Agree-to-Disagree

Please define what a denier is. You seem to label people as deniers if they don't believe everything that you want them to believe, or if they don't w...

What have you done to promote the education of women and giving women more access to reproductive health services? What brand of gum do you chew? :gri...

A recent study suggests that as women become more educated and have access to reproductive health services, they choose to have less than 1.5 children...

The human population will fall dramatically in many countries for reasons not related to climate-change/global-warming. The following information is b...

It is very interesting doing a search in google news for "climate change exaggerated". https://news.google.com/search?q=climate%20change%20exaggerated...

He will probably do it in fossil fuel cars because EV's need frequent recharging and the queues to use the charge stations are too long. :grin:

What about "global boiling"?

Oh the irony. It burns. It burns. /uploads/resized/files/xn/t6hx3qtpt5r2ggqx.png

Look at what the graphs are showing, not the way that they were made. By the way, the were not made using Google Charts.

After being at this for over 100 pages and 3 years now, why hasn't Mikie realized that he is doing things the wrong way? Is Mikie wrong, or is everybo...

Sorry Mikie, but I changed a few words in your statement. All those idiots protesting and pushing for CO2 reduction for all those decades, screaming a...

I am surprised that you call me a denier. None of the graphs that I posted conflict with the fact that global warming is happening. A few of the graph...

I assume that your opinion about me is due to your own ignorance. I have researched global warming extensively. Here are a few of the many graphs that...

How dare they !!! How dare the older people who are more mature and have more life experience disobey the younger people who are more immature and hav...

Be careful that you don't fall off your high horse. It is better to have your feet on the ground, rather than your head in the clouds.

How much money do you need to have to qualify as "megarich". If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a p...

2012 Doomsday Date May Be Wrong Recent research shows that the Mayan calendar's doomsday date ("end of days") may be off by 50 to 100 years. You are c...

I have posted something like this before, elsewhere in the forum. I am now in my 60's and have lived through many existential threats to humanity. - A...

You seem to be implying that the value of the fat man's life is worth less than the value of each of the other 5 people's lives. The default assumptio...

Assume that pushing the fat man only has a 10% chance of saving 5 people? The expected number of people who die if you push the fat man is 5.5 = (0.9 ...

What about climate scientists who are too optimistic? Don't they also argue themselves out of a job? It is "safer" to just agree with the consensus. T...

What if pushing the fat man only had a 10% chance of saving 5 people?

I thought that Jesus said "Blessed are the cheesemakers".

There is another problem with mass transit. It must cope with very large volumes of people at only a few times of the day. Usually 2 times as people g...

It is easy to transport people from point A to point B efficiently for SOME combinations of A and B using mass transit. For example, from the city cen...

Most "established" industries and companies do this. If staying the same gives maximum profit then there is not much motivation to change. If this is ...

You have a very vivid imagination. :grin: Most of these things are very difficult to do, if not impossible. Working from home reduces the use of autom...

Sorry, but I agree with Queen. I’m in Love With My Car. The machine of a dream Such a clean machine With the pistons a pumpin' And the hubcaps all gle...

The meaning of philosophy scrub's lives is to answer the question "What is the meaning of life?". :chin:

:up: :100:

It is not necessary to know the meaning of life. Because our knowledge is finite it may not even be possible to know the "ultimate" meaning of life. T...

Are good looking people nicer than average looking people, or are good looking people less nice than average looking people?

I will try to explain my reasoning. A fixed point on the rim of a rigid not-slipping wheel does follow the path of a cycloid. But the point where the ...

Hi Frank. This is a very interesting question. The curve traced by a point on a circle as it rolls along a straight line without slipping is called a ...

1. **Scientific Consensus**: I know that there is a strong consensus among scientists that climate change is real and significantly driven by human ac...

Hi Frank. I am not sure whether you are being ironic or gullible. :grin:

I think that AI is a two-edged sword. It could have very good consequences, or very bad consequences. It will probably have both. Many of the products...

Frank, you seem to have very strong faith in super computers and their output. Are you familiar with GIGO (garbage in garbage out). I have been a comp...

So when did global warming start?

Is NASA a biased source? 3.4 millimeters per year is a lot less than 10 millimeters per year. Sorry you can't read, Mikie. Here is some information ab...

I have said something. I have made a statement that applies to most people. And yes, it also applies to people who are skeptical about climate-change/...

People are not skeptical when they are told things that they want to believe are true. People are not skeptical when they are told things that agree w...

Deciding whether to trust climate scientists or not does use critical intelligence.

I agree, grift is a major part of it. Like all good scams there is a small element of truth involved.

Merkwurdichliebe, please try to keep up. Climate changes over most of the last 800,000 years were always due to natural causes. Humans had little or n...

Follow the money. It also gives certain people the power to control other people.

The increased availability of standardized thermometers and the growth of climate data collection networks in the 19th century further contributed to ...
