Earth has heated and cooled for it whole life. What did man do to cause the last Ice Age about 15,000 years ago? The mini ice age 500 years ago? And the warming afterwards? It does not matter what has happened and how it happened in the past. We are talking about the CURRENT situation. That's why the right's insistence that it isn't man made is non-think. Now the past does not matter in global warming and history does not enter into science. I am not sure I want you engineering a building for me. You would ignore codes, etc as they are based on history. Uh, no not really. Codes are based on known strengths, stresses, strains, etc. And you use the CURRENT code. Using your analogy, you'd want me to design by a standard that was a few million years old. Nope, what I said if history did not matter. You would be designing to codes at are as first written. They would not be changed because of history. Exactly the opposite of what you stated. The problem here is simple. *I* was talking about a specific problem, not problems in general. As far as the topic I was discussing, history does not matter. Why? Simple. Because the cataclysmic events that shaped the climate at a given point in time doesn't matter anymore. What does a history that involves things like super volcanoes, giant meteors hitting earth, etc. have to do with man made pollution and it's affects on climate that is occuring right now? If history doesn't matter, why look back 140 years? WHOOSH! Or, why use Bush as an excuse for everything Obama does? -- The same reason why Clinton is an excuse for everything Bush does! Bush doesn't do. Obama does. Using Bush as the justification for Obama's actions doesn't say much for Obama, does it? -- John H As usual. Anything liberal = lying, blaming, nothing good everything bad Anything conservative = complete honesty, never blaming, everything wonderful. From where came that? My comment had to do with the use of Bush as a rationale for Obama's behavior. -- John H It's impossible to rationalize Oh-Bah-Mah's behavior. True. But the liberal fall back is to compare to Bush. Can't figure out why they don't just discuss his behavior as is. Embarrassed? -- John H And the conservative fallback is to blame it on Clinton. |

Bush doesn't do. Obama does. Using Bush as the justification for Obama's actions doesn't say much for Obama, does it? -- John H As usual. Anything liberal = lying, blaming, nothing good everything bad Anything conservative = complete honesty, never blaming, everything wonderful. From where came that? My comment had to do with the use of Bush as a rationale for Obama's behavior. -- John H It's impossible to rationalize Oh-Bah-Mah's behavior. True. But the liberal fall back is to compare to Bush. Can't figure out why they don't just discuss his behavior as is. Embarrassed? -- John H And the conservative fallback is to blame it on Clinton. Conservative fallback to what? Bush isn't in office, so it's for sure no one is trying to defend him. Besides, is that rationale supposed to explain Obama's behavior? -- John H The only person who can explain Obama's behavior is Obama. Now that's the damn truth! -- John H |

It does not matter what has happened and how it happened in the past. We are talking about the CURRENT situation. That's why the right's insistence that it isn't man made is non-think. Now the past does not matter in global warming and history does not enter into science. I am not sure I want you engineering a building for me. You would ignore codes, etc as they are based on history. Uh, no not really. Codes are based on known strengths, stresses, strains, etc. And you use the CURRENT code. Using your analogy, you'd want me to design by a standard that was a few million years old. Nope, what I said if history did not matter. You would be designing to codes at are as first written. They would not be changed because of history. Exactly the opposite of what you stated. The problem here is simple. *I* was talking about a specific problem, not problems in general. As far as the topic I was discussing, history does not matter. Why? Simple. Because the cataclysmic events that shaped the climate at a given point in time doesn't matter anymore. What does a history that involves things like super volcanoes, giant meteors hitting earth, etc. have to do with man made pollution and it's affects on climate that is occuring right now? If history doesn't matter, why look back 140 years? WHOOSH! Or, why use Bush as an excuse for everything Obama does? -- The same reason why Clinton is an excuse for everything Bush does! Bush doesn't do. Obama does. Using Bush as the justification for Obama's actions doesn't say much for Obama, does it? -- John H As usual.
