    while your entitled to your own opinion, your not entitled to your own facts. We have a working theory capable of making accurate predictions. What do you got ??????????

    oh I ignored data now, thats cool, I couldn't help but notice your ignoring that every single position paper concerning this issue by every single major university is in agreement with the theory of Rapid Global Climate Shift.

    or were you hoping to change the subject to my having ignored data rather than you misreporting about the consensus

    Are we really going to begin this wild attack on reality again. The bait and switch of climate denial, the Gish gallop. Good plan I'll turn on some music and watch as the folly's unfold

    Cat. I'm not arguing that paving hasn't increased heat. Obviously concrete and as-phalt absorb and holds heat longer than wood or paper thin leaves. Because of mass. And Black absorbs energy. I'm just saying that dark green is also an excellent color to absorb solar energy. Plants live on it.

    Ok, thanks, Yo.

    That is all my point was. It was that there could be plenty of other reasons for a blip in the temperature observed at one point. As a trained scientist, I'm bothered that only the hypothesis of carbon emissions was considered and immediately validated.

    Don't forget that photosynthesis is an *endo*thermic reaction, meaning that photosynthesis actually absorbs the energy that lands on the forest green leaf and uses that energy to make chemicals instead of storing heat it like the pavement does. Every plant out there that was ripped up to make a parking lot can no longer:

    *Absorb heat and turn it into glucose or ATP and Oxygen
    *Provide you with Oxygen to breathe
    *Absorb Carbon Dioxide you breath out as waste

    I'm not that passionate about this discussion like I was in the boat security plan gun thread a while back, so I'll just watch you fellas have at the debate. :)

    Have you posted university position reports? Or am I to take your word for it?
    You haven't adressed any of the facts or opinions in my posts except to dismiss them offhand.

    Even your own high priest scientist admit under pressure there hasn't been warming since 1998.

    Professor Muller of Berkely, confronted with dissent, caved and admitted that indeed, both ocean and land measurements show that global warming STOPPED INCREASING IN 1998.

    The Massive NASA & IPCC Embarrassment: Hansen's Abysmal Global Warming Model Predictions
    James Hansen has provided proof over the last few decades that climate models are worthless as climate prediction tools - will NASA & the IPCC admit failure?

    Horse pucky

    But I did like the part about having a high priest. Does he sacrifice children as well, cause if your going for flash and awe you might as well go for flash and awe. You could even picture him standing at some kinda alter with the rest of the IPCC all around in robes or something, then maybe have them all chant

    Damn, That warming for stopping on us like that.
    Damn, That warming for stopping on us like that
    Damn, That warming for stopping on us like that

    while they all pass there children forward. :p:p:p:p:p:p

    Once again Boston
    It's impossible to have an intelligent conversation with you. You are now ignored again. Last time was a week. This time is a month.

    My teardrop trailer, the "Land House Boat" was painted dark green and it got very hot inside as a result. It has since been re-painted a nice light yellow.
