You also wouldn't get tenure if you were a holocaust denier in the field of history.

Yeah, of course bastardized science is dangerous, but not all science is bastardized. Unfortunately, a lot of people (not saying you) feel like any science that flies in the face of their beliefs is automatically tainted, and dismissed out of hand... That's equally dangerous, and I'm sure you'd...

I'm not, and this is a pretty simple spec. I've had to learn a lot with this job.

Where did you find one? Any more?

Those grants come from Exxon and British Petroleum lol. The whole idea of the grants is that they go to a person for continuation of research, not with the intention of "proving" something. My wife has received numerous grants, and never has there ever been any type of stipulation on what...

lol, read shit like this all day and tell me you wouldn't do the same! 1. An electric power transmission system for communications, comprising: a main switch for turning on or off high-voltage AC (alternating current) power transmitted from a transmission grid; a plurality of on/off switches...

Actually that's only true for a small percentage of climatologists. The majority work independently funded by universities, and operate on a research budget (usually pretty meager). Grants can be applied for, but they are few and far between, and have zero stipulations for doctoring evidence...

That's how it always happens. Hey did you hear the one about the abortion doctor?

I don't think it does matter, I don't think capitalism, industrialism, communism, and environmentalism are compatible. You will need to back up this claim though. "Human activity which produces greenhouse gases is simply nowhere near the scale to have such an effect."

Nope, that was T-Roy that diverted the thread this time. Scroll back a few pages for irrefutable proof. ;)

Actually @T-Roy was the person to make the transition.

So what you're saying is that there aren't any scientists that do good, unbiased work..is that correct? Professionals trained in the field are somehow inept and it's the basement science nerds that will crawl out of their parent's basements and save the world from tomfoolery right? Is this a...

lol, I don' think so. If you're charting a stock instead of temperature, what do you see? It's a classic trendline over 130 years.

For one, C02 isn't the only thing we're pumping out that'll cause issues. Also, there is no recovery from human production of carbon dioxide. It's a steady, and increasing release into the atmosphere. A volcano is a one and done for a century or longer event. Equilibrium is reached in other...

Yeah, except volcanoes spew forth known substances, all of which are naturally occurring. Some are incredibly toxic, but seriously don't degrade what has been a good argument on your part with "volcanoes".

This is a relatively small, but very important slice of time. It shows a slice of human history that has seen the largest increase in industrialization ever. I used to be involved in commodities trading, and if I'd seen a trendline like this, I'd be looking to bet the farm on what was coming...

I'd assume you'd agree that natural changes would be gradual yes? What we have witnessed is far from gradual, and doesn't point to any particular natural cycle.

Of course not, but it certainly may be causation.

You can certainly calculate the effects of gravity without understanding what gives an object mass. No matter what you believe, it's a pretty tough sell to be peddling the "there's no way that billions of the worst kinds of parasites are having zero affect" rhetoric.

It's obviously a product of both. Post industrial stats point to a pretty blatantly obvious trend.
