Provide a method that will actually work and the world will hold you a hero forever. Don't and you're just another whiner that the world is a tough place.
Those would be the spikes that occurred at 410K, 330K, 240K, and 130K yrs ago. That can be found here (http://www.worldhistory.com/wiki/i/ice-core.htm).
Yes, that is true. The evidence also shows that there have been periods in the past where the change to the warmer (and cooler) have been as or more drastic than today. Don't pick and choose your data.
"...I hope it isn't seen by governments as an excuse to ease their environmental burdens..."
I do too, but for entirely different reasons.
First, there is no need to allow escape of by-products into the environment because it can be prevented now.
Second, there is a use for every single by-product that industry produces, so wasting them is economically inexcusable.
That said, neither side is above falsifying data, ignoring data, or looking for the buck with a book to publish. The very same authors who were agruing we were on our way to global freezing in the 70's are now arguing we're headed to global baking.
Oddly enough, the sun is now being given more credit then in the past for the warming, and my guess is that it's more connected with the hole as well. I said guess because it is one, and I'm honest about it, and I am very aware and read up on the research concerning it.
The problem with the researchers that claim to have nailed down the causes is that there are plenty of things they cannot even measure yet concerning the sun. Why? Because we don't currently have the space industry capable of putting those experiments into place. Hence the reliance on inference drawn by indirect measurements.
It is compelling to us to pay attention to the inferences drawn, but not to the grand extrapolations that sometimes accompany them.
Those who believe that industry is 'run' by those who don't care if the entire world goes to hell are idiots. Likewise, those who believe that environmentalist are all out for only truth are idiots as well. Agendas are rife in human affairs. Why should these areas be different?
Uh, no. The data set did nothing to suggest that the hole was human caused. Only that it was there. Remember, when we discovered it, it was new to us, there was no "far enough into the past".
Nicely put. May I suggest that you, like all poor artists throughout time, forgo all the little pleasures that cost money and invest in your craft at the expense of all else. Remember, daVinci had to grind and make his own paints, he didn't purchase them. Valesquez even went so far as to invent his very own way of doing it. If you need a good computer, work at Kentucky Fried or whereever and save. At the end of the year you can purchase said machine. In the meantime, there's nothing stopping you from doing the design and layouts without it.
There is not "athiest underground", moron. Convenient of you to create a bogus entity and then assume everyone should believe your associating it with anything you don't like.
Apparently you are unaware of what irony is. Religious fundamentalists are intolarent of someone who simply believes differently and does not wish to "suffer in silence". Hating that intolerance is in no way related. No irony there, only the presumption of correctness in the original hatred.
Went there, read that. Interest. Right up until the Earth born from Saturn part. I am quite versed in ancient legend and nowhere have I found any indication that Ra, Sol and Helios were at one time references to Saturn. Seemed to jump into a personal religion at that point.
"The problem of irreducible complexity, put forward by scientists many years ago, does not any kind of satisfactory answer."
I'll have to interpret, as the sentence doesn't actually make sense. Irreducible complexity is an argument from personal incredulity. If there was no problem, by the way, why have the IC'rs been forced from the eye, to the retina, to the pigments, to the smaller and smaller, every time investigation has provided evidence that IC is crap?
"...numerous components, with no individual purpose..."
See above. The components, unfortunately for IC'rs always show individual purpose. Too bad.
"Archaeologists are trying to determine the cause of the Cambrian explosion, or "biological big bang"."
First, glad you showed your ignorance. Archaelolgists care not for the Cambrian, Paleontologists do. Second, there was no "explosion". The Cambrian was when hard parts developed and the fossil record "exploded" because of that. If you look earlier, say in the Burgess Shales, you find the soft-bodied precursors to the Cambrian animals. Read more.

We'd start giving more of a shit if the other countries didn't let everything go to hell, then call us for help.
Ummm. Considering oil for food and other scandals, not even that.
"get rid of the nukes"
Provide a method that will actually work and the world will hold you a hero forever. Don't and you're just another whiner that the world is a tough place.
Then how about killing tens of thousands of your neighbors? That good enough? Same man.
Not communism, no. Socialism. Almost as bad.
Assuming by AFRAID you mean not desiring to kowtow or go along with because of presumed social superiority, yes. If you mean fear, no.
Interesting you mention our not invading Europe. I thought you considered us empirialists?
Those would be the spikes that occurred at 410K, 330K, 240K, and 130K yrs ago. That can be found here (http://www.worldhistory.com/wiki/i/ice-core.htm).
Thousands is an overstatement and is balanced by others.
Doubled is an overstatement by seven.
Billion s of cattle? This year (ERS/USDA) "U.S.--94.9 million head - Canada--14.7 million head". Overstatement by twenty times for combined countries.
Eliminated means to remove completely, they were replaced by grasses, large overstatement.
I'll bet you didn't know just how overblown your statements were, did you?
Yes, that is true. The evidence also shows that there have been periods in the past where the change to the warmer (and cooler) have been as or more drastic than today. Don't pick and choose your data.
"I know the red giant is aways off, but after earth is a blasted irradiated rock..."
What?!?!? You're actually worried about billions of years? Why?
"...I hope it isn't seen by governments as an excuse to ease their environmental burdens..."

And presuming (never proved, just presumed) that the connection is valid to begin with. An ill-conceived cure can be worse than the disease.
Uh, no. The data set did nothing to suggest that the hole was human caused. Only that it was there. Remember, when we discovered it, it was new to us, there was no "far enough into the past".
Funny, that.
"Of course scientists caution this would have to continue for at least a couple more years to be a trend or anything to get excited about."
I don't recall they're waiting a 'couple more years' before squealing that humans were responsible and linking it to the end-of-the-world scenarios.
What a bunch of pompous crap. Play (in Webster's Unabridged) has 94 definitions. I can play a flute, play a hand of solitaire, or play with myself.
Not one definition of fun as a verb requires another participant. Mainly, it is any activity that generates mirth.
In short, you don't know what you're talking about.
Nicely put. May I suggest that you, like all poor artists throughout time, forgo all the little pleasures that cost money and invest in your craft at the expense of all else.

Best of luck.
Since when does a t-shirt constitue "persecution"?
There is not "athiest underground", moron. Convenient of you to create a bogus entity and then assume everyone should believe your associating it with anything you don't like.
By the way, Christian science is an oxymoron.
Apparently you are unaware of what irony is. Religious fundamentalists are intolarent of someone who simply believes differently and does not wish to "suffer in silence". Hating that intolerance is in no way related. No irony there, only the presumption of correctness in the original hatred.
No can do. Aging for one. Micro-technique, for another.
"which still ends up as being less precious than human life, no matter how fine the art"
That is only an opinion. There are scum on this Earth that I would trade their lives for a friggin' Bazooka Bubble Gum cartoon.
For those who think this is a good idea, then why the fuck have a museum at all? Just have an on-line set of images. Jeez.
The real thing cannot be faked.
"If we MUST live with idiotic laws saying what we can and cannot think/write (ie. ridiculous copyrights, software patents)..."
Bzzzt! No laws to outlaw your thoughts. AND, no laws telling you what you cannot write. Hmmm. WTF do you mean?
"...GPL protecting our work from exploitation..."
As another poster pointed out, you want it both ways. 'Free' (others) music, but protected (yours) code.

"The theory of macro-evolution is that more-ordered organisms have evolved from less-ordered organisms over time."
Ehhhhhhh. This is your problem. That is not a true statement, witness many parasites.
