Water..too much or too little?? Flooding, draught, or the drinking kind??

I think the problem with water in NY is that we do not have enough "designer bottled water" on the market. Did the History Channel cover that ?? 5 years...OMG well I guess I don;t have to worry about my 401K anymore or the deficit, or smoking, maybe I'll take up drinking again..seeing that my demise is 5 years away...damn I'm thirsty already..I'm coming mama..make room for me......loonies

with that, i gotta hit the hay, it's way past my bedtime. see ya manana.
I was waiting for his answer, and was confused by all his answers too. He probably does not bother to read his own posts. When people are neck deep into partisan issues, then be cohesive, making sense or being consistent are all tossed out the window. Or maybe its a form of 0bama-speak "What I said 10 minutes ago is irrelevant, listen to what I'm saying now."

tell us which aspects of climate aren't explained or explainable on a physical basis, as you assume to know.

the poster is a she, apparently.

she was too busy emoting to notice that rather gigantic clash of statements.

Of course, Obama hadn't delivered his speech yesterday. Today he told the world that at the summit he had been at they agreed that all those advanced nations had to stop producing so much CO2 because they all agree with the UN and Algore about how to break the US and its economy. I hope the Senate waits a day or two before voting on Crap and Tax so they have a chance to recover from that so well delivered speech by The Man.

How long has it been since you've taken a physics class?

Here are a sequence of classes from a university's bachelor of science program:

Math 141, 142, 143, 241 Calculus 16
Math 244 Linear Analysis I 4
Math 304 Vector Analysis 4
Math 344 Linear Analysis II 4
Phys 141, 132, 133 General Physics 12
Phys 202 Physics on the computer 4
Phys 206/256 Instrumentation in experimental physics (lab) 4
Phys 211 Modern Physics I 4
Phys 212 Modern Physics II 4
Phys 301 Thermal Physics I 3
Phys 302 Analytical Mechanics I 4
Phys 323 Optics (includes lab) 5
Phys 340 Quantum Lab I 2
Phys 341 Quantum Lab II 1
Phys 342 Quantum Lab III 2
Phys 405 Quantum Mechanics I 4
Phys 408 Electromagnetic Fields and Waves 4
Phys 461 (or 463) Senior Project 2
Phys 462 (or 464) Senior Project 2

Its more math than it is anything else.

$$$?

Who do you think is getting rich off of government subsidized "green energy" technology? Huge global corporations like General Electric.

Want to know who is advising 0bama on his White House Economic Recovery Advisory Board? None other then GE's CEO, Jeffery Immelt, James Owens from Caterpillar Inc., the president of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, and union boss Dick Trumka from A.F.L.-C.I.O. and Anna Burger from the Service Employees International Union (created by the co-founder of ACORN)

There are hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S.GOVERNMENT money being funneled into green energy projects and corporations, not to mention the money from the governments of foreign countries.

Wake up, it is about money, free taxpayer money, and no limits. There is more money involved in these federally funded "stop global warming" projects then the private scetor could ever dream of. In fact, if you do not want huge sums of taxpayer money going into corporations to subsidize green energy projects, Henry Waxman says you are "rooting against America" and "against the world."

You seem to have lost track in your hysteria of the argument.

You claimed 3 years out of 150 were not enough to offer a conclusion.

I countered that with 150 year out of 6 billion was definitely not.

Who is the idiot?
um, you.

To draw a conclusion based on 150 years is the epitome of stupidity.
no, drawing a conclusion based on 3 years of data is the epitome of stupidity. Keep repeating, and repeating, and repeating...

Cool! May be you're still preparing a response to my previous post, and while at it, do use these principles to explain why you didn't care about the equivalency drawn between oceanic average temperature and one measured at lower atmosphere and whether it actually matters!
