    It's a classic reminder!
    Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement! Eureka!

    Found the Yorkshire Coble floating around on a Poor man’s passagemaker thread in post #28, so now I've put her back into her berth !

    Relaunch with a very old bottle of Jenever in a linen bag, (to contain the broken glass) smashed on the thickest part of the bowsprit. Catch the liquor in a bucket strategically suspended beneath. Waste not!

    Right, but then you have to stay put for life once hit, and not move around like Roy Sullivan . . :eek:

    So, no tsunami after the Oaxaca earthquake yesterday? It was a strong one. 7.4 magnitude I heard.
    Good.

    Was that an earth Quake? I thought Julie and I were just being a bit more intense!

    Do you want to have some fun, A II? I put a test on Ocean News for the lazy debaters.
    You can easily refute my statement of Natural sinks absorb all the annual human contributed CO2, in fifteen minutes!
    I deliberately made a nonsense statement, in order to make several psychological points. I'l disclose those later.

    The simple refutation is, fifteen minutes is a quarter of an hour.
    Natural CO2 is 95% and humans contribute 5%.
    If 5% is absorbed in one quarter of an hour, all 100% would be absorbed in five hours, or 20 quarter hour segments.
    It's patently ridiculous to suggest the total annual emission of CO2 from all sources could be absorbed in five hours.
    There would be zero CO2 left in the atmosphere if that were the case.

    One of my points this canard intends to demonstrate, is the AGW side ignores natural CO2, as if it were an indelible unchanging base line on their pads of blank charts, printed that way at the stationers.

    Another indication, is they are aware how tiny is human contribution and afraid it MIGHT could be shown to be absorbed in fifteen minutes.

    Other derivatives from this little test, I'll explain in a few hours.

    I know you believe humans are instrumental in global warming, but you treat the topic rationally.

    So, please, if you like, blow up my ridiculous statement. Those too lazy to do even simple math, i predict, will leap upon the band wagon! Lol.
    i posted the challenge twice, the first time a dozen hours ago. They have had time to respond. They won't until someone else does the thinking for them.

    If all the humans gathered in southern Florida and at a prescribed moment were to jump, it would not be felt on the Canadian Shield and AGW would still be a hoax.
    Why would it not be felt on the Canadian Shield?
    Because all the Canadians would be in Florida!

    LOL

    Isn't that a bit like the brainteaser:

    Pretend you are a bus driver and....
    After a long series of bus stops, various passengers boarding and departing, and the strain of keeping up with the tally of passengers remaining on the bus, begins to show in your victims face? You ask if they are ready, and pop the question!

    "What is the name of the bus driver?"

    No one remembers.

    Since the glacier retreated from the Canadian Shield it began rising. Why wouldn't central Greenland rise also after de-glaciation?
