ThaiHome Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 So now you are saying there is no proof that climate change is caused by humans? But maybe some day in the future we will have the knowledge and technology to find out? Isn't that what I have been sayin along long? TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've tended to maintain a position of open-mindedness on the causes of global warming. Others, such a RY, seem to take the absolute position of there being no link between global warming and humanities activities. He seems adamant on this issue. I view such a position as foolish, even dimwitted, as there's too much uncertainty. If you are maintaining an open-minded position, then I apologise for misunderstanding your posts. At times your posts have suggested a vehemently sceptical position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think I will invite some board members to follow a Master's in meteorology and after that I will maybe accept some of their statements.... Of course we have to remain open-minded as climatology is a very young science. This said, I read so much bullshit especially from RY that I want to throw-up.... Since when a someone, even a scientist can be used as a reference for something completely out of his field of work/research???? Everyone is free to express his opinion about climate change but using as reference even a MIT biologist will just convince me that this guy/scientist is a clown... This is a bit like if I was going to tell an oil engineer what he should do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I'd quite like to do a masters in meteorology, but then I'd quite like to do masters/doctorates in many fields. Life is too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 ... At times your posts have suggested a vehemently sceptical position. I am "vehemently sceptical". My problem is the media treats human caused climate change as fact. Which produces people like you that think it is a fact as well, right up to point, someone with your intelligence actually tries to find proof and finds out it currently does not exist. What does exist is exhaustive studies that show the climate is changing. (again: ) and slow progress is being made on modeling the global climate (which I don't think we will see in our lifetime, we just won't have the computer power to do it.) Clean the air, quit dumping toxic chemicals, do all you can to reduce pollution, but donâ??t tell me we have to do it because Bangkok is going to be under water in 20 years if we donâ??t.

Faustian Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Ummm, I still don't think you understand my position on this issue despite having stated it repeatedly. I'm open-minded, it doesn't mean I've bought the bullshit. The computer power is coming. Quantum computers will be able to model vastly complex systems.

ThaiHome Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yep, our technology can solve everything. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
