Now find some scientists who'd disagree to make your illustration really fit. I'm guessing you'll find unanimity. You won't find the same on the global warming issue. Actually, you're wrong. There's unanimity on the global warming issue, too. Back to the Naomi Oreskes citation on page 3: "The author analyzed 928 abstracts of papers from refereed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, listed with the keywords 'global climate change'. Oreskes divided the abstracts into six categories: explicit endorsement of the consensus position, evaluation of impacts, mitigation proposals, methods, paleoclimate analysis, and rejection of the consensus position. 75% of the abstracts were placed in the first three categories, thus either explicitly or implicitly accepting the consensus view; 25% dealt with methods or paleoclimate, thus taking no position on current anthropogenic climate change; none of the abstracts disagreed with the consensus position, which the author found to be 'remarkable'." -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

How would you know that? That is the very heart of the matter. Eh, objection sustained. Let's use the terminology that the IPCC report uses. Do you have any objections to saying that it's extremely unlikely that dense objects would fall at a rate far different from 9.8 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth, provided that we don't do anything drastic? quote: Still your theory is applied and works. That carries far more weight than an untested idea. Now explain to me exactly what gravity is and how it works including its relationship to the other forces... Who cares? That's irrelevant to the question of approximately how things fall near the surface of the Earth.

Anybody thinking otherwise is deluded. When they speak of knowledge they've uncovered through scientific method in absolute and non-negotiable terms it lets me know they have lost touch with reality and puts a large question mark over everything they say. Eh... what if I say that I've discovered that dense things always, always, always fall at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth without any exceptions and always will, unless we do something drastic to the mass of the Earth? I'm speaking in absolute and non-negotiable terms, but do you really want to argue that there's something wrong with me saying that?

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, August 22 2007 06:52 Profile Homepage #115 Another argument that global warming-deniers have put up is that our knowledge is necessarily incomplete and will be furthered in the next few decades. Therefore we can't know whether global warming is happening or what's causing it, because our knowledge is incomplete. This argument doesn't really work. You don't need to have a complete knowledge of aerodynamics to know, if you drop a bowling ball from a tall building, it's basically going to accelerate toward the ground at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2. It may be 9.7 m/s^2 or 9.6 m/s^2, due to aerodynamic effects, but it sure as heck isn't going to float or rise above the level from which you dropped it. The incompleteness of our knowledge about climate change is like not being able to take into account air resistance when we're doing projectile motion: yes, it adds an uncertainty, but only to the details, not to the big picture. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

As far as I know, reports of sunspots in antiquity were fairly minimal (though, as you say, they are found here and there). I didn't come across any mention of them in my brief reading last semester on ancient Greek and Roman astronomy, and the usual source only mentions ancient Chinese astronomers and medieval Europeans. Other astronomical phenomena were known much more broadly. quote: They have only been systematically observed for a couple of centuries, though, so an 8000 year cycle must be a theoretical extrapolation from more limited data. Under the article on Solar Variation: "Sunspot numbers over the past 11,400 years have been reconstructed using dendrochronologically dated radiocarbon concentrations." Not terribly specific, but the idea appears to be that we measure things on Earth to figure out how the Sun has been for the past few thousand years. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

NASA? Neither? You can't really trust anybody's science, because someone else is always contradicting you. Science is religion. Choose your faith. This is why I think that you fundamentally misunderstand the nature of science. Real scientists don't choose to believe something in the face of inadequate evidence. Scientists may have opinions, and they may even express them, but when it comes to what we know and what we don't, real scientists are honest. If we have contradictory data, real scientists say that we don't actually know (but we're still working on it). They don't do this because they're good people. They do this because they're peer-reviewed, and if they aren't adequate about their interpretations of their own data, they get slammed in reviews and can't publish. I'm not convinced that there's any genuine uncertainty about this, though.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, August 20 2007 08:31 Profile Homepage #98 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: The only reason 1934 made it past 1998 as a result is that the two years are extremely close in average US temperature; this was always clearly acknowledged. Global warming is about a slow trend underneath larger annual fluctuations, and occasional hot and cold years are irrelevant. While discussing the four warmest years in the U.S., he makes an interesting point about the local vs. global problem, too: "Note, however, that the 1998 and 2006 temperature anomaly maps differ fundamentally from the 1934 and 1921 temperature maps. In 1998 and 2006 the world as a whole has become warmer, 1998 being aided by a very strong El Nino, but 2006 by only a very weak El Nino. In 1921 and 1934 the United States happened to be a relatively hot spot compared to the world as a whole. The next time that the U.S. temperature happens to be unusually high relative to the globe, it may be quite a barn burner." In a discussion revolving around his response, someone else makes an interesting point regarding the idea that we shouldn't think of ourselves as so powerful that we can destroy the world. Some have said that it's arrogant to think that we are the cause of climate change, but have those people never heard of nuclear weapons? Of course we have the power to wipe out nearly all life on Earth. There should not be a gut-check response when we say that we could obliterate everything, because we know that we can.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, August 18 2007 22:41 Profile Homepage #87 quote: Originally written by Synergy: And that's where religious dogmatism comes into science. Contrary science is dismissed as random supposition by laymen. You've apparently forgotten the point I made the last time we had this discussion. Scientists love to prove big scientific theories wrong. When Einstein seriously revised Newtonian mechanics with his relativity, many people were skeptical at first, but within fifteen years or so, he had won. Relativity had completely conquered every doubter in fewer than two decades. Quantum mechanics did the same thing a short while later. Contrary science is not rejected by mainstream scientists. Contrary science, when it is based on real research, solid experimental testing, and legitimate theoretical explanation, is embraced. quote: Do you imagine the average scientist has much clout or say how or what he or she is going to do working for some company? That's why I'm not talking about company R&D. I'm talking about basic research, which is rather different. Basic research still depends on grant money, but most of that grant money comes from the federal government, and if you think that the Bush administration is only giving scientific grants to people who agree with their views on climate change, you might want to check what basic research has to say on climate change and what the Bush administration has to say. quote: If we would stop worshipping scientists as our new high priests, we'd see this better, I think. As I suggested in my last post, we have no better place to go for answers than people who are looking into finding the answers. Who would you like to ask, if not scientists, in order to determine whether climate change is occurring?
