    Thats just so stupid and sick. Good people being sent to jail because idiots don't understand the limitations of science.

    Now, if they locked up the bad lawyers, politicians and doctors too, they might be on to something.

    Many people want to change world economic policy based on computer models and "climate change", even when evidence surfaces showing that data has been manipulated.

    BTW - Isn't it odd that there wasn't a single discussion on "climate change" in any of the 3 presidential debates?

    Wonder why?

    May I add those who believe 100% in 'man-made global warming science' as idiots?

    I am in my lab right now running western blots to determine certain labile protein levels in macrophages after inhibition of protein synthesis caused by inflammation.

    I believe in man-made global warming.

    GOD, don't mess with papag when it comes to this stuff. He has a (social) science background and understands it better than any of us can ever hope to.

    You're using the scientific method and are running your test in a controlled environment, I am assuming. I'd expect no less, yet you seem to accept less by believing 100% in the 'man-made global warming' scam and computer models that attempt to predict future climate patterns.

    How is that repeatable, or even tested as being factual?

    Personal attack!! I should PM Sly, like MickZagger does when his bigoted posts are called for what they are!

    What have you added to this conversation?

    Lol -- so I am bigoted against social science majors? That's heavy stuff -- I'm going to need to take some time, reflect and change my ways.

    I talked to a pastor once. Probably one of your flock even. He says he believes in you.

    Or, you should know the difference between a controlled experiment and wild-assed guessing via computer models that can't be controlled.

    I assume me meant control as in experimental control.

    In any case, you should be able to feed known (from the past) data into a model and reproduce the past (measured results).

    Honestly, I'm not sure what was meant. Seemed to be that models are a waste of time, in his mind.

    The atmosphere of the earth is a pretty big test tube, so it's not easy to assess climate change. I'd like to thing everyone would agree on that, no matter what side of the fence they're on.

    I don't think the models are a waste of time, but I also don't think they're much proof of anything.

    As I've pointed out before, if car crash models were accurate enough, they wouldn't need to do the actual car crash tests. But they're not. And car crash models are many many many orders of magnitude simpler to get right than modeling the earth (and universe).
