    From your postings it is clear that your understanding of science rivals that of Cereberus without the entertainment value. You seem to be angry and it prevents you from seeing clear realities...that is unfortunate. It is also painfully clear that ANY attempt at providing you with education has been futile at best....basically sir, you are Trolling.

    Nope...you are confused. I really do not care any more about climate change, as I have made clear on many occasions. I do understand it is happening and we have as a species have expediated the process but also know we wont do anything about it. You can biatch and moan about the talking points you have memorized and that's just fine....we will both be dead when the fan gets coated and if I am wrong it does not matter.

    Actually you are incorrect again....seems to be a habit. I simply enjoy debate and sharing what I have learned over the years, some people actually use this place as intended rather than as personal sadism gratification

    No, it is English language used to present an outcome of decades of significant investigation of our planet and its climate.

    Scientists never uses words like "prove", because there isn't any way to accomplish that level of certainty using the rules of scientific process.

    But, "more than likely" certainly is NOT speculation.

    So, it's like Religion? We can't prove there's a God nor can we prove climate change is man made.

    We cannot "Prove" you are a person vs. a Bot....However we have sufficient data to make educated assumptions.

    Then you spend your money on "educated assumptions". Whether there is a God or not is based on educated assumptions on both sides and therefore banned from public funding. The same should hold true for Climate Change.

    We've seen those educated assumptions before.

    Climate Change is pure educated assumption with empirical data to support it and trying to bring "God" into this is a blatant distraction you are well known for.

    Both are belief in something that can't be proven. The empirical data for God is the Dead Sea Scrolls.

    Those are only empirical Data that Christian sects wrote down stories and stored them in clay pots. If you claim them to be accurate truth then they actually contradict other texts thus diminishing the "Proof" you are trying to claim.

    No, there is a huge difference here.

    Scientific method is based on the fundamental premise that we may meaningfully observe the universe. There is no way to prove anything about god using scientific method, as god isn't observable.

    Religion is based on the fundamental premise that god exists. There is no need to prove there is a god.


    Scientific method allows for disproving ideas (such as the idea that humans have no significant contribution to climate change) by using careful observation (see above). For years now, hypotheses proposing other causes of climate change have been disproven and it has been shown that the possibility of causes other than man being large enough to explain current change is minute.

    You are talking about the different interpretation of an ancient language. Very much like the many interpretations of the raw climate data.

    Not really.

    But the Dead Sea Scrolls were written over a 400 year period, were they all crazy or smoking weed?

    Man made Global Warming is based on the fundamental premise that it exists exists. There is no need to prove man is doing it.

    So far the best they can give us is "more than likely". If the transmission in your car was malfunctioning and your Mechanic says he needs $1,500 to get started and he can "more than likely" fix it........would you do it?

    man made climate change will cause much stranger weather as time goes on

    as the poles melt, that cold water cools the oceans, what happens when there is no more ice to melt?

    no we don't, we have said many times, people WONT change behavior unless science comes up with cheaper alternatives that are just as convenient to use

    either science comes up with a solution or nature punishes us

    and of course I do want government to regulate the fix as i do not want just any scientist out there playing with the atmosphere, say they put something in the ozone to reflect the sun back and it goes too far and we have a great freeze

    btw, science doing that, woudl also be man made climate change, sense the right doesn's believe in that, guess we can give then the green light to try whatever they want as man can not have any effect on the climate

    There are older documents from other religions. And, it's seriously weak to suggest that the fact that people wrote about their concept of god in early history is proof there is a god, or proof of anything else.
    ?? Sorry.

    You're proposing a nearly perfect conspiracy theory of world wide proportions covering pretty much all natural sciences.

    Besides there being no evidence of this, it would be impossible for science to pull it off. There is no way that the various sciences could conspire to produce matching evidence.
    You can find examples of your car thing by listening to reruns of the "Car Talk" radio show.

    Scientific method does not provide proof other than proof of falsity. You will never find a scientist who says there is proof. What science works towards is a high degree of reliability. They have measures for that. And, every meaningful theory undergoes constant serious testing - including Einstein.

    Human contributions to climate change have been found to be responsible for a majority of the climate change going on today. Science has found no way to falsify that. Evidence from around the world is massively in support of humans being the primary cause. Anyone who could falsify that would be famous.

    "More than likely" means your getting schnooked. You removed my name from the quotes because you have no argument and didn't want me to see the post, how sad.

    There's not proof of the Global Warming Religion either. Just "More than Likely".

    No not at all, just a cabal of greed and stupidity.

    That's why Global Warming is called a Religion

    So it's a hoax like we've all known.

    Don't forget........"more than likely" responsible.

    "Human contributions to climate change have been found to be responsible for a majority of the climate change going on today. Science has found no way to falsify that."

    No way to prove it either.

    There were Herbivore Dinosaurs and the vegetation to support them between 400 to 1200 miles from the North Pole about 60 Million years ago. The fossilized remains of both don't lie. Something cause the Earth to warm to that extent, man didn't exist and the fossils for oil were still walking around and growing from the ground. So what caused the Earth to warm that much? We know through indisputable fact that there were Herbivore Dinosaurs and the vegetation to support them between 400 to 1200 miles from the North Pole about 60 Million years ago. So tell us why the same thing that cause the earth top warm so much, isn't happening again? Better yet, prove it.
