AGW and belief in God

I appreciate the insights both ways.

a) Might he have both?

b) Even if it's not a formal degree, it would be silly to lie, and actually have no training or knowledge at all in a subject one claims a degree in, because generally people don't like getting caught in a lie; not even liars.

c) It doesn't matter to me.
This isn't a job interview. I don't require minimum academic credentials.

This is a recreational current events board. What matters most to me is not who, what, or why about the poster, but the merit of their post:

- Is it interesting?

- Is it enlightening?

- Is it entertaining?

- Is it constructive?

- Is it poison-pill free (no gratuitous vulgarity or disparaging ad hom).

I'm not a Buddhist.
But The Buddha applied a standard that makes sense to me. And without attribute, psychologist Joy Browne applied a very similar standard.

a) What is a non-historic 50 year low?

b) Why do they always hit trailer parks?

The NOAA scientist in question has an impeccable track record for fairness and honesty, so naturally he is going to be attacked by the loony warmists.

You have access to Google and it is free, so go check for yourself.

The same is true if every single solar cell fights AGW or not.

Yet you fools put your faith in the very small minority of paid shills at risk of losing the Earth .

Calculate the total quantity of petroleum produced in 20th Century.

Expressed in Cubic Feet (iow: cubic area) (not in Joules nor BTUs etc)

NOTE:
1 Cubic Feet = 7.48052 US Liquid Gallon

Factoid:
Fossil fuels [oil, coal, natural gas] hydro, solar, and nuclear power are referred to as primary energy.
World consumption of primary energy increased from 1965 to 2007: 3.8 billion tonnes of oil equivalent to 11.1 billion tonnes of oil equivalent.

NOTE:
The barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel (42 U.S. gallons or 158.9873 litres) of crude oil.

So, if we can calculate the cubic feet of petrol taken out of earth + coal extracted .... and then compare that Cubic Feet of Mass to known masses ....it will paint a better picture of the ratio of:
cubic feet of the earth's atmosphere versus
versus
cubic feet of all the gallons and coal volume extracted



NOTE:
Total Water on Earth = 332,500,000 cubic miles (mi3) (1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers (km3)).

Total Atmosphere of Earth = 3,095 cubic miles (12,900 cubic km).

Other source:
All the water in the world (1.4087 billion cubic kilometres of it) including sea water, ice, lakes, rivers, ground water, clouds, etc.
All the air in the atmosphere (5140 trillion tonnes of it) [At sea level, a cubic foot of atmosphere weighs about an ounce and a quarter].

MY POINT ---my Speculation:
All the petrol extracted from the ground is a Hoax. I speculate that motor petrol, gasoline is 99% laboratory-made concoctions.
Bio-fuel technology has made Oil drilling obsolete and unnecessary ... maybe I wrong ---so, I'd adjust and say that a gallon of crude oil can yield 100,000 gallons of high-octane gas good enough for most uses.

That's not logical. It's a logical fallacy. Pascal's wager is old and thoroughly debunked. Why would you use it to support AGW?

You are right about the opportunity costs. But the religious are not constrained by morality, ala Trump.

The lost opportunity is to approach things rationally, logically and with reason rather than ignorance and blind faith.

If the religious actually put bets on things like faith and evolution they'd all die young without medical care. But they are a bunch of frauds.

The irony is that the same Godless twits who think God is a myth worship a quack theory that man can cause the earth to warm.

But in idiotland, where you wallow, anyone who doesn't willingly swallow this quack theory must think the earth is flat and against alternative energy; which is a dumb lie.

The earth has been warming long before man invented the gasoline engine. In fact, it has frozen and then thawed many times. The notion that man is causing a global warming that started at the end of the last ice age is for dullards and gullible dimwit like you.

Dunce.

natural phenomena and man made or assisted AGW are not mutually exclusive

but something is causing glaciers to melt, a higher ph of the oceans, a general rise in global temperatures major changes in flood/drought occurrences and a significant increase in the world CO2 level

but the expanding universe? not bloody likely

Dear dunce; glaciers have been melting long before man invented gasoline engines.

Liberals have to be the dumbest, most gullible lackeys on the planet.
 
The Al Gorians are unable to comprehend that periods like the current interglacial period are relatively short lived. I know this chart will be shocking to Al Gorians ... IF they can read it.

It's an obvious fallacy. Tsuke pointed out why. Opportunity costs.

I don't think you believe that one can be saved by pretending to be a Christian the way Trump does. It requires a sincere belief and actions that do represent a cost.
