You are so right; actual conversation on climate
science problems is desperately needed so that
we all can be enlightened.

Yes, just having arguments isn't going to help really.
From: spudnik on
just because it was British,
I'd assume that the folks at E.Anglia did this, on purpose.

"global" warming is almost & assiduously all computerized simulacra,
and extremely limited reporting, about glaciers e.g.

> >http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2868937.htm

thus:
to recap my reply to the TEDdies comments (as I am still
listening to B.Greene's pop-sci talk ... zzzz),
first of all,
Minkowski made a silly slogan about ordinary phase-space,
then he died. thank you!

> http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/brian_greene_on_string_theory.html

thus:
they were just at the library auditorium,
selling the electromags to cure depression.... beats the heck
out of electroconvulsing, but I missed the refreshments!

thus:
I didn't get the gist of the CBS reportage, although it seemed
to be literate & wikipediaized (yeeha .-)
seemed like "more decimal points," although
there was a (wikip.) bibliographic note referring to Dicke --
I think, it was his paper that Einstein saw on one
of his rare visits to his Caltech office, and pooh-poohed,
regarding the predominant redshifitng of the heavens.

thus:
and, if at the centerof Sun is an iron core,
the theory might have to be revized (don't laugh;
not only was this a mainstream theory at one time,
it may not have been laid to rest (in current research)).

thus:
Rob, you uneducated, global-warmed-over bog-creature --
did you create any oil, today?...
seriously, that was amuzing about the cancellation-of-submission.
reminds me
of the time that Popular Science made an on-the-wayside attack
upon S. Fred Singer; at the time they were owned by Times-Mirror,
the then-owner of the LAtribcoTimes. the article was nominally and
visually an aggrandizement of three professors (and taht could
have included one of my own, at UCLA) of a theory about climate,
which had been celebrated already (I think) with a Nobel.
they included a mug-shot of the good doctor,
along with no mention of his vitae; alas!

thus:
the Skeptics were a Greek cult in the Roman Pantheon,
along with the Peripatetics, the Gnostics, the Solipsists etc.
ad vomitorium; as long as the Emperor was the Top doG,
you were left to your beliefs (til, of course,
Jesus -- after it became the state church).

thus:
virtually all of "global" warming -- strictly a misnomer, along
with Arrhenius 1896 "glasshouse gasses," except to first-order --
is computerized simulacra & very selective reporting, although
a lot of the latter is just a generic lack of data (that is,
historical data for almost all glaciers -- not near civilization).
I say, from the few that I casually *am* familiar with,
that *no* database shows "overall" warming --
not that the climate is not changing, rapidly,
in the Anthropocene.

thus:
instead, we should blame Pascal for discovering,
experimentally, his "plenum," which he thought was perfect. I mean,
it's always good to have a French v. English dichotomy,
with a German thrown-in for "triality."
