    Apparently not. (sigh)

    You're a better man than I for having the optimism that there might be "hope" for "change" in P&R. Me, I'm afraid I'm a pragmatist/realist to a fault.

    I just still can't get over the fact that as the climate diverges further and further from what they're models say was predicted to happen, they grow more confident in their theories.

    How can you not point your finger at them and laugh?

    It's like failed traders that continually double down on their trades that go bad. At some point they blow up and go broke.

  5. So I guess if there is a pause on the five minute chart you sell your long term stock holding.

    How many times do I have to tell you guys that the models are not expected to have perfect resolution. They predict long term trends.
    They are not perfect just like weather forecasts are not perfect. That does not mean weather forecasts have no value or that we should reject the current science of weather forecasting. The models are constantly improving.

    No, your so called scientists told us ten years ago that there would be no more ice at the north pole in ten years, no more snow in north american continents in ten years, etc, etc, etc.


    You lie.

    And yet the ice has declined enough to permit the formerly impossible, passage of a commercial freighter. When the local forecast calls for "rain in the morning, then clearing" you demand to know what time the rain will stop?

  9. And you are simply deluded. The science community as a whole did NOT predict an ice-free Arctic. Try again dummy.

    lmao, so we're back to the same tactics as you try to use for global cooling of the 70's. After your side makes grand predictions that don't come true, you say that not everyone was making them and the predictions were only a sideshow.

    I don't know why anyone pays the least bit attention to you pack of liars.

    You are quite simply pathetic. The whole lot of you.
