This whole sub-thread is about money. Dr.D said I say horse-puckey. The federal government has spent billions on pro-AGW research over the past two decades, far more money that the fossil fuel industry and any think tanks it may be funding have spent. Some might not trust the numbers from...

No, referring to Stephen McIntyre and ClimateAudit are a silly distraction. Yes, you absolutely are. It is an exaggeration intended to highlight your silly distraction. Oh looky, a genuine statement of fact. Let's look at a couple of these 'weak' references. US Climate Change Science...

They lost weight the old fashioned way, famine! thanks :)

Well said. So that means that $79 billion from the federal government doesn't outweigh $23 million from ExxonMobil? You read my post, didn't you? He doesn't always brush his teeth and he kicks puppies, too. Did the article have any grammatical errors we should know about?

32 feet per second per second, yes?

Try reading the PDF. The last 3 pages is nothing but reference. This is the specific reference for the quote. The point of my quoting the article was refuting the non-sense .

wow, that was quick! Thanks, not sure everyone will share your sentiments :)

Please stop yammering about consenus. The only science where the word is not out of place is political science. A state legislature in Ohio once reached the consensus that pi = 22/7. They passed a law, but were still wrong. A governing body can not vote to outlaw gravity. Gravity is.

The federal government outspends the petroleum industry on climate studies by nearly 1000 - 1. PDF warning Real Climate The other side of the coin Perhaps the skeptics have a greater presence in the blogosphere because they aren't mystified by those new fangled interwebs.

It looks like the forecasts didn't pan out, but the researchers will get a chance to perfect their methodologies.

The legend continues :eek: :eek: :eek:

A quick glance at Wikipedia shows that some slugs are carnivorous. They will attach to almost anything, which any New England hiker that has taken a break can confirm ;) My guess is that it attached to the milk snake while it was still living and the snake dragged it out into the open. The...

For that Beaver Pond, some kind of water shoe would suffice. It's not deep and the bed should still be quite firm. The grassy area looks like it could suck the Crocs off your foot :eek: This summer I have crossed some areas where I did wish I was carrying my snowshoes. Do you carry the Bean...

Was that thing near the snake's tail really lifeless, or just a little sluggish? ;)

Yes, that is where the gate is. Back in March I found a spot where the snow bank was narrow and that worked out OK :)

There is a gate where the state forest extends to Lost Nation Road. You can road walk most of the way to the ridge. Depending on how much you want to scramble, the southern end of the ridge is easier access. It's worth the time to follow the whole ridge. I was up there the first day of spring...

Not a fan of getting soaked, but have gotten over it this year. I prefer being a soggy hiker to being a dry couch spud. Pack extra socks (and a snorkel) and double wrap everything in plastic bags.

It's a great trail. The overlook into the ravine is a gem.

you have the wrong lyrics for that album cover, but you knew that.
