  1. Re:Green... EPIC FAILURE on "Green" Ice Resurfacing Machines Fail In Vancouver · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Real scientists will laugh at you for claiming CO2 is an issue,

    Where can I read their papers? If they are real scientists they must have published their findings, right?

    I'll see your enlightened video link and raise you one.

    Sorry, but videos made by people that fabricated their data and misquoted scientists in a fraudulent way don't impress me much. They even tried to sue the misquoted scientist with the notorious UK libel laws after he complained, great way to react to criticism...

    Just go watch the video I linked and the other ones in the series, they do a great job of explaining many common climate myth, both from the skeptics side as well as the believers. And if you have any info explaining the errors in the video I linked I would love to read them.

    Oh I know, the guys that resigned their positions at the IPCC are still credited by the IPCC as belonging to the 2500 scientists. I mean clearly the guys in the video I linked to are idiots, I mean, who the hell would listen to multiple university professors anyway right? Let alone the countless sources they referenced in the interviews.

    I too found it humorous that the one professor had to sue the IPCC to get his name removed from their list after they refused to present his findings (which were contrary to their position that AGW is real), and tried to claim he supported their lies.

    The percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is currently measured to be 0.038%. A staggering 0.28% of that is directly attributable to human beings. I can keep this up as long and probably longer than you can...

    It's really a shame that people believe politics over science.

    You are confusing "green marketing" with science. The first one happens to be full of crap, but well, what do you expect from marketing? That however doesn't make the issue they peddle to a non-issue, climate scientist will tell you quite the opposite, CO2 is an issue and current evidence points to a man made climate change, go watch this and educate yourself.

    Real scientists will laugh at you for claiming CO2 is an issue, as the oceans and volcanoes emit several orders of magnitude more CO2 than humans ever could. I'll see your enlightened video link and raise you one.

    Ice core samples have shown that temperature increases first, then CO2 levels rise in response.

    The Great Climate Change Swindle

    The 1/2 of a degree Celsius change that started a little over 100 years ago mostly occurred before much of the modern CO2 emitting manufacturing plants ever existed. How anyone can argue against science and claim we are DOOOOOOOOOOMED is beyond me, and I generally treat such individuals as mentally handicapped.

    The terms green and CO2 are being tossed around as blatant lies to convince people to spend more to get the the same, or in cases like this, to get nothing at all.

    It's really a shame that people believe politics over science. It makes me a cynic. Someone obviously decided to buy these "green" ice resurfacing machines because it made them feel like they were doing "their part" to help the environment. The problem is they were sold a lie. Not only were they sold a lie, but a non-functioning lie as well.

    Seriously people, CO2 emissions are nothing to be afraid of. CO2 emissions are nothing you should be paying extra to decrease. The fact is that the CO2 that humans put into the atmosphere is infinitesimal compared to volcanoes and the oceans.

    Forget about hips or knees (which are amazingly well suited for walking upright, by the way). Look at male nipples. There is nothing intelligent or "by design" about it. Unless we are talking about a very incompetent designer.

    The pairing of X and Y chromosomes is interesting. I imagine that during the pairing the code goes through some interesting polymorphism determined by the pair type. I would also put money on nipple code being stored in both X and Y chromosomes for redundancy. I'd guess a lot of our base code (code *required* to procreate) is redundant between chromosomes.

    Redundancy is good.

    That's not correct at all. If the BBC said that, then they are wrong.

    The information came from an Indian scientist, reported be New Scientist. No it should not be use as an example of the effects of Global Warming, but it in no way invalidates the science. By the way the people claiming this isn't true are also basing that on a non peer reviewed paper.

    See, it's a tad more complex then a simpleton like you can conceive, so you have broken it down to a boolean thinking.

    SO tell me, after you read the IPCC which, specifically, part of the science is 'SHITE"? You have read it, right? No? STFU

    History is history because it took place in the past. The past is unchangeable, and thus, re-writing history is the same as lying. In this case I would call the people re-writing the history of our once great country's politics one thing: tyrannical. Their motivations are clearly oppressive.

    Everyone in the US should know that it's completely legal to kill tyrants. Everyone should know that it's their responsibility. The more we let the tyrants do this to us, the less we deserve the rights to freedom and liberty that they are stealing from us.

    The other day we discussed what sounds like similar research by a group of scientists at Tohoku University; that team did not produce transistors, however.

    Surely that is some sort of joke. From the summary of the Tokyo University article:

    A new paper entitled Epitaxial Graphene on Silicon toward Graphene-Silicon Fusion Electronics published by a group of physicists at Tohoku University in Japan has demonstrated that they can grow graphene on a silicon substrate and pair that technique with conventional lithography to create a graphene-on-silicon field effect transistor.

    Not to mention that article is a myriad of highly moderated comments admonishing the staleness of graphene on silicon transistors.

    From reading what you quoted, it's not certain that Tohoku produced anything, at least not a graphene transistor. They did however demonstrate that they can grow graphene on a silicon substrate, and that they can pair that technique with conventional lithography to create a graphene-on-silicon field effect transistor. It's just not clear that they did create a graphene transistor, or at least anything comparable to what IBM apparently is producing.
