  1. Agree, and I deleted the "liberal" (just change word liberal to "warmist") .... Science should not be political, but unfortunately, when there are big money involved, it is made political. yes it is the Rove playbook, Rove was asked about it, (I read) and was non committal. Whoever came up with it, it's in play on this and other threads.
  2. I know you think it's worthwhile to respond, but it is not returned in kind. So why bother. once again we are no longer discussing the subject of the thread. Simple solution: if we all stop responding, the thread will not get locked.
  3. Deny or Defend Your Inconsistencies Evade Questions,\Hedge What You Say (do not respond to questions about the article) Ignore the Evidence (The article is completely wrong) Ignore the Main Point Insist Loudly on a Minor Point (people won't listen to the other side) Make (Sweeping) Glittering Generalization(subject is still open) Shift the Ground (no longer talking about climate) Talk in Vague Generalities Always claim the high ground (open minded, optimistic.)
  4. TOKYO -- Woolly mammoths could roam the earth again someday thanks to research reported Monday, where cell nuclei from one of the long-extinct animals showed biological activity when transplanted into mouse cells. Bone marrow and muscle tissue were extracted from the remains of a mammoth named Yuka that had been frozen in Siberian permafrost for 28,000 years in the study, published online in the journal Scientific Reports. Genomic DNA was compared against that of elephants, and the researchers confirmed that Yuka's DNA overlapped with the DNA and proteins specific to mammoths. The team injected cell nuclei from the muscle tissue into mouse egg cells and observed the forming of structures that appear just before cell division starts. The researchers also found possible signs of repair to damaged mammoth DNA.https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Science/Japan-team-edges-closer-to-bringing-mammoths-back-to-life
  5. honest discussion of climate change derailed. mission accomplished.
  6. Impossible! Randy Ambrosie is terrible! /sarcasm
  7. Looked up the author of the "no scientific concensus on climate change" article...James Taylor..... works at the Heartland institute. twisted.
  8. Invariably turns out to be a waste of time. I stopped doing it. I did read your article though, thanks for that.
  9. Sadly, first I have heard of him.
  10. I nominate the quoted statement for most absurd post in the history of this site. EDIT..... and Riderfans.org. "absurd" : Contrary to reason or propriety; obviously and flatly opposed to manifest truth; inconsistent with the plain dictates of common sense; logically contradictory; nonsensical; ridiculous; silly.
  11. Sea stars, also commonly called starfish, are among the most abundant animals along the U.S. West Coast. But now scientists say an epidemic spurred by warming ocean waters is decimating sunflower sea stars, a critical predator in kelp forests. The sea stars’ collapse could wipe out the shallow water ecosystems that provide a home for seals, sea otters and commercially important fish. “The epidemic was catastrophic and widespread,” said Drew Harvell, a marine ecologist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, who led the new research. “Infectious disease is causing endangerment in not just sea stars but also corals and abalone and other species.” When the researchers modeled sea surface temperatures with the starfishes’ decline, they found the two were related. Sunflower star population crashes coincided with warm sea surface temperature anomalies, the scientists report. The discovery means warmer temperatures enable the disease-driven plunge of sunflower sea stars, the researchers say. The animals’ potential for recovery is uncertain. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2019/01/30/west-coast-sea-stars-are-dying-out-fast/
  12. right, the future without drastic action will be at best, horrible. Sadly, All just to save the profits of some oil companies, mid Eastern dictators, and Putin and his gang. The oil companies will be out of business in twenty years, but the current CEOS' of them will all be wealthy due to compensation based on this quarter's profit. The wealthy will be fine, they'll be living as they do now in the third world, behind huge walls, with armed guards. Not much will change for them. The rest of humanity, more like Darfur. Think migrant problems are bad now? Drop in the bucket compared to tens of millions of desperate people that will be descending upon the wealthy nations. The "free market" (which with respect to oil, does not exist) will not get this done.
  13. America's response to World War II climate change, was the most extraordinary mobilization of an idle economy in the history of the world. During the war (on climate change) 17 million new civilian jobs were created, industrial productivity increased by 96 percent, and corporate profits after taxes doubled. The government expenditures helped bring about the business recovery that had eluded the New Deal. (Climate) War needs directly consumed over one-third of the output of industry, but the expanded productivity ensured a remarkable supply of consumer goods to the people as well. America was the only economy that saw an expansion of consumer goods despite wartime rationing. BY 1944, 2030, as a result of wage increases and overtime pay, real weekly wages before taxes in manufacturing were 50 percent higher than in 1939. 2020. The war also created entire new technologies, industries, and associated human skills. The war (on climate change) brought full employment and a fairer distribution of income. . Wages increased; so did savings. The war (on climate change) brought the consolidation of union strength and far-reaching changes in agricultural life. Housing conditions were better than they had been before. WW2 summary updated to reflect new most serious threat.
  14. I am not going to check any of his material any more, it is without exception worthless. Either does not say what he represents, or is from a crank. Complete waste of time. It's imossible to know if this person actually believes his/her nonsense, or is just having a good time stirring up ****. No reputable person, institution, agency, scientist, business, government, in the world, doubts the science. Even the oil giants acknowledge the truth.
  15. Sept 2018 Mexican President. “The commitment is to produce gasoline in Mexico,” Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday. “We want to produce gasoline because we have the raw material, we have crude oil.” (duh) He added the project launch will happen “in the first days” of his government. He takes office in December. Mexico produces about 1.84 million bpd of crude, more than 60 percent of which is exported, while it imports over 1 million bpd of refined products, including gasoline and diesel, according to U.S. and Mexican government data."
  16. You would think Canadians would be capable of building and operating refineries. Apparently this is beyond us.

  18. You didn't read it did you? You often seem to not read articles at all, but still respond, with things you just make up. It's not "framed" It's a direct quote of an email that your man sent to his "client".
  19. "The Clinton investigations lasted from January, 1994 when Special Prosecutor, Robert Fiske was hired until March, 2002 when Independent Counsel, Robert Ray concluded his work. In between Fiske and Ray was Ken Starr who was Independent Counsel from August, 1994 until September 1998."
