That's still better than what we have now - a christian fundamentalist. BTW, back in the 80's when nobody knew what the internet was, Gore as a congressman from TN kept it alive by advocating its funding year after year. "Inveted" is not the right word but Gore certainly facilitated the...

Here is a real scientific article co-authored by Professor Bob Carter of James Cook University: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004AGUFMPP23B1426N Basically, what it says is that they took several coral cores, compared their O18 isotope content (which can be used to deduce ocean temperature...

Speaking of "Bullshit....." You post is way too long to refute one by one. But this is an example. Bob Carter has been paid by Exxon to do climate study. How many people can trust his scientific integrity when he says, "The first thing to be clear about is that carbon dioxide is not a...

Can someone parse this? What did he "inhale or ingest?"

I was worried all week. Congrats to NASA.

This is silly. It's a sad testimony of the failure of the American science education. Here is a proper definition of science (from wikipedia): "Science in the broadest sense refers to any knowledge or trained skill, especially (but not exclusively) when this is attained by verifiable means...

Media does not report only "one side of scientific debates." I am not aware of a single debate in science where both sides were not fairly reported by the media. Give me an example. Global warming is politicized not by the scientists or the media. It was by the people who know nothing about...

I'm amazed that people with so much ignorance can talk as if they know something. How much do you know about science? Just because we have a president who doesn't believe science doesn't mean that scientists have stopped working. If you stopped listening to the politicians and paid more...

No, that isn't the point. Civilization didn't exist 10,000 years ago. It is not a coincidence that the emergence of civilization occured when global climate was relatively accomaditave to humans. Funny that you worry about the "standard of living," yet not worried about the very existance of the...

If you have no clue, why open your mouth? Check out this link for an education before saying something nonsensical http://www.newscientist.com/channel/earth/climate-change Scientists may not know precisely why global warming is happening, but there is no dispute among scientists that it is...

Are you an accountant or a lawyer?

This is completely opposite to what I would expect. My own observation is that private schools generally do much better than public schools, mostly because of the family background. Kids from richer families definitely have an advantage. However, this line caught my eye: "Additionally, it...

Great! Do you suppose that we should just give up agriculture and go back to the hunter-gatherer life? (Hint: when did agriculture start?)

You are missing the point. It doesn't matter whether the issue is being pushed by the Democrats or the Republicans. You cannot automatically oppose something simply because the Democrats are pushing it. The general scientific consensus is that global warming is real, and that its cause is likely...

Why is anyone obligated to turn to God if He does not heal anybody?

Why does the Pope hate America?

Iraqis are leaving. They may all get out before we do. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2268585_1,00.html

You haven't met people who don't speak English. Do you speak their language? I do. I go to China every year for business and spend a lot of time socializing with ordinary people there - people who don't speak English. Last time I was there was a couple of months ago. Let me repeat again. Most...

Showing your ignorance again. Most east Asian countries are societies essentially without a religion. Confucious teachings are a set of moral values without invoking a God. Taoism is a Way of Nature but the Way is more of "guidance" than religion. Budhism is close to be what we call a religion...
