    Liberals and science is like oil and water, they don't mix. Whether it's a global warming scam or repeating mindless urban legends that are obviously false, liberal ignorance is enormous:

    I'm on ignore? I'm devastated.

    Not. I knew that.

    Anyway, your own snip (I sure say this to you a lot), points out that the calculations to arrive at that were incomplete.

    How about that, you supported my point.

  4. He states melting ice means the earth is getting hotter.

    The article clearly states that the Swiss glaciers melted more when it was cooler. Therefore the argument is bogus. Its not too hard to comprehend.

  5. That's a pretty complex argument, that one glacier melted under specific anomolous conditions therefore global ice melting under different conditions disproves something else.

    I'd like to hear a longer explanation.

    Assuming we can extrapolate what happened in Switzerland those years to the whole planet...

    I accept that other factors besides the big two, water vapor and CO2, can warm a region or a planet.

    Here is the data for the last 5.5 Million years. Where is this great big spike that you always here about?

    We always hear how todays climate is unprecedented. I certainly can't tell by this graph. Can someone point it out to me? Or is the claim a bunch of bullshit?

  8. We can't discuss it Dave. You have clearly stated before that you do not believe in solar variation. According to you the Sun plays no role. End of story.

  10. Yes, that's why conservatives and evolution go hand in hand. It's also why conservative interests saw no connection between smoking and cancer, along with a host of other ailments. The intellectual integrity is breathtaking.
