Yet, you know the first thing many like to do is attack the messenger, or the message. I'm quite open minded about mysticism, but your comment provoked this opposing thought: "The first thing many [messengers] like to do is accused people of attacking the messenger" For no reason in particular, the...

I agree regarding some hype issues. However, many consumers deny the unsustainable, and we don't want to end up like the Rapa Nui, of Easter Island or worse. I choose instead to begin making changes, and perhaps, a more conservative approach than just using denial. As I said, each must decide what t...

I just read this article on potential Anthropocene mass extinction : http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20427281.300-posthuman-earth-how-the-planet-will-recover-from-us.html?DCMP=NLC-nletter&nsref=mg20427281.300 Perhaps a 13 year old's visions are not so far off the mark for potential futures? Ye...

I have generally found that no matter if presented facts or otherwise, people don't generally change . They typically only reinforce there viewpoints. It is not for me to convince you. You asked and I gave you the truth. I'm personally relieved that you have lost faith. Seek the truth for yourself. ...

However you brought up ~400 ppm. Which could only have come from a model. Actually that is funny you brought that up and now we come full circle with the beginning of this post. I was unconcerned about the climate, always thought of it in terms that we had time to deal with it. That was before I le...

You presume I'm using models to validate my claim. I understand their incompleteness. In fact that is one of my points that I make that many processes work together to change the climate. It isn't just a CO2 problem. Now, CO2 can create a forcing, but as already indicated, so can other natural sourc...

When you say nyquist, I being in electronics think of sampling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist-Shannon_sampling_theorem Not following. Look lets not worry about this debate it is in being dealt with both domestically and internationally, and we would each look toward ourselves to decide how we...

Agreed, perhaps a bit of a cheap shot. But, many religions are taking up the cause: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090930/climate_change_090930/20090930?hub=SciTech Yes, that is the fear, that the economy will be crippled. Yet, it is important to take a smaller hit now, than t...

Well FE, I guess I don't have to listen to you because all you will do is quote from the left wing propaganda machine watermelons. This is about science, however the motives behind why people pick a position is really beside the point. Let's look at it this way. If you are right and CO2 isn't a pro...

MSimon, I enjoy a good debate as any other. However, it would be a waste of time in this case. You are just pulling examples of just a few areas that the climate change deniers use. Some of them like to also quote from the Heartland institute, a right wing propaganda machine. You even have internati...

Ah if it was only that easy. Too bad there is more data than that which supports the claim that we are causing anthropogenic global warming. I'm sure most scientific people have the basic physics understanding to know the solar radiative trapping of GHG gases in the atmosphere. Without it, according...

I received a letter from the DOE on Sept 10, 2009 where the associate Director of the office of science for the office of fusion energy sciences basically told me that "we invest over $400 million a year in fusion energy...ITER will produce the world's first sustained burning plasma, which will hope...

No research on her part, she really is just a young artist/musician. Not a hunch per se. A hunch being an intuitive feeling, something many of us rely on to help solve problems. She talks about abilities beyond that. As I mentioned, I love physics. I'm old and studied it most of my life, and I have ...

Thanks for that reply. I'm calm now. Btw, off subject but here is a link to some publications back in its day from one university: http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/ I love science, and I find it interesting to push the frontiers of it. I especially like particle physics. I find its limits as related t...

I think you questions are disingenuous and a thin veil for your contempt to what I offered. Why don't you be direct. Or is a smugness that you sit from. I already apologized to all that I may offend. Beyond that, you should take no pride in badgering me on this. If I misread you, then I offer anothe...
