Climate Change (fka man-made global warming)
My wife filled up for $.99/gallon cents this week.
I really wish someone had the balls to point out that we're talking about a 136 year period and that, literally, millions of years of climate data were not recorded.
I don't know how anyone can look at such a small sample size and claim they definitively know what's going on and call themselves an "expert" or "scientist". (And this statement is not a climate change denial, although I'll argue cause all day.)
It's already been proven that some folks have faked climate data for funding or just gotten it wrong. Wouldn't it be hilarious, and actually quite crafty, if NASA was faking data to improve funding for missions with the ultimate goal of off planet colonization?
Hottest year evar

These guys say that the numbers published for the previous "hottest year on record" in 1997 have been adjusted down over 3 degrees in order to make 2015 the new "hottest year on record."
The fact there is no more unadjusted data is pretty unfortunate for real science.

I think. I didn't read it.
It's not me, it's someone else.
Sea levels aren't rising anywhere near as fast as predicted, wild-ass guesses posited as to why, also science is still settled.

Also, I just learned that Lake Superior held 20% of the fresh surface water on the planet (already knew that), and also it is only 10k years old (knew, but never really thought about it). I wonder if scientists take into account that 20% of the earth's fresh water got sequestered in that inland sea a geological heartbeat ago into their calculations when they look at tree rings and ice cores and shit to get historical data, because I doubt it, because I've never heard of them doing so in any of their arguments.

They're rising 80% of what was expected. Really, that's "[not] rising anywhere near as fast as predicted"?GORDON wrote:Sea levels aren't rising anywhere near as fast as predicted, wild-ass guesses posited as to why, also science is still settled.

Probably not necessary, as back then that water would have been locked up in glaciers rather than part of the oceans. It probably balances out.GORDON wrote:Also, I just learned that Lake Superior held 20% of the fresh surface water on the planet (already knew that), and also it is only 10k years old (knew, but never really thought about it).

They are wrong by 15x! 1400%! DEAR GOD, EVOLUTION ISN'T HAPPENING

For a long time scientists have believed that the rate of change in the mitochondrial genome was never faster than about 2% per million years.
That's just flat out wrong. Punctuated equilibrium while not universally accepted has been gaining popularity for quite some time. This thing with the chickens would be an example, with human chicken farming being the cause of the sudden changes.
...the team also discovered a single instance of mitochondrial DNA being passed down from a father
Now THAT is interesting.

Of course not. The word "probably" should be considered an indicator of uncertainty.

I'm just saying, you keep harping on climate change being unsettled, by using a standard that indicates MOST science is unsettled, yet you seem to accept most of that other science just fine.GORDON wrote:Is tonight my night for your special attentions, or something?

I would never say such a thing if there hadn't been such a movement to claim that the subject IS settled, there's nothing more to learn, and all we can do now is buy these carbon credits and maybe you will not be personally responsible for destroying the world. What, you don't want to save the world? Why do you hate baby animals? Baby animals live in the world. You are just a subhuman piece of shit.TheCatt wrote:I'm just saying, you keep harping on climate change being unsettled, by using a standard that indicates MOST science is unsettled, yet you seem to accept most of that other science just fine.GORDON wrote:Is tonight my night for your special attentions, or something?

Because that's the vibe and implications.
And I reject that.
