There is no branch of science called "climate" science. "Climate science" is a religion. If you want to claim that your religion has any "climate" science then you need to provide the "climate" science that you insist you have. Thus far you have not provided any. Don't worry, though, Surface Detail hasn't been able to find any for over a year, nor has any of his uber-educated British buddies apparently. There isn't any "climate" science. It's a WACKY religion. . I don't think i can [define it].

They don't call it the education biz for nothing, you know. I know of some schools that offer degrees in underwater basket weaving too. It's kind of a rare degree, because there is little demand for it. There is no such thing as climate 'science'. People who study the weather already exist. They're called meteorologists. They know that what they are doing is the equivalent of watching waves on the sea. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

There's a lot of truth to that! Sea level is measured primarily by tidal stations.These are innocuous concrete wells scattered along the coast (most people don't even know they're there. They look like some kind foundation for an old piling). Inside is a water level indicator. The well has holes in it to allow seawater in or out. The purpose of the well is to remove wave action. The sea level is measured over time to get some kind of average over the year. That measurement requires a reference. A zero. That reference is the land the thing is sitting on. The trouble is, that solid land is actually a floating raft, rising, lowering, tilting, moving around. Most altitude is referenced to 'mean sea level' or MSL. We can't do that trick with the tidal stations because the sea level is what we are trying to measure. It's a circular argument in data form, otherwise known as circular data. jwoodward48 wrote: jwoodward48 wrote: I agree that there are problems with the education system, and that degrees are worth less than they once were.

I'm guessing not Harvard and MIT, based on the last sentence. (Maybe that'll help me decide which to [try to] go to.) It rather depends on what you want to go into as a career. Different schools have different strengths for different careers. MIT can be a good school for engineering or computer science. Outside of that it rather sucks. Harvard has a decent law school, but they are poor at governmental structure and theory. A good school for that is Hillsdale College in Michigan. Perhaps computer science is your bag. If so, you might consider MIT, Berkeley, or even Digipen (a trade school in computer science, electronics, and gaming). Computer science is very specialized these days into various disciplines. I recommend those schools free of proprietary software, such as Windows (or even Macs). I would recommend those schools well versed in Unix/Linux. Perhaps chemistry would interest you. Austin, TX has a good school in both inorganic and organic chemistry. For medicine and biology our own University of Washington does very well. They also are a great school for studying aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering. There is no one school that does it all. Universities might seem like department stores where you can buy anything, but they often have a couple of great programs and mostly lousy ones. The first thing you need to do is decide what you want to do with your life.
