    Been a little quiet in here the last couple of days. Seems a little odd.

      I'm so overwhelmed by the amount of material over flowing from your beautiful country, specifically the White House, that I don't know where to start, so I'll just leave it at that. I would just say: Instead of draining the swamp Trump swamped the drain.

        With the overwhelming amount of total BS constantly streaming out the of "reputable" media outlets, it is hard to figure out just what the heck is really going on. It's time to go back to reporting the facts and without personal bias or opinions. I think that would be better.

            If it is reporting, it is biased. And if it is a Hollywood-movie, the bad guys are Russian, with a "Poeshkin" as the leader, or they're arabs. In what era did we have news that was only based on facts?

                        ERBE shows increasing outgoing LWR in line with increasing surface temperatures. What does that say to you?

                          A single experiment is not enough to "prove" that CAGW is not real. Knowing you, it is a biased and cherry-picked piece of text, funded by some large corporation :)

                            It's just a lot of pictures with no context, so it says nothing to me.

                              I cannot honestly say if we ever had an era of unbiased reporting but I'm not 200 years old and read it all to know either.

                                I would love to discuss that subject but first we have to agree on a definition of "Global Warming" before a productive discussion of the subject can commence.

                                  I can. Everything written down was written by biased men, because we are. We have had "education" to offset that.

                                    What boggles me is that some reporters and media pundits rave about certain facts and then completely ignore or even dispute other facts. You cannot cherry pick which facts you want to believe. If scientifically proven facts go against your beliefs or personal narrative, than perhaps your beliefs are wrong and you need to admit that.

                                          Well, there are things that we know for certain. 1. The mean yearly temperature of the atmosphere has been increasing over the last two decades. 2. The mean yearly temperature of ocean surface water has been increasing over the last two decades. Those are the facts. Everything else is speculation.
