Yes, this is the essence of your science arguments. Pure ad hominen attack with no science content at all. You repeat this stuff over and over with little variation. It's like you never took a class on debate. I can imagine your kindergarten report card. "Futurecurrents has good verbal skills...

I think the basic problem with climate science is in the assumption that climate is stable and you've pretty accurately described it here. To understand what the climate is, all we have to do is to wait long enough that the attractor has explored all of its phase space (in a statistical sense)...

I used to think the best way to learn trading was scalping. That way you got in a *lot* of trades and it seemed to me that that was the way to learn. I still think that learning trading takes a lot of trades, but I'm now more inclined to think that scalping doesn't give people enough time to...

I guess I should add that Lightspeed isn't supposed to be running on Saturday mornings... But I hope to hear from them next week about whether I can use Lightspeed Web Trader as a back-up program.

These debates happen regularly. Historically, the alarmists don't do very well in them and most of them have learned to avoid debating the issues. Here's some examples you can watch: National Press Club Debate Christopher Monckton v. Richard Denniss (2011) Global Warming: A Fair and Balanced...

All these things are estimates based on the other values. If you actually look at the heat emitted by the earth (as measured by satellite) and the heat arriving from the sun (as measured by satellite), you end up with errors that are much much larger than the quoted heat gain. You only get the...

Lightspeed is down again this morning. So I looked to see if I could use the alternative. Turns out it's actually called "Lightspeed Web Trader" and it's not available if you're signed up with their DMA tools. At least I couldn't see any way to download it. Perhaps that's because the different...

The talk is from February 2012 and is not peer reviewed literature. The shortwave radiation from the sun (called "SW in") is estimated to be 340.2 +- 0.1 watts/m^2. The amount that is immediately reflected (called "SW out") is estimated to be 100.0 +- 2.0 W/m^2, and the amount of longwave...

Seriously. You're claiming that rising CO2 *might* cause extinctions *someday* and that to avoid it, we have to quit emitting CO2. Earth to futurecurrents! The replacement for fossil fuels are biofuels. And biofuels require land to grow them on. Of course this is a modification of the...

You're trying to change the subject from "climate" to "weather". And instead of quoting from the peer reviewed literature, you're giving a link to the opinion pages of the NY Times, LOL. Eventually the heat wave of 2015 will enter the peer reviewed literature and you can quote it then. But it...

Two or four degrees C isn't enough to make anything go extinct. Plowing over vast quantities of now unused land on the planet so we can grow renewable fuels is devastating to the natural environment and will drive all kinds of things extinct. I mean really. What happened to all that land that...

Most of the 1C rise are natural, but there's no question that the world has warmed. So let's carefully examine your individual claims as to why this is frightening. It's really hard for me to imagine a less productive place on this planet than a glacier. No food is grown there. Almost no...

Past temperatures are important because they tell us how much natural variation exists in the climate. And the reason the last 7000 years are of particular interest is that the modern times happen to have the strongest solar activity (and therefore the weakest cosmic rays) for thousands of...

(1) You call your opponents stupid in pretty much every post. So by your logic, you're losing the debate. Since Monday, here are some quotes from you: "You and I both know that they are deluded, probably religious (so they are used to intentionally ignoring science), Fox News watching, WSJ...

Not surprising at all. Among the sciences, "environmental science" is known to have the least intelligent students (for example, look at their GRE scores). And it gets worse because they get into the field due to politics and emotions which are the enemy of science. Suffice it to say that you...

LOL! Slate reports: World's Richest Countries Decide to Take It Slow on Climate Change Eric Holthaus, June 8, 2015 In a joint declaration from the G7 summit, leaders of the world’s richest countries called for a global phase-out of fossil fuels for the first time on Monday. That sounds great...

I've already shown that the peer reviewed literature admits the existence of the "pause". You're in denial about the science you say supports your cause. In addition to not understanding science, you're quite naive about how to win a debate, LOL.

Whatever happens this summer is just weather. If the world sets new record highs the global warming alarmists are still going to be ignored. They can argue about how the temperature needs to be "corrected", but they can't walk away from all the stupid stuff they've put out over the years. The...

(1) The above chart is from 2001. It's out of date and is an embarrassment to the IPCC because it includes the predictions of future temperatures that were shown to be false by the next 14 years of temperature measurements. (2) The sharp measured temperature data on the right hand side of the...

There are some limits on how many options you can own: Position and Exercise Limits: Limits vary according to the number of outstanding shares and past six-month trading volume of the underlying stock. The largest in capitalization and most frequently traded stocks have an option position limit...
