    That's because you're a creationist

  4. Re:Mass extinction waits for no-one on Scientists Race To Save Miami Coral Doomed By Dredging · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Your statement is one large fallacy: Post hoc ergo propter hoc "It came after therefore it was caused by"

    The CO2 changes in the atmosphere are neither rapid nor unprecedented. Also, the clear witness of ice cores is that rises and falls in CO2 in the atmosphere are a centuries delayed response to climatic warming and cooling. Since 97% of CO2 is from natural sources, the man-made contribution is tiny compared to the natural evolution of CO2 from our oceans which originated in the Medieval Warm Period.

    Using Henry's Law only works if there is carbon dioxide equilibrium between the ocean and the atmosphere. There isn't.

    It's a shame no-one noticed but me.

    "...than normal..."

    We see the problem right there in that statement.

    But clearing the underbrush causes CO2 to be produced causing temperatures to rise...

  8. Re:Meanwhile, in reality world... on Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans As Antarctic Ice Melts · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Ah, nothing like quoting an anti-AGW blog as if it were the equivalent of a published article"

    Ah nothing like quoting Skeptical Science or Real Climate or DeSmogBlog or HughPickensDOTcom, because those are outlets of pure unvarnished truth that no sane man may object to.

    In fact the WUWT article points to an article in "The Australian" and quotes the NSIDC.

    I assume you get your answers from Genesis because you like things handed down as Holy Writ, probably because its easier than thinking. Climate alarmism is deeply religious and very much creationism without all of the messy stuff about Cain and Abel.

    Like "The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is 50 below zero, so how is it melting?"

    But that's for people who understand science and critical thinking, something you're not capable of.

  9. "Cuethedeniers" on Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans As Antarctic Ice Melts · · Score: 0

    Why bother allowing people to comment if you're going to insult them with reference to Holocaust Denial?

    Alternatively, exactly who died that a claim of climate modellers about future events became Holy Writ that may not be challenged or questioned?

  10. Re: Motivated rejection of science on Wyoming Is First State To Reject Science Standards Over Climate Change · · Score: 1

    That's right, because before 1950 climate was stable.

    "Motivated reasoning" - the new phrase for "Possessed by the Devil"

  12. Re:Activist investors on Stanford Getting Rid of $18 Billion Endowment of Coal Stock · · Score: 1

    Refusing to invest in coal industries does not help reduce carbon emissions and pollution one jot. If there's ever a polluting industry it would be the so-called renewables which use rare earths and cause massive pollution.

  14. HughPickensDOTScare on Scientists Race To Develop Livestock That Can Survive Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Is there a sweetheart deal for Slashdot's owners to post every deranged end-of-the-world scare story from HughPickens?

    Inquiring minds would like to know, because every single scare story has been rebutted many times (although Slashdot never gets to see those stories because the debunkers are in league with the devil/big oil/republicans/illuminati/adam sandler (delete as appropriate))

    The modern term for this is "motivated reasoning" but in the past it was called "moral hazard" or "moral depravity". Different words, same result - an attack on the motivation of the person who denies the coming Apocalypse/Judgement Day/Zombie Outbreak (delete as appropriate)

    In Russia they have a word for this: Lysenkoism

    "Red meat offers very little and is harmful to the human body in many ways.".

    Yes the harm it does to Olympic athletes and cyclists is a warning for everybody. Nobody needs iron, zinc and those fat-soluble vitamins from meat if Walgreens has them in little bottles.

  17. Re:Time to shift gears for the human race on Scientists Race To Develop Livestock That Can Survive Climate Change · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You could start by cracking a book or three and realising that we've been through end-of-the-world-unless-we-repent apocalyptic scares for as long as man has been upright.

  18. Re:are you kidding? on Scientists Race To Develop Livestock That Can Survive Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, the CO2/Water vapor feedback coeffient - the entirely made-up non-physical fudge factor that turns a rise in an essential trace gas from pimple to asteroid-hitting-the earth scariness.

    "There is a reason that energy boards treat modeling as an adversarial process. It is more like lawyering then science"

    Whatever it is, it's not science.

    Luxury. We used assembly language on the Z80 - where if you POKE'd the wrong address the OS would crash. This was before Microsoft introduced win.com which could do the crashing for you.

    According to Nichols, she wanted to leave the show but Dr Martin Luther King persuaded her to stay in it. For some reason he thought that representing black people in the future was important.

    I also want to say that in her 80s, as she is now, she is still one damn fine woman.

    Yes of course it does.
