Wilkins Ice Shelf under threat
drnykterstein replied to elegantelliotoffen's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If Wacka is so smart, I'm telling you he could be !@#$ing rich, I mean really really wealthy if he just talked one, even one scientific panel into changing thier mind. Exxon Mobile would pay him a ton of money to someone who could do such a thing. So Wacka if you know so much, go get paid dude. -

I think my full point is, I trust the made statements on this issue of countless Scientific consensus panels. I mean obviously we're all aware of the theories of CO2 trapping in the heat. But without exception I take the research and minds in the IPCC and countless other scientists who have dove head first into the research here over the feeble thoughts of Ramius or Wacka. "have shown no scientifically verifiable and reproducible proof that it is man caused" Statements like that by Wacka cause me to see that he lacks trust in the scientific process of theory and testing and drawing conclusions from the data, and not outside of the data. If he had a mind that even resembled that of a scientist he would know that proof is impossible and best possible theories are all that we have. Wacka lets the Bible guide him more than scientific processes and has not fully rejected the Bible as a source of authority. Also, I don't see how him being in the field of biology gives him any sort authority over climate change. And as far as the word "Religion" ('ll repeat myself here) If this was String Theory of the Theory of Relativity of the Theory of Evolution we would have time to test the theory for hundreds of years and try to prove it. The proofs of those theories are not urgent. In this case, the answer to this proof we do not have time to wait for. The welfare of mankind is at stake and we must do something before we become extinct. The risks of being wrong are way greater if we do nothing than if we move to green energy. -

I really don't get what that has to do with the price of hay. -

Can we please not nitpick on wording and just assume "global warming" to always mean "human caused global warming". Caused by humans. That is why we're here, and that is why we're having this stupid brain smear of a "debate". (debate in quotes, because none of us know wtf we're talking about, especially wacka) -
Yep. We're Bills fans though, we should be used to this. Cleveland last year, the Steelers game.. I dunno, happens every year.

Did u mean to put this in PPP or did it get moved here? Also, I think I don't like the racist wording you used, even if it was meant to be funny. -
It'd be worse if we were cheaters.

Lol, wut? What do they care what causes the climate change? Climate change happens, and they research why. Fine... there is like a huge list of Scientific organizations who have made statements saying global warming is likely caused by humans. European Academy of Sciences and Arts National Research Council American Meteorological Society World Meteorological Organization Federation of American Scientists European Science Foundation InterAcademy Council Royal Meteorological Society Network of African Science Academies American Quaternary Association There is like a huge list of these guys. http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Wikip..._climate_change -

If I've done anything except say "I trust these scientists", do let me know. I'm not even going to attempt to present or discuss the science of global warming. I only know that I trust those who have researched it the most and analyzed the data most closely. (You not fitting into that category) -

But I mean come on man, you have to at least try. Put money into research, and try to roll out some of the technologies that we do have. You can't just do nothing. Yep, and I don't have time or money to learn about or defend or present every bit of data regarding global warming. That is why I say, if you and Wacka know so much, convince the IPCC to change their minds. I promise they are not allergic to facts and indeed would likely love to be proven wrong as it would mean the planet is not falling apart. You would likely also be paid a good bit of money for your findings and make many people happy. There would then be a lot of companies who would no longer have to restructure themselves to use green technology, and they would save a lot of money. And I'm sure, since you have then proven to be so smart and know so much that so many others don't, that you would have a huge list of job offers and never be found wanting again. I too would be happy if you proved the IPCC wrong. Please do it. -

except for the championship game next week, and the bowl game they've clinched, of course. -

Before Gill they threw Hail Mary's and then would only lose by 47 points when they caught the ball. -

And that was 6,000 year ago, of course. Anyways, like I've said before.. if you in all of your infinite wisdom can get the IPCC or any major scientific body to change their mind on this issue, I'll change sides without a fight. All scientific consensus panels says that it is likely that man is highly influencing global warming. What part of "all" do you not understand? -
That makes a lot of sense, though I was not aware of it. Companies do invest in other companies often. So what say you? Should we just give 25 Billion to the companies that have shown they know how to run themselves, instead of the ones that have demonstrated repeated incompetence?

I didn't read this thread, but are we all aware that Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, etc are in fact all American companies also. In that they have factories here. Also, "The Big Three" all have plenty of factories in other countries.

Ya that is a rare radio show. I really enjoy it, and I'm really glad it's around. -
I love how 1 injury and a team wrongly putting him on IR means he can't stay healthy.
-
Nah, but that's the only thing we can put our fingers on right now. They haven't actually been caught at anything else, even though you know they do it.
-
Yeah the Bills suck, and lose all big games, but there is at least one organization in football who are without question a more crappy team to cheer for. That of course being the cheaters who any body should be ashamed to call themselves a fan of that team. I shall never be jealous of anything that team has. I'd rather have the losses that we have.
