Well, if the HC is suggesting that Global Warming is causing changes
in Poison Ivy, I meerely suggest that folks get a second opinon before
stating it as fact. That was my point, you want to fight, go ahead.
Again, I am out of this pee pee contest, I know what I know.


You don't know what you don't know. Everyone agrees that the planet's
getting warmer. The debate is about whether human activity in one of the

Can you explain why Mars is getting warmer at the same rate Earth is
getting warmer?


Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator. That thing uses a ton of

Oh please, no one knows the rate that Mars is warming. Hell, we have over a hundred years of weather
station data here on Earth, tree ring data, ice cores, etc. and science still isn't sure of our climate
mechanisms. If from the limited data we have on Mars, you think you have a handle on it's climate, you
are fooling yourself.

Harry,
You spend more time making posts about those people in your "bozo bin",
than most people do about all subjects that interest them. If you
really had these people in your "bozo bin" or really did want to ignore
them, you really would just ignore them.

Come on, Tom. " Jupiter is undergoing major climate change and could lose many of its large spots over
the next seven years, only to make way for the creation of fresh spots in a decades-long cycle, according
to a new explanation of old mysteries."

That seems about right, seeing that it's orbit takes 4332.71 days to complete. Saturn's orbit takes 29
years, and Uranus 84 years. Now if you want to put any changes in their "climates" to changes in the
sun's output, and not variations in their normal "seasons", fine. Hell, Uranus was discovered in 1781.
That means we've been "viewing" it for less than 3 Uranus' years, hardly enough time to study it's
climate variations.

Mars, on the other hand, has been studied, and there are indications that it is warming. However, I
would suggest from the indications we have, that it would be difficult to state the rate at which it is
warming, and impossible to state that the rate is the same as Earth's, as BAR did.

Ninety per cent of the "opposition" to the prevalent theories of global
warming are based upon nothing more than traditional conservative (it's
going to hurt the corporations) bull****. The cons are afraid that if we
have to take steps to curtail our contributions to warming, it will hurt
their stocks. That's really all there is there. It's the same kind of
pigheaded thinking that has so many conservatives speaking up for
anti-science concepts that oppose evolution and the unrestricted use of
stem cells, and all the rest of the happy horse****. To even engage the
cons on these issues is to give them credence they don't deserve.

I wouldn't lump Tom in there. I think he just has a contrarian nature. ;-) Hey, I believe skepticism is a
good trait, but it is interesting that some will deny all the years of data and study on this most
extensively studied planetary body, but accept a couple of pictures from the Global Surveyor as proof
the sun is causing all of this global warming. All the while, ignoring the Sun is the second most studied
planetary body. It does take some mental gymnastics.

So I just saw a report on the super ivy. The reporter asked if the
expert (guy with car painted like ivy, website,marketing... ) if
global warming caused the super ivy. He said yes, that, er, um, ahhh,
milder winters, were causing the super ivy growth, as well as a
(assume genetic) change in the ivy to produce more potent oil too! So
here I am some 60 miles from the shore, looking at the new "super ivy"
in my back yard, caused by the new milder winters (what is warming,
one degree?) and wondering why I did not have super ivy on the
shoreline for the last 20 years as it is usually about 10 degrees
warmer at my other house, most of the time... Hummmmm...

Three questions, the answer to which may improve this discussion:

1) Are you a gardener? I don't mean you stuck a shrub in the ground two
years ago, and that's about it.
2) If you answer "yes" to #1, how long have you been a gardener?
3) How old are you?

LOL!!

I'm just messin' with you. :)

Although it would seem there is some basis in fact on this solar cycle
thing.

Lawrence Solomon of the National/Financial Post did one hell of a
series on this whole thing called "The Deniers" including articles in
support of the main subject. It's very even and extremely fair. He's
shares my opinion in fact - yes, man does contribute to Global Warming
and yes, Greenhouse Gases exist. It more a question of what it does
to the climate and how is affects climate change - I'm in the camp
that there are physical/solar explanations as well as
historical/climatological/geological explanations as well. Solomon
was in the Global Warming camp until he started out actually looking
into the science and scientists. Here's a sample.

http://tinyurl.com/262px5

The simple truth is this - man does change and affect his environment.
Has since the first time humanoids began to walk upright.

However what is missing with the Global Warming contingent is a sense
of history and, to tell the truth, basic knowledge of science. That's
what you get when you elect lawyers who only took "Science for Liberal
Arts" in college. I mean think about Nancy Pelosi who said after
visiting Greeland "I have seen Global Warming". Has she never heard
of the Vikings who discovered Tibet and colonized Mexico and
established a trading colony in Greenland (around 960 CE)?

And think about this - there are, as of now, six different solar
cycles of varying lengths. Each of them affects the climate of the
Earth differently - there is sound, scientific proof of these changes
- some drastic, some minor.

Do we need to do something about smog and green house gas? Yes.

Is it the sole cause of climate change? Not even close.

You see, this is where you **** people off.

It's not bull**** Harry - it's science.

2) If you answer "yes" to #1, how long have you been a gardener?


Pansy.

3) How old are you?


What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Well, if the HC is suggesting that Global Warming is causing
changes
in Poison Ivy, I meerely suggest that folks get a second opinon
before
stating it as fact. That was my point, you want to fight, go ahead.
Again, I am out of this pee pee contest, I know what I know.


You don't know what you don't know. Everyone agrees that the
planet's
getting warmer. The debate is about whether human activity in one of
the
causes.


Can you explain why Mars is getting warmer at the same rate Earth is
getting warmer?

No I can't explain it. But, I'd like you to tell me how it relates to

So I just saw a report on the super ivy. The reporter asked if the
expert (guy with car painted like ivy, website,marketing... ) if
global warming caused the super ivy. He said yes, that, er, um, ahhh,
milder winters, were causing the super ivy growth, as well as a
(assume genetic) change in the ivy to produce more potent oil too! So
here I am some 60 miles from the shore, looking at the new "super ivy"
in my back yard, caused by the new milder winters (what is warming,
one degree?) and wondering why I did not have super ivy on the
shoreline for the last 20 years as it is usually about 10 degrees
warmer at my other house, most of the time... Hummmmm...


Three questions, the answer to which may improve this discussion:


1) Are you a gardener? I don't mean you stuck a shrub in the ground two

Well, I am 50. I have been keeping close to an acre landscaped for
over 20 years. I grew up in the Northeast, playing in the woods in a
very rural area, at the time. I have dabbled in flowers and vegetables
most of my life, I was pulling poison ivy out of the trees of the
Hillstead Museum property as a child back in 68, a life scout who
specalized in outdoor woodsmanship such as tracking, survival,
mapping, and such. Is that good enough or do I need a degree to know
about poison ivy?

Then, it seems odd that you are having difficulty understanding how one
person's observations of a plant, in one location, can be so different from
yours. You can move an ornamental plant 5 feet closer to a wall which
reflects light and heat, and the plant will behave in a totally different
way than it did in its previous location, after taking transplanting issues
into account.

Ah, I am a gardener, more of an outdoorsman, but alas, not a schooled
botanist so I guess my opinion is probably moot when it comes to PI or
GW for that matter. Although, I am still interested in hearing your
qualifications in these areas, I am always willing to learn and even
change my mind.

Well, if the HC is suggesting that Global Warming is
causing
changes
in Poison Ivy, I meerely suggest that folks get a second
opinon
before
stating it as fact. That was my point, you want to fight,
go
ahead.
Again, I am out of this pee pee contest, I know what I

You don't know what you don't know. Everyone agrees that
the
planet's
getting warmer. The debate is about whether human activity
in
one
of
the
causes.


Can you explain why Mars is getting warmer at the same rate
Earth
is
getting warmer?


Do your own home work.


No I can't explain it. But, I'd like you to tell me how it
relates
to
the
article about poison ivy and carbon dioxide.

So I just saw a report on the super ivy. The reporter asked if
the
expert (guy with car painted like ivy, website,marketing... )
if
global warming caused the super ivy. He said yes, that, er, um,
ahhh,
milder winters, were causing the super ivy growth, as well as a
(assume genetic) change in the ivy to produce more potent oil
too!
So
here I am some 60 miles from the shore, looking at the new
"super
ivy"
in my back yard, caused by the new milder winters (what is
warming,
one degree?) and wondering why I did not have super ivy on the
shoreline for the last 20 years as it is usually about 10
degrees
warmer at my other house, most of the time... Hummmmm...


Three questions, the answer to which may improve this discussion:


1) Are you a gardener? I don't mean you stuck a shrub in the
ground
two
years ago, and that's about it.


Hell no - I farm hay and trees. :)


2) If you answer "yes" to #1, how long have you been a gardener?


Pansy.


3) How old are you?


What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Well, I am 50. I have been keeping close to an acre landscaped for
over 20 years. I grew up in the Northeast, playing in the woods in a
very rural area, at the time. I have dabbled in flowers and
vegetables
most of my life, I was pulling poison ivy out of the trees of the
Hillstead Museum property as a child back in 68, a life scout who
specalized in outdoor woodsmanship such as tracking, survival,
mapping, and such. Is that good enough or do I need a degree to know
about poison ivy?


Then, it seems odd that you are having difficulty understanding how
one
person's observations of a plant, in one location, can be so different
from
yours. You can move an ornamental plant 5 feet closer to a wall which
reflects light and heat, and the plant will behave in a totally
different
way than it did in its previous location, after taking transplanting
issues
into account.- Hide quoted text -

poison ivy reproduces vegetatively. You know what that means, right?-

Ah, I am a gardener, more of an outdoorsman, but alas, not a schooled

change my mind.

you say you're qualified, or unqualified?

Well, if the HC is suggesting that Global Warming
is
causing
changes
in Poison Ivy, I meerely suggest that folks get a
second
opinon
before
stating it as fact. That was my point, you want to
fight,
go
ahead.
Again, I am out of this pee pee contest, I know
what I
know.

You don't know what you don't know. Everyone agrees
that
the
planet's
getting warmer. The debate is about whether human
activity
in
one
of
the
causes.

Can you explain why Mars is getting warmer at the
same
rate
Earth
is
getting warmer?

Do your own home work.

No I can't explain it. But, I'd like you to tell me how
it
relates
to
the
article about poison ivy and carbon dioxide.

Thank you.- Hide quoted text -

So I just saw a report on the super ivy. The reporter
asked
if
the
expert (guy with car painted like ivy,
website,marketing... )
if
global warming caused the super ivy. He said yes, that,
er,
um,
ahhh,
milder winters, were causing the super ivy growth, as
well
as a
(assume genetic) change in the ivy to produce more
potent
oil
too!
So
here I am some 60 miles from the shore, looking at the
new
"super
ivy"
in my back yard, caused by the new milder winters (what
is
warming,
one degree?) and wondering why I did not have super ivy
on
the
shoreline for the last 20 years as it is usually about
10
degrees
warmer at my other house, most of the time... Hummmmm...

Three questions, the answer to which may improve this
discussion:

1) Are you a gardener? I don't mean you stuck a shrub in
the
ground
two
years ago, and that's about it.

Hell no - I farm hay and trees. :)

2) If you answer "yes" to #1, how long have you been a
gardener?

Pansy.

3) How old are you?

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

I'm not asking you.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

Well, I am 50. I have been keeping close to an acre
landscaped
for
over 20 years. I grew up in the Northeast, playing in the
woods
in a
very rural area, at the time. I have dabbled in flowers and
vegetables
most of my life, I was pulling poison ivy out of the trees of
the
Hillstead Museum property as a child back in 68, a life scout
who
specalized in outdoor woodsmanship such as tracking,
survival,
mapping, and such. Is that good enough or do I need a degree
to
know
about poison ivy?

Then, it seems odd that you are having difficulty understanding
how
one
person's observations of a plant, in one location, can be so
different
from
yours. You can move an ornamental plant 5 feet closer to a wall
which
reflects light and heat, and the plant will behave in a totally
different
way than it did in its previous location, after taking
transplanting
issues
into account.- Hide quoted text -

Sure I have, but what does that have to do with a mythical
strain of
super PI caused by GW?

I thought you said you were a gardener. How do you know it's a
"strain",
rather than a plant responding to different growing conditions?
Hint:
Most
poison ivy reproduces vegetatively. You know what that means,

Ah, I am a gardener, more of an outdoorsman, but alas, not a

even
change my mind.

you asked me.

Then you could explain to me what level of education, experience, or
general knowledge a person must have to have what you would consider a
legitimate opinion on these subjects, or do they simply have to agree
with you to qualify? ;)

- High school biology, enough to understand the difference between two
different "strains", and two genetically identical plants behaving
differently for reasons related to growing conditions. Did you finish
high
school?

- Enough curiosity about plants to read a few books per year, and I
don't

OK Joe, I get it. You bring nothing more than a mildly educated
opinion just like me, so the fun is over, good night Joe, hope you
catch that frekin' windmill soon ;)


35 years of reading about a subject is "mildly educated"?

What is a "strain"? And, did you read the article about which this entire
discussion revolves?



Go to bed already. And that is the last time I will tell you that.

So? What's the point? And what has this to do
with
poison
ivy?-

Well, if the HC is suggesting that Global
Warming is
causing
changes
in Poison Ivy, I meerely suggest that folks get
a
second
opinon
before
stating it as fact. That was my point, you want
to
fight,
go
ahead.
Again, I am out of this pee pee contest, I know
what
I
know.


You don't know what you don't know. Everyone
agrees
that
the
planet's
getting warmer. The debate is about whether
human
activity
in
one
of
the
causes.


Can you explain why Mars is getting warmer at the
same
rate
Earth
is
getting warmer?


Do your own home work.


No I can't explain it. But, I'd like you to tell me
how
it
relates
to
the
article about poison ivy and carbon dioxide.


Thank you.- Hide quoted text -

So I just saw a report on the super ivy. The
reporter
asked
if
the
expert (guy with car painted like ivy,
website,marketing... )
if
global warming caused the super ivy. He said yes,
that,
er,
um,
ahhh,
milder winters, were causing the super ivy growth,
as
well
as a
(assume genetic) change in the ivy to produce more
potent
oil
too!
So
here I am some 60 miles from the shore, looking at
the
new
"super
ivy"
in my back yard, caused by the new milder winters
(what
is
warming,
one degree?) and wondering why I did not have super
ivy
on
the
shoreline for the last 20 years as it is usually
about 10
degrees
warmer at my other house, most of the time...
Hummmmm...


Three questions, the answer to which may improve this
discussion:


1) Are you a gardener? I don't mean you stuck a shrub
in
the
ground
two
years ago, and that's about it.


Hell no - I farm hay and trees. :)


2) If you answer "yes" to #1, how long have you been a
gardener?


Pansy.


3) How old are you?


What the hell does that have to do with anything?


I'm not asking you.- Hide quoted text -

Well, I am 50. I have been keeping close to an acre
landscaped
for
over 20 years. I grew up in the Northeast, playing in the
woods
in a
very rural area, at the time. I have dabbled in flowers
and
vegetables
most of my life, I was pulling poison ivy out of the
trees of
the
Hillstead Museum property as a child back in 68, a life
scout
who
specalized in outdoor woodsmanship such as tracking,
survival,
mapping, and such. Is that good enough or do I need a
degree
to
know
about poison ivy?


Then, it seems odd that you are having difficulty
understanding
how
one
person's observations of a plant, in one location, can be
so
different
from
yours. You can move an ornamental plant 5 feet closer to a
wall
which
reflects light and heat, and the plant will behave in a
totally
different
way than it did in its previous location, after taking
transplanting
issues
into account.- Hide quoted text -

Sure I have, but what does that have to do with a mythical
strain
of
super PI caused by GW?


I thought you said you were a gardener. How do you know it's a
"strain",
rather than a plant responding to different growing
conditions?
Hint:
Most
poison ivy reproduces vegetatively. You know what that means,
right?-

Ah, I am a gardener, more of an outdoorsman, but alas, not a
schooled
botanist so I guess my opinion is probably moot when it comes
to PI
or
GW for that matter. Although, I am still interested in hearing
your
qualifications in these areas, I am always willing to learn and
even
change my mind.


What generic types of qualifications would you like to see?- Hide

- Show quoted text -


Well, you could start by answering the series of qualifying
questions
you asked me.


Then you could explain to me what level of education, experience,
or
general knowledge a person must have to have what you would
consider a
legitimate opinion on these subjects, or do they simply have to
agree
with you to qualify? ;)


- High school biology, enough to understand the difference between
two
different "strains", and two genetically identical plants behaving
differently for reasons related to growing conditions. Did you
finish
high
school?


- Enough curiosity about plants to read a few books per year, and I
don't
mean the Sunset books at Home Depot, like "Shrubs for Morons".

OK Joe, I get it. You bring nothing more than a mildly educated
opinion just like me, so the fun is over, good night Joe, hope you
catch that frekin' windmill soon ;)


35 years of reading about a subject is "mildly educated"?


What is a "strain"? And, did you read the article about which this
entire
discussion revolves?- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -


35 Years of reading huh? I got 45 living, playing, and making my
living outdoors so I still think I probably know as much about poison
ivy as you do. Maybe more. Yer book lernin' ain't **** compared to
real experience...- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -


Oh and BTW, that famous book by Frank and Rosenthal does not make you
a botanist... just another pot farmer like bassy ;)


I see. You find out something you don't know, and you attack. By tomorrow,
you'll say I'm a rapist.
