  1. Re:Nice try on Scientific Journal Nature Finds Nothing Notable In CRU Leak · · Score: 0, Troll

    Oceans rising? Right... There are ancient cities on the sea floor off North Africa. Did Mediterranean rise because the humans were cooking too much 2000 years ago?

    It doesn't help the debate when people like you give arguments like this, which is obviously ridiculous.

    If you think this comparison is valid you must also disagree with the fact the carbon emissions are correlated to the amount of fossil fuel being burned. You should have stayed in school.

    Why would it be lucky, since what you posted simply isn't true?

    Your post isn't true.

    Argument ad infinitum.

  3. Re:Peer-reviewed journal? on Scientific Journal Nature Finds Nothing Notable In CRU Leak · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you're this sceptical of the peer-review process, then why aren't you dismissing everything else in science as well? It's done by exactly the same process.

  4. Re:Almost on Scientific Journal Nature Finds Nothing Notable In CRU Leak · · Score: 1

    I imagine all scientific journals will be quite clear on this point. A few suspect emails do not destroy millions of man hours of research..

    I don't care what you say or what happens to my children or anyone else's children. I'm keeping my SUV.

    Fixed it for you.

    "A few suspect emails do not destroy millions of man hours of research."

    Never mind the quality, feel the weight.

    So are you disputing the quality of the work of scientists who were not related in any way to CRU? And where's your evidence or arguments?

  6. Re:The most telling word in the whole article: on Scientific Journal Nature Finds Nothing Notable In CRU Leak · · Score: 1, Troll

    Sometimes it's necessary to stop listining to the idiots. It's the same with evolution denialists. We can't keep spending time on issues that the vast majority of scientists agree is bogus.

  7. Re:Let me save the UN the time on Scientific Journal Nature Finds Nothing Notable In CRU Leak · · Score: 1

    Here's the UN investigation outcome, "those emails mean nothing".

    Just wait for it.

    What are you implying? The ENTIRE UN is in on the "conspiracy" to give more funding to a select group of scientists, so that they can take more trips to Tahiti?

    Just throw it away. Recycling in it's current form is a crock anyway.

    Your local waste management company is well equiped to deal with bits of plastic and metal.

    For a server.
    Probably not running windows, as linux and other *n.x type OSes support monstrous amounts of CPUs already.

    If you're thinking of virtualization, then I don't think it necessary (in typical cases). The bottleneck is usually disk access.

  15. Re:Translation into sensible units on LHC Reaches Over One Trillion Electron Volts · · Score: 1

    I've translated the orders of magnitude in the article into a more conventional form:

    1 trillion electron volts = 1 TeV
    1 billion electron volts = 1 GeV

    Is that a French billion or an American billion?

    French. An American billion is 977 American millions, which in turn is 907 American thousands.

    More funding, and more trips to Tahiti.

    That's it? They would be willing to risk their career and the credability of everything they ever worked on to get more trips to Tahiti?

    Now, after we find out that much of the experimental and observational basis for Global Warmology is actually a scam...

    Yes, all of it. Every single journal or proceedings containing papers relevant to global warming research is now debunked.

    And for the idiots out there, that was sarcasm.

  18. Re:Forcing people into impoverished lives on Engaging With Climate Skeptics · · Score: 1

    The AGW believers want to use governments to force people to lead objectively poorer lives.

    Why? What's their motive? I've heard that argument a million times. "They wan't to push their agenda." "They wan't to force us to drive efficient cars."

    Why would they try to force something like that if it wasn't true?

    Wow, that argument works on a number of things.

  20. Re:ESR said it very well - Open Source Science on Engaging With Climate Skeptics · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While I do think there is climate change, I think that many of the "disaster scenarios" are over hyped..

    What possible motivation would the climate scientists have to do so? What do they gain from over hyping the possible scenarios? To promote renewable energy? Again, what do they gain from this?
