NumLock, Do you really think you are helping the long suffering citizens of Gaza by replaying far fetched, improbable and unproved conspiracy theories. What is widely known to be fact is quite sufficient basis to condemn Israels actions in Gaza.

I'd say that Israel has really screwed it this time. Not only is it completely immoral but if as reported conducted in international waters, unquestionably illegal. It seems there were a number of European MEPs on the boats. This will play out very badly for Israel. And deservedly so...

I'm not sure what point you are making. There is clearly no deficit of C02 in the atmosphere in the foreseeable future - it is rising at about 2 ppm annually (about 2/3%). As for the old "CO2 is plant food" argument, it is true that increased CO2 does increase plant growth but the whole story is...

You've got to take anything on Debka with a grain of salt. Having said that, this might be a bit of sabre rattling in response to Iran's recent agreement with Turkey to swap low grade Uranium for enriched uranium for power station use. I find it hard to believe that Obama (or any other...

The US National Academy has just issued a report that says the science is "settled" and every other national academy, scientific society and professional association with an official position asserts the reality of AGW. Which does not say everything is known about climate. Rather it says that we...

The primary role of human emitted CO2 in currently changing climate has got nothing to do with Al Gore - who is a (retired) politician not a scientist, but had the good sense to heed what the science is saying. The role of CO2 also has got nothing to do with whether there will, or will not be...

Those little green vertical things on the chart are error bars. Why don't you spend a little time observing the evidence before inserting foot in mouth.

It's called the instrumental temperature record because it is compiled from direct measurements of temperature made using instruments - namely thermometers. Instead of shooting your mouth off about something you clearly know nothing about, why don't you just take the radical option and...

There was never any scientific consensus that the earth was entering an ice age in the 1970's. Stop telling lies. Number of papers classified as predicting global cooling (blue) or warming (red). In no year were there more cooling papers than warming papers (Peterson 2008)...

Well, you denialists should know. It's your standard operating procedure.

The Economist, it seems, is falling out of love with Chavez. They really don't offer any evidence as to what the opinions of Venezuelans actually are.

NASA GISS Temperature Record.

The CRU at UEA were indeed challenged - by smear, innuendo, unfounded defamatory accusations and an extended campaign of harassment. Two successive inquiries exonerated Phil Jones and his associates of any scientific malpractice. There is no evidence of falsification of results. Stop telling...

A barefaced lie that is the real "falsification" in discussions on climate.

Won't help when he is an acute embarrassment to those around him.

Yes, indeed scientists fight back and clowns like Inhofe will eventually pay the political price of their McCarthy-like threats against scientists. In an exceptionally strongly worded open letter, 250 members of the US National Academy, including eight Nobel Laureates, defend the integrity...

The article cites the Daily Mail as it's source. The Daily Mail is not a credible source for science reporting (or much else for that matter). Why would any scientist in their right mind release their results "exclusively" to the Daily Mail. Wake me up when there is something from a credible source.

So Muslims are responsible for Greece's debt problem? They do get around and about don't they? There truly is some nonsense posted on ET.

You need to get proper advice on this. Things may have changed since I was there a few years ago, but one person limited companies can be treated harshly by the Inland Revenue if they are deemed to be set up for the purposes of avoiding national insurance contributions. Under IR35 you can end up...

Just write a bit of code to do the job in the language of your choice. An RDB seems a bit of an overkill for this. You could have the job done in less time than it takes frigging around with a database and SQL.
