It wasn't directed at me, but if it were, I would look at that as a personal attack, and yet no mention was made of his word choices. I'm not going to debate Stardock's forum policy re conduct...it's not open to debate. If you look closely at the timeline of responses in t
"The people working on this "problem" aren't climatologists either, they're physicists, geologists, astronomers, meteorologists, paleo-climatologists." That was the last sentence of the third paragraph from post 823. I'm not arguing with the smartest guy on the planet. I mean, what's the point? And since I don't want to personally attack anyone, lemme say that I hope you aren't breeding either. Can't have too many people running
I think when someone says that he is smarter than scientists, which he DID say in this thread, or when they question why planetary scientists should be talking about climate, that speaks to their credibility in my opinion. Who goes around saying he is smarter than the experts in a particular discipline because he doesn't agree with their conclusions/politics? If he doesn't understand that physics is the same throughout the universe and that if a climate model works on Earth, t
[quote who="psychoak" reply="1145" id="3418486"] I have glasses, he's right on all points. Instead of spending all your effort telling others they don't understand what constitutes real science, you should actually read the foundations of their conclusions. It's spelled out pretty plainly for anyone that bothers to read the climate model evaluations. They claim 99% accuracy because they're able to model past changes, using the inf
Sorry...I've been away for a bit. Thanks for the replies, guys. @Uvah-yes. I believe that the Comodo code is "leaking" (I'm obviously a computer science genius :) ) into all FF code...which is annoying. I am leaning to deleting Ice Dragon and all the traces of Comodo on my PC. Thanks again to everyone.

Here is what the AGW faithers have brought us so far... A clearly biased IPCC report with all it's "suggestions" on how to fix the problem. Models that can't predict the future or past events. Links to pseudo scientists (i.e
I need some Comodo help here :). A few weeks ago, someone mentioned using Ice Dragon as a new browser. Because I am always looking for a better browser, I downloaded it. The issue is that it seems like Comodo is insidious (I had to delete it a few years ago for similar reasons). The invasive measures are twofold: 1) It gives me no choice over my search engine. If I type a search term in the omnibar that it does not recognize, it brings up

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="16" id="3415168"]...[/quote] Nahh. Kantok is right. No one forces you to use Steam. Use it or don't. Both choices are fine. If you don't want devs/publishers to use Steam, vote with your dollars. I'm voting with my dollars against EA. It won't make a difference for either one of us: they will still make money, and I will still have ways to entertain myself. The sun will still rise tomorrow.

The issue is heat retention, not heat generation. Mann, Trenberth, Briffa, Jones, et. al. have clearly stated that the cause of the warming is NOT the sun, hence it is NOT additional heat. That is not semantics. That is called s

[quote who="ChungasRevenge" reply="10" id="3412059"] The learning curve was a bit steeper than expected because certain game mechanics were not obvious to me initially. I am playing the campaign and on to my third scenario and I am enjoying the gameplay (approx 5-6 hours of play). The story is reasonably well done and there is a bit of to-and-thro within a single scenario which keeps it exciting. It brings the "perfect general" game play to modern computers. <br /

My understanding is that is in beta (0.5x at the moment) and the release date is in early November. Does it seem playable at this point? Playable by November? Or is this a pipe dream for the devs (a stable release candidate)? &nbs
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="949" id="3411694"] A number of different parties have carefully modeled the atmosphere of Venus. It turns out that if you dump a bunch of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, you get increases in temperature. Random bloggers on the internet might disagree, but this little bit of physics is so set in stone that I'm not even going to get into it. Disagreeing with basic physics is just stupid - Anthony Watt should have really just taken

So RP is does NOT state that AGW is false even though someone is implying he does...some would call that a lie, I think. In edit-Did you say religion? Let's see-AGW HAS a model, which, while flawed, attempts to show why the global temperature is increasing.
