This is like the Simpson's episode where Homer travels through various strange parallel universes. In the final scene he thinks he's made it back home to his universe until he sees the rest of the family has forked tongues. Homer's response is "Bah, close enough". LOL

Anybody who paid via HSBC please contact the HK Police at mkdist-dit-2-office@police.gov.hk or file a report on their website. The more customers they have the stronger the case will be and we can shutter this fraudulent business for good.

With a little bit of luck these Romanian assholes will be lined up and shot.

Interesting article.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/climate-science-is-not-settled-1411143565

For instance, global climate models describe the Earth on a grid that is currently limited by computer capabilities to a resolution of no finer than 60 miles. (The distance from New York City to Washington, D.C., is thus covered by only four grid cells.) But processes such as cloud formation, turbulence and rain all happen on much smaller scales. These critical processes then appear in the model only through adjustable assumptions that specify, for example, how the average cloud cover depends on a grid box's average temperature and humidity. In a given model, dozens of such assumptions must be adjusted ("tuned," in the jargon of modelers) to reproduce both current observations and imperfectly known historical records.

One part of this entire process that is worth mentioning is the use of "ensembles" of computer models.  For example, the recent IPCC reports use an "ensemble of 55 models."

Now, is that better, or worse?  Is that like picking 55 Republicans, to get a "True" feeling for what a Republican is?  Because obviously that would give the power of picking the results to the person picking the 55.

And why would some sort of "ensemble" be better than a single, correct model, anyway?   Or if they are all wrong, is it okay to average the wrongness?





Why are you such racist? Is it because planet earth has a blue skin? Do you want mother earth to have a Red Skin like mars? Those 55 computer models create jobs for a lot of people. Why do you want those jobs to be taken away by oversea workers, killing the economy? Don't you love your fellow citizen more than them? A lot of adjusted maths went into creating a perfect hockey stick curve, proving it is time to stop the madness of wrong thinkers. We need to share the wealth but also the misery we created to mother earth. Our joy of life kills mother earth. We need to make mother earth happy again, and bluer than ever. With a rejuvenating skin. The 55 computer models are the Nivea cream of planet earth. Why are you breathing the air mother earth gives you without a just compensation to her? A tax to help compensate all those hard working people on those 55 computer models needs to be created.

Our 56th computer model is working on a tax solution right now....

 Roll Eyes







Now that "they"ve succeeded in taxing the air you breathe how's the sunlight tax coming along?

I didn't read any of the comments but am pretty sure what the noises are, for I've heard them when I was a kid and during this past winter.

Can you figure it out?

I would venture to guess that the trumpet sounds are created by the piezoelectric properties of the rocks in the earths crust creating a natural piezoelectric speaker. Earthquake lights are also theorized to be caused by piezoelectricity.

"Drinking the Kool-Aid" is a figure of speech commonly used in North America that refers to a person or group holding an unquestioned belief, argument, or philosophy without critical examination. It could also refer to knowingly going along with a doomed or dangerous idea because of peer pressure. The phrase oftentimes carries a negative connotation when applied to an individual or group. It can also be used ironically or humorously to refer to accepting an idea or changing a preference due to popularity, peer pressure, or persuasion. The phrase derives from the November 1978 Jonestown deaths, in which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple, who were followers of Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking a mixture of a powdered soft drink flavoring agent laced with cyanide. Although the powder used in the incident included Flavor Aid, it was commonly referred to as Kool-Aid due to the latter's status as a genericized trademark.

There's definitely another source of life somewhere in billions and billions of galaxies. I mean, it's ridiculous to think otherwise, in my opinion.

There is no evidence whatsoever. But, there is a lot of space out there.

No evidence? Brah, read about the Tehran accident.

What if there's not a lot of space out there? What if the space is in your head? What if the Sun is only 51.5 km in diameter and orbits above a flat unmoving Earth and there's other worlds with other suns just beyond the Antarctic ice wall?

I think the Flat Earth "theory" actually requires the Earth to be moving "up", instead of gravity being real (as gravity would cause other parts of the whole idea to fail).

...

What if gravity isn't real, what if it's a fictitious force resulting from the electromagnetic force?

The Casimir experiments prove it's fictitious with the gravitational pesudo-force pulling on two plates at smaller scales. The Aharonov–Bohm effect also provides collaboratory proof via interference such as the double-slit experiment. If that's not enough to prove gravity isn't real beyond a reasonable doubt the Lamb shift makes it blatantly obvious.

Another example of a fictitious force that exists only in your head would be centrifugal force, it's fictitious and a result of centripetal force.

I think it's hilarious that "they" can't prove the Earth is a sphere LOL. Try Googling pictures of Earth from space, all the photographs showing Earth as a globe are as fake as the Moon landing.

This is a two part question posed with an incorrect grammatical stance; an angled viewpoint with a slant to mock the subject(s) as they are straw-men.

UFO: this part of the question is simple, if it's flying and you can't identify it there you have it.

ALIEN: The current story is that the iconic grey space aliens are in fact a miracle of modern science. You know how doctors can turn men into women, well there's a lot of children that go missing every year. These children are transformed through the best engineering science money can buy into mind controlled sex slaves and sacrificial offerings. If by chance a human sees anything either they're crazy or it's space aliens probing some poor fool.

One of the last remaining sections of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf is dramatically weakening, according to a new NASA study.

The study predicts that what remains of the once-prominent ice shelf, a thick floating platform of ice, most likely will "disintegrate completely" before the end of this decade.

I wonder what impacts this will have on long term climate change - severe, swift acceleration?

Global warming is here for sure. We will definitely see rise of the level of a world ocean during our lives. It's not that bad i think. It still better than a new ice age. A lot of cold areas will become more suitable for living.

The theory that Earth is a globe has not been proven and remains to this day just a theory. Now add to this the the "fact" that's it warming and you're going to make baby reptile Jesus cry!

I remember penguins flying south every year above my head. Now, because of global warming and stupid humans and exxon, I can hardly see any. Somebody should pass a tax law to bring them back.


You do know that meat production is a real problem right?  All those cows generate more carbon pollution than automobiles.  That's got to change, if the planet's going to live.  And we gotta save the planet, because it's the only one we got.

So these cows, they are a big problem.  And the pigs, goats and chickens, too.  In the long run, it'd be best to go vegan, but in the mean time, it's important for everyone to do their fair share to help.  This means eating a lot of meat.



I understand that but wouldn't that mean the total eradication of several species? which is a huge component of climate change.
YES!  You see, just like DENIERS should be all shot at high noon (words of James Cameron) or put in Nuremburg trials, and sent to prison for their WrongThink, similarly, some species are guilty.

Can we define high noon? If you look close enough at the Sun dial you'll see that high noon occurs at 12:45. Now the fact is that "high noon" has been re-enforced many times in my mind as "12:00" blinking on and off. How do I resolve this cognitive dissonance?

This YouTube video visualizes my line of thinking on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-id_Y6QZMg


What about on Flat Earth? 12:00 APM or 12:45 APM?

 Cool




If the Earth is flat then are there snakes on the plane? Why is that news reporter blinking sideways?
