Global warming 'confirmed' by independent study
-
Just because the direct cost would be ending up on someone else doesn't mean it won't cost anything. And adding a lot of peak capacity will have to be payed by someone, in the form of a substantially higher price per kWh for the customers.
Light moves faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak. List of common misconceptions

Science meticulously verifies, people on the internet bluster. So it goes. I wonder why this Berkeley group didn't recruit some of the people on this board with their obviously scary talent for climate science.

As in the BEST paper Decadal variations in the global atmospheric land temperatures[^] - Muller R A, et al: If the long-term AMO [Atlantic Mutidecadal Oscillation index] changes have been driven by greenhouse gases then the AMO region may serve as a positive feedback that amplifies the effect of greenhouse gas forcing over land. On the other hand, some of the long-term change in the AMO could be driven by natural variability, e.g. fluctuations in thermohaline flow. In that case the human component of global warming may be somewhat overestimated. Let verification commence. BTW: The paper - along with:
- Influence of urban heating on the global temperature land average using rural sites identified from MODIS classifications[^]
- Berkeley Earth temperature averaging process[^]
- Earth atmospheric land surface temperature and station quality[^]
- has not yet been peer reviewed and published.

scary talented experts
Strawman, WristiSlaps. I shall continue to take an interest in the subject of climate science, and, although not a talented expert, I shall continue to express my opinion that what is needed is more research over the next 20 years, to determine whether adaptation or mitigation are the preferred options. (Should the evidence change, my opinion will, of course, change.) (Scary? Well, next door's cats are scared of me, but that's about it.)

I really don't understand why people go to university to study things anymore, Google is clearly enough.

Of course Google is enough! Doctors always think it's just the common cold, but Google knows better . . . ;P

This guy who holds an advanced business degree says he's studied evolution extensively and the scientific data doesn't support it so i have to go argue with him for awhile because that's productive too

It's a series of illustrative analogies and parables. In that sense I'm kind of like the Jesus. Did you ever hear the one about the marketing expert who did a bunch of research and is now convinced that aspartame causes cancer? They spoke to everyone they could about it, especially on the internet, but dismissed the opinions of people with any semblance of a medical or biochemical background as being "part of the conspiracy" or "just in it for the money."

Well, "Them as counts, counts more than them as don't count", as me old pal Ridley used to say.
