I assert that unadulterated water will boil at 212 degrees F at sea level.
I do not ask people to show that it doesn't boil and therefore disproving my hypothesis. I prove that to be true by putting a pot of water on a stove and heating it to 212 degrees at sea level and observing it boil.
I cannot say that since no one has shown my hypothesis to false, that it is therefore true, and just skip the experiment altogether.
This is why the majority of the braying you see on Slashdot is about carbon trading and other restrictions and government schemes. Not to mention just plain nuclear phobia.
I think you haven't been paying attention. If there were more people that held your opinion we'd be well on the way to solving this "problem" instead of constantly arguing about it.
the credentials of most of the petitioners are found to be pretty lacking.
How do you know this? You are familiar with what these people have been pursuing in their post astronaut careers? I'm not and neither are you. All you see is that they are "not climate scientists" and you stop there.
A predictable canard run out every time someone doesn't want to look at the data.
Of course, 99.999999999999999999999999% of the people on Slashdot don't have the background to fully understand any of the stuff either side slings back and forth.
But at least the skeptics point to places where those who do have the back ground make cogent comments and observations. As oppose to you and your friends who simply shout "Oil and Coal! I'm not looking lalalalal!"
Actually, I've pretty much only have seen the vitriol spewing forth with idiocy from the usual race baiting crowd. Most reasonable, thinking people have remained silent on the issue, waiting for the wheels to turn.
That all these "services" are part of a protection racket?
"Oh...having DDOS problems? Just sign up with our service and we can help you out."
While not as crude as burning down building, DDOS attacks are a perfect persuader to grow your business.
I figure this is half tin foil hat and half probably real, given the things organized crime has been into in the past. It's perfect actually, you don't have to hurt people, the attacks can't be traced and your "protection" can be fine tuned to avoid looking suspicious.
Just so I understand, you disagree with me saying that Governments, not the "people" will be the cause of a world wide crash because they are spending uncontrollably by stating that in Greece, the problem is government corruption, mismanagement and excess government borrowing?
So you are arguing Peak Oil? Or Peak this or that?
Fool. The only thing causing poverty and shortages in this world is governments.
Prime Example: Zimbabwe, a former food exporter and economic powerhouse brought to its knees in the name of Leftist ideals with the full support of progressives.
The only "energy scarcity" is that caused by the government getting in the way of the Energy producers.
We now know that Obama's infamous shut down of Gulf Drilling, which he claimed was supported by a report from a panel of experts, was instead the product of political appointees who inserted the rational for such a shut down into the report without the knowledge of the experts they cite. Those same experts later disavowed the supporting statements.

What is the boiling pot of water for AGW?

James Hansen also advocates for more nuclear power, and in particular fast breeder reactors.
But I suspect most of the folks on Slashdot would strenuously object to that.
You don't understand what you are reading.
You are assert that man is causing global warming because there is no proof that he is not.
I am telling you that you cannot prove man is not causing it. You can only prove that man is.
You cannot prove a negative. And, BTW, THAT is settled science.
What does physics and Astronomy have to do with atmospheric chemistry?
Do you know know which prominent advocate for AGW holds these degrees and only these degrees?
the credentials of most of the petitioners are found to be pretty lacking.
How do you know this? You are familiar with what these people have been pursuing in their post astronaut careers? I'm not and neither are you. All you see is that they are "not climate scientists" and you stop there.
The Scientific Method never, ever, ever proves anything false.
Perhaps you could point to a paper that Proves "global warming" true?
Hint: Proving it true doesn't not include rigged computer models and manipulated proxy data.

Nice
Really, really fast porn downloads.
And the videos of women being buried up to their chests and stoned...that was all ketchup I guess.
Hillary Rosen specifically.
Don't forget get being beating, raped and even murdered with the tacit approval of the society and the law.

Why do you say Brownsville is backwards? Have you ever been there?
I suspect not. Just another AC who thinks he's smarter than others, but too much of a pussy to post under his real ID.
Brownsville and the rest of South Texas is populated by normal, hard working people.
I have to say, Slashdot comments are much more fun when they take place before American college students wake up.
Annoyingly we haven't had an attack since
What a coincidence eh?

You should seek help.
But parasites can't be pinned on Humans so it's no worth mentioning.
...how many nuclear plants we could have built in 30 years. Too bad Hansen didn't start advocating for nuclear power instead of more government power.
Just so I understand, you disagree with me saying that Governments, not the "people" will be the cause of a world wide crash because they are spending uncontrollably by stating that in Greece, the problem is government corruption, mismanagement and excess government borrowing?
Not going to get an argument from me.

In short, the Administration lied.
