    I have no idea what you're implying. There's always reproduction going on in my brain. :glee:

    I hope it happens, Space may not be the only unexplored frontier available to us, but it's way bigger than anything else XD

    They're always overlooking the accomplishments of the Vikings. But I think in this case they're only starting the clock at when they had a chain of unbroken activity going on at Mars.

    Something a little more substantial than the usual articles and brief videos. This is an hour long documentary looking at the Pathfinder mission posted by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Take some time and enjoy some serious SCIENCE! and the ass-busting work done by the Pathfinder team.

    GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX

    Dr. Tim Ball, Canada’s most famous skeptic climatologist, came out, all guns blazing with stunning news in what is billed as the “science trial of the century.” The outcome of this case will have grave knock-on implications on the validity of all government secret science relied upon in the hotly-contested ‘man-made global warming’ debate. Mann agreed to hand over his secret ‘hockey stick’ graph data used for the validation of hundreds of science papers ‘proving’ humans are dangerously warming the planet. So crucial is Mann’s ‘science’ to the climate debate that Ball called him out for fakery six years ago. Mann contemptuously broke that agreement and did not release his hidden, and thus disputed, ‘hockey stick’ graph data. Mann’s breach of that formal undertaking, even in the deluded mind of a green activist, is a serious contempt warranting sanction. Under British Columbia case law (see below) Mann’s breach is both an unlawful act as well as an admission of guilt.

    Interesting. Will be watching to see what comes of this.

    Remember, all science should be questioned, even the 'established' fields, when new info comes to light, or models don't predict what you expected.

    Yeah, that's the heart of SCIENCE!. Keep questioning and testing for empirical answers. I'm always willing to see a theory rigorously tested, but I personally have a hard time believing that dumping trillions of metric tons of a gas into an atmosphere doesn't effect its chemistry. I just don't know what those effects would necessarily be or look like, because I'm not a chemistry nor atmospheric expert.

    In this individual case, if this guy can't or won't provide the information behind his theory, it's not going to fly. SCIENCE! doesn't take anyone's word on shit. You put up or you shut up.

    because science doesn't -need- anyone's word, it either is the truth, or it is not, and if it is the truth then it should be ratify-able through repeated experiments both using the method developed, and other methods.

    I have no doubt that we have an impact on the climate, as does every creature that lives breathes and or shits on earth, I don't argue that climate change isn't a thing, because history has many rather violent cases in evidence both ways, I simply argue that we don't know nearly enough to recognize what our actions are directly responsible for, and certainly not enough to be able to claim that the current trend is a direct result of any one aspect of our actions. Personally I suspect it far more likely that our actions have gone a long way towards delaying the next major climate change than it has encouraging it, but that's more a hunch than a deeply researched hypothesis.

    I'm personally more concerned with the rising level of arsenic in rice due to pollutants than the concerns that we may be melting polar ice caps etc... It really won't matter much if the sea level raises 100 ft if we're all dead because we poisoned our own food. They may be linked in cause, but it's way easier to get people to act on what is a more immediate concern than it is to give them some vague threat of the future that may or may not be true.

    at that scale, I can't imagine, if they could do it on a much larger scale for a reasonable expense of energy? Anti-Gravity.
