Of the many models that were put forth at the time, this one has fit the measured reality the best. But there were many models. But, admittedly, my analogy is not perfect, but it was the first thing that popped into my head.
I can see you did not want the karma hit from bringing rational debate into a climate article on slashdot...:) Allow me to compliment your insightful post before you are modded into -1 Troll oblivion along with me.
About this one... I remember a lot of "The seas will rise at least a foot by the turn of the century" predictions around this time. Where are those analyses?
Science is not just a bunch of old guys with wild hair who sit around, pulling shit out of their ass, and saying, "Hey, this sounds good. Let's go with this wild guess. The public will eat it up, and we'll get more grant money!"
Actually, it does include people like that too... And unfortunately, those guys are most likely to get the press. For the record, "Peer Reviewed" is not USA Today.
Seriously though, has it never occurred to you that there are huge disinformation campaigns out there funded by biased parties?
Yep. On both sides. This is why both sides have zero credibility with the other. Both sides call the others lying bastards, and for a vocal minority on both sides, they are right.
The first thing I thought when I read this yesterday was that this is how they "fit after the fact" Nostradamus predictions of the latest great tragedy. I also remember a lot of "12 inch sea level rise but the turn of the century" from that time period that didn't come true. So, yeah... The credibility thing is a bit strained.
The only difference between Republican and Democrat politicians, is that one side can cheat on a spouse and still have a career... Oh, wait... Newt... Never mind. No difference at all. That all want all the money and all the power for all time.
High power lasers will smoke a typical mirror. There are reflective surfaces that could work, but you have to keep them perfectly clean. Not happening at sea for long... However, a laser will be easier to track back than a tracer round...
She was reported by a parent of a student. How did that parent see the post if not a friend? Lots of teachers friend students and parents. I think that is dangerous, and FaceBook is dangerous enough.
Another reason not to "friend" everyone you know. Seriously, if you want to keep personal and work separate, keep it separate! No one I work with is on my facebook.
The downside to that being, in Texas, if you actually were insane enough to shoot the guy hassling you, a dozen other guys who were packing heat in hopes of being some sort of twisted hero some day would start firing at you without a further thought.
Given the fact they would be shooting.38 specials with 2 inch barrels you'd probably never get touched but in a crowded mall they're likely to hit somebody.
If you think the crazies on this website are a little off, just try and talk to somebody who thinks it appropriate to carry a loaded weapon in a shopping mall.
As some one who actually lives in Texas and has taken the CHL class, and seen arm men in the commission of a crime, you sir, are full of shit.

Next time a hurricane is coming in, try and dig up the maps with different model predictions. They are all math, and all VERY different.
Which side is that, because depending on how you skew the framework it can be both sides. And that is part of the problem.
And for the record, the Chicago Climate Exchange funded a lot of now debunked research.
I am still amazed that people think they see a difference between the parties...

It was more than one yahoo... It was all over the place. Kinda like now.

The eighties was 30 years ago?
Shit I'm old.
Shut up. I am an age denialist, and your messing me up!
For some reason, Google does not have a good index of websites from the 70s. I need to find an old copy of Lycos or Aliweb...

The guys that make accurate predictions the most are the ones whose theories scientists start to believe are true.
Only if they consistently make accurate predictions, and not just hit the Loto once.
Note: that doesn't mean that CO2 is good.
For plants, it kinda is... You know... For them to grow and stuff? I think it may be required...

If you don't have 5000 friends, it is easier to notice these connections...

Just because you couldn't get anyone to "friend" you is no reason to be so bitter...

Depends on who is doing the DIY and who is being paid.

"Can I help you sir?" "Yeah, do you have a screen film for this phone?" "Yes, we have this one with a lifetime warranty for 20 dollars."
Honest Abe. 20 bucks for a fancy piece of scotch tape.
"Oh, we're going broke!!!!" Good.
A lifetime warranty for tape! Sounds like a steal!
But it is the lifetime of the tape...
No, it is the other way. High end speciality stores still do quite well. Low end stores with high prices, however...
