• Re: The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal e

    That crap is 2 1/2 years old. I'm pretty sure you posted it back then.
    It was fact-checked back then too.

    Factcheck.org: http://www.factcheck.org/2015/02/nothing-false-about-temperature-data/

    Excerpt:

    "A series of blog posts... by climate change denier Paul Homewood
    which were highly publicized in two stories by Christopher Booker
    in the Daily Telegraph in London. Both writers focused on the
    adjustments made to temperature readings at certain monitoring
    stations around the world, and claimed that those adjustments throw
    the entire science of global warming into question. This is not at
    all the case, and those adjustments are a normal and important part
    of climate science."

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. agency responsible for monitoring national and global temperature trends,
    has addressed these types of adjustments several times before."

    ***

    This article is from last month: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/07/170724133153.htm

    Excerpts:

    "Earlier this year Arctic sea ice sank to a record low
    wintertime extent for the third straight year."

    "Most of the central Arctic Ocean used to be covered with thick
    multiyear ice that would not completely melt during the summer
    and reflect back sunshine... But we have now lost most of this
    old ice and exposed the open ocean below, which absorbs most of
    the sun's energy. That's one reason the Arctic warming has
    increased nearly twice the global average -- when we lose the
    reflecting cover of the Arctic Ocean, we lose a mechanism to
    cool the planet."

    ***

    The big deal your article makes about warmer water influx
    is just one of the issues involved, and is not the full story.

    Here's a more accurate general look, including current conditions: http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/

    Excerpts:

    "This May, sea ice in the Chukchi Sea was at a record low for the
    satellite data record. The early retreat of ice in this region may
    partially be a result of unusually warm ocean temperatures in the region."

    [So yeah, that sometimes does happen, but here's the big picture,
    little man:]

    "Our past reports, and many other sources, have noted that the
    Arctic region is warming faster than the rest of the globe.
    This warming has accelerated in recent years, particularly
    since 2005. The ten warmest years on record for the Arctic are
    within the past twelve years, and 2016 was by far the warmest
    in the record since 1900."

    ***

    The 10 warmest years on record for the Arctic (as a whole)
    happened within the past 12 years.

    Please stop wasting my time with your bad sources.

    dullard! :P

    Here's an ethnographic paper on bad "sauces" -v- good "sauces"...

    "In 1984 Paul Stoller, an anthropologist, and Cheryl Olkes, a
    sociologist, travelled to Niger to conduct a study on the medicinal
    properties of plants used in Songhay ethnomedicine. Since both Stoller
    and Olkes were seasoned fieldworkers among the Songhay, they had
    experienced the pleasures of Songhay hospitality. And so when they
    came to the compound of Adamu Jenitongo, in Tillaberi, they were not
    surprised when Moussa, one of Adamu Jenitongo's sons, insisted that
    they stay in his mudbrickh ouse. They were not surprisedw hen AdamuJ
    enitongo, an old healer whom Stoller had known for 15 years, gave them
    his best straw mattresses. "You will sleep well on these," he told
    them. They were not surprised when the old healer told Djebo, the wife
    of his youngest son, Moru, to prepare fine sauces for them.

    Stoller and Olkes had come to Tillaberi to discuss the medicinal
    properties of plants with Adamu Jenitongo, perhaps the most
    knowledgeable healer in all of western Niger. They planned to stay in
    Tillaberi for two weeks and then move on to Mehanna and Wanzerbe, two
    villages in which Stoller had won the confidence of healers. During
    the two weeks in Tillaberi, Stoller and Olkes ate a variety of foods
    and sauces. Some days they ate rice with black sauce (hoy bi) for
    lunch and rice with a tomato based sauce flavored with red pepper and
    sorrel for dinner. Some days they ate rice cooked in a tomato sauce
    (suruundu) for lunch and millet paste with peanut sauce for dinner.
    All of these sauces contained meat, a rare ingredient in most Songhay
    meals. When Songhay entertain Europeans-Stoller and Olkes for
    example-the staples of the diet don't change, but the quality of the
    sauces do. Europeans are guests in Songhay compounds; people do not
    pre-pare tasteless sauces for them!

    People in the neighborhood had the same perception: "They have come to
    visit Adamu Jenitongo again. There will be good food in the compound."
    In good times a host spares no expense. In bad times Stoller and Olkes
    quietly slip Adamu Jenitongo money so he can fulfill his ideal
    behavior.

    The arrival of Stoller and Olkes in Tillaberi that year, in fact, was
    a bright beacon that attracted swarms of the "uninvited" in search of
    savory sauces. At lunch and dinner time visitors would arrive and
    linger, knowing full well that the head of a Songhay household is
    obliged to feed people who happen to show up at meal times. (Stoller
    and Olkes, 336-337)"

    lol

    it's only 'contextually' correct (smile...)

    step outside the whole frame in which it (logic) applies, however, and
    there's no such labels for everything, even the 'term' brain doesn't exist!

    i.e., there's more to life, the universe & everything than reason & logic alone! (and it's probably that 'other' 90+% of the standard model lol:)

    there are some very 'illogical' and 'unreasonable' things out there!
    'things' that will never yield to reason!

    perforce assumptions based entirely on logic & reason are therefore only
    ever partially correct + only ever apply strictly 'within' (and not beyond/outside) the context OF logic and reason itself!

    we ourselves 'invented' that world of logic & reason!

    it IS our projection! one we 'superimpose' upon reality and then
    perceptually reject anything that doesn't (or can't) be made to conform to
    it's (reasons') own standards/criterion! that in that sense it is mutually exclusive to anything 'but' itself! it recognises only itself!

    of course there's far more to everything than that? but by dint of putting
    a limit on reason/logic, it limits perception! (some might even argue; deliberately so!) like a set of blinders/blinkers on a horse; it
    deliberately limits the range of our perception!

    what they (our educators) DIDN'T tell us, however, is that we can take
    them off ;)

    I agree with this. While climate change is undeniably happening (and
    probably allways has and will), whether it's anthropogenic will only
    be known with certitude based on historic evidence perhaps half a
    century from now. The paucity of records at this stage will not be
    reflected in 50 years' time - there will be plenty of records from all
    over the globe, unlike the last 50 years. So, in lieu of
    extrapolating and interpolating, we will have continuous data from
    which to make very strong conclusions.

    The geological record on the other hand shows plenty of changes to
    both extremes of temperature and levels of CO2 and O2 and other gases.
    But over most of that frame the human species didn't exist.



    the only thing i know for sure is that of NOT trusting them OR their data!

    Define "them".

    you've 'believed' people before and it only fucked you up! (that's proof!)

    We know this. Move on.


    so always reserve a bit of doubt ok? no matter HOW adamant they are!

    no matter HOW convincing their... stories!

    Both sides of the anthropogenic CC argument have been caught
    manipulating data, interpolating on unsafe stochastic grounds,
    extrapolating trends etc with too few datum points and so on.


    in fact, the more convincing and adamant they are is the less am inclined
    to fall for it!

    You need to examine the data yourself and form your own conclusions.
    At this stage, the records are incomplete, only cover the recent human
    past and and only cover small fractions of the globe.


    they appear to have a great 'need' to have things fixed down! only it
    never is!

    Define "they".


    i don't HAVE any such need... am curious about everything but nothing is >nailed down!

    things change, nothing is written in stone!

    But facts are facts. They are carved into the stone of the past.
    Everything in the past, including lies, becomes a fact due to the
    passage of time. Ie - it is a *fact* that such and such a lie was
    told on 3 January 1904 by so and so at a certain location to such and
    such an audience.

    yesterday's 'facts' are nonsense today! and will be different again
    tomorrow!

    Slider, that is the biggest pile of bullshit I have ever heard you
    utter and you have uttered plenty. How can a fact become a non-fact?
    Use the conditional "alleged" and I might pardon it.


    (and if ya don't know that then ya don't know anything! :)

    Says you...


    'perception' is what it's about! perceived truths! perceived beliefs!

    No, it's all about factual data as opposed to hyperbole,
    misinformation, lies and statistical anomalies. Locate and isolate
    the facts and then draw your own conclusions using deduction and
    induction.


    perceived... facts!

    BS.


    our history is naught but a long line of evolving perceived... ideas!

    Nope. Our history is a long line of environmental impacts on the
    species (natural history) interwoven with a long line of invention and
    conflict (human history).


    'fashionable' ideas! (fashionable in both senses of the term: mallable AND >what's in vogue!)

    lol the things they've pulled outta their ass to date is astounding!?!

    Have a look at the latest LIGO experiments and a scanning electron

    ours is a primitive society and culture. LOL. Also, why do you put
    inverted commas around simple words like "primitive" without explaing
    why you do so? Do you think we all think like you or do you think
    we're telepaths?


    simpletons! (mostly...)

    Nope. Our IQ is precisely plotted on a normal distribution. Mostly,
    we're of average intellect as measured between ourselves on a
    representative basis.


    there's been a few bright sparks tho... (bright-er...)

    Many, many - but 75% of us, as always, have been and are of average intelligence.


    but they're mostly ignored/ridiculed (or even gotten rid of...)

    Bullshit. They are mostly revered as superior intellects especially
    when their character is beguiling, as for instance Einstein and
    Feynmann's characters were.


    mainly because they don't... 'agree'??

    Crap. Einstein was so advanced in sheer intellect his ideas of
    gravitational waves formulated purely as thought almost 100 years ago
    were proven beyond doubt by LIGO only as recently as 2015. Everyone
    agreed with Einstein in the intervening period because of his sheer
    brilliance.



    they don't wanna be in the... 'club'

    What fucking club? Have you put your tinfoil trifoil on Slider?


    oooh look at us, we all agree so that MAKES us right!

    Defiine "us" and "we"


    riiiight... :D

    so excuse me please if i head-off in the opposite direction mate?

    What direction would that be? The direction diametrically opposed to
    the rest of humanity? Into 4D space? Into orbit? Oh, I get it,
    you're being fashionably obscure. Riiiight.


    'coz the 'very opposite' of what that lot EVER think/believe will always
    be 'infinitely' closer to reality than where THAT lot's going!

    Fuck me, you don't NEED to smoke dope Brian. You're already well out
    there mate. Get back on your meds. You have no idea how insane that
    makes you sound, do you?


    believe me! ;)

    I don't and nor doesn anyone else. You're on your own. Wake up.

    it's only 'contextually' correct (smile...)

    An invalid syllogism, and a great example of your 'thinking',
    provided by you. :)


    step outside the whole frame in which it (logic) applies, however, and there's no such labels for everything, even the 'term' brain doesn't exist!

    i.e., there's more to life, the universe & everything than reason & logic alone! (and it's probably that 'other' 90+% of the standard model lol:)

    You TRY to reason virtually every time you post, yet usually fail. :)
    Literally no one ever says or believes that logic is the only thing
    there is to life and the universe. :)

    But when you do reason, do it cogently and correctly.


    there are some very 'illogical' and 'unreasonable' things out there!
    'things' that will never yield to reason!

    You, for example. LOL. :)


    perforce assumptions based entirely on logic & reason are therefore only
    ever partially correct + only ever apply strictly 'within' (and not beyond/outside) the context OF logic and reason itself!

    we ourselves 'invented' that world of logic & reason!

    We ourselves invented the 'world' of the arts. And cooking.
    And lucid dreaming. So what?


    it IS our projection! one we 'superimpose' upon reality and then
    perceptually reject anything that doesn't (or can't) be made to conform to it's (reasons') own standards/criterion! that in that sense it is mutually exclusive to anything 'but' itself! it recognises only itself!

    I tell you, there is more to the universe than cooking alone!
    Or watching movies. Or taking a walk in the park.


    of course there's far more to everything than that? but by dint of putting
    a limit on reason/logic, it limits perception! (some might even argue; deliberately so!) like a set of blinders/blinkers on a horse; it
    deliberately limits the range of our perception!

    "Some might argue..." it limits perception, then fail to back it up. :)
    Help, I'm having trouble seeing the mountains today! I'm too reasonable.
    LOL.


    what they (our educators) DIDN'T tell us, however, is that we can take
    them off ;)

    What do you think you can perceive that others can't?
    Give us, and those terrible 'educators', an example.

    ### - you 'say/accept' that so very easily like you really know that, and

    SAY there's MORE than reason alone and then proceed with reasonable ONLY propositions exclusively??

    iow: you admit to there being 2 sides to the coin but only ever deal with
    one of them! anything perhaps suggestive of the 'other' side always
    immediately rubbished and rejected out of hand!

    make your mind up already can't you? :)





    But when you do reason, do it cogently and correctly.

    ### - so maybe i just been fuckin' with all ya along then eh? ever

    You, for example. LOL. :)

    ### - (haha funny...) and reason ALONE... no!

    after all, and as you just confirmed; there's more than reason alone to it
    all! yes?

    there's that other side of the coin to also be taken into consideration!

    'reason alone' (or the attempt at any rate...) is, for instance, arguably ultimately responsible for destroying our world! it's too lopsided to be entirely sane! a reasonable trade-off is the only realistic answer then,
    no? the percentages of either/or, to be worked out!





    perforce assumptions based entirely on logic & reason are therefore only
    ever partially correct + only ever apply strictly 'within' (and not
    beyond/outside) the context OF logic and reason itself!

    we ourselves 'invented' that world of logic & reason!

    We ourselves invented the 'world' of the arts. And cooking.
    And lucid dreaming. So what?

    ### - correction: we made worlds 'of' them and set them competing?

    otoh, the universe doesn't appear to need to deal in things like that to
    do everything it's already done! only we humans think that way! we
    invented that whole way of thinking! the newcomers on the block! and we've tried to 'squeeze' everything into that paradigm ever since! effectively
    we've been trying to put 'infinity' in a box! no wonder then if it's all somewhat... distorted? that it's ultimately destroying our world and
    ourselves along with it too in the process??

    it's ridiculous to say there's MORE to life, the universe & everything
    than reason & logic alone can account for, and then pursue reason & logic
    alone to the exclusion of all and everything else?!?

    it's not... balanced! :)






    it IS our projection! one we 'superimpose' upon reality and then
    perceptually reject anything that doesn't (or can't) be made to conform
    to

    LOL.

    ### - no problem seeing a mountain, anyone can do that, but if you wanna 'experience' mountain, then you'll have to do something more than just
    being reasonable alone about it ;)





    what they (our educators) DIDN'T tell us, however, is that we can take
    them off ;)

    What do you think you can perceive that others can't?
    Give us, and those terrible 'educators', an example.

    ### - smile, when you asked me this the last time (very early on...) i
    gave you jean paul sartre, who literally (along with his pal albert
    camus...) went to all the trouble of spelling it all out for the
    intellectuals PLUS examples! and your reply was (wait for it heh...) "oh
    well i never liked him anyway" ??? (or words to that effect LOL)

    i even posted one of his examples! (of him sitting in some french park and everything turns all surreal... he said the park 'smiled' at him when
    left? heh... tripping WITHOUT the acid!)

    leave me out of it jeremy, am nothing! no one! but he was a real dude! the
    real deal! accepted!

    literally SPELLED it all out because the intellectual-type needs
    everything placed in the correct precise order for it to even make any
    sense! he DID that! talk about climbing a mountain lol! but they fucking
    did it! bravo!

    no more excuses now, see? there it ALL is for us! why then aren't they (humanity) just getting on with it all then, climbing mountains??

    oh, well that's because we never really liked him anyway??? LOL LOL!!!

    or Rimbaud either! apparently! hah!

    and a bunch of others too! real diamonds most of 'em, gems!

    find a lot of them (a cluster then) in the jazz world for instance?

    stars indeed! brief flashes mostly! shooting stars! so cool...

    sending out vibes that even the most lowly can resonate to! pure sound!

    it can move you even if you don't understand it! it reaches! touches
    something indefinable! sets it off/in motion!

    a genuine example! - good stuff! :)

    McGregor put on a good fight against Mayweather.
    I thought (in the beginning of the fight) that
    Conor had a good chance of beating Floyd. But
    Floyd got on a roll in the 10th round landed
    18 straight blows to the head before the ref
    called it a night. Thank you referee, that Conor
    can take some punches. But enough is enough, we
    don't want no serious brain damage.

    Mayweather's cut on this action was
    between 300 and 360 million.

    McGregor is clearing OVER 100 million.

    not bad eh?

    Floyd in his 21 years of beating the
    shit out of his opponets has made 1 billon dollars.
    50-1.
