I also note your willingness to jump on a hypothesis, where the mechanism hasn't yet been confirmed, without any skepticism. Quite the opposite of how you approach global warming theory where mechanism has been confirmed..

I'd say that's not an unreasonable theory on his part.

Did you note the word "probably" in your sentence you wrote? Do you understand what that means, especially as contrasted with actual scientific proof?

Quite often (usually, in fact) the Algore types don't understand the difference.

Sal, do you believe that atoms exist?

I suspect I've taken far more university-level courses about atoms and their energy states than you have, pramjockey.

So you can just cut your bullshit sarcasm right now, before you make a complete ass out of yourself.

It means most likely.

Do you understand his entire hyothesis about cosmic rays causing warming of earth is surrounded by an implicit "maybe"?

Just a theory though isn't it? That atomic theory

Still, it's probably right

Touchy touchy.

You're missing my point. You believe atoms exist because you've studied atomic theory in college.

So, perhaps the word "theory" isn't as pejorative as you want to make it out to be.


Oh, and if you're going to start accusing people of making asses of themselves, you should perhaps recall your brilliant poll-reading abilities.

Re: Ski resorts affected by climate change

Great NEWS! Ski resorts are booming in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Quote:
Igora Will Take Resort to New Heights
February 6, 2007



St. Petersburg -- The latest addition to St. Petersburg's ski-resort map will soon complete $20 million worth of development that will allow it to become "the first year-round [ski] resort complex [in the region]," managers of the Igora complex said at a recent news conference. Representatives of Igora, a ski resort 54 kilometers north of St. Petersburg, said a spa complex and swimming pool would feature in the development and add to an already diverse range of services that the resort hopes will improve its attractiveness to visitors.
More good news. There are two and one half times more polar bears than originally thought!

Davis Strait polar bears flourishing, GN says
February 2, 2007



“Scientific knowledge has demonstrated that Inuit knowledge was right” The Davis Strait polar bear population is much more numerous than originally expected, says a preliminary report conducted by Government of Nunavut biologists.

There are some 2,100 polar bears in the Davis Strait population, says the report, which is part of a three-year study currently underway. That’s a big jump from an estimate of about 850 Davis Strait polar bears made by the Canadian Wildlife Service during the early 1980s.

Oh, wait. Whose quote is this? I suspect I'll just get more pointless pictures

No. There are more polar bears in one limited geographic region.


Do you even read this stuff before you spam it?

Ski resorts affected by climate change, they're flourishing.

Isn't more polar bears what Environmentalists want?



In the meantime, there is still too much snow to ski at the World Championships.

Start of ski worlds delayed for third day
Feb 5, 2007



• Women's super-G at ski worlds postponed
• Alpine skiing-Still no race at weather-hit world champs
• Start of Ski Worlds Delayed for 3rd Day
• Subzero chill turns East, Midwest into ice rink



ARE, Sweden (AP) -The start of the Alpine Skiing World Championships was postponed for a third day Monday due to strong winds and poor visibility. The men's super-G, which had already been postponed from Saturday, was moved to Tuesday.

Swedish skier Patrik Jaerbyn said he believed the course was unsafe to race. "It's lethally dangerous to ski the way it is now,'' Jaerbyn said. "It's too windy and the surface is in too bad a shape.'' Heavy snowfall has also battered the course for the last few days.

"There was an incredible amount of snow to move,'' race director Guenther Hujara said. "There was up to six meters (20 feet) of snow which was wind-shifted.

It's amusing to watch the disciples of the "global warming" hoax in action.

If Algore or somebody shows them a picture of 2 polar bears cavorting on a "melting" icefloe, it convinces them that the Earth is undergoing "warming" and that the supposed "warming" is global.

But if somebody else provides them scientific data that the entire northeastern region of the United States is experiencing record cold, then they conclude "Oh, that's just happening in one town!"

And if somebody provides them scientific data that the number of polar bears is on the rise, then they conclude, "Oh, there are just more polar bears in one limited geographic region!"

Clearly "global warming" is a religion to them, and Algore is their high priest. They like the pictures Algore shows them!

Re: Ski resorts affected by climate change

Seriously, Sal, you need to back off. You don't know what you're talking about.

I've never even seen the Al Gore movie.

The article that dodge I (you're seeming to want to be dodge II) posted was about a very small geographic region that was seeing an increase in polar bears. Dodge I posted in such a way to suggest that the entire population of polar bears was dramatically increased.

Of course, the increase or decrease of one species doesn't indicate as much as we would like.


Oh, and, can you perhaps answer the questions that are pointed to you? I know you like to post your nasty little nit-picks and offend as many as possible, but it'd be nice if you could maybe actually answer a question or two every once in a while.

It was a glimmer of hope along with so much snow that it was too dangerous to ski.

They have. There are almost three times as many polar bears today as there were in 1960s. That was posted in the closed polar bear thread a month or so ago.

It only indictates something when there is a political agenda. Once it was learned that the polar bear population is high, the Environmentalist have to resort to other tactics to install Socialism.

There is so much snow in Sweden that they are still unabel to ski.
Quote:
Heavy snow grounds world skiing
Mon, February 5, 2007



"There is a Swedish saying that if you want snow, schedule a downhill race. But if you really want a lot of snow, schedule a world championship," organizing committee race director Jan-Erik Hedstrom said.

Re: Ski resorts affected by climate change

This morning's Drudge Report lists a news item about another major snowstorm in store for the Northeast.

Not surprisingly, the driveby media goes silent with their "global warming" hoax articles whenever record cold hits a region, and instead runs articles about the "global warming" myth when record heat hits a region. The driveby media, like Algore, really knows how to use propaganda to sell the hoax of "global warming" to the gullible.
