^^ Funny, but looked way too fake. [Spoiler below]
I don't think a small rock could knock someone off their feet like that, it would snap their head back, and then they would just collapse or something IMO.
not at all. I just don't need photoshopped stimulation to tickle my funny-bone. Real-life shit is just as funny, and in many cases, moreso!
Edit: wait, where'd that rilla post go? Something about me being a sad husk or something?
i deleted my post because i realized its not a conversation worth having. sorry bout that.

I am fucking scarred for life guys! I was persuaded to read the short story "Guts" by Chuck Palahniuk earlier this evening. Has anybody read this? Maybe I'm a pussy but I threw up, my whole body aches and it's 5 a.m. and I cannot sleep after that shit. Seriously some fucked up shit. What is wrong with people publishing that kind of stuff?!?!
i thought it was kinda funny.Quote:

From the looks of it, MIT's current projection is very conservative given that they didn't account for several feedback loops that would cause an unknown but theoretically devastating runaway effect of warming. They mentioned the permafrost beginning to melt which hold about 100 years worth of current emissions, but probably other ones like the effects of reduced arctic ice, reduced ocean absorption of carbon, etcQuote:

My wife and I are replacing our fence. We got our first bid on Saturday.
This morning I awoke at 7am to a bunch of banging in what seemed to be my back yard. I have the summer off (it's awesome being a teacher), so this pissed me off like you wouldn't believe. I got up to see what the hell was going on out there, and found that a fence company was replacing our neighbor's fence (we share a 120-ft long/6-ft high fence with her).
Needless to say, I was no longer pissed. I no longer have to pay for that portion of a new fence. So by waking up this morning (and not starting the fence project two weeks ago like I had hoped), I made/saved at the very least $1500. Woot.
wat do u teach ug
I teach American History. It's supposed to be 1865-present, but because of standards and testing bullshit it was 1900-present this year.

In the poll for climate change, I voted for warming. I don't like it cold.
It's a projection of global warming by 2100 based on all understood empirical data, and the projections are that warming has a 90% chance of being between 3-7 degrees C.Quote:

Even if somebody chooses to ignore the data, the theory is solid. Certain gases like methane and carbon absorb heat and they are mega factors in regulating global temperature, these gases are being released by the assloads due to human industrial and agricultural activity (assload is the correct term given that the parts per million of carbon in the atmosphere has increased by about 80% in the last century), the extra greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause a rise in global temperature, and the rise in global temperature causes alterations in ecosystems.
This is honestly one of the most fascinating topics I've found. The science is very good, and the predictions made by the data are jaw dropping. This is one of the only true doomsday scenarios we have ever known, yet doomsayers are denying it like crazy. But that has to do with the fact of the phenomenon that the more credible a source is, the less likely people are to acknowledge it.
They predicted "Global Cooling" in the 1970's. Now, thirty years later, they're saying that global warming is going to be catastrophic. They've all but said, "Yeah, we were stupid. We didn't know what we were talking about in the 1970's. But now we know for sure what we're talking about, and our future looks terrible unless we do something about it right now."
What are they going to say 20-30 years from now?
2 years ago we thought tight was right. Now as we've hatcheted deeper into the game, durr shows you theres a deeper understanding to be had.Quote:

And that's not to say that you're wrong. That's just saying that if you're right, it's because you got lucky.
Also, to put in perspective, 5 degree C rise in global temperature is a TON. The warming would be dramatically higher than the global average, the Arctic ice caps would have completely vanished several decades earlier, most of the Antarctic shelves would also have vanished (possibly all, I'm not sure how much warming it takes to melt the cores, but it's more than it is for the Arctics), a decent chunk of the current landmass will be under water (something like half of Florida will be submerged), the cascading feedback loops of unstoppable warming would have been triggered decades before but by now the permafrost which holds a shitload of frozen greenhouse gases would melt, etc.Quote:

Over the last century, global temperature has risen by approximately 1 degree C. This is a lot. Geologic time scale is much slower than human experience. On the scale of Earth, 1 degree C in a century is a drastic warming phase.
So what's your take on global warming?Quote:

The news sites that get more hits, more magazines/papers being sold, etc? Companies that like the color green? The government, if they decide to tax people/things that pollute the earth? List could go on and on but you get the point...
Before I get into this post specifically, I want to point out that the theory behind climate change does not necessarily claim that it's in one direction or the other and that's why it's important, it claims that its ecosystem change itself that is important and is cause for alarm, no matter which direction it is in. We are, after all, a product of evolutionary adaptation to our ecosystems, and if those ecosystems change quickly enough we will not follow.Quote:

Also, this is not the first time the popular media confuses data from peer-reviewed journals, and thus misleads the public.
One great example of this is known as Nebraska Man. Every creationist and evolution denier on the planet will site Nebraska Man as being a great example of biologists getting it wrong. Well, without boring you with the details, the facts of the case of Nebraska Man are that zero scientists made any claims whatsoever having to do with it and evolution, yet the popular media decided to go somewhere with it, they fabricated an entire story, and the uneducated got a hold of it and called it a scientific hoax.
Climate science is solid. It's as good as the science that brings us our telecommunications, internal combustion engines, moon landings, etc.
A scientist's analysis on climate change is one of inductively acknowledging the empirical data. Once something passes the test of the scientific method it's pretty much here for keeps.
One important aspect of lay people like us evaluating scientific matters is understanding the difference between the media and peer-reviewed journals.
Thanks for the link. I'm still on the fence, but that blows my "omg they said this in 70's and now this in 2009" argument right to hell.
peoples who's opinions i highly respect tell me theres no question. People who's opinions ive begun to laugh at (my father and brother (geologist with a masters degree in hunting for fossil fuels) tell me its liberal bs, (in addition to: obama is the worst president in history, socialism is at our door and being gay might be the highest offense to lord jesus christ,) tell me that it's all a hoax.Quote:

and its a powerful thought to think about the volume of the atomosphere. Even looking at pictures of Earth, the atomosphere looks tiny from outerspace. No way it can be an infinite dump for anything we pump into it as much as idealize thermo textbooks problems would hope it to be.
I have surprisingly more opinions on the subject than i realized.
So I waxed part of my legs today. It didn't hurt hardly at all. Just dealing with the damn wax getting everywhere was annoying.
I was on the fence for about a year. Also on the fence between Christianity and atheism for about six years, between creation and evolution for about two years, between several political policies for about a year. It takes some diligent motivation and research is all.Quote:

One is in his science forum and it has nothing but a ton of current publications on climate science, and the other is in the politics forum and it's for discussion. They're both super, super long, but they're extremely informative
I've taken so much geology and chemistry with climate change topics in it, and so my education tells me it's way true. It sure is hard to ignore the correlation between increased CO2 and increased temperature. I'd add more but I'm way too lazy.
aboogorilla, ha
did this forum change its text recently? when i first got here the numbers were in such a way and the 'lb' confuses the eye so that it looked to me like aboogorilla
thats alright, nothing really happened between 1865 and 1900 anyway, no worries.Quote:

The global warming we have been seeing for the last 100 years is extremely rapid on geologic scales (in fact, it may be the fastest heating period in the history of the planet), it correlates completely with human emissions of greenhouse gases, doesn't correlate with anything else (like solar activity as the first video I posted explained), and the theory about how greenhouse gases cause climate shifts is solid.
Look at it this way, there is enough carbon in the fossil fuels we use to return Earth to the time when there was no ice, like it was about 50 million years ago. If we burned enough fuel, we would all die, no question. But this doesn't account for many other huge greenhouse emissions that have nothing to do with fossil fuels like livestock methane (livestock is responsible for more greenhouse gases than transport) and deforestation
Check it
For the last 650k years, atmospheric levels of carbon never topped 280 parts per million (ppm), but in the last century we have seen this rise to 385 ppm. Projections are that in the near future we will reach 450 ppm, and the long term goal among climate activists/scientists is to reduce down to 350 ppm. Some data claims that we're already at the effective 455 ppm given the levels of methane, hydrofluorocarbons, and nitrous in the atmosphere.
Why is this important?
At 1000 ppm, scientists believe it is very likely that we will trigger an anoxic event which, throughout prehistory, is thought to be responsible for numerous mass extinction events. Anoxic events essentially are very rapid oceanic and atmospheric changes in toxicity that poisons nearly all species of plant and animal
But it's 1000 ppm, it's a ways off, right? Well, not necessarily; this is because of environmental feedback loops that cause greater and greater natural emissions of greenhouse gases.
We don't know everything about these feedback loops because we are essentially conducting the first experiment ever, but we do know many of the numbers, and they suggest that it may be likely that once we hit great enough feedback loops we will have gone beyond a point of no return, and the globe will just continue to warm rapidly despite our ability to reduce greenhouse emissions.
These feedback loops are things like the more ice melts the less heat that gets reflected back into space and thus the faster the Earth heats and melts even more ice, the hotter it gets the more wildfires and thus the fewer carbon sequestering as well as higher levels of carbon emitted due to the plant burn, permafrost melting and thus creating a ginormous feedback loop of released methane which would probably be enough by itself to shoot us up to 1000 ppm or something, etc. There are many feedback loops, they're not well understood, but they are widely considered to be a major cause for alarm
that's some scary shit
http://www.green.tv/6_degrees
Short video of what will likely happen between now and 2100 if the world isn't gung ho about behemoth amounts of gh gas emission reduction soon
hmmm :shock:
So why do people still have to tell me "I just dont believe that carbon should be considered a pollutant"?
"believe" being the key word in the entire issue
ha, thats funny we normally just only made it up til WWII if we were lucky... its like, they knew we werent going to make it all the way, but they just started where the curriculum started anyways...
that's alright.. you didn't miss a whole lot either. in fact, not a whole lot happened in the world until 1985 or so, give or take. so again, no worries.Quote:

Chelle's post in the Word Association thread reminded me of it.

"Clinginess", the scourge of non-doting boyfriends everywhere, is a toxic brew of jealousy, neediness, dependency and insecurity. In short, homegirl has separation anxiety. She desperately wants to be your number one priority, and she'll drown your new puppy if he gets in the way. "While men tend to be jealous of potential sexual rivals, women tend to be jealous of time and attention," says Charles T. Hill, professor of psychology at Whittier College. So devote every waking moment to this needy nutjob or dump her and move on, right? Hold your horny horses sheriff-it could be more scientific than that. A recent, and totally awesome University of Washington study found that certain proteins are transferred to women during sex. On a hormonal level, these sly proteins may dampen her interest in other males while heightening her attraction, and possibly psychotic neediness for you. It's like sperm hypnosis.
Yeah, that dog has eyebrows.Quote:
