The science drove the unbeleivers out. That's how science works.
You don't get to question Einstein just because. The more evidence for the prevailing theory piles up, the greater the burden of proof you must overcome in order to overturn the consensus. You don't have the automatic right to considered just as valid just because you have the ability to say "well, i think it's....". You need a damn good pile of data to back you up.
and right now, the cranks have diddly squat.
I thought Einstein was the guy who said "You don't need a consensus to disprove a theory, you just need one person" or something close to it.
2. CO2 traps heat (experiments showing that are all over the internet.)
Any "experiment" about CO2 "trapping" heat, you see on the internet will vary from amusing naiveté, to blatant fraud like the Al Gore/Bill Nye demonstration; they will all be wrong.
Do enlighten us - please link to an example of "sketchy science" that has been proved wrong by more solid, peer-reviewed science.
Strangely, all the examples I can find just support the consensus view.
How does 95 different climate models, returning 95 different results, all of which fail to approximate real-world data support a consensus view, and what does a consensus have to do with science in the first place? Here's a clue, if you want me to make an effort to reduce my "carbon footprint" and spend more of my hard earned money to achieve the same, don't hide your supporting original research behind a paywall. I'm not convinced by the interpretations of a Journalism Major that graduated from a liberal arts college in matters of real science, most of those dwebes couldn't pass a real laboratory science class if their lives depended on it; let's see what Journalists have to say after they've passed Calc I &II, DifEq, Stats and a Physics class!
I did read the Press Release and found an interesting reference to the fear of an impending ice-age back in the '70s
The authors dug up historical data to show that the cooling in the three decades between 1945 to 1975 – which caused people to worry about the start of an Ice Age – was during a cooling phase. (It was thought to have been caused by air pollution.) Earlier records in Central England show the 40- to 70-year cycle goes back centuries, and other records show it has existed for millennia.
Changes in Atlantic Ocean circulation historically meant roughly 30 warmer years followed by 30 cooler years.
seems like that means that all of the Warmists who claimed that fear of an ice age during the 1970's was denialist propaganda, are either incompetent researchers or bald-faced liars. Oh by the way if you want to know more about the 30/60 year quasi-periodic warming and cooling cycles due to the ADO and PDO, ther is tons of info over at WattsUpWithThat to get you started.
The flaw is your visualizing a universe and imagining something inside exploding, rather than nothing exploding into something. For the most part, the human mind can't understand that shit, it's all jabberwocky
Twas bryllyg, and ye slythy toves Did gyre and gymble in ye wabe: All mimsy were ye borogoves; And ye mome raths outgrabe. Jabberwocky
Maybe the radical fringe in the Democratic party doesn't count anything as "environmental initiative" unless it is narsisitic grandious exhibitionism and the moderates in both party find themselves putting more effort into keeping the fringes from scuttling any posible consensus than they do solve real demonstrable problems.
For example FTA,
"It is now apparent there are either unidentified industrial leakages, large emissions from contaminated sites, or unknown CCl4 sources."
how many Eco-activists are going to automatically assume that it's "unidentified industrial leakages" from evil one-percenter corporations, vs. those wondering if salt in seawater, natural organic chemicals and high energy photons may be cause a previously unrecognised chemical reaction? Even odder, we have no evidence that there ever was no hole in the ozone, so how do we decide how much is anthropgenic and how much is natural variation and how much is always was?
So your saying Republicans want to limit their business opertunites and for go their investments in existing gerenation capacity and transmission infrastructure because they are racist? I don't buy it, in fact it sounds more like a watermellon tactic.
Australian is a net CO2 sink, and the globe hasn't warmed for almost 18 years anyway; so I don't understant your point. Another thing is that conspiracy theorists amongst those you call denialist has been very throughly debunked, in fact 100% of "denialist" agree that man has caused some warming due to CO2 vs. 97% of Warmist agree with that statement! And before you go all conspiracy theorist about "Big Oil/Coal Shills" the CRU gets considerable funding from evil "Big Oil/Coal".
Hawaii is pretty unique situation, there even if you forget to turn on the "solar water" the temp of you shower is tollerable. When I was there last, it seemed there was no weather reports on TV, I assumed it was because any time the weather was different enough to report it was a news item. Residential heating is unnecessary from what I could see the winter I was there and I doubt A/C would be used even in the summer. I know it snows on Mona Loa on "big Island" but at lower elevation it's always nice.
Acording to jaxa data Australia and South America are actually a carbon sink and North America is the lowest of the net emitters even Europe has higher net emmission. I'm quite anxious for the OCO-2 data to start coming in.
I'm willing to be damaging a companies reputation with an illegal recording is going to get you into trouble, but I've always taken "this call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes" to mean I am allowed to record, to assure quality service.
I'm curious about your theory of mere mortals being suficiently powerfull to further damage Comcast's reputation.
The training is how to take it like a man without lube for letting the customer assert his/her rights.

Revoking the copyright at the death of the author would create a reason to have the author killed. In fact it is retarded to have it connected to the authors death at all. It should be from the creation of the work or when it was made available to the public only.
It would be far cheaper to kill most patent trolls than to defend against them, but I haven't heard of them being murdered no matter how deserving they may be.

That's one of the points of the patent system, a time limited monopoly, enforced by the Government, and in return for the valuble consideration of the Government Enforced Monopoly, the methods necessary to produce the patented item are collected and published by the government. At the expiration of the patent,not only is the monopoly lost, but all of the information to tell someone "skilled in the Arts" to reproduce without limitations. While the system is being corrupted with vaguely described, trivial patents, it's not beyond reform.
Not magical? Matter that I can't see and can't interact with? Can you imagine if someone made a drone out of that? A perfect spy device. Nobody can see it, hear it, or knock it down. In fact, I may have one hovering over you right now...
Not so, if you can't see or interact with it, then it can't see or interact with you.
The climate sensitivity specifically due to CO 2 is often expressed as the temperature change in C associated with a doubling of the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. Climate sensitivity
Equilibrium climate sensitivity is likely to be in the range 2C to 4.5C with a most likely value of about 3C, based upon multiple observational and modelling constraints. It is very unlikely to be less than 1.5C. {8.6, 9.6, Box 10.2} TS.6.4.2 Equilibrium and Transient Climate Sensitivity
So if the 2C for is correct for Equilibrium climate sensitivity, and CO2 level is 400 ppm, for there to a temperature increase of 2C, CO2 has to increase to 800ppm, for 4 degrees 1600ppm; that's settled science, what's not settled is whether the equilibrium climate sensitivity 1.5 or 2.5

Drinking Lake Erie water is scarry under the best of circumstances, even Detroit gets most of it's water from Lake Huron north of Port Huron. There is a lot of valuable lipids in that algae for make biofuel. There is a point where reducing nitrogen and phosphorus inputs are going to be effective in reducing blooms because the nitrates and phosphorus already in the eco-system keep recycling, removing the algae removes the fertilizer and breaks down the cycle. The exceptionally cold winter, cold spring, and cool summer also meant there was a very abrupt start to the algae's growth season in the summer rather than a more gradual start in the spring.
When I took Organic, there was a 2Kg bottle of picric acid (2,4,6-Trinitrophenol) not under any particular security other than a commercial door lock. Picric acid and TNT are interchange in an explosives context; so why synthesise when you can steal?
At that point you have to go back to command guided, which adds a whole new set of counter-measure oppertunities, and again not something you'll be likely to be able to do in an air-to-air combat.

Last time I did bussines with Comcast all I wanted was internet, but it was actually $7.00 cheeper to get basic TV + internet than internet alone.
Natural monopolies should never be for profit. This is what happens when you pay lip service to free market capitalism and fail to regulate.
We'd be so much better off if Comcast took all of the money paid out as dividends and put it into bonus checks for management instead.
