Sophisticated Skeptic

You guys complain about the same stuff over and over again.. Why not just sit back and appreciate the opinions of others? That's what forums are for...to discuss / have different opinions on things. It's people like him that think outside the box, with factual material (not always, but most of the time) that make things worthwhile reading here. Who cares if he goes into left field at times...even if it does seem far-fetched , he at-least brings up points that could be looked into. Typical Republican-like behaviour here...the ones against him. Where people extremely over-exaggerate the smallest of matters. I feel like i'm watching Megyn Kelly on FoxNews... where she'll have some news piece to start her show off with. With that look in her eye like it's the end of the world....all while talking about Hillary Clinton's funding issues. (or some other comical news piece...that would of been laughed at if it were mentioned as 'Breaking News' 10 years ago)

i'm trying to cool him down...not sure if it's workin though. EDIT : just noticed I have 999 posts. should I keep it like this....and never post again ?

I hear ya, but it's also why i take a break from here occasionally. too much bickering , and not enough listening. It's like everybody's an expert on everything these days. They 'google' stuff and all of a sudden think their a rocket scientist.

danggggg....bruh

noice

Interested where you found those excerpts... ? The 68, 119 stuff. All legitimate stuff, even though it's in our human nature to block out the negative, and mostly concentrate on the 'happy' positive. Being blind to the obvious (like so many people are) is almost just as bad though.

why is he a troll, just for posting straight up facts ? I thought his article was pretty insightful . And it's nice to see people micro-blogging about weather in their area. "ohh boy, he's for Climate Change....lets troll him to oblivion" basically the mindset of the deny'ers here. btw, it hit 70 here today.

a little strange how so many of these anomalies are so close to land. I'd be interested to see if these warm currents (west)can provide a rare / favorable pattern for rain temporarily out there...or at-least until summer kicks in,

good point. why they waited so long ? baffling.

^ rumor has it, they only have a year of water left. and no backup plan? ohhh boy. ... as the dry season approaches.

Just wanted to say, it's nice reading everybody's input here, even if we disagree. usually these sections aren't too civil, but this one strangely respects both sides. (for the most part) these next few years should be pivotal in determining 'whats going really on'...climate change wise.

Fiber = very important as well...to soak up all the extra oils in our bodies. (good and bad oils) Some people find it a nuissance, as it typically results in more bowel movements...but your doing A LOT good for your body in general. Including lowering cholesterol amounts. Nowadays fiber is more flexible and pleasant to consume compared to the old days, where there weren't as many options. Like psyllium husk...which many were allergic to. Now they come in candy form...like those gummi things. other options : Nutrigrain bars Chewable Fiber Choice supplements (Inulin) or if caplets are your thing : Methylcellulose or Calcium Polycarbophil Or just getting it directly from healthy meals. And look at that, I didn't even bring up the topic of Glutens. (taking the dr. phil hat off for the day)

Sugar is the main culprit for heart attacks. And a bigger trigger than high cholesterol itself. Sugar = inflammation. Sugar = cancer. I've been living fine for the last 15+ years with very high chloresterol....and have never taken lipids for it Lipid drugs weaken your body (muscles) over time...and can even make you more prone to heart attacks. My weight has also been in the normal range all these years. If you have high cholesterol and eat a fatty hamburger, your body stops producing cholesterol for an extended period of time..the body adjusts to compensate , depending on what your current cholesterol levels are. Moderate exercise = the best medicine.

wow...u interpreted that as that? I saw open minded insight into both sides....with a slight leaning towards denying.

GlobalWarmer , being a proud American doesn't take anything away from the facts of how much damage were doing to our climate....atleast in my opinion. Were right up there with China....as one of the biggest offenders . yeah, he kind of throws every option out there. I can never tell which way he's leaning, but was surprised he invested so much towards global cooling being imminent. (with so many current indicators....*yours included* pointing opposite) His main points were valid though...how nobody really knows what's going on, and which direction were heading...corruption and lobbying from all directions , etc.

Ben did a nice 20 minute climate change update this morning. EDIT: to my surprise, his piece is mostly about how were due for an extended cooling period. thought he'd be more realistic about what's currently going on. Regardless, still an interesting clip.

Regardless, Republicans will still find some manufactured facts around somewhere...to say everything's normal...as long as money's still being pumped to em...from 'somewhere'. Just like the $billions$ pumped to em to be against Obamacare. Same agenda...different topic.

^ yet, why so few amounts of people worry about rapid warming possibilities....baffles me. not everything goes holly / jolly out to space....like skeptics like to dream / imagine. and all the junk / different chemicals were pumpin into the atmosphere. there's absolutely noway to know for certain what can happen next....and what earth's atmospheric threshold is.

this guy's a little strange...but does good , daily updates on what's going on with the sun / universe in general

somewhat OT....but still significant. The sun wakes up finally...releases a X flare. An X2.1 class solar X-ray flare occurred on 2015-Mar-11 with a peak time of 16:22UT. The flare occurred in NOAA AR 2297. (sunspot #) X2-FLARE AND RADIO BLACKOUT: Sunspot AR2297 has just unleashed a strong Earth-directed solar flare (March 11 @ 16:22 UT). Extreme UV radiation from the blast, which measured X2 on the Richter Scale of Flares, is causing HF radio fade-outs and other propagation effects on the dayside of Earth, primarily over the Americas: map. Meanwhile, natural radio emissions from the sun suggest that a CME might be emerging from the blast site at speeds exceeding 1,400 km/s (3.1 million mph). breaking story.. kind of interesting as well....many think solar activity and earthquakes have a link...and this just happened to occur 1 minute after the flare : 5.4 Mag. Earthquake hit Costa Rica Additional X-flares possible as 2297 is just starting to ramp up and become more earth-facing. First images :

2006 is the best I could find, in terms of hoping for a miraculous comeback. (for the year)

and we wonder why cloud tops have been lowering over the years. sky falling yet..? kind of explains why flash floods have been more severe than in the past. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=3285

any chance we could get a Climate Change non-banter thread ? I'm looking forward to reading the latest on what's actually going on, yet all i'm seeing is arguing back and forth.
