I hate the format of a paper. It is too big to be easy to read. The pages are huge and most of it I just don't care about.
There are two main formats: broadsheet and tabloid. In the popular meme, usually only the "undereducated, blue-collar" class read the tabloids, while the "more educated" prefer the other.

In some countries, especially Canada, UK, and USA, broadsheet newspapers are commonly perceived to be more intellectual in content than their tabloid counterparts, using their greater size to examine stories in more depth, while carrying less sensationalist and celebrity material. This distinction is most obvious on the front page: whereas tabloids tend to have a single story dominated by a headline, broadsheets allow two or more stories to be displayed, the most important at the top of the page - "above the fold." In other countries, such as Spain, a small format is the universal for newspapers - a popular, sensational press has had difficulty taking root - and the tabloid size has no such connotations.
No one seemed to refute our decision to stop using CFCs
That particular decision did not have the far-reaching implications that the current plans do. You're old enough to know the difference, stop pretending.
Someone please explain to me what a "reputable" qualification is WRT to Climate Science. Is it a Ph.D or Masters one can get regardless of their educational history (eg, can an Eng Lit get one?).
How long has "Climate Science" been an acknowledged field of study as compared to, say, mechanical or chemical engineering or geology?
Is a "greenhouse gas" something that can be demonstrated in a lab somewhere?
Do you think carbon dioxide is a pollutant?
I really hope that you don't think Global Warming/Climate Change can be scientifically proved by a kitchen-level experiment or people plugging-in/changing enough variables into software to get the "right" output.
The earth's climate system is a great example of chaotic fluid dynamics in action. For someone to claim that they understand or can control it is laughable.
The intent is to get "outraged" and protest in the streets (rent-a-crowds) without ever seeing the image. By now you should have figured-out that this is the way the left works.
I don't think s/he has thought that far ahead (or back). Kids today have lots of opinions and the ability to quickly communicate them. Also, they've learned how to mimic adults in anonymous forums - it's a game for them, they're just testing the world of grown-ups.
When they thought about those objects, certain areas of the brain lit up.
It's been done. I am now going to make you think of the actual temperature needed to liquefy atmospheric air (on earth), Mozart and why worms are more visible after rain.
I'm a person with the right to form my opinions according to my own standards. Who are you to order me not to?
The right to free speech has always been sacrosanct, but the free access of the internet has allowed the naive youth, clueless fame-seeking morons and just plain crazies to put forth a respectable-looking face on radical concepts. Someone please explain to me where PETA gets it's funding.
Can you confirm to me that they won't kill again? IDK, but killing innocents would seem to me to indicate that a certain mental/sociological taboo has been breached in the minds of some. Would you be willing to have "reformed" killers living next door?
I'm guessing that your answer would be, "no", because you likely live in a nice, safe neighbourhood. It'd be fine if they were released somewhere you don't have to deal with, right, Dvorkin?
Let's see it perform with something like this:

It's a YouTube 3D refinery flythrough - architectural stuff is tame, compared to this. This is not as finely-detailed as the interior of a microprocessor but the actual thing processes much more than electrons and has to accommodate humans walking throughout and managing it. It looks complicated to the uninitiated, but it's not really.
Nifty, eh? Complex enough?
I always know when I'm in trouble with Amex, as I get strange hang-up calls. I call them up, settle the balance, and the hang-up calls go away. Odd. Later, they offer me a "better" card. Now, I have the super-duper, gold-plated, silver-trimmed version that gives me a million dollar limit. At this point I'm just trawling them along, waiting until I get the billion-dollar limit unobtanium version card after which I'll just say, "Sayonara, suckers!" and get on my spaceship.

...making enough bank...
Let me guess: do you ever use the words, 'bling' or 'swag' in casual conversation?
Yes, I know already, the English language continuously evolves, blah, blah, blah.

However, once you get past the most basic assertions, the scientific community is doing an absolutely terrible job.
Is there any wonder then, that some smell a conspiracy?
whether CO2 is a greenhouse gas
Is a "greenhouse gas" something that can be demonstrated in a lab somewhere?
Do you think carbon dioxide is a pollutant?

Until we as a species have a more natural enemy (whether real or imagined)
Like Global Warming?
Mod me into oblivion, I don't care anymore.

Thanks.
Are you aware of Steve McIntyre's observations?
brainwashing by pseudoscience
I'm not sure if you are a troll or just deluded.
Bravo.

Would you point the exact one for me? Or do you want me to spend hours checking out all the "above" links.
Mann et al took tree core samples
How many samples did he take, and what was the geographical distribution of the source trees?
"It's very hard to tell, without digging into the raw data which they won't release..."
I think I see the problem here.
Some people still suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome. It's not their fault (of course), it's a mental/emotional condition.
Good points. But can you imagine an engineering designer (assuming that said designer had multiple ideas in his head) having to deal with this?
I can tell you from personal experience that competent design quite often takes the old "sketching on an envelope" and then further refining the idea.
When I have an idea I reach for a pencil.

Did it work?
Mod parent up.
I'm backing JCR on this.

The vast majority of Christian mass-murderers haven't screamed "Jesus Christ is great and really cool!" as they gunned-down their victims.

With a "6 figure" income you need to borrow money to buy basic transportation?
