    The GW model is a great model. It has made prediction what bore out, and has pointed us to some previously unknown climate events.

    If by wrong you mean, not exactly in the middle of error bars, then yes. But that's stupid and shows a complete ignorance of what a model is.

    You do know all those papers have been thoroughly shot down by actual science, right?
    First read up on the man:

    The man thinks the sun is causing climate change. While the sun does have an impact on climate, the suns activity bears no correlation with current trends. Not in out put, not in impact of the upper most atmosphere, non at all.

    Either he is another person talking outside their expertise and looking foolish, or he does it to sell his papers. Either way he is a horrible person.

    Properly disposed of and it won't need to be guarded at all.

    We could build power station the burn the waste to create more energy with a serious reduction in half-life. But no, idiots like you who are afraid of science and engineering will raise a stink. I mean, if we reduce the waste so it returns to background radiation level in 200-500 years, what would you whine about? You might actually have to read and learn something! Nothing is more dangerous to your bias and narrative the education.

    I like how you continuously make shit up out of whole cloth to try and get people to support your bias and think you personal narrative has any meaning what so ever.

    Sorry, I'm to familiar with people. a the EPA. How they get more responsibility, but not an increase in budget to meet the new responsibility. Then the people that don't give them the money to do what they ask(pubs) go to the media and whine the EPA doesn't work.

    You are basically the bitch of the pub controlled media, falling for the typical pub MO. Take funding away until something breaks, then blame the agency.

    But hey, lets go back to burning river, drive animals into extinction, throwing DDT into the air. That was fun.

    Bullshit.
    Get rid of the private contractors. They ahve been fucking the clean up, and becasue the media loves to stir up shit about the goverment, it always bounces back to a government agency.

    The contractor should be removed, and sued into nonexistence.
    We SHOULD create a new agency SPECIFICALLY for nuclear clean up. Hell, all nuclear power should be removed from private contractors and be government run. The solves nearly all the money issue. The agency set to build and run the plants should be an agency onto itself. This way it isn't regulating it self, and having an agency for building and running, one for design regulation and compliance and a third for wast disposal compliance

  10. Since there both only setting, so what.

  11. 1) Maybe, maybe not. Its a start to determine the mechanize. You need so sort of plausibility first.

    2) irrelevant, and underline your lack of understanding of evolution and nature.

    3) nature doesn't want anything. it does what it dos, and we tell it to fuck off, were going to hurtle people to the moon.

    Don't anthropomorphise nature, she hates it:)

    What, were you thinking of programming books? bah, mostly worhtless for your career.
    Understanding people? that is how you make it.

    I used to be all about the programming books. I write solid, clean code. I use small methods, functions., etc. I wrote some really good code, did some amazing things with very limited memory.
    None of that gets you dick in the long run.

    Career and business wise, understanding how to deal with people, and how a good team works is the way to get ahead.

    If I had read those books when I was twenty, I would have retired by 45. Instead I work endless hours to craft some high quality code when I could have written something mediocre and gone home on time.
    Seriously no one would know or care.
