Climate change is a fact, says China A deputy director of China's most powerful economic ministry has come out swinging against climate change denial. Senior Chinese government figures have described the view that climate change is not man-made as an "extreme" stance which is out of step...

If you don't like that one, then look at the dozens on that site documenting the retreat of the glaciers. I'm glad you made this response because it is a good example typical denailist nonsense. Quibble about a small detail and incapable of taking in the great weight of evidence. Look at some...

That statement is total nonsense. You are clearly so bound up in your preconceptions derived from religion that you are incapable of looking at the evidence. Rationality works this way: evidence => conclusions.

Climate change is beyond doubt: CSIRO "The head of Australia's peak science body has spoken out in defence of climate scientists, saying the link between human activity and climate change is beyond doubt. "The head of the CSIRO, Dr Megan Clark, says the evidence of global warming is...

Correct, it won't be easily reversed. Excess CO2 stays in the atmosphere for a long time - decades, centuries, probably millenia until it would return to it's natural levels. Other GHGs such as methane are not so bad in this respect and would be cleared in a decade or so. Have a look at some...

An outstanding resource. John Cook is doing a wonderful job.

What debate? This is a matter of scientific evidence. Science does not function by means of debating. You seem terribly confused.

Are you aware that the UAH satellite record referred to above is prepared by Spencer and Christie - two of the few AGW skeptical scientists. It seems that the conspiracy has spread so far that even the skeptics are in on the "hoax" as well.

Is there something lacking in your reading comprehension: "Brazil is allowed to impose the tariff increases – worth $560m – after winning a case at the WTO last year. Brazil challenged the legality of direct subsidies to US cotton farmers to protect them against fluctuations in global...

One of the most idiotic things ever posted on ET. Governments of great variety have levied taxes for thousands of years. It is manifestly ludicrous to maintain they are all socialist.

There is more than one type of cancer and some treatments have been developed that are specific to the particular condition. One is Rituximab which is used for some types of lymphomas and leukemias and apparently is quite successful with very few if any side effects. There are other *mab's...

Often you can get away with it in Swing, but it is very bad practice and the SUN doc repeatedly warns about this. There are utility functions to do it the right way: SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait () or SwingUtilities.invokeLater (). However the problem might be a bit more complex in TWS...

What part of "he was a state government employee using a govt computer at work" do you not understand? I just looked at rense and the front page has an image showing Ernst Zundel and the holocaust denying book "Did Six Million Really Die?", describing the book as "explosive and convincing"...

Err .... not quite. The link says the Queensland state government. Furthermore, the poster is a government employee and the site is blocked at work. As far as I am aware there is no obligation for employers to allow employees to surf the net at will, when they are supposed to be doing their job...

I can say with some certainty that IB servers are not "funky". Now what is your question?

You're a few hundred years behind the times. The modern state not only has vastly more firepower than any bunch of kooks armed with a few assault rifles, it is also well organized with sophisticated command and control systems, rapid deployment of overwhelming armed force to any geographical...

Yes. And here's another one, possibly the worst killing spree in modern times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_%28Australia%29 Gun laws were tightened substantially in the aftermath and semi-automatic weapons are now very restricted. Gun crime has certainly not gone up...

These conditions are created every day when high energy cosmic rays strike atoms in the atmosphere. And yes, I do believe they have given the matter a little thought.

There are no disclaimers. There is a fact that the change is relative to 1950-1980 baseline. This is clearly shown on the image. What is your problem with that? The assertion that there was a consensus amongst scientists in the 1970s that the world was cooling is not true, regardless of...
