck, sometime it works, sometime it doesn't. when it doesn't, the invention sucks, the innate language wins.

    you forget how difficult it is to type English. you need to remember how to spell out thousands of English words each containing many letters. Typing thousands of Chinese characters is basically of the same complexity.

    "We're at a very favorable state right now for increased glaciation," says Kutzbach. "Nature is favoring it at this time in orbital cycles, and if humans weren't in the picture it would probably be happening today."

    Importantly, the new research underscores the key role of greenhouse gases in influencing Earth's climate. Whereas decreasing greenhouse gases in the past helped initiate glaciations, the early agricultural and recent industrial increases in greenhouse gases may be forestalling them, say Kutzbach and Vavrus.

    Every time if possible, GWers(including Hansen himself) will quote singular small events to prove their point. Whenever it is inconvenient to do so, they'll ignore the event as insignificant statistical fluctuation. Including, the insignificant fact of a ten-year cooling trend.

    And yes, I just heard someone on TV crediting Global Warming for snows in Houston and Las Vegas. He is just a TV host, but you see what this has become.

    It's almost as if GWers never heard of something called "falsifiability".
