We haven't been around, for millions of years, communicating, writing, recording, measuring. That only started, maybe a few thousand years ago, even that's a guess. Science theory, often makes for great science fiction, both are the imagination of the writer. Both strive to figure out how an idea could work, and still be believable, could actually happen. Anything you can't observe and measure, repeatedly, is faith-based science, fiction. It's a guess, imagination, religion. You believe it's true, until you find out differently, or somebody else dreams up something you like better.

The estimate, for how much global warming we've had, since mankind started burning 'stuff', industrially, is 1-2 degrees Celsius. This is kept within a huge margin of error, for the measurements, and data sets available. Climate change, follows the rules, to keep it acceptable among scientists, even though it's exploitative, garbage science, it still falls within the excepted standards. Science is objective, you aren't allow to inject your subject opinion of other scientist's work, if you aren't prepared to back it up.

Tmiddles doesn't know what tmiddles means. He has managed to accumulate quite a few paradoxes while here, and refuses to answer basic questions put to him.

The population here on this forum generally know what tmiddles is. He likes to claim he 'knows' all kinds of crazy shit, that no one else knows, that he says everybody knows, and he is constantly denying science and mathematics to do it. He likes to create irrelevant contrivances to 'prove' his points.

Sorry, you lose. You REFUSED to define unambiguously what you mean by "ice age" therefore you mean whatever others infer from what you post.

If you'd care to correct this oversight on your part then please do so ... and include your rational basis for believing that all of it was under ice at the same time.

The concern you need to address is that today we have Greenland that is buried under ice with neighboring Iceland *not* buried under ice. Ergo, there is no reason to assume that at any point in earth's history that if there was some place buried in ice that a neighboring location must therefore have been buried under ice as well. Once again, Iceland is not buried under a kilometer of ice; it is not somehow required to be just because Greenland *is* buried under ice.

Define away.

Surtsey is a volcanic island located in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago off the southern coast of Iceland. At 63.303°N 20.605°W, Surtsey is the southernmost point of Iceland. It was formed in a volcanic eruption which began 130 metres below sea level, and reached the surface on 14 November 1963.I already knew about this little sweety

No. The user of the word is the one who is making the argument. That person thus needs to be able to define their own terminology, or else their terminology will be called out for the senseless babbling that it is.

When the term fossil fuel is used who does not know what is being referred too.

In English, the correct spelling is "to" (a preposition). The word "too" is an adverb and would be used to modify or qualify another word.

The term "fossil fuel", in English, would be referring to the use of some type of fossil as a fuel of some sort. While I can fairly safely assume what the other person is attempting to say when they use that terminology, their chosen terminology is still in error.

Major bonus points. For all those people who wonder "Where are all the young-earth Christians when you need one?" I say they should perhaps gravitate towards Climate-Debate just to hedge their bets.

Thank you.

I can play a young-earth Christian quite well because I once WAS a young-earth Christian... Nowadays, I don't hold any particular belief regarding the age of the Earth, nor do I try to prove/disprove any particular belief. I now stand along the sidelines in the "I don't know, nor do I really care" camp.

gfm7175, I fully appreciate your "parallel structure" style (truly I do) but could either you or Swan explain how the dinosaurs were wiped out prior to the earth having formed?

I did make notice of that particular issue while crafting my response, but I decided to keep true to the parallel structure rather than break away from it. Another issue, that ITN pointed out earlier, is with the wording "my Earth", as if Swan is somehow the owner and/or creator of the Earth.

I think that what Swan was trying to say was that dinosaurs were wiped out 66 million years ago (rather than 66 million years prior to Earth's existence)... I, however, will not speak for Swan and will let Swan respond to you on that issue.

I don't mind beating up on warmizombies who like to trash Christian religious beliefs and who claim that their own WACKY religious beliefs are actually thettled thienth ...

... but it is so much more satisfying to force warmizombies to face the isomorphism of their beliefs and the Christian beliefs that they trash ... and then to trash their beliefs with their own words.

I am forever responding to warmizombies that Christians preach the same thing, but this is unsatisfying somewhat because I am effectively pretending to speak for others. If only I had a young-earth Christian on hand whenever I discussed Global Warming with a warmizombie, I would be content to remaining within the confines of that context, e.g. ...

This is why Swan refuses to answer why the Great Flood could not have happened yet sea level rise of 15 cubits and terrible extreme weather can.

This is why warmizombies bash on Christians for looking to God as a source of justice ... while they nonetheless proclaim that precipitation is Climate's tool for dispensing justice in cases of humanity's carbon sins and while they desperately pray to Climate for generic justice the world over.






Warmizombies will reassure all who will listen that their Climate Thienth is determined by a consensus process eerily similar to Vatican II. Warmizombies have adopted the Big Bang theory as their Creation account, and when asked how they know that the earth is warming they give the same answer Christians give when asked why they believe in God, i.e. "Just look around at the world," "There is no debate" and "All the smart people recognize the obvious."

Hey, when you're right, you're right ... it's just that warmizombies can't see the religious nature of their own beliefs and having a Christian handy to throw their own trash-talk back at them is very satisfying.



So the answer is "yes."

No. The user of the word is the one who is making the argument. That person thus needs to be able to define their own terminology, or else their terminology will be called out for the senseless babbling that it is.

In English, the correct spelling is "to" (a preposition). The word "too" is an adverb and would be used to modify or qualify another word.

The term "fossil fuel", in English, would be referring to the use of some type of fossil as a fuel of some sort. While I can fairly safely assume what the other person is attempting to say when they use that terminology, their chosen terminology is still in error.

If you search for the definition of "human soul" you will get ten different definitions from any ten different sources. That's how it is with any sort of religious vernacular like "Rapture" or "fossil fuel."

We have established that morons are happy with this defintion so Duncan, write it explicitly ... announce to everyone on this board that when you use the term "fossil fuels" that you are including hydrocarbons, i.e. petroleum and natural gas, and that you believe that they were formed from the remains of living organisms.

Say it. Say it ... clearly and unequivocally ... so that you can be properly mocked for not knowing what hydrocarbons are and thus NOT KNOWING what the fuuúkk you are talking about when you use the term "fossil fuels" ...

I understand the feeling, and that's why I get even more satisfaction out of it (since I myself am a Christian). I am more than glad to jump into a discussion where a Christian presence would be beneficial, and it seems that ITN is as well.

None of them are rational. The only rational definition I have seen is the definition for Climate that is contained in IBD's Global Warming Mythology Reference Manual

The problem with that definition isn't the "truth" or "falsehood" of it, but rather that it is a circular definition. It is attempting to define 'climate change' AS 'climate change'. It is saying that 'climate change' is "a change in climate". Whoever came up with that definition should be a meteorologist, since they are claiming that weather over a long period of time "has a pattern" and can thus be predicted. Current meteorologists can't even get a same day forecast correct sometimes, let alone a 3-day, 7-day, or 10-day forecast...

duncan61 wrote:

Climate variability includes all the variations in the climate that last longer than individual weather events, whereas the term climate change only refers to those variations that persist for a longer period of time, typically decades or more.

This definition has the same issue that the other one has... it is still attempting to define 'climate change' AS 'climate change'. It is still a circular definition.

If I were to tell you that a 'flubberpus' is a 'flubberpus', would that mean anything to you?

Rather, if I instead told you that a 'flubberpus' is a spiritual being who assists in the oversight of persistent acne judgments placed upon people for their hygiene and/or dietary sins, then that definition would at least hold meaning and be a valid definition, would it not?

Do you see the difference? Do you now understand why people such as ITN, IBD, and myself keep persistently asking warmizombies to define their terminology that they keep tossing around, as if it actually in any way held any sort of meaning?

duncan61 wrote:

It is also frustrating to repetitively see meaningless buzzwords thrown around and nobody ever properly defining the terminology that is mindlessly being thrown around.

Why not just say 'natural fuel', or 'hydrocarbons', or something along those lines? Why use the word fossil?

So that's around the time that I decided to leverage young-earthers as my exemplar belief system to counter those who dogmatically insist on their own speculation of the past, who claim that their faith is "the truth, the light and the way" and who cite their religious signs and prophesies (proxy measures) to bash on any heathen who does not believe the thettled thienth.

Hahahaha I see where you went with that. I find it funny now that I am no longer a young-earther (and no longer a fundamentalist-style Christian), but I wouldn't've found it at all funny back in such a bygone era...

So, it seems as if you, back in the day, realized the religious beliefs behind young earther views (but not of your own views) and I likewise realized the religious beliefs behind radiometric dating and old-earther views (but not of my own views). Thankfully, we both have since learned the errors of our ways.

You do have the young-earther angle down pretty good, as that is the sort of stuff that I used to fervently consider as "what we know". Young-earthers also generally believe that the Genesis creation account, when it speaks of "days", is referring to literal 24 hour time periods, and they will typically refer to Bishop Ussher's dating calculations (that are based on the genealogy information contained within the Bible, as well as assumptions about historical calendars and what not) to come up with the roughly 6,000 year old figure for Earth, the same that I purposely quoted to Swan to mirror his own religious beliefs. I figured that he wouldn't like to see religious claims of a 6,000 year old earth when he's fervently making religious claims about a 20,000-year-ago "glacial maximum" and a 5+ billion year old earth and that sort of stuff, acting as if it is "what we know".

Indeed, and I went through a similar experience myself, and have come to similar conclusions. The tiny difference between us here is that I do not share your faith that radiometric dating is reliable. I do find it to be somewhat informative, however, and I no longer "war against it". My position on this issue is now akin to your position on the existence of god(s) issue, as I happen to be without faith (either way).

What caused me to drop my young-earth faith was my then-newfound understanding that the mention of "day" in the Genesis creation account does not refer to literal 24 hour days, and instead refers to longer periods of time. Old-earth-believing Christians will obviously make use of that particular understanding of the Genesis creation account, but like I said earlier, I do not consider myself to be an "old-earther" Christian either.

Bingo! And around the time of my "conversion" was when I started to counter the dogmatic folks from the young-earther club that I was once a part of. It's interesting to see all of the insults and/or particular labels that get hurled one's way when one dares to question a particular religious dogma... Plenty of people consider me to not be a Christian for one reason or another.

You slay them quite well! When Global Warming burst onto the scene, I knew in my heart that the warmizombie way was complete hogwash, but I didn't have the knowledge/understanding of relevant science to know precisely why that was (likely due to my fundamentalist young-earther Christian days when I was warring against "heathen" "science", not realizing that what I considered to be "heathen" "science" was actually just differing religious beliefs rather than being any sort of science.) I've since learned a bit about science and have acquired some knowledge of it and how it works, and now I can fend off warmizombies with that knowledge of science.

Hahahaha I see where you went with that. I find it funny now that I am no longer a young-earther (and no longer a fundamentalist-style Christian), but I wouldn't've found it at all funny back in such a bygone era...

So, it seems as if you, back in the day, realized the religious beliefs behind young earther views (but not of your own views) and I likewise realized the religious beliefs behind radiometric dating and old-earther views (but not of my own views). Thankfully, we both have since learned the errors of our ways.

You do have the young-earther angle down pretty good, as that is the sort of stuff that I used to fervently consider as "what we know". Young-earthers also generally believe that the Genesis creation account, when it speaks of "days", is referring to literal 24 hour time periods, and they will typically refer to Bishop Ussher's dating calculations (that are based on the genealogy information contained within the Bible, as well as assumptions about historical calendars and what not) to come up with the roughly 6,000 year old figure for Earth, the same that I purposely quoted to Swan to mirror his own religious beliefs. I figured that he wouldn't like to see religious claims of a 6,000 year old earth when he's fervently making religious claims about a 20,000-year-ago "glacial maximum" and a 5+ billion year old earth and that sort of stuff, acting as if it is "what we know".

After a few years of doing this I wondered why I cared about who has what speculation about the past or for what religious reasons. Those people who insist that the earth is 6,000 years old aren't trying to ruin my life, they just want to believe that the earth is 6,000 years old. The kicker is that despite whatever I might believe, they might be right and if I wish to carry the pretense that I am being honest I have to admit that. This includes admitting disclaimers that radiometric dating is also a matter of faith, despite my own faith that radiometric dating is reliable and, at a minimum, informative. The truth is that radiometric dating establishes the upper limit for how old something is, but theoretically it could be much younger, i.e. merely having the appearance of age.

Indeed, and I went through a similar experience myself, and have come to similar conclusions. The tiny difference between us here is that I do not share your faith that radiometric dating is reliable. I do find it to be somewhat informative, however, and I no longer "war against it". My position on this issue is now akin to your position on the existence of god(s) issue, as I happen to be without faith (either way).

What caused me to drop my young-earth faith was my then-newfound understanding that the mention of "day" in the Genesis creation account does not refer to literal 24 hour days, and instead refers to longer periods of time. Old-earth-believing Christians will obviously make use of that particular understanding of the Genesis creation account, but like I said earlier, I do not consider myself to be an "old-earther" Christian either.

Bingo! And around the time of my "conversion" was when I started to counter the dogmatic folks from the young-earther club that I was once a part of. It's interesting to see all of the insults and/or particular labels that get hurled one's way when one dares to question a particular religious dogma... Plenty of people consider me to not be a Christian for one reason or another.

You slay them quite well! When Global Warming burst onto the scene, I knew in my heart that the warmizombie way was complete hogwash, but I didn't have the knowledge/understanding of relevant science to know precisely why that was (likely due to my fundamentalist young-earther Christian days when I was warring against "heathen" "science", not realizing that what I considered to be "heathen" "science" was actually just differing religious beliefs rather than being any sort of science.) I've since learned a bit about science and have acquired some knowledge of it and how it works, and now I can fend off warmizombies with that knowledge of science.

I totally understand. I have, on three occasions, played along with warmizombies who, for some strange reason, insisted that I was a fundamentalist Christian. Imagine a warmizombie intentionally trying to offend me by referring my God as a stupid Bronze-Age myth and by insisting that the earth is old. I literally had to pause the first time before responding because I was at a loss. I just decided to play along and the Great Flood account is awesome because I can use it to get warmizombies to declare that sea level rise of 15 cubits (27 feet) cannot happen by the end of the century and that there can't be any existential threat to humans from extreme weather. It's why Swan won't answer my question, for example.

Bingo.
