Actually, there were people that thought that. They were quickly ostracized. Some lost jobs. They were belittled and demeaned because they dared to challenge. Take the dissenters out of the equation and you do get consensus...sort of.

I know you and I aren't on the same page on a lot of issues but thanks, Ricter. Perhaps it's true what the others say about FC. He's not reading what I'm writing. Damn shame. Waste of my fucking time. The record is there regarding my comments. I've showed my experience to make my...

I read a few articles online after FC mentioned it. Interesting stuff, for sure.

Americans think it's up, says study. http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-gun-crimes-pew-report-20130507,0,3022693.story "Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other crimes...

It's even worse. She will be hailed as a champion of the left. Dems have developed teflon exoskeletons. They are essentially untouchable and unaccountable. That's the power of having a biased media combined with free everything for everyone. Well, almost everyone.

Are you referring to the cycle that FC mentioned (Milankovitch)? So do the people who believe 100% in AGW believe that cooling from that period will be prevented by the warming? That would make an interesting thread. Minakovitch VS AGW. Most AGW people believe the damage will occur...

I addressed all of these in our discussion. Feel free to go back and review them if you like. I'll sum it up, though. I don't have a problem with the CO2 readings. The man who started it (Keeling) was not driven by an agenda other than his own concerns, at least that's been my...

I think we have reached a point in this nation that a majority of people just don't give a shit (especially the youngsters, by which I mean 30s and under), or are not actually informed in any meaningful way by the MSM if there is the slightest chance it could harm a prez the media made too big...

I'm not convinced they have overcome that fear. Let's see what happens in the next few weeks when the real truth finally comes out. Perhaps their balls will get bigger than their fear. They also must forget about their friendships with their left wing club buddies in DC. We might actually...

I think it's no more complicated than the pubs being afraid of the media.

Romney and the other RINOs never got the memo. Thus the kid gloves, which they wear to this day. I don't believe Hillary or the Bamster will be held to account over Benghazi.

And yet Pelosi considers her the most qualified person that would ever seek the WH. Hillary dropped the ball big time on Benghazi. That should instantly disqualify her for office. I know a pilot who made one mistake landing his craft. His career as a Navy pilot ended that day because he...

Actually, I think you misunderstood me again. I'm not leapfrogging the science question in my discussion with you. I had simply concluded my comments on the data reliability questions I have. I'm bringing up another issue stating a reality related to the overall issue (perhaps I should...

If I'm not mistaken, that 160 years began at the end of a mini cold period. Warming at the surface would be expected. Again, not saying we didn't contribute to it in the 1900's, but there are just too many possibilities. Meteorology and climatology are inexact sciences. As technology and...

Certainly the ground stations are important, but questions I then ask are: Where are they located? On a hill, in a valley, in the country, in a city, etc? Ground stations are susceptible to an entire array of local effects that have an impact on surface temperature averages. Tree...

One more thought. Given the collection of data provided at a certain point, one could select certain sets of data or soundings and omit others for the modeling input to give a specific reading at that location over a given time. I know there is a trust factor here, but when there are agendas...

More variables in upper air sounding data. We had launch times that we had to adhere to. On the equator, we launched 2 balloons a day, 4 if there was tropical activity within 10-15 degrees of our location. Because we had to launch at specific times, when a shower or thunderstorm was...

Apology accepted. I trust the climatologists, but only to a point. Some very knowledgeable meteorologists were thrown under the bus when this heated up. I believe that was a tremendous mistake. These guys understood trends in meteorology, which is extremely important to determining...

I believe you could have gone to work for NOAA with that degree? Why didn't you?

We'll put the ugliness aside, then. See my latest post linked below to see what I was saying. I was essentially saying in my original post that it was getting pretty damn cold last night for the gulf coast when summer is usually kicking in. I was tossing some humor out with it (nature...
