Well, if you look at it from a thermodynamic standpoint, as I do, if we are in the warming PHASE of a heat cycle, then we really aren't warming up. You have to step back and look a series of cycles, and evaluate corresponding points on each cycle. If you chart the corresponding points on each cycle, and there is an increase from cycle to cycle, then you could say the earth is warming.

The problem with that is that if you step back far enough to look at it over an even longer perspective, they are finding that there are cycles within cycles within cycles.....So how can you possibly look at the cycle we are in now and say the Earth is warming?

It is far too complex for any climatologist to say for certain what is happening, other than the climate is changing, which is exactly what it has been doing since the Earth had enough atmosphere to have a climate.

I agree with you, though, that the biggest problem with GW is the minions of ignorant humanity that will buy into anything thrown at them by the Leftist Propagandists who seek to control them. It is very disheartening to me, as I constantly have to de-program my own kid from the drivel that is force-fed her from the government run school she goes to (this is the only reason I would want to be "rich"--so I could afford to educate her properly). Lucky enough for me my kids are pretty smart, and if I only accomplish one more thing in my life, I want it to be making sure that they think for themselves.

Yikes. What happened to my sentences...?

It looks like your brain discharged faster than your fingers could key in what you were thinking.

What were you thinking?

Better get some sleep, Sionnsar.

Those brainstorms can leave your hypothalamus soggy.

[NicknamedBob]

Yep, cycles within cycles within cycles.

It's worse than an Archimedian orrery.

Scientists just recently discovered an eighty-eight year cycle recorded in Nile flooding activity. Add this to Kondratieff waves, the eleven year sunspot activity cycle, and other phenomena, and you have a very confusing hodge-podge.

Unfortunately, we don't have measured datapoints for anything other than some temperatures and the sunspot activity. But even in those we see more correlation between solar activity and the Earth's temperature than we do the measurements for carbon dioxide.

Oh, wise guy eh?? Say hello to LE for me.

"IA, I haven't a clue."

You don't need one. We're pretty much clueless, here.

CG posting at night, on Saturday????????

This must be a first.

I Singh I

[stephenjohnbanker]

Where did you go wrong??

[Conspiracy Guy]

good to see you're here. food is ready. catcha later

[NicknamedBob]

My theory is, he ran out of beer.

[Conspiracy Guy]

plenty of beer. lots of wild turkey. can't type. food is ready.

[tuliptree76]

Now everyone's gone. Guess I can tiptoe in and quietly ping the list when nobody's looking...

I'm here now. Although, it's Saturday night and I should be working...

[tuliptree76]

:-o

Hi CG! :-)

[stephenjohnbanker]

"plenty of beer. lots of wild turkey. can't type. food is ready."

The man has the world by the scrotum......I think he just popped in to say hello : )

[NicknamedBob]

"Where did you go wrong??"

I'm not sure my planet rotates properly. Some indications are it should be tidally locked, but that's too boring.

I never did say what it's gravitational quotient was, or even the atmospheric pressure. It just doesn't seem right that its climate is so mild without an explanation why.

Was that a mistake?

And that's just the beginning ...

[stephenjohnbanker]

Good evening Tulip!

CG just dropped in to make us gossip about him : )

[stephenjohnbanker]

Please say no more...............aw what the hell, go ahead and say it : )

[NicknamedBob]

I probably have the timeline all futzed up. Not that it matters.

What's a couple of centuries either way before the central character strolls onstage?


And then there's all that horrendous poetry. Ye gods!


"Mistakes, I've made a few ..." at least I'm not singing.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Sinatra aside, I would guesstimate I have made at least 32,667 mistakes. But yet here I am.
