    Naturally I assume you of course call android by the name Linux as well.

  2. Re:Yeah... on 97% of Climate Science Papers Agree Global Warming Is Man-made · · Score: 1

    Firstly, if someone has legitimate scientific criticisms there is peer review for a reason; random speculation on a blog is worth little, particularly considering it's quote-mining from an unspecified "leaked" source without context (the blog is clearly trying to make a mountain out of a molehill).

    Climatology is not solely about global warming, so that is whether the neutral option comes in.

  4. Re:Yeah... on 97% of Climate Science Papers Agree Global Warming Is Man-made · · Score: 1

    There's a "don't know" option as well. Of those people that ventured a discernible opinion 97% agree that global warming is man made.

    That comment you link to is nonsensical, it claims there wasn't a "I do know: This paper has nothing to say about AGW." option, and yet there was, the neutral option. This is just pedantry to try and pick holes into something ideologically unpleasant. The majority of climatologists don't agree with denialists; get over it.

    And where did you learn about these purported predictions? Generally denialists seem to base their opinions of scientists from the newspapers, the same newspapers with a history of picking minority opinions and aggrandizing them to "Scientists think that ..." type messages. Now, show evidence of a dire prediction published in a peer reviewed journal that has not come to fruition; put up or shut up.

  7. Re:Yeah... on 97% of Climate Science Papers Agree Global Warming Is Man-made · · Score: 3, Insightful

    at some point 97% of climatologists didn't believe in global warming, and now they do. Did you see what I did there.

  9. Re:Global Warming is true, and deadly .. on "Dramatic Decline" Warning For Plants and Animals · · Score: 1

    So what if journalists don't talk about other sources than CO2, they have been factored in by the actual scientists, and that's what matters. Whether or not they have good PR is besides the point.

    "In my eyes ...". Science isn't subjective, the opinion of your eyes is worth nothing.

    Only 4 times as likely to be murdered and that is somehow hailed as a good thing.

    Oh I see, your little anecdote defeats scientific studies. Is that how it works?

    Renewable energies of this sort also require expensive energy storage like pumped storage hydroelectricity

    Sorry, but why would I be counting someone having a heart attack? Are you seriously contending that radiation causes heart attacks?

    Despite your post, noone has died at Fukushima from radiation. Compare that to coal.

  18. Are you suggesting that people didn't know not to do things to people that they wouldn't like other people to do to them until some guy pointed it out?

    Look at the links before commenting. The patents in the US also include multiple continuations. That is why several have the exact same titles.

    Actually, Microsoft sued them (so that the Judge would declare a royalty fee, rather than through negotiation) over the patents that Motorola holds.

    As far as I'm aware licensing agreements aren't an admission that the patents are valid in any way.

    There was condemnation from the pulpit. The Catholic church in Northern Ireland was traditionally anti-republican. Republicans in Northern Ireland may have been mostly (but certainly not exclusively) Catholic, but it doesn't mean they did what they did because of that.
