  1. What percent of 4,000,000,000 is 32? on Grim Picture of Polar Ice-Sheet Loss · · Score: 1, Informative

    Oh my! 32 years and 20 years of monitoring, the melt is unprecedented! After 4 billion years of existence, the Earth is laughing quite heartily at the experts.

  2. Re:Now see, This is why you are a boob on Is There Still a Ray of Hope On Climate Change? · · Score: 1

    The thing only a few have pointed out is that the "on record" part is factually wrong. Records were kept in the 1930s and it was far hotter then. The number of high temperature records broken since 2000 is a drop in the bucket compared to how many high temperature records were broken in the 1930s. These records still stand today.

  3. You Can't on Asking Slashdot: Converting an SUV Into an Hybrid Diesel-Electric? · · Score: 1

    Upon completion of the conversion, the SUV would promptly run into the nearest building or off the nearest cliff at high speed. I know this is true from all the media stories with headlines like, "SUV Runs Off Road, Crashes Into Building." Because, as all reporters know, SUVs are sentient and evil.

  4. Re:Headline should say... on Nature: Global Temperatures Are a Falling Trend · · Score: 0

    The "hockey stick" graph has been proven fraudulent time and time again. Those drafted into the religion still keep their heads in the sand.

  5. One Question on Windows 8 Pre RTM Metro UI Leaked · · Score: 1

    What users of Windows 8 will there be?

  6. Re:Sounds like Climate Scientists on Drug Company Disguised Advertising As Science · · Score: 1

    Evidence: A Hockey Stick graph showing rampant global warming all based on one tree in Russia. Tree ring temperature lines that "declined" and instead were replaced with actual thermometer readings that have been adjusted upward time after time (not to mention an ever increasing UHI effect).

    Predictions: Models based on false data (see Evidence) and built with 100% confirmation bias.

    Data: See above.

    Yep, it's not at all like Big Pharma, not at all.....

  7. Sounds like Climate Scientists on Drug Company Disguised Advertising As Science · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Sounds exactly like what climate scientists do in order to find a signal for man-made global warming in the vast pool of noise that is natural climate variability.

  8. P+ on Online Loneliness At Google+ · · Score: 1

    Google+ is now Ponies+.

  9. Re:Other examples on Oracle and the End of Programming As We Know It · · Score: 1

    Aaaaaaah! All that time spent learning Commodore Basic may yet pay off!

    Which was proven in court to be an exact copy of MSBasic. Nice thought, though.

  10. Re:So... on Leaked Heartland Institute Documents Reveal Opposition To Science · · Score: 1

    There are a handful of scientists worldwide that deny the AGW consensus. The question is why? The assumption used to be that they were handsomely paid to do it. That is now fact.

    Actually, there are near 20,000 scientists that deny AGW. And the only thing these documents prove (if you could someone exclude the faked data) is that skeptics only received a tiny drop in the bucket amount of money compared to the billions and billions received by the warmists.

  11. Re:So... on Leaked Heartland Institute Documents Reveal Opposition To Science · · Score: 2

    There are islands in the south Pacific that are being evacuated because ocean levels are rendering them uninhabitable

    Name one. The ocean levels have not risen in the past 10 years. No islands or ports or whatever has been evacuated due to rising sea levels.

  12. Re:So... on Leaked Heartland Institute Documents Reveal Opposition To Science · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Actually, if you dig into the emails, and the data, and the programs, you will find they are EXACTLY what climateaudit said they were. Anyone saying they are 'out of context' is desperately trying to hide the real context that AGW is a fraud and always has been.

  13. Re:Relevant portion of one of the documents on Leaked Heartland Institute Documents Reveal Opposition To Science · · Score: 1

    Anthony Watts only received $44,000. Contrary to most reports.

  14. Faked Documents on Leaked Heartland Institute Documents Reveal Opposition To Science · · Score: 1

    The main document is a fake and several others have been altered. Didn't see it in the discussion. Thought I'd mention it. http://heartland.org/press-releases/2012/02/15/heartland-institute-responds-stolen-and-fake-documents

  15. Re:Arrested for knowledge? WTF? on Man Who Downloaded Bomb Recipes Jailed For 2 Years · · Score: 0

    Well you did have Goldman Sachs selling things to people that they knew were going to or very likely to fail (and did fail in the end)...precisely because Goldman Sachs were making bets that they would fail. That's pretty much the definition of fraud....

    Actually, they were required to sell loans to people they knew would fail to repay by the federal government. They had no choice in the matter. What company would willingly give money to someone they knew would not be able to pay it back? That makes no sense, where is the profit in that?

  16. Re:Bogus Science on Melting Glaciers Cutting Peru Water Supply · · Score: 1

    The IPCC is not an authoritative source either.

  17. Bogus Science on Melting Glaciers Cutting Peru Water Supply · · Score: 2

    The science was so bad in this report it's already been torn to pieces. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/12/20/this-is-glacial-tap/

    This exact design was already described a few years ago by that Science/Discovery channel guy. Can't remember his name.

  19. Arthritis on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    Looks pretty obvious to me the lady has arthritis and is scratching her temple just where her hat touches. Not an uncommon act. The arthritis explains the shape her fingers take. Nothing to see here, move along...

    LOL, that's what they're doing now. Hoping we don't notice there's a difference between what they say and what is really happening around us.

    You're whole post just screams, "This is why we need peer review of science based source code!"

  23. Re:Seems reasonable on Call For Scientific Research Code To Be Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Careful, you are getting dangerously close to the conceited, "Holier than thou" attitude that many climate scientists are spewing out. You really don't know what you're talking about when you say the op doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm a software engineer, finding bugs, even when you don't know what the code is doing, is a lot easier than you would think.

  24. Re:Modern-Day Galileo on The Science Credibility Bubble · · Score: 1

    Apparently the numbers have been verified as fraudulent.

  25. Re:Great, just great on Scientists Step Down After CRU Hack Fallout · · Score: 3, Informative

    The source code which was leaked clearly shows the data was manipulated with garbage data and arbitrarily created fudge factors. Even the comments in the code state that this was exactly the purpose. Someone on another website ran all 0's through the algorithm and the resulting data was the same 'hockey stick' pattern. Even running random data through the algorithm produced the same 'hockey stick' pattern. So, there's no fraud? Yeah, there is.
