not going to lie, I dont know who the fig this guy is

So you dont think Christie or Juliani will end up in the cabinet?

and is Bannon really someone you want to have that much power? yikes...

I don't think Christie will end up in the cabinet. Giuliani will, but again, he isn't establishment in the least.

I have zero problems with Bannon. In fact, I like him a ton. :D

[nando]

Not even a little shocked.

[BraveUlysses]

as you know all we can do is read the pro's and con's from people who are experts in climate science.

and if you actually do that you'll find there is no consensus

please cite your source for this claim

Breitbart is a gateway drug that leads to Stormfront addiction.

Common sense: 100 years of record keeping vs 4,543,000,000 years of the earth's existence.

100 years/4,543,000,000 years = 0.0000000201188641866608% of data to determine that humans created global climate change.

If you ask only the New England Patriots who the best team in the NFL is, you will get the Patriots as the answer. If someone on the team doesn't answer the Patriots, Belichick will fire them the next day.

And that's how you create consensus in the scientific community: box out anyone who says "hold on a minute guys."

VP Pence just got rid of lobbyists in the transition team

something Obama said he would do but never did

Lotsa things Obama said he would do but never did ;-)

And knowing he still has two months to go, he's trying to do a few things so that Trump doesn't take credit for them when Trump will actually do it. Such as stopping the funding of Al Nusra djihadists in Syria. After all, Obama's administration spent 5 billions (yes, your tax payer money) and only trained 4 or 5 rebels... Where's the money and how come the 200 white Toyota Hi-Lux trucks purchased by this administration for the Syrian opposition ended up with ISIS?

Or watch Costner's Water World.

that movie was utter flaming crap, and you're a bad person for recommending it

:P

Haha

i could never figure out why everyone looked like they were rolling in the dirt but lived on a water world

guy at this 1 site I work at, was so sure Hillary had it, he now goes to therapy lol

I asked this before and you didn't answer: how do you decide which parts of the climate science are worth believing to be true and which are not? Why ice cores and not other sources?

I am not one to just take it on faith. I question everything, I was raised by scientific method people, and to consider all options before moving forward. Because of this I tend to suffer from analysis paralysis when making big decisions but I digress .

Like mentioned Ice cores, geologic data, and the fossil record are PHYSICAL things that can be studied and provide a nearly direct link to a snap shot of a period of time from which we were not there to witness and document. Even then they only provide very generalized information for periods of time ranging from couple of years to a couple of million years depending on what medium your are looking at. I put far more faith in these samples because of the fact they produce real data, not computer modeled projections and simulations based on the assumptions of those setting up the code for them.
When this comes up

When the planet was "warming up, and cooling down" thousands (in reality hundreds of thousands to millions) of years ago it wasn't doing it in a fucking century, at the extreme rates its happening at now.

I pointed out that you settled science types own data sets from Ice Core data show that past climate shifts have taken place in a less than a decade in the past, so saying its happening too fast now and all previous shifts took much longer is directly contradictory to the hardest actual real data in existence, so....... Um yeah.

Like I said trying to claim X+Y=US when the true equation is likely to be much more like trying to prove 3 of the unsolved number theory equations in the same week. Couple that with the power and cash incentives involved with a particular out come, leave a lot of room for skepticism. There is far more at work here that we have little to NO understanding of the interactions and cycles that likely have a longer cycle than we humans have inhabited the planet, to say other wise is foolish and very narrow minded.

Until we understand all facets of the problem at hand, and how they interact and affect each other, makes solving the problem very difficult, and choosing a course of action prematurely may have adverse effects. Like you love to point out correlation does not mean causation, that a little picky and chosey if you ask me how you go about applying that mantra.

TL/DR
Still way too much about our climate, and what drives it and how everything interacts with each other WE DONT UNDERSTAND or even KNOW yet, thanks to working with about 0.000000000002% of the planets historic climate data being recorded accurately to be calling the science settled. Its like trying to predict whos going to win the supper bowl in 2220 by watching the kicker take 1 step toward the ball to kick off the 1st game in NFL history

so much for that bullshit line about "I don't settle cases, on principle" thing, I guess

at least obama waited until he was actually in office before he started walking back claims made on the campaign trail
