Just because I wasn't there doesn't mean I'm not reaping the benefit. If my prosperity is based on the suffering of generations of Africans, how can I say I don't owe anything? Okay, here's an example. I'm Caucasian. Under every "reparations" plan I've heard, I'll be paying a large chunk of my earn...

Which is exactly what the emails and recent information have shown the people at CRU and those associated with them (Penn State, GISS, etc) have been working very, very hard to keep hidden.

I've yet to find any emails confirming the willful destruction of data to avoid it being scrutinized Really? Just search on "delete" and you get http://www.eastangliaemails.com/emails.php?eid=383&filename=1068652882.txt - Michael Mann deleting all his interim steps and Tim Osborn asking about how t...

The ideal balance is to stop pussyfooting around with solar and wind and start building nuclear plants. What we really need is a X-Prize type competition, with a $1B prize for the first, sustainable, safe, self-safing, breeder-reactor design based on a thorium/U233 fuel cycle, with on-site fuel rep...

The source was HDTV 720p, but I don't have it anymore. Should've looked at it closer, but edited it resized. In the original broadcast, on a 47" TV, it was quite easy to see it was an electrical arc as the electronics disconnected itself (or broke in some way.) The familiar blue/purple flash of the...

Some verification: http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/2009/11/some-verification-of-hadley-cru-files.html I've now seen at least two other people posting on threads who have confirmed that their unaltered emails appear in the stream as well, including one who had agreed to keep his conversation "pr...

Consider, the actual change in energy of the Shuttle from ground to orbit is around 565 million newtons, yet the shuttle launch generates just shy of 5 Billion newtons to do that. Where does the other 4.5 billion newtons go? Mostly to heating air as the shuttle pushes it out of the way. In fact, ha...

Maybe a fuel stop. Other than that, I don't see a lot of advantages for the Moon over any randomly chosen point in space. It has at least one sizable disadvantage: it's at the bottom of a gravity well. Energy to get in, energy to get out. But it's a gravity well only. No atmosphere makes a huge dif...

You can post all the theories you want that claim to refute global warming, but until the ice stops melting LONG TERM, and recovers its former mass, you really don't have much of a case to make. The undeniable evidence proves your anti-global warming BS as just that, BS. Global Sea Ice extent does ...

I'm a big believer in personal responsibility. If you really believe that CO2 is a problem it would be simple enough to eliminate your contribution. Speaking of believing what you preach... If Al Gore really believes that sea levels are going to rise 20 meters in the next 50 years ( An Inconvenient...

Please provide the data you refer to and how it was computed from what proxy sources? I look forward to your referenced scientific paper on this subject. Your temp claims are misleading at best. Show me your non regional information that takes in global averages over many locations and proxies or m...

Yes if our climate gets as warm as the Medieval Warm period or worse the Roman Warm period corals will die just as they did then. And if CO2 in the atmosphere reaches 1,000 ppm it will mean the end of life in the oceans just as it killed off the ocean creatures when atmospheric CO2 was above 1,000 ...

I'll take the easy one -- gravitationally confined fusion.

Chance of success 100%

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

If you claim that to argue profits is the engineer's creed, then I am happy not to fit your idea of an engineer. You are suffering from a common fallacy, that money is the object everyone is after. Money doesn't represent power, or enablement, or anything else that's been tossed around. Money repre...
