That leaves you guys against the world dosn't it?

Pretty much sums up every post he has made. Kinda sad.

My friend's dad was a Vietnam vet. He would have wild mood swings, severe paranoia, and go off about ridiculous conspiracy theories that involved precise details of his experiences with complete disregard for the rest of reality. He blew his brains out when we were 10. My friend heard the noise and was the first to see the mess.

No doubt our veterans should get better mental health treatment, especially when the symptoms are so blindingly obvious.

How dumb do you have to be to write this?
Serious question ..

IQ average ?
90?
80?
70?

probably the same as the Chef's height, about 52

reading, understanding and thinking are like kryptonite to the Chef.

AR5.

Chef,you are right ,I could never understand .
But,admonish,it might be your reason to distrust the government,but for the 95% of people that did not serve our country,we have no grievance as such.
That said,I am sorry for your loss and support veterans outreach.

Talk about being MEAN

Well, I'd had a long day repairing our wounded warriors returning from the ME with all sorts of horrific impairments, so I was kinda drained. That and my kid was clamoring for attention.

But I really strive not to be mean per se; I don't think that usually adds to the discussion. (not to say I haven't provided my share of that)

But are you sure you were in the military? I would guess you would have some understanding that "sir" isn't always respectful.

I think the whole NAZI thing is just so played out and shows a real lack of historical knowledge. We've got such other great dictators to choose from: Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, or probably most appropriate for the point Dick was making- Romania's Ceaușescu.

Good article in the NY Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/28/science/global-climate-change-report.html?hp&_r=0

“It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.”

“Continuing rapid emissions now is kicking the climate can down the road, leaving climate change for our children and grandchildren,” said Christopher B. Field, an American scientist heading a subgroup of the intergovernmental panel that will issue a report next year on climate impacts. “But it is kicking a can that gets to be bigger, heavier and harder to move with each kick.”

Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now

LOL, our special group of deniers are claiming the oceans are not warming.

Hey Chief,

Do you understand the concept of 'surface air temps'?

Did you know, that 'surface air temperatures' are not ocean temps?

The IPCC fifth assessment report (AR5) Summary for Policymakers can be downloaded now from a link on the IPCC web page. For thinking folks it's well worth downloading and learning about for yourself. In the wake of the "direct quotes" we've been seeing from SPM page 65, page 98 etc., it's interesting to note that the document is just 36 pages long.

The Chief is still having issues with surface air temps vs ocean heat content.

Hang in their Chief, you will eventually understand the difference. Or, ur, maybe not.

From the AR5 summary:

Ocean warming dominates the increase in energy stored in the climate system, accounting for
more than 90% of the energy accumulated between 1971 and 2010 (high confidence). It is virtually
certain that the upper ocean (0−700 m) warmed from 1971 to 2010 (see Figure SPM.3), and it
likely warmed between the 1870s and 1971. {3.2, Box 3.1}

Of course the deniers don't want to mention the oceans, Chief.

That's why I bring it up.

Well Duh!

Whenever deniers claim global warming has stopped, we show them the ocean data.

It tends to send them in a tail chasing mode.

Priceless.

The Chief continues to post nonsexist "quotes from AR5", even after he's been shown point blank that they do not exist.


Go Get 'Em, The Chief. you continue to show us, with each post you make, just what a dip you are.

Ron forgot to tell us that he plagiarized his whole post from a blogger. Does he often do that?

From the AR5 summary:


Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any
preceding decade since 1850 (see Figure SPM.1). In the Northern Hemisphere, 1983–2012 was
likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1400 years (medium confidence). {2.4, 5.3}

Ocean warming dominates the increase in energy stored in the climate system, accounting for
more than 90% of the energy accumulated between 1971 and 2010 (high confidence). It is virtually
certain that the upper ocean (0−700 m) warmed from 1971 to 2010 (see Figure SPM.3), and it
likely warmed between the 1870s and 1971. {3.2, Box 3.1}
