Yeah, I had observed that in an earlier global warming thread - the frustration I have is dealing with people criticizing science that they don't understand because it conflicts with their personal worldview. And these arguments have the same tende…

Good point Giant - I apologize for not having caught up on the thread before posting. The link definitely only presented the parts of the story that supported their contention, and neglected the parts that undermined it. So I guess Scott is stil…

Well, I think there are two issues here (for me anyway). One is the W being AWOL or not....I admit that link certainly casts doubt on it (for me) - I checked the NYTimes, and would have to pay to purchase the actual articles, so I think I will with…

OK ? for the sake of those who might mistakenly think you are making relevant points, I will continue to correct you? Originally posted by fishdoc ... A. It is longitude you are thinking of, not latitude. Scott: I stand corrected. I've …

Actually, you missed quite a bit. Let me try to sumamrize for you - I will not bother with a point-by-point, because your last post demonstrates that is a waste of time. 1. Read the original article that started this thread - it does not state t…

Wow...where to begin.... "OKAY I read the paper. It's not my area so I wont speak authoritatively. " And yet you start your "critique" nontheless. "They averaged out the data from column of water at that location. I have no basis to know if…

I see criticism, but nothing I would describe as hate. YMMV.

Interesting. I have not seen it (but, as I say, I have not logged that many hours). I usually see the derailing and silence bits (pretending that they meant something else or just never responding). The stricter rules around here seem to have s…

Ah, Scott, you have not left after all. OK then, tell me this. When you said "At worst Bush failed to show up for jumping jacks and marching. That's not even close to AWOL". Is that true? What you failed to show up for affects whether it count…

OK, veering off-topic here, but does anyone EVER admit they are wrong on these forums? Or is it just rare? (I am truly not being sarcastic, but serious - you can see by my post count I have not been here that long (although I do lurk more than I po…

From the WHOI website, you will see it was Dec 17. edited ot add - I did read the entire thread, and saw you make no other claim of factual innacuracy in the article, other than your vaguely-worded problem with a Nobel laureate being mentioned.

The article was wrong and had other misleading facts in it? Which are? You never told us. You doubt the article because a reporter put PhD in front of a scientist's name who is not a PhD? If that is the best you can do for finding fault with th…

Scott - not exactly a graceful way to admit you were mistaken (which I hope you realize now), but I suppose it will have to do. Fish

Scott, this is a paper that is being published in Nature. Peer reviewed by world experts. Curry is NOT the sole author, simply the lead author. So - we have a respected scientist doing work with other respected scientists, reviewed by expert…

Do you honestly believe that you have to be "full time military" to be AWOL? What do you mean his "unit was inactive"? He was ordered to report to a national guard unit that, by all accounts (except W's), never saw him. Is that absent? Yup. We…

"At worst Bush failed to show up for jumping jacks and marching. That's not even close to AWOL" Do you know what AWOL means? How does what your particular service duties are factor into your status as absent? This is just silly. I, too, was …

The N&O did not conduct the poll - they paid for an independent research group from MD to do that.

Just so you know, 600 people is not a particularly small poll. It is a function of the sample size (among other things) that dictate the margin or error listed on the poll (ou can also follow that link to other polls that show his support growing).…

Can you point us to any polls in NC that support this? Fish edited to add - the only ones I am aware of show pretty reasonable support in NC (http://www.newsobserver.com/edwards/ ) F

well said midwinter...those "rights" are NOT what the aclu is fighting for. It is your rights, and mine, and every other American's rights they are fighting for.
