Not even close. Blue whales alone generate pressure levels around the same level as modern SONAR systems, and the pressures generated from propeller cavitation can easily exceed that of SONAR. And yes, I was a SONAR engineer.
So, you cannot point to the last time the Federal debt dropped. Instead you'll play the "budget surplus" game which does not really mean a real surplus. On paper, we had a surplus - but we still accumulated more debt. On paper, I can make my monthly budget balance - but by keeping some expenses "off budget" I can still accumulate more debt. Was I really "balanced"? Only on paper, with the exclusion of some of my expenses...
Again - can you point to the last time we had an actual surplus? You know, more income than expenses so our national debt decreased? Take a look - it was back in the Eisenhower Administration.
"It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong" - Freeman Dyson.
NONE of the models in the IPCC come close to predicting the current pause in temperature (nearly 17 years long at this point) - meaning those theories put together by all the smart people are wrong. That's science. When facts and theory collide, theory should lose.
That's not religion, that's not creationism, that's fundamental science. Something that Dyson really understands - and anyone who says otherwise shows they do not
....and lets not forget, dumbfuck, that when Clinton left office there was a projected 10 year surplus of ~5.6 trillion dollars
Can you point to the last year in which the national debt actually decreased - meaning we had an actual surplus? HINT: start with the Eisenhower Administration.
Oh, is that based on the Time news cover back then? That's cute. I also get all my knowledge of those devious "hackers" from the mainstream media as well.
Survey of 68 Scientific Studies from 1965 to 1979, 10% predicted cooling, 62% predicted warming, 28% had no stance. Today, more than 97% scientist agree on warming.
Oh yes, that 97% consensus study from Cooks that is really just 0.3% consensus. Great appeal to an imaginary authority!
Cool - good to know that President Obama and Senator Harry Reid (Occupant of the White House and Senate Majority Leader, respectively) are fundies, since we're going to war with Syria. And I guess President Bush is not a fundie, given that he told Israel to "hold fast and suck it up" whilst Scud missiles were falling on them.
I just had a really good lunchtime conversation with a pair of my coworkers, and we used my Galaxy Note II as a quick sketchpad for some ideas - and then directly e-mailed those sketches to all of us for later followup.
Turns out that being able to quickly draw and capture the drawing is a nice thing. I use it that way a dozen times a day, instead of a paper pad. I can capture my notes and ideas electronically and save them, no need for binders of paper.
Unless you're a little farsighted, which really isn't a problem at all for 99% of life, but makes it difficult to focus on things closer than 30cm. Like a tiny screen on a phone.
Maybe they are like me (I am not deaf). I talk ~15 minutes a month (TOPS), but do dozens to low hundreds of texts and e-mails every day on my phone. Communication isn't just verbal. I like have an LED that flashes discretely on my desk, rather than a buzzer. It doesn't interrupt the music streaming on my desk nearly as much...
60% increase. Yet no relevant data for scale to understand the shift. No wonder someone else called it 'technically true'.
An interesting look at the data. Note that 2013 is within 2 standard deviations of the last 30 years' moving average. In other words - we're at "normal".
Also note that antarctic ice (the big ice sheet) is ABOVE historical norms and above the 2 s.d. window...
So my wife (Mandarin speaking, born and raised in Shanghai) was just pulling my leg all the times we went to Hong Kong and Shenzhen and she couldn't understand Cantonese... Good to know!

Of course. It Just Works... ;)
I prefer a swallow. African at that.
Approximately one order of magnitude more effort than your estimate... ;)

Simple question: has the global average temperature changed over the last 200 months in any statistically significant way?

There is no pause. Please inform yourself - it's embarrassing.
Some information for you: Scientific American: Is the Pacific Ocean Responsible for a Pause in Global Warming?
NPR: A Cooler Pacific May Be Behind Recent Pause In Global Warming
USA Today: Pacific Ocean cools, flattening global warming
But maybe the UK Met Office admitting it's been flat for 16 years, or just looking at the HADCRUT4 data would be a better source?

When "scientists" don't behave like scientists (and Dyson should know how a scientist behaves), it should give EVERYONE pause.

Now for real science:

And you know this - how?
You just made Joe Walsh shed a tear...

Really? You want a stylus? What is this, 1997?

I like the way my Galaxy Note II does it - small, unobtrusive, and multi-colored to tell me what kind of notification it is.

Random graphs from random blogs proves your point how?
More data with sources from Government labs and such. Arctic ice levels are within historical 30 year norms, and antarctic ice is above historical 30 year norms.
The actual data says differently. We're within the normal range for arctic ice - and above normal for antarctic ice.

The last thing I want is 220VAC located in close proximity to my nether regions and copious supplies of water...
