Thomas Acrimonias:

Here is a plot showing the polar amplification:

You will note (if you click on the link) that Iceland, at 64 N latitude
and smack dab in the middle of the Gulf Stream, doesn't show nearly the
polar amplification required for your point to make any sense.

So you haven't actually bothered to watch it. I suppose that's why you're an
expert on it.

I see, another expert witness that hasn't watched the evidence. Why should
ANYONE be surprised at you?

When it comes to intellectual dishonesty, LGF's Charles Johnson ranks
pretty high. Which is why you feel such kinship with him, I suspect. Hey,
did you ever check out that Harper's link on Iraq?

Because I am extraordinarily cute when I try to be. Luckily I can turn
it off so I can get some work done, or just chill, when I need/want to.
You undoubtedly have the same problem so I am preaching to the choir on
this.

But I digress. If you mean the TV4 thing, I did watch the part with Carl
Wunsch in it (and I sort of scanned through a lot of the rest checking
out the other "experts" to see if it was the usual cast of dopes (it
was)). Mainly I wanted to see why Wunsch was so ****** off. Here's
Wunsch's comments on the film:

http://tinyurl.com/35lz72

These guys also do a pretty good job of deconstructing the arguments in
the TV4 thing.

Incidentally, if anyone is really interested in getting the scientific
skinny on climate change, realclimate.org is a great resource. If you go
down the list of the people running the site, you will note those guys
are hard hard climate nerds (and I mean that in a good way). None of
this namby-pamby geography/botany/m.d. degree **** for those guys. The
guest commentators rock as well.

I am also going to make a March 12th resolution that I will not be
trolled by Tom into climate debates anymore. The sound of my ripostes
clanging off his head make me giggle, but I realize I am essentially
whacking off. Besides, the guys at realclimate already said everything
way better than I can anyway.

Yes, but what does temperatures in Iceland have to do with
temperatures in the Arctic region, Iceland is outside the Arctic.

Sorry, I was watching the prolog.

Perhaps in the KAU Iceland has a bias to the left causing it to fall
within the Artic circle.

Sometimes whacking off is essential.

Then some people ARE idiots on this thing:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070312/ap_on_sc/polar_trek;_ylt=AnZkL13ePjdbegT0j7HyGXXMWM0F

Quoted:

Atwood said there was some irony that a trip to call attention to
global warming was scuttled in part by extreme cold temperatures.

"They were experiencing temperatures that weren't expected with global
warming," Atwood said. "But one of the things we see with global
warming is unpredictability."


Talk about buying into the highest of the hype!
Miami beach at the North Pole. I don't think anyones even predicted
tropical weather at the poles TODAY!
Here's their sign! and it says "Morons R Us"
This is like that asshole who was "loving" the "cuddly" grizzlies and
got his girlfriend killed too.
Just because you "BELIEVE" doesn't make it so.

For some reason, I locked in on 'maniacal' instead. In deference to
the bot origin, I suggest perhaps, "mechaniacal".

I always thought you were just teasing.

The older version of the Tom-bot never linked to any cites. The new
version does, but they've been easily swatted down. The one to LGF was
pretty simple. But I have to hand it to you, Bob, for getting it to do one
that was a link to a Coulter column - there was no indication that was
the target from the link. Fiendish.

He is implementing Kunich Next Generation (Kunich NG) in Prolog, which is
so convoluted its fiendish.

I haven't developed any interest so far, but if I do, I'll check it
out.

_Global Warming Is Not a Threat But the Environmentalist Response to
It Is_, by George Reisman

"See Link; the rising pH of the oceans has already eaten a hole in the
Atlantic's seabed. If we don't take action within the next year to
stop CO2 emissions, the hole will be too big to plug and all the
worlds water will slowly leak out."

True, but if it isn't over in seven minutes you don't get to wear the
pretty yellow shirt.

Simon, used to write Prolog for a living. Not any more, thankfully...
