Don't bother. This is about the only thing tmosley posts over and over. He is absolutely fact resistant, preferring to wallow in his own ignorance which he manages to twist into preceived superiority and then, to top it off, into a persecution complex. You know, that world wide conspiracy of scientists hooked on the mythical "funding" being out for all of us.
Who cares, indeed. It is blindingly obvious by your posting history that you do indeed not care about how things actually work. Because, obviously, you are in possession of the truth already. Hint - we are not talking about daily variations. That would be a valid point if someone claimed that the CO2 increase leveled out day and night variations or did by now lead to a temperature change greater than circumdian variation. But that is so outrageously a strawman that even you won't bring it up. What matters is the long term change in average forcing. Which is why long term retention times matter.
Ah, I like it. It is actually a common rhetorical strategy employed by the spinmeisters. I have encountered it in the climatology as well as in the creationism "debate". You can't reproduce the whole system, therefor you can't do reproducible experiments, therefor you are not doing science. It is, of course, bullshit. The reality, of course, is that you propose a hypothesis - if A happens, I should be able to observe B. Then, in sciences like astronomy, geology, climatology and the like, you wait for A and see if B happens. There's a nice tool called statistics that allows you to discern to a given degree of certainty whether this is coincidence or not. If you want reproduction, you wait for A to happen again. Back to the drawing board, try to come up with a real argument next time.
He wants to eliminate any federal restrictions on those issues - freeing the states to go as nuts as they please. Sorry, Paul is kinda straightforward, and I gotta honor him for that, but the consequence of his politics will be worse repression than we have seen in the US ever before.
Yeah, Paul is quite a devious fuck. When it comes to vote "pro-Constitution" (as if it was holy scripture), he votes for gutting the feds - so that the states can finally set up the theocratic-fascist hellhole he would like to instate.
Projecting much? Around here, we call it hyperbole. A rhetorical tool. Lost on those who can't take any subtlety. Goat herders in comparison to the American war machine. And, for your info, no - I am no right winger, from your perspective, I am probably a couple of light years left from center. European, though, you got that right.
Get off that black and white thinking. There is a continuum - yes, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights sets a pretty agreeable basis for ethics. From a purely philosophical point of view, it is just axiomatic, though. Therefor, not absolute.
Since when does the statement that there is no philosophical basis for an absolute moral code translate into nihilism? Of course I do express a position. I just don't have the bloody hubris to claim that it is the one and only.
Good Lord, you think China is in on the plot of some goatherders that got you to your knees? Gotta nuke the goats, else China is getting uppity? Small tip - seek medical help. Not everyone is out to get you. Basically, everyone wants to be left alone by the likes of you. I hear we have decent medication to alleviate the symptoms of paranoia these days.
First of all, America starts wars, not your perceived enemies. Second, ignoring something as big as "9/11" would have shown that you have greatness, cojones, all what you would like to convince yourself that you possess. Doing what you did only showed that you are yappy little dogs that can be strung along as planned on the slightest provocation. My condolences to those affected, but the reaction to it showed what your government was - bullies with no perspective.
And what did you exact in the last 10 years? Except for pointless death, that is. In what humane sense has the world improved by American action in those years? You gained a slight geostrategic point with getting a foothold in the gulf, but that, too, is rather fleeting and pretty much offset by the hate it generated, by proving the Wahhabists' point in the end.
They were on a bloody military recon plane. If they can't work with TACAN and VOR/DME to get their position down to 1000 feet, they better find another job, to be honest.
No. It just signifies a lack of taking things earnest enough to do scientific work. Now, if you did it to make a point, that would be another case, but I can't take that from your account.
In what manner would you even restart a magnetosphere? I think we are a couple of orders of magnitude out of the realm of our current possibilities here.
The teabagger propaganda really got to you, didn't it? Strangle any sane spending, so that more cash can be funneled to the Koch brothers and the military. One of these days, try to think for yourself. You might actually enjoy the experience.
The dollar value against some arbitrary goods is a worthless measure. What counts is the individual purchasing power - which has been rising for a long time, until the systematic destruction of the middle class began.
So, does your training in "technology and power generation" include a 101 of professional twisting of facts? Top rate of renewables this year was 30 % in Germany. Without the upgrades planned for the next decade. We will happily export a wind/hydro/biogas/solar mix to the french in the summers when their nukes foul up because the rivers are to hot.
About the nuclear surplus - basically the whole nuclear baseload of Germany gets exported. Now why again should I endure that shit around here if it is just a means of government backed money printing for the energy corps - which, by the way, should never have been privatized.

Have the fourth-graders completely taken over slashdot by now? Is that all the rhetorical skill you can muster?

Good work. You realized that different substances have different absorption spectra. Now go and read up on atmospheric retention times.

True. I am no American, though - so I can only wish you good luck. Trying to do my part here, over the pond.
While you are right, what are you going to do about it? How do you get those who swallowed the propaganda for more than a decade now back?

Give me a moral relativist any day instead of some fuck who thinks he owns the "one and true morals". Those are the guys committing genocide.

Neither of those provide different services to both sides. Nice try, coward, but you gotta work on it.

Indeed.
