In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

    Optimism is nothing but a way to avoid dealing with harsh realities. At best one can be temporarily optimistic. The ultimate end is total demise. Be optimistic and fabricate a loving god and the possibility of a joyous afterlife.... Wonderful isn't it?

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    Sure, but we need to avoid circular arguments if we are to make logical sense. We must avoid infinite regress. Claiming I exist simply because I can ask the question informs us of nothing. However, if I ask you and millions of other's if I exist then we have a source of independent confirmation...

    The Tottering AGW Paradigm [W:31]

    Re: The Tottering AGW Paradigm That's true for a linear system. The climate system is decidedly non-linear. All greenhouse gases obey a logarithmic relationship with temperature and the Stephan-Boltzmann Law ensures that output radiation increases as the 4th power of the temperature. The only...

    The Tottering AGW Paradigm [W:31]

    Re: The Tottering AGW Paradigm No it would not. For that to happen either the Sun would have to increase output continuously on relevant time scales, or long lived greenhouse gases would have to increase indefinitely. Neither is or ever has been the case. Feedback is self limiting.

    Does gun control really work?

    To each his own... good luck to you! If your situation calls for owning a gun and you find the inherent risk of ownership worth it in the face of the potential danger posed by others then go for it. That's your call.

    Atheism is a religion [W:1586,2242]

    If you know that you exist, then you know that the universe exists because you and the universe you are part of are made of the same stuff. You are a piece of the universe. That's as rational and logical as anything can be. The relationship is demonstrably true. Now, we don't have to...

    Does gun control really work?

    I have never been shot or shot at. I don't know of anyone personally who has during my 67 years outside a military setting. So, likewise, I must be doing something right to even a stronger degree than you. However, we can't use personal data as a reflection of overall risk to the total...

    The Tottering AGW Paradigm [W:31]

    Re: The Tottering AGW Paradigm The system will not run away for the reasons I stated. Diminishing returns and a stabilizing or reversal of the initial forcing...has nothing to do with whatever the climate sensitivity happens to be at the time. So long as the Earth maintains liquid water...

    The Tottering AGW Paradigm [W:31]

    Re: The Tottering AGW Paradigm His point made was very clear indeed. The problem is his expectation for a 9.5C increase in temperature between 12,000 and 11,000 BP if ECS were 3C/doubling of CO2 is complete and utter nonsense. If he expects a sudden response during a 1 thousand year period...

    The Tottering AGW Paradigm [W:31]

    Re: The Tottering AGW Paradigm Desmogblog does not represent any scientists. It's a clearing house of information on people who work to confuse the public discourse. Don't attack the source. If you dispute the information contained then have at it.

    The Tottering AGW Paradigm [W:31]

    Re: The Tottering AGW Paradigm Because you are trying to show that the CO2 increase from 180 ppm to 280 ppm did not produce your calculated 9.5C of warming. In fact what the science indicates is that orbital forcing initiated a retreat of glacial ice thus dumping large volumes of fresh water...

    Who is more likely to get shot in a gun fight? Me or you? Hint: It's not me.

    The Tottering AGW Paradigm [W:31]

    Re: The Tottering AGW Paradigm Not respected by climate scientists at all. Motivated by his association with conservative political think tanks and donations from the fossil fuel industries. https://www.desmogblog.com/richard-lindzen When he investigates the atmospheric sciences and...

    The Tottering AGW Paradigm [W:31]

    Re: The Tottering AGW Paradigm You seem to think for some reason that the one thousand year period 12,000 to 11,000 BP should have warmed due to increasing CO2 by 3.5C + an amplification factor. I can't believe you really think that. The 3.5C increase happened over a 10,000 years period...
