Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

AGW was not "invented for the purpose of installing dictatorships in North America". This is a classic strawman. If the Cultural Marxists succeed in making N.America and Europe into dictatorships they'll turn off the anti warming crusade like a light switch, won't need it anymore. Arg! So confused!...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

Strawman is a way to discredit someone by pretending they hold positions which they do not. Like saying that people who believe AGW is fallacy are conspiracy theory nuts. Sounds familiar? Umm: I have no difficulty believing in massive global conspiracies Besides, what else do you call the idea that...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

And if we have a genuine crisis, environmental or otherwise, what on level of evidence or expertise is considered enough to validate the crisis as real? No expertise is required. Proof is sufficient. To give you couple of examples: Asteroid hits earth causing global winter. The crater is sufficient...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

That was the plan! Brilliant, wasn't it? A livable minimum wage would have been impossible to push through Congress, so, lucky for us, 121 years ago our Marxist predecessors... yada yada... Strawman much? KitemanSA - thanks for bringing it up. There are several popular ways of winning an argument w...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

AGW is no conspiracy. It is a regular fallacy fueled by positive feedback between government hungry for expansion and people who are willing to provide an excuse for it and gain prestige and funding in the course. What government are you referring to? All of them? Not all of them, only in governmen...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

Why is a worldwide conspiracy of a huge number of scientist so easy to believe. Do you know anyone who seriously believes in "a worldwide conspiracy of a huge number of scientist "? The whole idea of a "worldwide conspiracy" is pretty much self contradictory. How can you keep a secret if "huge numb...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

Which was roundly debunked... The AGW church "debunks" everything that does not conform to the doctrine. It does not even shy from "Policy Based Evidence Making". Sometimes they can be even right, but the more they have to "debunk" , by creating satellite theories to why the evidence does not match...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

In the end do you not want to believe AGW because you honestly believe that there is a massive global conspiracy to make up and misinterpret the data [/quote] I see you are big fan of conspiracies, but I think you are preaching to the wrong audience. AGW is a fallacy because it does not stand up to...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

Let me clarify. If something is very complex to the point that additional theories must be invented to keep it afloat, then it is unlikely to be true. In AGW additional theories are needed to explain why: - the pole ice is melting while south pole is growing. CO2 is pretty much 400 ppm in both cases...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

Switching subjects a bit, I'm a bit worried about our future. The present day world is absolutely dependent on technology, and that technology is dependent on its underlying science. I perceive a movement, a shift, what seems to be an increasing number of people rejecting science, from the anti-vac...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

You know, I was a global warming skeptic too, until about ten years back (a bit after reading Michael Chichton's novel, State Of Fear, in which climate change activism plays a big part), what I have never been is very interested in persuading anyone else, neither before nor after. Interesting you s...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

A journolist goes to Allepo, looks at the destruction and draws the conclusions : Climate change is to blame! I haven't seen that one coming :lol: . How much more ridiculous the AGW needs to become to be laughed out of existence? http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-stier-climate-change-and-sy...

Re: LENR Is Real

My curiosity is peaked regarding the SRI work. My initial take is 'interesting, worth a closer look'. My immediate question regards the separation of Church and State between SRI and Brillioun. This is indeed very interesting. One thing that intrigues me is that of the physics is there then it is m...
