DC Tom Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Now 'Global Warming' Shrinking Reindeer! "The reindeer starve, aborting their calves or giving birth to much lighter young," said the BES. Reindeer numbers have increased over the past two decades, said the research team, so greater competition for food likely also contributed to their smaller size. So...reindeer are shrinking, which cuts into the birth rate, because...reindeer herds are growing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'm pretty sure there's some science related to pig nipples. But the last thing I'm going to do is google "pig nipple science" to find out. I wouldn't worry about it. If reports are true, that's actually fairly standard usage of a government computer. You're likely tripping a search screen by not doing exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Ah yes, this thread. Hanging around, while it ranks between #22-27 on the American people's list of important issues, which basically means it's not on that list at all. I wonder when this thread will end? Perhaps time kills it? Certainly the left had a great political vehicle in it, and its hard to give that up. But, given the election, they don't get to decide when it dies. I remember when the Rain Forest was the big issue. Nobody talks about it now. Is that because it stopped being the "lungs of the world"? Or because it stopped getting the media ratings?

OCinBuffalo Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Still haven't figured out how to sift the message and source huh? Still waiting for you to disprove the scientific analysis, from a team of scientists that includes 2 Nobel laureates, that debunks the 3 main premises behind the Global Warming theory. These 3 are the same premises behind the EPA's regulations, AND, IPCC policy. They used 13 different data sets, and mathematically proved that not only is Global Warming bunk, but that the modeling used to prove it is bunk. You've had since September to disprove their work. Why are we waiting? The difference between these scientists, and the Global Warming liars, is that they put ALL their data, and their methodology, on the internet, for free. Go look it up. I'm not giving you a link, precisely because you can easily search for this work for yourself. read it yourself, and download their paper yourself, all for free. It simply requires you to act. Act. I dare you to act. Do your own work. Read the paper. If you can use the internet to get here, you can certainly find the paper I'm talking about. Contrast: If you want the Global Warming version of "science", you have to pay, a lot, and you have to be somebody who already agrees with the results. Which "science" should we believe? The people who are completely transparent, or, the sanitation engineer's famous friends who refuse to expose their work to scrutiny?

B-Man Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) House probe: Obama attacked own scientists to advance climate agenda By John Siciliano The Obama administration engaged in a calculated effort to dismantle an Energy Department program so it could focus on meeting the goals of the president's climate change agenda, even going as far as to fire scientists that disobeyed strict orders not to talk to members of Congress, according to a Tuesday report issued by the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. The report showed the administration even attacked one of its own Energy Department scientists who stepped out of line with strict orders to deny lawmakers with information on a nuclear radiation program that it was seeking to scuttle to pursue its global warming programs more aggressively. "Instead of working to understand the value of the [radiation program] for emergency situations, [Energy Department] management engaged in a campaign to terminate research programs that could divert funds from the President's Climate Action Plan," the House committee's report said. "Management and senior DOE employees privately discussed congressional support for the [radiation program] and its nexus to regulatory limits yet still maintained their agenda to close the program." The report concluded that the Energy Department's actions are a reflection of an "institutional problem that must be corrected by overhauling its management practices with respect to its relationship with the Congress," it read. "Instead of providing the type of scientific information needed by Congress to legislate effectively, senior departmental officials sought to hide information, lobbied against legislation, and retaliated against a scientist for being forthcoming," said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the committee. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/house-probe-obama-attacked-own-scientists-to-advance-climate-agenda/article/2610126#.WFoASGWgNV8.twitter ANALYSIS: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

B-Man Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Good...................let's see how Mr Mann likes it when his case gets to court............ Appeals Court Rules Climate Scientist Can Pursue Defamation Claims Against Critics Michael Mann, known for his work on the “hockey stick” analysis of global warming, can proceed with defamation claims against writers who called him the “the Jerry Sandusky of climate science” and characterized his work as fraudulent. https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/appeals-court-rules-climate-scientist-can-pursue-defamation?utm_term=.jl7qVWnpJ#.qe73LzJlG Check out the bizarre statement by the judge in this ruling..........................very illustrative Judge Vanessa Ruiz wrote for the three-judge appeals panel: “Tarnishing the personal integrity and reputation of a scientist important to one side may be a tactic to gain advantage in a no-holds-barred debate over global warming. That the challenged statements were made as part of such debate provides important context and requires careful parsing in light of constitutional standards. But if the statements assert or imply false facts that defame the individual, they do not find shelter under the First Amendment simply because they are embedded in a larger policy debate.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 More good news! The renewable energy future will arrive when installing a new solar panels is cheaper than a comparable investment in coal, natural gas or other options. If you ask the World Economic Forum (WEF), the day has arrived. Solar and wind is now the same price or cheaper than fossil fuels in more than 30 countries, the WEF reported in December (pdf). As prices for solar and wind power continue their precipitous fall, two-thirds of all nations will reach the point known as “grid parity” within a few years, even without subsidies. “Renewable energy has reached a tipping point,” Michael Drexler, who leads infrastructure and development investing at the WEF, said in a statement. “It is not only a commercially viable option, but an outright compelling investment opportunity with long-term, stable, inflation-protected returns.” http://qz.com/871907/2016-was-the-year-solar-panels-finally-became-cheaper-than-fossil-fuels-just-wait-for-2017/ Great article. Most of the barriers to further progress are political, surprise surprise. But prices are falling and in the not too distant future solar, wind and other clean energy will be winning the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I was trying to go Solar, but after doing research, it turns out that I won't be saving any money at all, AND I had to climb up to the roof to clean the things twice a year. So I thought... it's not worth the reduced carbon footprint (which turned out to also be null after factoring in panel production), even if I can't rub my environmental smugness in my neighbor's faces.

Source? I've been telling people for years "What's the carbon footprint of production? Do you even know? I always get a gatoresque "Doesn't matter! Shut up!" answer. Wife and I just had this discussion again today...I had to explain that, while solar power is cheaper on an operational basis, between installation (including rewiring the entire house) and the fact that we have no practical south-facing installation location mean we'd recoup the the installation costs in about 40 years. Were I building new, I'd plan on solar (and geothermal - turns out Virginia's pretty good for geothermal heating and cooling) from the start. But retrofitting solar to my 70-year old house is prohibitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Putting solar panels on your rooftop looks like you've put a hodgepodge series of toaster ovens and colanders up there.
