But, ice caps are a big factor when modeling climate. Even if there was a solution, you still haven't really pinned down the root cause of gravity. So your answer is "no", but it makes both incomplete to the point that they are both useless except in situations with very few variables, e.g., a few planets, or a week's worth of climate.
If God exists, how can there be evil, a Devil, and Hell? Why would a perfect and benevolent being have need to create of such things? If all things come from God, then God created evil.
"people who only qualify for unskilled labor" I have a few problems with this statement. First is the assumption that someone working at Walmart has no skills. Plenty of people there who just can't find work anywhere else at the moment. Second, while I don't think people deserve some huge reward simply for working, it must be remembered that an employee is literally selling a bit of their life. In that light they should be given enough money to live off (and I don't mean just enough to survive). Those unskilled workers are often doing work that you won't, and hell, I wouldn't either.
Why should having a some mass produced college degree entitle anyone to such grossly higher pay? They already have the benefit of having a job that won't destroy their body to the point being unable to do their job. Does a CEO really bring 1000 times the benefit to the company than a laborer would?
Morality and legality, while often related, should never be equated. One example is marijuana. Illegal, but you'd be hard pressed to make a negative morality statement regarding its consumption. How about speeding? Pick any victimless crime. It's not moral for Apple to avoid paying into the government, whose benefits they've enjoyed for a long time, forcing everyone else to make up the difference. It's essentially stealing from everyone else, legal or not. Besides, if not for the government, Microsoft or IBM would have crushed them two decades ago.
My theory, based on no actual empirical evidence, is that whatever object struck Earth to make the moon was a large comet. While I'm not sure how this could be proven, it would explain the arrival of the oceans after Earth was formed and after the moon came along. It also explains the subsurface water being found on the moon. It would also mean that "Earth-like" planets take a somewhat rarer series of events to happen.
CO2 isn't the only heat trapper, very true. My argument is entirely over CO2 and I am arguing that it is only a minor one at that. Mars has 15 times the CO2 of Earth and still receives 43% the sunlight. Earth also reflects over twice as much visible light than Mars. Also of note is that Svante Arrhenius, the guy who figured out CO2 was a greenhouse gas, said as the concentration increased exponentially the temperature would increase linearly. It's a natural log graph where the Y axis is the temperature and the X is the CO2 concentration. Basically the exact opposite of the hockey stick, it flattens out as it gets more concentrated.
Water vapor is the only current significant greenhouse gas. Methane makes up.00018% of the atmosphere, barely measurable, and would only ever be a problem if the planet released all of it's methane hydrates in a short interval. If it get's hot enough for that we have huge problems already.
Actually, the partial pressure of CO2 on Mars is far greater (all numbers are taken from Wikipedia and assumes an ideal gas): Earth - 101.325 kPa x.00038 (CO2 is.038% of Earth's atmosphere) =.0385 kPa CO2 Mars -.636 kPa x.9532 (95.32% of Martian atmosphere) =.6062 kPa CO2.6062 /.0385 = 15.75 So actually the partial pressure of CO2 on Mars is 15 times greater than here on Earth.
CO2 is the money making scapegoat. We aren't going to see dramatic changes going from.03% to.04% concentration. But, it is a gas produced in a seemingly large, quantifiable amount. The Earth is slowly heating at the moment, no doubt, but CO2 isn't bogeyman it's made out to be. Where is the hockeystick graph for Mars, which has CO2 concentrations far beyond anything achievable on Earth?
Just who do you think would try to invade the US? It's citizenry alone are the most well armed in the world. We have 89 guns per 100 citizens, beating #2 Serbia (big threat there!) at 58, China has 5. It's suicide. Our biggest threat is ourselves. How does a smaller military weaken us ideologically, or more absurdly, economically? Has it occurred to you that we are so despised in so many places because of our large military and its pervasive grip? This citizen doesn't want an empire or all the economic and moral baggage that goes with it.
Wouldn't any sort of gravity sensor be measuring acceleration due to gravity? They're basically rudimentary accelerometers. Any object using gravity could be spun to fool it's sensor.
"Buyer beware" is just good, if not cheesy advice. "Caveat emptor" refers to an actual set of laws as well as sounding cooler. You do realize that you complained about something sounding smart on a website that's "news for nerds". Maybe this is more your speed.
Furthermore, does Seal Team 6 or their children (scholarship, really? let them earn one for themselves like anyone else) deserve any more compensation than the soldiers that have done far more (unsung) deeds than taking down a figurehead?
Also, I figure if I'm gonna say that stuff I'd better log in and claim it.
.exe is called an "Application"..dll is an "Application extension". I still remember back in the 90's the slang for a great program was a "killer app".
Not to take away from your point, other than to point out more that he has no idea what he's talking about. This caught my eye in 2D: "And 600 million years of evolution has never presented this problem before." I have to ask what starting point he going from. I doubt early multi-cellular life was concerned about whether their eyes focused correctly.
Uh, yeah. You obviously have no idea how the zodiac symbols were really decided. On the day you were born the Sun is sitting in the middle of a constellation. That was how it was determined. You are also ignoring the fact that not only do the zodiac symbols rotate slowly through the calender, because of the exact same second rotational axis, so do the seasons. In 11,500 years, Dec. 21 will be midsummer in the northern hemisphere. I don't know how you'd think it has anything to do with seasons, anyway. Leave it to the superstitious to ignore any actual facts or history.
That isn't real science. If you're right in that case you can't eliminate some coincidence. Real science requires tests. Meteorology is climatology in the very, very near future. Climatology is the sum of a lot of meteorology, it cant exist without it. The only way for climatology to sufficiently graduate to a real science to be able to exceptionally accurately predict weather, temperature, etc. one year, one solar cycle out. Once you accomplish that you have as close to a control as you'll ever get, even though it really isn't. Then you can make a prediction of what will happen if you alter the parameters, and then actually alter the parameters and see if you're right. Climatology does not use the real "scientific method", it has no experiments, there is no test or control. That doesn't mean climatologists are wrong, it just means there drawing a trend lines on data we're gathering.
that you don't know much about Pink Floyd. They could go on tour with insane ticket prices and still sell out every venue, no problem, but they don't. Much of their music is actually about the revulsion of that motivation in the industry ("Have a Cigar" is exactly about this). Also, Pink Floyd owns their music. This was to pave way for a 5 year distribution contract, as the previous one (from '99 I believe) expired.
No, of course not. The next step is to either make all cops some kind of minor Judge (Dredd style), or just grant them their own warrant authority. For safety of course.
If you want a space launch vehicle capable of escape velocity, that's 11,200m/s. The space shuttle is about 3Gs or 9.8*3=29.4m/s^2. It would take just under 6 1/2 minutes at that acceleration and needs a rail over 1,300 miles long! Now the problem is you are pointing at the horizon. No sudden turns at 7mi/s.

Yes, let's try to create massive worldwide algae blooms, cause the one's were getting already have been fantastic.

There isn't much, as in 15 times as much atmospheric CO2 as here on Earth. I explained it below to the AC two replies down.

Mars -

Yes and no. Why do you think we are hated then? "For our freedoms"?

With a shorter lifespan they should be able to evolve much quicker, having many more generations.
Well at least there are 10 satisfied people out there then.

I figured there would be a sudden spike of those auto-dimming welding masks.
