    International Law. I dunno about US law, but I suspect that it may well be illegal in US law as well.

    I don't know about the bottle bit, how about the wind? Oh sorry, you already are.

    CNN Anderson Cooper exposes NASA

    Don't let me stop you. Oh dear, you really do have some problems. If you will just be rational for a moment, you would realize that those images of spots could be just about anything (if they are in fact authenticated as being present in the original Nasa product). A scientific attitude...

    CNN Anderson Cooper exposes NASA

    Crackpot. The narrator of the video claims to have see aliens six times. 'nuff said.

    Sharing Resources: Let's Not Reinvent the Wheel

    Indeed. I think it would be unwise to say the least to use a closed source library for charting where presentation is everything. I've used JFreeChart, and it is pretty good but I've still had very good reasons to change some of the code for what I wanted to do. Things like the axes and data...

    Global Warming Hoaxsters caught lying AGAIN

    You should find that scary. CO2 has a long half life in the atmosphere - maybe hundreds or even thousands of years before excess CO2 is scrubbed from the atmosphere and things return to equilibrium. It doesn't just fall out of the sky as does water vapor. No matter if CO2 emissions are cut...

    Physics proves the earth is only thousands of years old.

    What a load of old rubbish. Modern science, and in particular physics is in many ways completely at odds with common sense. Most people accept Einsteins theory of relativity, not because they understand it or because it follows common sense or "can be seen by any reasonable man", but because...

    Physics proves the earth is only thousands of years old.

    Anybody with a bit of common sense eh? Well actually no. Most people are quite simply not qualified. They don't have the education or training. Period. And that includes scientists outside their field of expertise. Those years of education and research aren't there for no reason. That is...

    Physics proves the earth is only thousands of years old.

    How do we know what scientific fact is ? 1. Predictions made on the basis of hypothesis are confirmed by observation 2. Weight of evidence confirmed by observation, How do we know the observation is conducted using sound methods, the data analysis is correct, what is actually measured...

    Physics proves the earth is only thousands of years old.

    He certainly has all the trappings of kookiness. Disputes Special and General Relativity for which there is shed loads of evidence. Not to stop at half measures he also disputes quantum mechanics, without which, I might add, it is exceptionally unlikely that I would be typing this on a computer...

    Physics proves the earth is only thousands of years old.

    No they should not if their work does not meet the required standards. There is no guarantee that a work is worthy of publication just because it's author has an academic or professional qualification. You want special rights just for religious cranks.

    Verification of systems using Long/Short success

    What good reason is there to assume that market behavior is the same in updrafts as in downdrafts? Volatility is higher in bear markets for starters.

    How many scientists really dispute global warming?

    If you want to look at the models you may also like to have a look here: http://clearclimatecode.org/ Which is a project to rewrite the GISS models code in Python and to do a general cleanup to make it more understandable and more accessible. They are effectively auditing the GISS code as...

    How many scientists really dispute global warming?

    The last few years have NOT cooled - that is a complete fantasy. This is the hottest decade on record. Nobody is explaining it away because of a low in the solar cycle, even though there is a low in the short term solar cycle. GISS temperature record shows 2009 as the second hottest year by a...

    How many scientists really dispute global warming?

    The civil engineering example is interesting because civil or mechanical engineers do NOT have complete knowledge of their designs in the sense that a set of equations can be written down and solved analytically. It is just not possible. They use approximations through modeling that is based on...

    How many scientists really dispute global warming?

    Mistakes happen. Period. From the NASA web site: "In the past our procedure has been to run the analysis program upon receipt of all three data sets and make the analysis publicly available immediately. This procedure worked very well from a scientific perspective, with the broad...

    How many scientists really dispute global warming?

    Who is Jansen and what data manipulation are you talking about? Scurrilous and unfounded accusations are your standard operating procedure. You are talking nonsense. Climate models are based on physics not guessing. The rate of warming has been fairly close to that predicted by Hansen's...
