12 more glaciers that haven’t heard the news about global warming

I understand Hayek just fine.

I also understand that Jethro is a total intellectual fraud, who cherry picks the writings of people like Hayek for what he likes, while completely ignoring the other 95% of his work which runs completely against his authoritarian socialistic ideology.

The truth DUD...e, you're the biggest phony on the board. A person that see himself as some self appointed, self righteous judge. There is nothing remotely libertarian or classic liberal about you or your beliefs, you are a far right wing hack...

Hayek's words continue to mocks you DUD...e, just as I do...

Riiiight.

You employ one of the most basic tactics taught to NLP-ers and hypnotists (of which I am one) --quoting an "authority figure" likely to be accepted by the subject-- get caught at it, and so subsequent refusal to fall for your cheap parlor trick is somehow evidence that I don't really believe the authority figure.

Then, since it's the only trick in your bag, you invoke it over and over and over and over again, foolishly believing that the 100th time will work any better than the first.

You're nothing, if not an uproariously hilarious bumpkin.

So, Hayek's words should be discounted and he is not a reliable source for political philosophy...why didn't you say so...

 

[Oddball]

I understand that your invocation of Hayek is disingenuous, therefore your sub-apprentice level "Jedi mind trick" is a dismal failure.

For hilarity, on should read ol' Dooodeee's definition of 'falsification' as it relates to scientific theories.

Why? Did he steal it from Mann or Jones?

Now Elvis, shouldn't you be out searching for some male genitals to ogle?

Just because you let Chris wreck your asshole and cum on your face doesn't mean I ogle male genitals, rockhead.

LOL. You are the only dumbass on the board that constantly talks about them.

The glaciers are melting! The glaciers are melting! The glaciers are…uhhhhh…never mind.

Turns out the IPCC’s chicken little story that all the Himalayan glaciers are melting is just another exaggeration. Or fraud. Take your choice. You know, like the stats coming out of East Anglia CRU. And its claim that Antarctica is melting. And that Greenland’s ice cap is melting. And that sea levels are rising. And that the polar bears are dying. Fact is, some glaciers are retreating, but many others around the world are growing.

1. Himalayan glaciers are growing, not shrinking
2. Alaska’s Hubbard Glacier. Growing. A lot.
3. Norwegian glaciers. Growing again.
4. Glaciers growing on Canada’s tallest mountain
5. North to Alaska and more growing glaciers
6. Glaciers are growing in California. California?
7. A glacier is growing on Washington’s Mt. St. Helens.
8. Glaciers are growing in France and Switzerland, too
9. New Zealand’s largest glaciers are growing

10. Russia’s glaciers are growing, too
11. Argentina’s Perito Moreno glacier is, you guessed it, growing
12. Iceland’s Breidamerkurjokull glacier. Yup, it’s growing, too.

Nuh uhhhhh!!!!!

Old Rocks told us the science was settled! Chris showed us pictures!

We're all gonnna dddiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

No. You continue to insult anyone who won't gag on Algore's cock the way you do with every post.

by the way,

do those warts in the back of your throat sting when Chris sprays back there?

Meteorological data compiled over the past century show that winter temperatures have been rising in parts of the Western Himalaya, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush mountain ranges (map of Pakistan).

But the region's winter snowfall, which feeds the glaciers, has been increasing. And average summer temperatures, which melt snow and glaciers, have been dropping.

"One of the surprising results we found was a downward trend in summer temperatures," said David Archer, study co-author and a hydrologist at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom.

"That seems to be at odds with what people would expect, given the news about glaciers melting in the Eastern Himalaya." (Read "Himalaya Ice-Melt Threat Monitored in Nepal" [March 2006].)

some people just hate science

Q: What is causing the glaciers to melt?
A. Manmade Global Warming

Q: What is causing the glaciers to grow?
A. Manmade Global Warming

And that's what we call "settled science"

I say the Moon might well be hollow because that's the only direction that makes any sense once you understand the science, this Global Warming stuff is a total fucking joke

No matter what it is, it's man's fault.

Proof right there it's bullshit.

No matter what, ol' Fritz ain't gonna admit that he has nothing at all to back his opinion.

I don't have to prove a negative. You have to prove you're right, and you can't.

I can punch holes in your theory with common sense all day long.

You still can't prove it's mankind's fault.

Go ahead, Old Fart, explain how my description is different in any kind of substance from this definition:

These considerations led me in the winter of 1919-20 to conclusions which I may now reformulate as follows.

1. It is easy to obtain confirmations, or verifications, for nearly every theory — if we look for confirmations.

2. Confirmations should count only if they are the result of risky predictions; that is to say, if, unenlightened by the theory in question, we should have expected an event which was incompatible with the theory — an event which would have refuted the theory.

3. Every "good" scientific theory is a prohibition: it forbids certain things to happen. The more a theory forbids, the better it is.

4. A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.

5. Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it, or to refute it. Testability is falsifiability; but there are degrees of testability: some theories are more testable, more exposed to refutation, than others; they take, as it were, greater risks.

6. Confirming evidence should not count except when it is the result of a genuine test of the theory; and this means that it can be presented as a serious but unsuccessful attempt to falsify the theory. (I now speak in such cases of "corroborating evidence.")

7. Some genuinely testable theories, when found to be false, are still upheld by their admirers — for example by introducing ad hoc some auxiliary assumption, or by reinterpreting the theory ad hoc in such a way that it escapes refutation. Such a procedure is always possible, but it rescues the theory from refutation only at the price of destroying, or at least lowering, its scientific status. (I later described such a rescuing operation as a "conventionalist twist" or a "conventionalist stratagem.")

One can sum up all this by saying that the criterion of the scientific status of a theory is its falsifiability, or refutability, or testability.

Sir Karl Popper "Science as Falsification," 1963

Or, IOW, come up with questions as to what else is a plausible cause (i.e. Socratic method) and attempt to disprove that scenario.

4. A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Dude again.

Now these just happen to be my points.

For you see, there was an excellant oppertunity to refute the GHG theory of atmospheric warming in the last three years.

A low TSI. A record low in sunspots.

So we should have had some very cold years. Except we did not. In fact, those years ranked among the ten warmest on record.

So what was differant. 40% more CO2. 150% more CH4. And some very nasty industrial GHGs.

You silly asses, it was your idiotic hypothesis that GHGs do not matter that was falsifide. For the GHGs we have put into the atmosphere kept the atmosphere warming in spite of the fact that the other forcings were negative.
