BTW I think you're the poster child for the thread Do You Value the Opinions of Educated People More Than the Uneducated? There are quite a few on the thread who espouse relying on "common sense".

You and dcashley should hook up. You're a great tag team.
Common sense is pretty important. But folks like you, that lack both intelligence and common sense, can still get a piece of paper saying you got an education.

LOL from a guy who thinks water goes above 212° F while boiling in a pot.

You keep trying Kramar.

It does. It still boils when it is above 212, turns into steam? Sure, but the water still in the pot can exceed 212. That's just simple fact.

That's a 23 foot increase in sea level. How's that for real data? Statistically, how many homes and businesses that are now occupied will be inundated Mr. Statistician?

According to NOAA the ten warmest years in recorded history have all occurred in the last dozen years. What's the probability of that occurring by chance Mr. Statistician?

Get to work, Sparky
You are apparently unable to deal with the facts that I posted. So much for your high-falutin' grad degree. So much for your credibility. As a result, your propositions regarding anything scientific are not credible. Ah well, Mr. Smokescreen--keep it up, I am sure you will hood wink a few unsuspecting types here in CD.

An NTC thermistor is a semiconductor made from metalic
oxides, pressed into a small bead, disk, wafer, or other shape,
sintered at high temperatures, and then coated with epoxy or
glass. The resulting device exhibits an electrical resistance that
has a very predictable change with temperature.

That quite literally blows the whole theory of HVAC/R out of the water. You'd make a lot of people mad with these statements because that would mean they'd been doing it wrong for over a century. I don't agree with rlchurch on much but on this he/she's 100% correct.

My graduate degree is economics/finance. But I thought a statistical wizard like you would be able to give us a statistical opinion on the odds that by pure chance 10 of the warmest years in recorded history all happened in the last 12 years. That's a testable proposition, right? Up your alley? Something a sophomore statistics student should be able to calculate.

As long as a vessel of water is boiling at 760 mmHg, it will remain at 100°C until the phase change is complete. Rapidly boiling water is not at a higher temperature than slowly boiling water. The stability of the boiling point makes it a convenient calibration temperature for temperature scales.

And when I come back and tell you that I was successful in doing so? What will you say then?
