    Now there is a question: is a troll a person or an 'it' ? I think you are right :)

    That is where they usually end up since they have zero interest in learning about the Prius or helping others with their Prius related problems. I find it funny that they come here to supposedly have a debate when they should be on Anthony's site or RealClimate.

    I have thought about googling the most stupid denialist dribble to see where it originates from, but the urge passes after a second or two. So many more interesting things to do.

    OK, Identify one technical (not policy) issue that you think is worth some discussion. Seriously, there are some really knowledge folks here that don't fit the profiles expected.

    What for? So far we've heard 'Scientists Are In It For The Money' and 'They Changed The Name - It Must Be Wrong'. Neither 'argument' is worth the pixels or the neurons, let alone 'big guns'.

    Awhh, come on, things were just getting interesting. :(

    I was greeted here with a far greater intensity a few years ago. It has gotten pretty tame around here lately.

    Posting in any of these heavily science based threads is way over my
    abilities; i guess I'd come in around the "pop-gun" level. :D

    Nevertheless, I read past the typical polarization because most often
    there is something, if not to learn, at least to think about.

    With that shaky claim to being able to evaluate a posters level of
    gunnyness, it looks to me like the poster in question comes in
    somewhere about the level of a Sorcerer's Apprentice...

    [​IMG]

    including the underlying Mickey Mouse nature of the arguments made.

    From what I've read, there's never been a need for the big guns even
    to take notice, never mind chamber a round, or take aim.

    Even if Plan 9 has evolved from the union of Ufourya and Treb, don't feed the troll! It only makes them think what they say has some substance.

    CO2 levels are indeed rising ,but temperatures are stable for the past 13 years.Temperatures soon to be falling if you listen to Piers Corbyn or the many other astrophysicists including NASA who believe the Earth will cool for the next 30 years.Temps are stable and will fall even while CO2 levels are rising.
    Temperatures have never been caused by CO2 and the two have never correlated.
    The past 10,000 years the Earth was warmer but CO2 was much lower.
    500 million years ago in the Earths past there has been 4000 ppm CO2 while the Earth was in ice age.
    Yes the Sun had less output at that time but explain this?
    How did the Earth come out of the Ordovician ice age,during the following Silurian period the Earth warmed WHILE CO2 LEVELS WERE DROPPING.
    Does not add up.
    BTW Sea Levels are no longer rising.

    Mojo, we have already established you have no science background to speak of. Stick a sock in it before you hurt yourself

    those little pesky details; they always get in your way.

    Ordovician–Silurian extinction was caused by dropping CO2 levels which caused ice age. BTW Ordovician overall is marked by gradual dropping from 45C to 16C and icing.. all due to lower sun output.

    It's sad to see the environmental forum go the way of the infamous House of Politics. Sorry, Fred, for what we've done to the place.
