I was at a Chemistry conference recently. You could look up at the seminars and guess whether they were Powerpoint or Keynote because every single Powerpoint talk looked cra**y and every Keynote talk looked good.
These guys, though chemists, wouldn't dream of getting up on stage wearing a Leisure Suit, but they are willing to do the software equivalent.
Claims that Inconvenient Truth was made with PowerPoint aren't the only factual errors surrounding that movie.
There's been lots of criticism and praise for Al Gore being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Do you guys think Al Gore deserved the prize? http://crazynuggets.info/nobelprize/
"Do you guys think Al Gore deserved the prize?"
Climate change is the biggest problem facing humanity. Bigger than Iraq, the subprime crisis, and the plummeting dollar all put together. Last time the ice caps melted (natural causes that time) there weren't 7 Billion people on the planet. The choice of picking Gore vs a climate scientist? Well, the Peace prize often goes to people with public visibility, and few scientists fall in this category. I will note, though, he shares it with the IPCC.
Discussion of these great problems among the intelligencia are always entertaining, even more so when they give one another awards for their "work".
Al, please go give your pitch to the boys from South America and Asia. Tell you what, when you convince them to turn off their lights, give us a call and we will, too.
What a bunch of phonies, I swear.
What about climate change on mars?
"Climate Change" is just the latest angle socialists use to try and take over industry, having mostly failed in the last century-- thought they managed to slaughter 100 million people in the process.
I'm shocked that the nobel as been compromised to such a degree. Ok, so the peace prize wasn't a scientific prize, but to give it to the endorsers of an anti-scientific religion? amazong.
Try debating "climate change" with one of these peopel and you'll quickly discover that they think they know science, but actually they're just regurgitating the same propaganda ....
You endorse the global warming theory, you're advocating the slaughter of millions of people. I want you to know what you are now- and not live in denial. There is no scientific basis to this agenda, just as there wasn't one to the claims that we'd be having a new ice age (Which was all the rage of the ecosocialists back in the 1970s.)
Jesus people.. how gullible ARE you?
"... how gullible ARE you?"
No, many of us ARE NOT gullible,
We think for ourselves, evaluate facts and come to the conclusion that climate change is indeed a major crisis caused primarily by man made greenhouse gas emissions. Thanks to the tireless advocacy of Al Gore, the IPCC, The National Geographic and respected scientists worldwide some of us have decided to pull our heads out of the sand and look for solutions instead of blind obfuscation.
"Nobel Prize winners..."
Interesting. Please tell me some others?
There are going to be a lot of red faces when we have a series of very cold winters starting around 2020 when a predicted change in the sun's intensity occurs.
Sun cycles are responsible for this warming just as they were responsible every other time we've had ice ages and subsequent massive meltdowns throughout geological history.
"Sun cycles are responsible for this warming just as they were responsible every other time we've had ice ages and subsequent massive meltdowns throughout geological history"
Science is bit different from "American Idol", where all votes are equal. I am sure NOAA has taken sun spots into account. They have to take a LOT of variables into account and the price of being wrong is significant. If you think you can do a better job, maybe you should go into climate science. I'll stick to chemistry, myself.
