Wilkins Ice Shelf under threat

The process for producing hydrogen for use in cars produces more pollution than the gasoline it replaces. -

You fail to understand science. You fail to understand the scientific process. The global warming priests' "experiments" cannot be tested to see if they are reproducible. Have you ever read a real scientific paper? You have to state every step in minute detail so others can reproduce your experiments. Computer models are not experiments. They can lead you to design better experiments, but are not experiments in themselves. An example- astrophysicists can make models of what happens inside stars. Their models give them ideas of what to look for out in space to prove their theory is true. The global warmers run their models and use them as proof. An example I did myself - I made yeast (the ones that cause yeast infections) glow with the luciferase gene that makes fireflies glow. From the literature, I found that the code for one amino acid in the yeast had to be changed for that species. I couldn't just say change the code and it will work. I had to go and do it. People did not really believe that space was warped by gravity as Einstein had postulated until someone did the experiment in 1918. During a total eclipse, they showed that the stars near the sun positions had shifted. This was due to the gravity of the sun warping space. This has also been shown on a greater scale by gravitational lenses caused by an entire galaxy. If we go extinct, so be it, if not, we will evolve into another species. -

Sit in the country and think about the billions and billions (even trillions if you include bacteria) of animals producing even more CO2 into the atmosphere by exhaling. Lets kill all the animals. Think about even one volcano producing more gasses than in one eruption than man can make in several years. -
Iran Ready To Share Nuclear Technology

And your side doesn't want us or Israel to go and bomb their facilities to the stone age. -

The religion of Global Warming does not use reproducible experiments to prove their points, the same as creationists. If we can't find an explanation for the warming, it must be man, the same as when the creationists say that a biological mechanism is so complicated (to them) that god must have created it. I want to know your backgrounds (why not give them?) to see if you actually know how real science is done. -

Answer my question- what is your scientific background? -
Newest thing out here is the fireplace cops. They have "spare the air"days when the pollution gets high. I can see it in the summer. Now they say if there are certain conditions (seems like it only happens when it's cold (it is getting down to the low 40s here)at night that they are banning using your fireplace or wood burning stove unless it is your only source of heat. They have "fireplace cops" going around on those nights to look for smoke from chimneys and will fine you.

Need any more proof that "Christmas" is out of hand?

I think someone is approaching menopause. (ducks to avoid being hit with the dishes) -

Right Mr "WTC7 was an inside job". What science background do you have exactly? And Elliot, I'm still waiting for you to reply too. I agree with Tom, global warming may be happening (I'm still on the fence with this because of the location of reporting stations on places like roofs, next to AC units, etc), but the people who treat it as a religion have shown no scientifically verifiable and reproducible proof that it is man caused. Computer models are not scientific proof. -
The Raiders tried it today where the holder tossed it under his leg. Same result as in the Nebraska game. Only KC TD so far today.

Elliot, You too can also belong to the AAAS and the ASM (I'll let you figure out which ones they are) if you subscribe to the journal Science or any of the ASM journals. I did when I was in grad school. What the hell is the ASM doing having an opinion on global warming? -

Why don't you tell us your background which appears to me to be a DNC parrot and someone that can cut and paste from web sites? What science courses have you taken (if any)? -
Cripes - what is the matter with people?

The Toys R US shooting , they said was not over a toy. Two women started fighting and then their guys did. Likely a gang thing, as the store is not in a good neighborhood. -
Out here in CA you have to anchor the water heater to the wall with straps because of quakes and in most towns, you have to have it inspected.

Connor and Elliot, what are your science backgrounds? I am a biologist and Tom is a physicist. We know what the scientific method is and the man-made global warming crowd is now a religion. -

I think it was you Connor who said he had no science background. Please discuss science when you have learned some. That holds even if you have had some classes. -

Consensus does not = proven science Show me actual scientific experiments that can prove that we are causing it and I will believe it. The earth has actually cooled the last 8 or nine years. Recently they said that October was the warmest on record. Seems like they actually used the September data twice! -

And the South pole itself is cooling. Did you know that Antarctica has several active volcanoes and was once a jungle? Of course ice will break off as new ice is sliding down to the ocean. So it warmed from -100 to-95. Couldn't the volcano cause the warming? -
Nebraska tried a fake field goal yesterday. While the ball was snapped, the kicker rolled out to the right. The holder got it and flipped it over his shoulder and the kicker was supposed to grab it out of the air. The kicker was not in the correct place and it would have bounced in front of him, but the Colorado rusher grabbed it out of the air and ran for a TD!

It's almost summer there, It's going to get warmer. The sheet is in one of the most northern portions of the continent, thence it will be warmer. There is an active volcano under the ice sheet nearby that lubricates the ice flowing to the sea and is probably warming the water there. -
Have a nice nap. Ran across it while changing stations on the car radio once and I almost fell asleep at the wheel.

His avatar is the woman in Heroes (I don't know her name). SDS showed us pictures of his wife's abs after they had his son and before she was pregnant with his daughter. His wife is in great shape.

We can sure try our best. It's a real Happy Thanksgiving for those Americans in Bombay today. Should we have just talked with Hitler and Tojo? This is a world war against those that hate the west and non Islamic ruled countries. Every country should treat it as such. Once they wipe out the infidels, they'll go after the sects that don't agree with them.
