It's going to be a shit show. I agree.

That click bait article was referred to by the Wiki article. I'll be using a range of articles from scientific publications.

Do you have a picture?

That title was click bait. The article was supposed support this statement: "The amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gases emitted into Earth's oceans ...

This is the first article: Live Science This is a report on a computer model. The article states: "Even if we burn only a quarter of the Earth's total...

You're obviously well informed. Why don't we look at some of the research behind this: Specifically, let's look at the support for this Wikipedia stat...

You've been continuously abusive. I've made a normal request in the face of your accusation. You can't engage in good faith. I'm ignoring you from her...

Would you mind quoting the part you think I'm not familiar with?

Not always. This interglacial started with an abrupt change called the Younger Dryas. We would notice if that happened. A shutdown of the oceanic heat...

There's no harm in discussing it. We are discussing it in my thread. Josh already put up a quote from an MIT reviewed article from a scientist who dis...

It is the biggest influence. Easily overlooked, you're right. There's the grand solar minimum (solar minimum) that some say started two years ago and ...

Your attitude is unwarranted. By and large, everything I've said is true. If I happen to get facts muddled, I'm still well-meaning and don't deserve t...

My goal is to get to articles. I think what you are telling me is that you want more depth. Would you like reading homework? Or excellent and trustwor...

Sorry. Michael had already posted a blurb about how geologists call those larger scale cold events "ice ages", while in the public domain that term me...

Why doesn't it make sense?

Proceeding on with the history of climate change widening the horizon to 500 million years. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/...

I'm not sure what you're referring to. The sun's electromagnetic field is polarized like the Earth's. It doesn't extend too far into space. It doesn't...

Reglaciation is usually abrupt because once it starts there are positive feedback loops that reinforce it. The trigger points just happen from time to...

Yea, that's true.

I didn't say unions wouldn't exist without federal backing. I said the labor movement wouldn't exist without it. Maybe I'm overstating it. I think the...

Labor never had the power to do that. When unions were strongest, it was when the government had a policy of backing labor. When the government withdr...

it's when you're an engineer, but you're sent to handle critical jobs that aren't being manned because of the strike. The strikers are fine with it be...

Do you know what a management scab is?

Like the dinosaurs, they once roamed the earth.

I was there. I was a management scab during a CWA strike once. I smile now because that whole world is gone. You've never seen a really powerful union...

Since the 1980s, yes. Before that, no.

That's kind of hard to believe. Maybe they had some health issue that came to light while serving coffee? But aren't disability payments a result of t...

Interesting!

I'm just used to "labor movement" referring to the bloody conflict between the government and industrialists with labor backed by the government. That...

Ok. When I think of the labor movement, I think of the Haymarket time period. I guess you're taking a much broader view.

What's that?

There were strikes, yes, but industrialists overtly controlled federal, state, and local governments. This meant that industrialists were free to use ...

Power corrupts. Per legend, union stewards were usually the scum of the earth.

Yea, it's true.

One thing you do need to understand about the American labor movement is that it only existed in the first place due to federal backing, originally by...

I'm afraid this is a myth. Unions, protected by the US government, were incredibly powerful until the 1980s. Stagflation and Reagan: the one two punch...

True.

My plan is to take it slow. I've dragged out the old textbook. My plan is to do an overview of historical geography, and then start examining articles...

It doesn't.

It has to do with the shape of the Earth's orbit. Sometimes the orbit is more circular, sometimes elliptical. When it's elliptical, the Northern Hemis...

:up: I've been saying "large scale ice age" to try to specify. We don't really know when the next glacial period will start. What we know is that we'r...

It's odd to me that people universally assume I'm a climate change denier because I brought up the fact that we're in a large scale ice age. I actuall...

@"Agent Smith" Cool. So let's look at the science behind this. How could you object to that?

It's just a picture of glacial cycling. There's no motive other than it's fascinating. This is going to be a long thread. Stick with me. :grin:
