So that article agrees with both of you. It says there is warming and agrees that it is human made. The discussion is about that they say most of the models predict too much warming. We have come a long way from people deniying there was any warming at all, to people denying that it was human caused to now disputing how fast it will go.

Whether they are right or not seems a little mute at this point. Can we afford the luxury to do little about it? Even now that most say we are too late to stop warming from going higher then our initial set targets, do we understand enough to know what happens when we go over those targets (no more than 2 degrees rise) whenever that happens to stop doing something about it?

It seems both of you do do something about it, and you have both clearly strong feelings towards the subject, meaning you care. Why not try to find a middle path?

Blaming me for the destruction of the planet or whatever else seems... looney, at best.

"I've never met one that wasn't, and I know hundreds of scientists."

Send me (privately) the names and numbers of these hundreds of climate scientists and I'll conduct a survey. Or perhaps you should spend your days debating every single person online... Y'know.. for fun.

The authors of this article (both of them meteorology professors) have better climate science credentials than you do. One even served within the climate group that shared the Nobel prize with Al Gore for climate change advocacy.

If you really care about climate change, these are the folks you should be debating.. Not me... And not random people on videosift.

Good luck!

My respect for Samson has risen greatly since seeing this. The patience and calm of the man and willingness to answer even the most absurd of questions is amazing. This video says more about his questioners then it does about him or Bilderberg.

That is a pretty major design flaw for a boat. Actually, its a pretty major design flaw for almost anything not drunk.

Joris Luyendijk - They're just like people (2006)

"
In People Like Us, which became a bestseller in Holland, Joris Luyendijk tells the story of his five years as a correspondent in the Middle East. Extremely young for a correspondent but fluent in Arabic, he spoke with stone throwers and terrorists, taxi drivers and professors, victims and aggressors, and all of their families. He chronicles first-hand experiences of dictatorship, occupation, terror, and war. His stories cast light on a number of major crises, from the Iraq War to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, along with less-reported issues such as underage orphan trash-collectors in Cairo.

The more he witnessed, the less he understood, and he became increasingly aware of the yawning gap between what he saw on the ground and what was later reported in the media. As a correspondent, he was privy to a multitude of narratives with conflicting implications, and he saw over and over again that the media favored the stories that would be sure to confirm the popularly held, oversimplified beliefs of westerners. In People Like Us, Luyendijk deploys powerful examples, leavened with humor, to demonstrate the ways in which the media gives us a filtered, altered, and manipulated image of reality in the Middle East." -- amazon

I have no affiliation with the book, except to say I've read it and its amazing. Its brilliant at describing both the Palestinian and Israeli media extravaganza and what both sides do to get on the cover of time magazine. You'll be ashamed of the way our media forms us about the conflict and about the entire region and how wrong we all are.

But why? Why does vibration create larger surface tension (assuming that surface tension is what keeps the bubbles bubbly)? You would expect the opposite.

Oh, now I will not be able to sleep tonight.
