How many missiles did Trump order launch on a near empty airfield? And, for what?

I never grow tired of listening to Pink Floyd.

Link for this graph?

It seems Dr. Michaels has been bets on his predictions. Further, there are other factors spelled out in the articles I posted.

Nature will prune out overpopulation via insects, natural disasters and intraspecies competition. Too much CO2 reduces nutrient uptake. https://phys.org/news/2015-06-carbon-dioxide-air-restrict-ability.html http://news.stanford.edu/news/2002/december11/jasperplots-124.html

Plants have a limited uptake of CO2. Just another excuse to dump more carbon in the biosphere.

You are claiming that you are in the rational group? Climate scientists are irrational? I have suggested several sources for further study and it seems you have chosen to disregard even a look at Korzybski or Strogatz. You are in the category of denying AGW!

The responses to your new thread are the same old conservative mindset rhetoric based on fear, ignorance of solid climate research and money. Doesn't surprise me one bit. The biosphere is a complex dynamic system which is sensitive to initial conditions and in this case, CO2. That is an undeniable fact and no amount of propaganda and cherry picked documents will change what is occurring at this very moment in the environment. Thanks for posting!

'The Dude' demonstrates how to properly lock a door.

I was citing Dr. Dirr as a reference who was influenced by L.H. Bailey (Cornell University) who wrote 'Hortus III', as to why the term shrub is used by botanists. As you know, taxonomists classify botanical species according to morphology and other criteria. https://www.amazon.com/Hortus-Third-Concise-Dictionary-Cultivated/dp/0025054708

I refer you to Dr. Michael Dirr's 'Manual of Woody Landscape Plants' in which he describes the genus Rhododendron habit, as a shrub.

How does one precisely define 'divine nature'?

Absolute or so called real truth is an illusion in the minds of true believers.

In the mind of some, nature will just take care of whatever waste the human species carelessly disposes of. I have read many stories that certain microbes will remediate radioactive waste. That is hardly the case in the Canyons surrounding Los Alamos (Los Alamos National Labs) NM where post Manhattan Project cleanup is proceeding at a snails pace. Plutonium, tritium and other radioactive toxic waste remain in extremely large quantities. Until proven other wise, plutonium and other radioactive materials have ranges of short half life to a very long half life. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/los-alamos-will-never-be-clean/article_a3cc7ce1-8af0-5113-8f38-5d4aa673fd7a.html http://www.lasg.org/

Since the topic of religion has surfaced, here is the problem with fundamentalist religion, in general. Right wing fundamentalist Christianity is a real problem here in the US. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10141765777

Given your penchant to use political discourse as a means to inflate your ego at others expense, I will not be participating. Intellectual acrobatics are only the tip of the iceberg of a far greater human experience.

You just proved my point.

The problem with discussing these issues with Brian is that his sole purpose is not one of reasonable discourse, but one of creating doubt in his opponent's mind and therefore discrediting one's argument in this public venue. I was introduced to this little book when I was studying for my degree and it has remained useful when anyone attempts to wow me with statistical analysis. https://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/0393310728

Your irrational statement that all Muslims must be deported is way out of line with reason.

The singling out is usually from fundamentalist Christians and I believe Aetherous is one according to a post he made several years ago. And, as we all know Christians have never done anything wrong in the name of a higher power/cause. There are some Christians that actually believe that last statement I made.

These guys are really good! I thought Steven Stills was long retired, but here he is again. I saw Steven Stills and Manassas at the Philadelphia Spectrum during the summer of 1972. Will never forget that long hot summer!

I guess all these persons listed here should be deported even though their families have been here for generations and most of these persons converted to Islam? Shaguille O'Neill, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar should be thrown out of the USA? These are just two examples of thousands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_Muslims

This scene is not just a piece of science fiction fantasy, but is meant as a transmission.

Positing from an intellectual point of view is inherently limited. However, direct experience with phenomena and what is not phenomena is an entirely different matter, which transcends all belief systems. Has anyone reading this felt space? If so, what are the implications of such a feeling? Feeling is not an emotion.
