another thing zach do you know how much money one of the wind turbines cost. I have always heard that they are a money pit they are very expensive and don't create much power. Also I have heard that they can only work when the wind isn't to heavy or to light so they don't run half the time

The fact that you think that because it's cold today in Louisiana means that there is no global warming and the fact that you think that the argument that people are making is that man "causes" global warming,not that man "contributes" to global warming- just reinforces the stupidity stereotype of Louisiana people and the politics of Louisiana. Please stop watching Sean Hannity on a daily basis you're getting dumber by the minute.

Sorry I don't come on here that much anymore because of the sheer conservative stupidity that reins on this board. I just happened to saunter over here for a few minutes and I saw this idiotic post and felt I had to respond.

Well, it is Louisiana. The good news nobody in LA will have any impact on the global warming science or debate. The real tragedy is it has become a political issue when in reality it effects on both sides.

B.D.Keim might ask why you view that as good news. So would I.

I can read quite well, it's just that the things you type are so dumb that I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were just bullshitting. But are you really questioning the accuracy of that information? Why on earth would anyone make up a statistic about eagle deaths being caused by vehicles? Is there some sort of hidden agenda there? You are even questioning data that falls right in line with statistics from the American Bird Conservancy, who actually care about the livelihood of birds, unlike you who is throwing out bullshite about windmills killing birds as a political play.
quote:

Wind turbines are just getting started. This is a very small time frame for Eagle deaths in the last four years.
OK, keep going on and on about bird deaths as if you care, and as if it is even remotely close to as critical a side-effect as the ones from burning fossil fuels. Why aren't you shitting on power lines, which kill over 100 times as many birds? A hundred times more birds, man, good god.

BTW, do you know how to make a quote? You don't need to use marks. Look to the right side of the Markup box, lower right hand and press the 'quote' button.

What the frick kind of stupid-arse "burn" is this supposed to be?

Increased CO2 is a side-effect. You can dispute the effect on climate, but you can't dispute that simple fact.
No, it's not. I just disputed it. Saying it's a simple fact is not an argument.
Just saying you dispute something is not an argument, either. Luckily, I have on my side that we actually are increasing CO2 in the atmosphere, so I can say it is a simple fact. Only the most oblivious or intentionally ignorant of deniers would ever even think to say what you are saying. You seriously have to be a complete idiot to say we are not increasing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. I really cannot stress enough how flat-out dumb one has to be to not understand this.
quote:

I'm not playing dumb. I know the truth and the truth will be born out.
I understand now that I was wrong and that you are not, in fact, playing dumb. It takes a true dumbass to repeatedly say that there are no side effects to burning fossil fuels.

There was no consensus among scientists about warming back then. The warming idea was much later.
There was no scientific consensus in the 1970s that the Earth was headed into an imminent ice age. Indeed, the possibility of anthropogenic warming dominated the peer-reviewed literature even then.
Uh, why are you linking to an argument I already agreed with? Beginning to think you're a bit slow.

You claimed that global cooling was big in the 70s, and that there was no consensus among scientists about warming back then. My link directly contradicted you, stating that very few scientists bought into cooling, and instead the peer-reviewed scientific literature was dominated by warming. Where the hell did you agree with my link? If I'm slow, then you're going backwards, man.

Warren Buffett thinks they are worth it. But I guess that doesn't mean anything since you and Zach are the brain trust around here.

It entertains me to no end to watch people who don't understand what global warming actually means trying to appear intelligent while discussing it.

Nevermind the fact that Mars probably isn't warming "globally", but instead it is probably regional. Also, nevermind that there is very little empirical evidence to support even that.

Wait. Let me get this straight. The 50 years of data we have from studying Mars temps isnt enough evidence to support a theory, but the 100 years of Earth data is


Yeah, right


I aint buying that

Such weather patterns, which can feature relatively mild conditions in the Arctic at the same time dangerously cold conditions exist in vast parts of the lower 48, may be tied to the rapid warming and loss of sea ice in the Arctic due, in part, to manmade climate change. Arctic warming is altering the heat balance between the North Pole and the equator, which is what drives the strong current of upper level winds in the northern hemisphere commonly known as the jet stream. Some studies show that if that balance is altered then some types of extreme weather events become more likely to occur.

The world's climate doesn't revolve around the USA. I think we can agree on that.

I figured you wouldn't, but here's why you should.

We measure earth's temperature literally millions of times every single day, and have for a very long time. We have ice cores, tree rings, and other proxies for estimating temperatures and atmospheric conditions going back hundreds of thousands of years to get an idea of past climate. We study countless other factors that affect weather and climate here on earth. We don't have any of this information on Mars.

But you just go ahead and keep thinking that checking the temperature on Mars tells us anything about Earth.

I mean, shite, you are using motherfricking Mars to support your political position. Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is? And it's not even solid evidence, at that. It just shows that obviously Mars has a whole lot less thermal inertia than Earth, and it is very susceptible to outside (read: orbital variation) forces.

Just the one link will suffice. I've googled it and it doesn't exist on the net. It's possible that the only source is in the basement at La Tech where you allegedly discovered this. And it's possibly that Phil a Robertson was skinning a squirrel in the same basement and blood dripped on this alleged document leading to your misinterpretation.
