The greenhouse effect that has maintained the Earth’s temperature at a level warm enough for human civilization to develop over the past several millennia is controlled by non-condensable gases, mainly carbon dioxide, CO2, with smaller contributions from methane, CH4, nitrous oxide, N2O, and ozone,...

But you have to understand that there are many other large variables at play, such as our position within the galactic arms which determines cosmic ray bombardment, the earths waning magnetic field strength of late, and ozone depletion which blocks UV rays that are 40x more energetic than IR for wh...

I stand by my statement -on correction to use stored 'hydrocarbons', the CO2 being released from man's activity over the past 100-200 years via burning millions of years worth of stored hydrocarbons at the current rate required for our energy requirements, is obviously going to affect our climate. ...

If you think that releasing millions of years worth of stored CO2 in a period of two hundred years or so, is not going to affect the climate...well you are as dumb as a turd. I used to believe that as I watched camp fires burn and wondered where the heat went, but now I've realized that the heat si...

If you think that releasing millions of years worth of stored CO2 in a period of two hundred years or so, is not going to affect the climate...well you are as dumb as a turd. What is exactly "millions of years worth of stored CO2"? How can you claim that the CO2 is "worth millions of years"? I thin...

Shit. I had now idea he made it that far..

It depends on how one 'Trolls'. For example, I could troll by saying all Americans are simple minded gun loving, burger eating, money infatuated, carbon emitting morons with little understanding of the consequences to themselves. There are a lot of people on this planet that would feel irrational to...

If you think that releasing millions of years worth of stored CO2 in a period of two hundred years or so, is not going to affect the climate...well you are as dumb as a turd. A star from afar or so close this one i boast does power my car i run afar places never guilt now its coated in silt aeons of...

If phil had his way with the English language, a play by Shakespeare would have been along the lines of:- A fat cat sat on the mat.

Atto: There you go again with your childish insults. So, fuck you. Fuck your mother and anything else related to you. After all, if you are going to come around like a little punk and call me names, I may as well respond in kind, right? Please state the 'name' that I called you? I simply stated tha...

So you hate the US too. What did the US do to you?

I don't hate the US, just wish its people would wake up to what the government gets up to. For example:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra

PE: Do you really think someone like Veggie could handle a language based on logic? I don't. I think one of the major reasons language is illogical is precisely because language is around to coddle the irrational people like Veggie here. You think language is irrational then attempt to suggest VT i...

Thank you, doc, uwot. Happy Easter to you and everyone else.

It's said you need rules (grammar) for language to function and be effective. Yet for language to grow, it needs to adapt. In comparing American with British, there are a couple of examples that come to mind. For example theater was once spelled theatre in the US. Under that spelling, it would be p...
