No, because you can do a series of double-blind studies on a sample of human subjects. And then it goes through an approval process based on the results. And you can (in theory) hold the pharma financially liable for any malfeasance.
Whereas, for geological studies, we only have one planet 1 AU from the Sun. All we have available for study is raw data of past conditions and computer models. And with that we have more of a consensus among the scientists in the know than we have ever had in the field of economics, on whose theories whole countries are formed and run.
Because of idiot movies like the China Syndrome, people think that nuclear power is dangerous
More like, because of idiots like the ones working at TMI and Chernobyl. I also support nuclear wholheartedly, but can that Hollywood Elite bullshit, ya? Makes you sound Palin-y.
Both use scientific apparatus to figure out what happened in the past rather than using the scientific method to uncover the secrets of life and the universe.
Because studying the past by looking through telescopes towards objects at high redshift tells you nothing about the Universe.
Gravity provides the initial power behind a chaotic pendulum. Feel free to get back to me with your prediction of its exact motion.
Snark aside and back to your example, gravity is an extremely simple system when only two bodies are involved. And it takes a supercomputer to predict the local velocity field at a particular place in a galaxy. And comparing that local velocity field to direct observation of the motion of the stars at that point is an exercise in futility. Does that falsify gravity?
Don't confuse a global prediction (climate) with a local stochastic process (weather).
The time dilation effect would seem to suggest that nothing ever reaches the event horizon, because time slows down so it falls increasingly slowly towards the hole.
Clocks always run at the same rate in a given frame for an observer in that frame. It appears to take an infinite amount of time to an external observer. Hence the term "relativiity".
Limbaugh may be obnoxious and rude, but I can't think of anything particularly offensive about his voice that I don't hear pretty much every day walking down the street.
Dude, his voice is so annoying his own ears couldn't take it anymore and shut down.
I'm kidding, of course. His hearing loss was actually the result of him being an unapologetic oxycontin addict.
Just as Carbon Dioxide traps heat on Earth is an unproven, yet indisputable fact...
Yes, it's completely unproven, except for the millions of spectra taken of the molecule, which show its resonance in the infrared part of the spectrum. Science, bitches — it works. Now, had you said something about the AMOUNT of heat it traps and whether that amount is significant, then we could be having an actual debate. I'll be bringing my physics Ph.D. with me, how about you?
The first of course, belonging to the humble humanitarian who has never pulled any political stint or canvassed bullshit as science to make himself money, Al Gore.
And here you reveal the biases that inform your decision — not against the science based on any understanding of physics and chemistry, but because one of the advocates is someone with which you disagree politically. Pathetic.
Still, kudos on your all-too-accurate Slashdot ID.
Yes, we've studied the Sun intently. Is that supposed to mean that we have a complete understanding of its effect on the climate? Really? Do you honestly think we have all the answers now? That we're even close to having all the answers?
You're so right! I'll make a deal with you — if I admit that science doesn't fully understand gravity, will you can go jump of a goddam cliff?
Sorry — I ran out of polite the first twenty times I saw this retarded argument for doing fucking nothing.
I wonder if you are just another right-leaning jagoff who will use the summary of any story to blame something lefty like "unions" without regard to the necessity of proof to level yet another of your accusations.
The pitch inflections actually recall me to a sort of idiot valley girl a la Alicia Silverstone.
Actually, I think he's going for Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, with a bit of Ed Gein thrown in. It's a bit that did not work for you,
apparently, but that keeps it from being too Comic Book Guy. If that's what you want I'm sure there are hundreds such out there. Once I spun up with it I liked this review. Chacun à son goût.
He also has multi-part reviews of all of the TNG-cast Star Trek films (yes, in the same character), even more brutal than the Ep I takedown. Good stuff.
Partly, but not just. There was enough arable land to sustain colonization until the Little Ice Age in the middle part of the last millenium.
In fact, I recently just read of an interesting, related hypothesis that the Little Ice Age itself was the result of the dropoff of anthropogenic CO2 due to the plagues of the Middle Ages. The loss of 10 ppm in that period was enough to shift the settled part of Greenland back into unsustainability.
Is it OK on the left to be a radical muslim in the U.S. military?
Yes.
Why, is it not OK on the right to allow American citizens the freedom of speech and religion guaranteed in the Constitution? Don't fret, I already know the answer to that one...
But with a very closed system like XBox360, the evidence wouldn't be nearly as obvious unless these machines set themselves up to power on in the background while disabling front panel indicator lights. (Since the indicator lights are mostly controlled by software, that would not be surprising to see.)
Fortunately the 360 is immune from sub rosa operation by a botnet, since when the thing is on it's so loud that Helen Keller wakes from the dead to complain about it.
The glory left when you prevented us from using the OS we wanted to use in favor of the OS you could support. Or, more precisely, the one you SAID you could support. Now you get all of the blame for its shortcomings, which we have no problem recounting to you when you show up to fix our new machines.

In other words, quit being a douche.

The honorable Senator from the state of MARVEL SMASH!!

Honestly, the only reason that I can't see that as being the official Republican stance is that it makes sense.

Not everyone who takes a CS class is a CS major.

If it's any consolation, I much prefer the bored version of the German military.

(checks Kohath's comment history)
Reasonable hypothesis.
Except that since Apple is a private company, and not a government entity, it is NOT censorship. It can choose what it does and does not sell.
WHoOps.
Wait a second, wait a second, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
Ann Coulter's a WOMAN?!?!?
There, fixed that for you.
*doo-dooo-DOOOOOO-doooooooo* Your colony needs food!

Nor has it publicly denied that it raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.
Yes.
Yes.

That's funny — I was going to say the same thing in reference to the 1973 recipients.

Suck on it.
That may be the only virus for which Bill Gates cannot be held responsible.
