My thesis was not about climate change. It was about the ecology and behavior of ravens in coastal Alaska. I did not mention it to establish climate bona fides and I am not a climate expert. I am however scientifically literate. I understand how to read science and I understand both the process of gathering data and analyzing it in a defensible way.

Man I’ve got some Raven stories!

I watched about a dozen Ravens methodically and strategically attack, kill and eat a blue fox on Shemya.

I’ve also seen a line of maybe ten Ravens hovering in perfect order next to a hanger wall where there was an updraft. The one next to the wall would slide over and catch the updraft and perform a “trick” maneuver like a roll or spin.
Then he would glide over to the end of the line and the entire line would slide towards the hanger and the next raven would perform a stunt and so on. Freaky shit.

You look outside at 50 below zero and not a single living thing is visible...except a raven sitting on a dumpster or streetlight.
Ravens are fucking bad Asses.

I am DEEPLY concerned about America’s fiscal future but don’t see undocumented aliens as the problem. In fact industry welcomes them because they provide the cheap labor which our service, agriculture, and other industries rely on. I am far more concerned that nearly one out of every two dollars in Federal taxes collected goes to fund some aspect of our military industrial complex. You familiar with Dwight Eisenhower’s parting words? That was a Republican who spoke the truth. I’m also concerned that the very richest among us, people like Trump, have found ways to game our broken tax system to avoid paying a fair share. Responsibly reduce military spending (not abrupt decisions to rip troops out of ongoing conflicts) and demand that those who have benefitted from our system to the tune of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars pay accordingly, and it will outweigh immigrant dollars 100:1.

looks like defense is only 16% not 1 out of every 2(50%)

Official NASA global temperature data showed that from Feb 2016 to Feb 2018 the average global temperture dropped by .56 degrees Celsius, so now we're cooling?
Please post your source. If it is accurate and is from NASA I assume there will be a discussion of that data included.

Just as I predicted, you won't produce that which you refer to in making your point. Regardless of the topic, you alluded to the thesis being about the topic and used it to support your point. When called out, you recant and won't produce a thing except more bullshit. Without proof, I doubt there ever was a thesis.

You're a fraud and a troll, pure and simple. And by no producing, an outright liar. I can accept your bullshit to a point, but it's pathetic how you place yourself in a self serving position of being more caring and knowledgeable than others based on nothing but arrogance. Your condescending tone is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

You perfesser, are a phony. You've been called out and as is typical of your rhetoric, you've proven unreliable to your claims.:rolleyes:

As long as we are cutting and pasting here you go

Yep, I know he’s a well know climate denier with relevant credentials. If you look I bet you find half a dozen other skeptics whose names are throw around a lot. I’m sticking with the consensus viewpoint rather than the fringe.

Really?
Al Gore Humiliation: NASA Study Confirms Sea Levels Are FALLING
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/07/al-gore-humiliation-nasa-study-confirms-sea-levels-falling/

And...
Why does the “nonbinding” Paris Climate agreement/pact declare that climate action must include concern for gender equality, empowerment of women, and intergenerational equity” as well as “the importance for some of the concept of ‘climate justice.’?

This ^^^^ makes your entire argument BULLSHIT! I am very pleased President Trump sees it for what it is....Liberal Bullshit and we have far better things to do with our money!

I thought you listened to experts, scientist? Unless they disagree with your point of view?

Thats what I would do, stick with what you want to believe, but absolutely dont ever follow the money. Are you really that naive? Do you really believe the government would never lie?

WTG, I knew I liked you for a reason. Any guy who loves ravens as much as me can’t be all bad. You might enjoy Bernd Heinrich’s book “Mind of the Raven”. These birds are smart as chimps and able to thrive in almost every habitat on earth.

Here are some experts who have answered virtually every question you and the others have asked. I’m not gonna spend a whole lot more time on this pointless exercise. But if you have a question the rocket scientists haven’t answered let me know.

Fine, I followed YOUR Google link and the first article that pops up is this from the Washington Post- which then goes about specifically answering the question you posed. If you ask, you should be willing to open your ears and mind to the answer.

Grandpa Mac, you have openly agreed that former global warmings thru time were natural, but suddenly its now man made?
You make this assumption on 30-50 years of questionable temperature recordings vs per you . Now just think about this you are basing your belief on a time frame of .00000001 of the history of planet earth. The equivalent is judging the health of an 80 year old man by examining him for 2 seconds somewhere in his life span. Sound smart?

Being an engineer my assumptions are based on fact not emotion, in reading many of your posts it appears your assumptions are based on emotion thats why many of your posts go angry.

My suggestion, rethink your position with fact not emotion

Also break my first point? Please find fault in ANYTHING I posted please!!

Not Copy and paste, think it out and find where Im wrong?

The total "weight" of the earth's atmosphere is 5148.0 teratons.
That's 5148 X 10^12 tons.
=5148000000000000 tons

Got that? its a given

The world produced 27245758000 tons of industrial "greenhouse" (cute catchphrase for water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and ozone - but they really only mean Carbon dioxide [goes along with carbon credit]) gases in 2007.

This amounts to a whopping 0.000529% of the atmosphere.

Now, the historic average (over the eons) of CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.0396% (Today it’s 0.0384%). The startling thing about this is that it's higher than the present CO2 concentration - It's lower today than the historic average!!! Wow...who'd have thought?

We're supposedly adding to the existing CO2 concentration at a rate of 0.00143%. (that’s a ratio of one-thousandth per year). That can’t be good, right?. Why? Well, damn it, it just doesn’t seem or feel like it could be good – well, golly it CAN’T be good. So it must be bad!

Funny, thing is that we absolutely need some of those “greenhouse” gases. These gases in the atmosphere both absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. Greenhouse gases are essential to maintaining the current temperature of the Earth; without them this planet would be so cold as to be uninhabitable.

Hmmm...which brings us to a good point. We've supposed to have created these greenhouse gases, right?...so?...we're making more atmosphere? There’s more of it, so it's getting heavier right? Is barometric pressure continuing to rise due to this?.....not really. The chemical makeup of the planet is essentially self-balancing (so are those of the other planets of the solar system, but let's ignore that, too), and will precipitate the imbalances. The vast seas of plankton and our forests help to eliminate the rest by way of photosynthesis. This process has occurred and recurred thousandths of times over eons.

There's also this pesky little thing called conservation of mass and energy; it essentially states that matter and energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred and transformed. We don't create any of these things, only change them (and then they change back). This carbon has always been here, and always will. It moves and transforms, and the amount that we change it is completely insignificant with regards to this essentially pseudo isotropic system as a whole.

The biggest shocker of all, is that 6 billion humans, and nearly ¼ of that number of livestock on this planet creates more “greenhouse” gas than the burning of fossil fuel.

Beware the scaremongers and idiots telling you otherwise. Better yet, look who's getting rich of the illegitimate premise of global warming, and you'll quickly find your fraud.

You get that a phenomena like warming can have multiple causes at different points over earths 4.5 billion year history and that natural warming billions of years agoconcerns me less than warming which we created (and therefore can still reverse) now?

Irregardless, I’m done with the Fox News soundbites; NASA has answered them to the satisfaction of the scientific community. If you don’t want to read the info the experts posted that’s on you.

Wow! Exxon repudiates climate change denial! Well if I was a corporation and my company would profit from a statement, Id pretty much say anything the government wanted

But then again the weather channel guy had a big profit margin, please think stuff thru before posting!

Grandpa Mac the decrease in temps from Feb 2016 to Feb 2018 was NASA!

You didnt follow the links did you?

Aaron Brown looked at the official NASA global temperature data and noticed something surprising. From February 2016 to February 2018, "global average temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Celsius." That, he notes, is the biggest two-year drop in the past century.

"The 2016-2018 Big Chill," he writes, "was composed of two Little Chills, the biggest five month drop ever (February to June 2016) and the fourth biggest (February to June 2017). A similar event from February to June 2018 would bring global average temperatures below the 1980s average."

As a scientist thats a great approach stop all information that conflicts with your theory, then you can come up with a theory clear of any agenda?

Really?

I followed your Google link straight to a WAPo article explaining that trend lines still fluctuate up and down. Link at #278- read it yourself because I don’t care to peck out a summary for you.

No, the scientists understand that the Earth was warmer at points in the past and that data makes complete sense given Co2 levels, volcanism, the onset of photosynthesis and other natural processes. They also know this particular time is because CO2 is rising from a recent low of about 180ppm to 400+ ppm and that we are directly responsible. Real scientists have to account for all the facts (and have) rather than cherry pick facts in support of an agenda.

That's understandable.....but there are questions still on the table (#279) that you refuse to answer....yep.....you clearly got your ass handed to you in this one. :p

TB, this behavior is not isolated to climate change. Sometime when you’re bored beyond belief and are choosing between bamboo under the fingernails or mental torture. Choose mental torture and read any/all of grannymac’s #drivel
