Global Warming

[TykeMerc]

Sasguru if you want people to change their opinions and take up the AGW cause or at least not think it's founded on poor science do you really think that calling them names will help them to see your point?

I'm always open to a well reasoned and presented argument, I've just not read one from you yet...

[sasguru]

I did answer. Come on stop weasling, the next questions won't be so easily googled.

For high speed electrons or protons, relativistic effects need to be taken into account.

Is that your answer?

[shaunbhoy]

you'll find that scientists routinely break down complex scenarios in an attempt to get at the crux of the matter or to find suggestions for hypothesis.

How the fook would YOU know muttonhead?

Thanks for that Einstein.
But if you knew anything about anything you'll find that scientists routinely break down complex scenarios in an attempt to get at the crux of the matter or to find suggestions for hypothesis.
How do you propose to design an experiment to test the whole complex Carbon Cycle?
How are you going to separate variables of interest from confounding ones?
Are you really as moronic as you're coming across?

You can't. You have to have faith. Either that or take the scientific stance and be open to doubt rather than adopt a dogmatic position based on things you can't hope to understand.

Yes, now come on and answer. Do you know the first thing about relativity?

[TimberWolf]

iirc

a body will continue in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change by the action upon it of an external force

two bodies will attract each other with a force proportional to their mass and inversely proportional to their distance apart

two bodies will act and react in equal and oppostite directions

Not bad if done from memory. Inverse square.

[sasguru]

What makes you think it is wrong?

Well it was a pile of utter bollux to suggest that size doesn't matter when it comes to Newton's laws, eh old bean?

Why? Now answer the question.

[sasguru]

You can't. You have to have faith. Either that or take the scientific stance and be open to doubt rather than adopt a dogmatic position based on things you can't hope to understand.

You're not even logical.
So either you have faith or take the scientific stance, right?
Yet you say you can't design an experiment to model it?
Which one is it, FFS?

[sasguru]

Why? Now answer the question.

Why? I don't know. No one does.
All we can say is that we need a new theory to predict the behaviour of sub-atomic particles.
That was the correct answer, Science can't answer why, only how.
And yet you didn't pick that up, Mr super dooper scientist.
I'm off to the pub now - there'll be more logic from the local drunk.
