  1. You keep forgetting Bill Nye is an entertainer, and as such, his opinion on the number of people that don't believe humans are causing natural climate change is unreliable.

  2. If you were discussing the science and offering materials to forward your argument rather than making personal attacks you would make much more progress in convincing people to consider your point of view.

    Saying I am right and you are wrong and that makes you ( fill in the blank ) for not accepting whatever ( name of the latest marinate ) has said on the subject.

  3. Thank you.

    This is much more what I was looking for.

  4. Ok that's enough.

    I am more interested in leading a constructive conversation not waving intellectual d!cks in the air.

    When you're ready to have a constructive conversation you can PM me. I am sick and tired trying to discuss this topic with chicken littles.

    The Earth will f*cking survive and Humanity will adapt as usual it's not the end of the planet.

    Good Day.

    It is fully permitted.

    The only place I see this flying is in Alaska. Otherwise local citizenry or local government would be raiding your home and burning it down. What state did you pull this miracle off in?

  6. I find it hard to believe you've disproved an experiment which apparently you know nothing about.

    You're closer.

    I find it hard to believe that CO2 as a causative factor in climate change has been adequately proven based on the information I have found.

    I never said I had disproved anything. I said that I doubt the science behind it, and suspect those who stand to profit of pushing their own 'beachfront property in Nevada' scheme.

    I know the answers to the questions I posed above. If you knew, and paid attention to science in highschool ( as a beginning point ) then you would understand the basics. But your responses tell me you don't know and aren't likely to look it up either.

    Arguments like yours appear to have taken a political cause and regurgitated the same tired mantra that the entertainment industry has been pushing.

    I was hoping for more information, so the rest of us can 'citizen science' and reproduce this for ourselves. Then perhaps we can finally get somewhere real.

    Bottom line is the Earth has always been changing. We have only recently become aware of it. There's so many other potential sources for the change from errors in recording, to inaccurate equipment and methods from 100 to 200 years ago to misplaced instruments within cities that can break .78% variation in observations.

    The humans need to get over themselves and understand the planet is undergoing normal changes and there are people trying to make money from it.

  7. Finally someone gets more to the point.

    Can you tell me where to find the conditions the original experiments were performed to determine CO2 raises the temperature? I know it was measured in a greenhouse but how was the CO2 generated? What was the delivery mechanism? What were the controls?

    This is a very serious request: Where can we find the accurate details on how this experiment can be replicated?

    You're mis-stating the comparison:

    Ownership is an object you can legally or illegally control or keep in your possession. The product of design, specs and tooling produces an object you can control or posses.

    The product of source code is something you use or consume but not control, and are granted a license to posses, which can be revoked at any time. If however you own the source code and the rights that go with it then you own the product to be consumed.

    See how that works?

    consumption of that intellectual property without consent is theft.

    No. It's not. This is also far too broad of a definition of 'consumption without consent'. Consent is what exactly?

    It's not like driving some else's car, since in this case the original owner retains a copy; it's like taking some else's car design and using it to build your own car

    This is called a free market. You can't pass off your car as an original 'Chevy Malibu', but certainly all cars have 4 wheels, a steering wheel, turn signals etc.

    without their consent.

    Again, what, exactly, is consent here?

    Now, what I disagree with in this case is two private companies arranging a punishment based on someone's illegal activities. I believe whole-heartedly that punishment can only be at the hands of the justice system

    Of this I completely agree. In today's era of SJW activity it's hardly unusual.
