    The trillion dollar stimulus package is the glaringly obvious one.

    Noam Chomsky is America’s greatest intellectual ???????? Never mind Richard Feynman, the guy who thinks socialism works and apologizes for Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot's murdering tens …

    Yeah, for a measly hundred billion we can get some more astronomers. Great ! It's the geniuses that do most of the science and I think they tend to gravitate there anyway. I'm remi…

    Peer review is neither necessary nor sufficient for science.

    Seems to me an a guy who couldn't get hired as a physicist had a rather large effect on physics in 1905. The hiring process is a form of 'peer review'.

    IIRC Reagan proposed a balanced budget, had the Grace commision recommending large cuts in government spending/programs through privatization. This was completely rejected by Congr…

    Sorry about that,then. I assumed it disappeared becuase you deleted it. I thought it would stay around in threads even if it was downvoted.

    I wasn't talking to you. You're the guy who pulled his thread when valid arguments were brought up that didn't support your point. I'm sure that's why you feel right at home at Rea…

    If you want skepticism go to Climate Audit or Watts Up With That, then use your brain to decide if their arguments have merit.

    And if the teeter totter shows he is as light as a duck, burn the denialist !

    I would say it's the proponents that are doing it wrong. The supposedly independent and objective inquiry into the climategate scandal has already had one member forced to resign (…

    I was just getting interested, and that was never five minutes.

    Comment #1125911

    That article is about one of the IPCC authors validating a 'denialists' claim. It is the climategate scientists that broke the law, but the statute of limitations had expired (it i…

    Because stuff like this http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article702... is now pouring out, and realclimate.org is implicated in the climategate scandal, so you mig…

    Here is the most recent example of someone looking into the GISS data. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/02/11/giss-adjustments-in-au... The models have obvious warming biased 'adjus…

    It's AGW that is the extraordinary claim that needs extraordinary proofs. Ridiculously bad computer models with 'adjusted' data from cherry picked stations are not proof of anythin…

    Comment #1125789

    It's significant because we've spent billions (and almost spent trillions) on a problem that doesn't exist - AGW. And this is from one of the leaders of the movement that created a…

    Sensitivity to something is invariably decreased by exposure. In my life, I've gone from a picture of bare breasts being a big deal and a huge turnon, to seeing graphic movies of a…

    Yeah, right. As every day their are more revelations of corruption and incompetence in 'Climate Science'. There is really no such thing. Anyone who says they can build a computer m…

    I still say robots are far better than humans for space exploration. There was even a proposal for repairing the Hubble with them. It would have been better if they had designed it…

    This could have been done for way less than 175 billion (the estimated cost of the shuttle program).

    The Shuttle program has alwasy been a boondoggle. There has been not one significant piece of science that has come out of it. Robots are far better at space exploration than human…
