Hey dummy, it's 'giddyup' not 'giddle up'. Jeesh.

It is nice to see you doing a great job of Netcopping the NG.


I was wondering what "giddle up" was, but my innate politeness prevented
me from asking.

I will admit, though, that I was envisioning...pancakes.


You are just too nice. I could not resist though. ;-)

I was wondering too. Held off to see what comments would follow and
JimH straightened the mistake out.

Sometimes comfort trumps everything else. There's absolutely nothing you can
do about it.

Nobody "locked a scientist out of the discussion."

If that MIT guy wanted to discuss his scientific
observations which indicate that either global warming is
not happening, or is totally unconnected to man's
activities, that would have been fine. I would have been
quite interested to read them, because I've been asking for
such info a long time.

But he had no scienctific statements to offer at all. That
op-ed piece was a fact-free (actually a fact-contradictory)
screed that would have been right at home on the Rush
Limbaugh show. "Let's pretend liberals are still in charge
and whine about how they're f&^&ing everything up."

The guy even complained about being "intimidated" by Al
Gore, who had to hire a woman to coach him on being an alpha
male!

When you present some science, I'll be glad to read it. When
you (or Bert Robbins, whose posts I alomost never read)
present some BS right-wing blah-blah then you can expect it
to get the reception it deserves.

You do realize, don't you, Bill, that the warming is happening at a
pace that hasn't happened before?

How do we possible know that for a fact?


Ice borings.


Those ice borings show atmospheric CO2 content. They us NOTHING at all
about temperature.

Nope, ice borings show freeze/thaw cycles. See:

Now see what you started Bill? ;-) Everyone has an
opinion...................no one is going to change the opinion of
others.........as with politics and religion..........the beat goes
on................................

Of more importance to me at this moment..........I will be washing the
windows on the house tomorrow, replacing some exterior lighting wiring
and fixtures, getting the summer stuff out of the shed, getting the lawn
equipment started and putting the snow blower to bed.

Friday I haul my boat to the marina and start working on her.

It was a long winter (a tie in to the original topic).

Carry on folks.





We have so much rain, can not go boating in the rivers. Closed to boat
traffic. Can not finish the house painting. Raining. 28 of the last 29
days. Ma Nature must think we are Oregon. They require 10 dry days
before finishing the replaster of the pool. Maybe June?

Sorry to read that Bill.

I spent a lot of time in the SF/Oakland area and was able to see many of
the waterfront attractions in SF and Sausalito areas. How lucky you are
to live in such a nice area of the country, although you certainly pay the
price with housing and the general cost of living there.


I grew up here, so got used to the prices at a young age. Have also lived
in Dayton, OH and Biloxi, MS for employment and will pay the prices. But
since I bought my home in 1979, I owe very little.

How do you know it is happening at a faster or slower pace? The Wooly
Mammoths were flash frozen a while back. Had to be a fast change in
temperature with high winds associated with the temperature change.

I always took that as evidence of the Great Flood of Noah


Lots of convincing evidence of a great flood. South Americans have it in
their history. The mammoths were more likely gotten by a small meteorite.
Hit the earth, caused a wobble in the spin, and tthe dust cooled the day,
flash freezer.

Didn't see that there. Only this
"For example, scientists can determine temperature by analyzing the
ratio of different forms, or isotopes, of oxygen atoms in the core."

I wasn't aware that O isotopes were that temperature sensitive, to
detect changes in fractions of degrees. So I take back my NOTHING. But
I'd like to see data and methods. I've done a bit of work with fluid
inclusions in minerals - and ice is a mineral - but that work has a
pretty hefty margin of error.

Wait a minute. I just took a test on that. Wasn't it the Great Flood of
Moses?

It's part of the culture of academia debates. When some PhD presents a
paper outlining a particular theory, it is usually attacked with vengeance
by he's or her peers. The critics are not required to prove otherwise or
offer an opposing theory, but just to identify the flaws in the publisher's
theory or method of investigation, thus negating it's value. Crazy, but it
is a self-policing system that works in their circles.
