Looks like the coherency is more on your ability to grasp logical reasoning backed by obvious facts.

Not going to agree, nor disagree with whatever, I am sure, extensive research, studies, journals, you have read, written and reviewed. Because it would be like talking to a wall whenever it comes to two people talking about either politics, religion, money, and science with different opinions. But, I will say this, I mean I guess you could, but in some settings, one just can't start splurging out theories, opinions, with a base for arguments being that you talk or know allegedly "PhD'd level individuals", and call them obvious facts.



That is the equivalent of me saying I would know how to operate a power plant because I hold conversations with electrical engineers from time to time.



Other than that, post , or troll at your own leisure. Can't stop you, won't stop you. The ICE thread is slowing down a bit.

So allegedly you, as an individual, have the authority to decide who get's funded. You use this authority to to fund those who's research matches your preconceived ideas by fraudulently manipulating information.

I am also very interested on what sort of ROI you are looking at in their budgets.

We are in a long term warming trend coming out of the ice-age, but the rate of change recently has greatly accelerated. Two different things that are often confused. We often hear, for instance, about rising sea level, and people will quote that sea level was 300 feet lower just 10k-12k years ago, so raising a few more meters in 50-100 years is not a big deal and totally normal. Well, sea level rise is a non-linear event, and we have had 800 years of fairly stable sea levels to build grand cities near the oceans without issues, but this stability is being disrupted, and it will cost trillions of dollars. The warming now is different and rapid compared to the past.

Understood, that's basically what I said, it's not "or" it's an "and".

You could take either out of the equation and the net change is still up, but not as much.

SEE! The glaciers melting are the cause of global warning.

My point is that it isn't even an "And". The increase is anthropomorphic. The year over year addition is not at historical natural levels, as you can see. There is more of an exponential rise recently that coincides and is best explained by anthropomorphic causes, which is why I am saying it isn't an "And"; it is 99% anthropomorphic (made up percentage used to illustrate the difference between human and natural rise).

I think we are all little ants on this planet. We have been given enough brain to argue, but no understanding of how things really work, given our tiny brains, our giant ego, and tiny time on this earth. None of you know anything.

I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese.
