The ice caps are disappearing. Read the writing on the wall.
Originally posted by apathistAnd there will be much more wall to read the writing as more ice disappears. No problem though, right? Who cares if Florida disappears, becomes half its original size, we just move inland a bit, right? And just LOOK at all that new farm land that will happen in Montana and Canada, right?

All those marine creatures gone extinct, no big deal, something wi ...[text shortened]... farms I guess. Great for the previous genetic diversity, diversity Shmersity, who gives a shyte?
Originally posted by humyAssuming is your weak link. Learn to be open minded. Habitual assuming is a great fault of yours.
false; at least regarding your education specifically on science; just reading your moronic posts about science gives us all a very good clue.I have repeatedly refused to disclose my educational level.
And we very obviously all know why you refuse; you are certainly no science expert. Obviously, you refusing confirms this for there is no other creditable motive for your refusal.

You are assuming too. What is wrong with you? There are other skeptics that make a lot of sense and exposes falsehoods.
Originally posted by sonhouseNope. Skeptics have it right. They just don't get funding as often, that is why their point of view is being suppressed.

Nope. Skeptics have it right. They just don't get funding as often, that is why their point of view is being suppressed.
Originally posted by Metal BrainNo one gets grant funding just for being a skeptic. You need a testable hypothesis, and a realistic means to test it, and some preliminary evidence that your idea might be correct. There are a lot of researchers testing your solar flare idea, for example, but they're not considered skeptics. They're scientists. If you "have it right" as you say, you are not a skeptic.

Originally posted by Metal BrainI never said CO2 was the only cause of warming. Methane is 20 times stronger as a greenhouse gas and the only reason it is not dominant is because it is much less dense in the atmosphere, like hundreds of times less dense V CO2, now clocking in at 400 PPM and rising. Water vapor is also a greenhouse gas.
"Who said the "blame" was solely on CO2?"
Who is blaming anything else? Not humy or sonhouse.
"Interesting hypothesis about the sun. How should we test it?"
Time is the only test. You cannot test the past solar activity. Maybe the sun is why the ice ages are cyclical. Can you prove they are not. No, you cannot. Curb your own propaganda before whining about others.
Originally posted by wildgrassMany skeptics have tenure positions and that is the only reason they still have jobs in their fields. Skeptics without tenure find themselves unemployed much of the time.
