And, by the way, I mean, whatever, fine global warming exists and it's the most dangerous threat ever to the world and all that. Al Gore still won a Nobel Peace Prize for talking over someone elses powerpoint presentation. Thats kind of crazy.

Can you provide us with examples of said journals? Much of what I have read suggests certain individuals have chosen not to have their work peer reviewed, for fear of being outed. Or, because the information was peer reviewed and found to be inaccurate or outright misleading? Oh, and yes, there is a list, and here

To be fair, he is sharing the award with the UN panel. They did the work, but it would have all been for naught without someone to make it a big issue with the public. Sure, he's repeating someone else's scientific work, but I think that getting the evidence out there can be just as important as collecting the evidence when it comes to actually acting on it.

Would it be nerdy of me to mention that he didn't actually make the presentation in Powerpoint, but in Apple's Keynote software?

 

He is after all, on their board of directors.

And when oil supplies dwindle and prices start going up, there will be a lot of money to be made by finding alternative sources regardless of what the government does.

 

Do you think it is good policy to wait for something to happen rather than plan for it in advance? And what if a reasonable alternative does not exist or can not be engineered in time for its need? You certainly seem to be placing much faith in science, more than I am willing to bet upon in fact.

 

I never claimed it was proven.

I was trying to bring up the subject of water, which is actually relevant to the subject, but was duly ignored.

 

 

I just quit my job, put all my savings into a fleet of ozarka trucks, and fled the city.

 

thanks a lot.

 

 

I make mad crazy love to water all the time

 

 

what do I have to do to get your attention? start a "hey lederhosen" thread and talk about DTR?

Once upon a time I bet Tipper was hot.

 

Anyone have a picture of her in younger days?

that would dictate that god answers every request via prayer verbatim...which even the most devout would never claim.

 

You've obviously never watched a postgame interview after a major professional sporting event. Or the Grammy's.

Isn't stating that you would like to see someone try to disprove it essentially the same?

 

 

 

 

Using what you've stated, can we perform a similar experiment with prayer? Can we show repeatable, quantifiable results? Folks claim that they have been healed by prayer, usually prayer with the assistance of the best medical care money can buy, but prayer none the less. And yet, not a single amputee has ever, ever, spontaneously re-grown a limb, regardless of the number of prayers sent out into the dark. People claim cancer and other maladies have been cured by prayer, yet, mysteriously enough - not one amputee has witnessed their limb just sort of like, reappear. Is that sort of power beyond what even god is capable of, or, is it more likely that certain diseases, cancers, etc, can go into spontaneous remission without any sort of divine intervention?

 

Or, does god simply hate amputees?

 

Last check being an amputee isn't life threatening, and most amputees can go on to have a fairly functional existence. Most forms of cancer still lack a cure though, and your lumping them together in this manner doesn't really add to the impression that you have any idea what you're talking about. Great, you're a non-believer and you think you're better than believers. Which, interestingly enough, is at the heart of your complaint about believers....that they believe they are better and know better than others.
