RE: Global Warming
Even the climate change alarmists have given away the fact that their computer models are completely inaccurate. I just saw a news story about how the ice in the north is already as thin as the models had projected would happen in 20 to 40 years. That doesn't bode well for any arguments based on computer models. A thinking person would soon recognize that we're still at the beginning stages of even figuring out what kind of data to grab and where and how often to get it in order to build a very simplistic model of the worldwide climate.
As for a website, you'll find both sides, but you won't find one that isn't debunked by the other side. Since there has been a great deal of collusion on the subject, the vast majority of information is on the man-caused side. A true scientist is always skeptical and questioning the "knowledge" of the day, but the great scientists are never very popular in their time.
My own take? I remember in grade school learning that animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide while plants inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. To "demonize" carbon dioxide is an attack against virtually every living thing on earth.
We should be focusing our time and energy on things we can do something about - not on things we can't do something about. In the meantime, let true scientist continue to try to better understand the many interactions involved - there's a long way yet to go.
RE: Dynamics of the Hensley 'BUMP'?
...
Okay Don…fire away…but before you do…a little birdie told me that the fellows over on sunnybrooktalk have DELETED (i.e. REMOVED ALL REFERENCE TO) the ‘slander post’ I linked to above…perhaps they didn’t like being called on FACTS about the ‘bump’ feature and having it discussed in their home. What were Seans words…let me see…something to the effect of ‘letting adults discuss something’…seems like as long as it is a topic of ‘approval’ over there you can discuss it. I CHOSE to raise my head up into this topic and start a fire storm…it was obvious I was in the middle of home field over there and folks didn’t want to discuss a possible ‘bad’ feature…so I left and they were happy that I took my ‘differing’ opinion based on facts with me…now it seems they just wiped the whole record clean…very interesting indeed in a so called democracy…
Joe.Joe,
I'd like to say that you didn't get the typical experience over at Sunnybrook Talk, but the reasons weren't what you've taken them to be. It is true that most of us over there share in common that we are Sunnybrook owners, so it benefits us to not alienate ourselves from one another probably moreso than it might in a forum such as the ORF.
The problem is that your impression was formed from a very short stint where you participated primarily in only one of thousands of threads. From the start you shared your good and useful information in such a way that it seemed you had a bone to grind.
If you took a look at Sunnybrook Talk right now, you'd see that the most active thread is decrying the removal of that thread you linked to. See What happened to the "Hot" HA thread. That thread grew as fast as any I have seen over there, accumulating 36 posts in less than 12 hours. Unfortunately, the owner of the servers SB Talk runs on removed it because of the disparaging nature of conversation, not the subject matter. In all the years I've participated over there, I've never seen that happen.
Perhaps a more friendly approach and taking on the manner of a visitor might've prevented our loss.
