Feel better about that rant? Again, I don't disagree with you, just wondering what reading newspapers have to do with it... My stance is pretty clear: Those who believe themselves as having more importance, and smarter, because they have a certain number of degrees hanging on their wall...

Once again...I'm not arguing facts since I don't disagree with you. I just wanted to understand what reading the newspaper has to do with anything. For a PhD you certainly have reading comprehension issues. Now, THAT was a personal attack ;-) Apparently, in your world - general attacks = OK...

What does reading the newspaper have to do with anything?

And, when "the science changed", what now? What you or I view as a conspiracy, could very well end up being a truth later on. It's easy to pick the easy ones out, but when we start ostracizing we run the risk of getting a whole lotta' egg on our faces if something turns out to be right after...

Agree with that. Once someone makes a prediction, it's doomed for scrutiny and used for fodder when they don't come true. But, the flip side, is using predictions invokes fear in an attempt to wake people up. When they don't come true, they just turn and go "see, your full of it".

Not "ALL" a vast, vast majority think so. But, you are advocating that Scientist are the Arbiter of Outlandish Beliefs. All scientists, some, do they get qualified, do we vote, etc.?

See, you are of the opinion that you still need to convince me. I was clear, or at least I thought I was, that I agree with the human impacts. That is not the debate I am in. Where I disagree is when pontificating DUI lawyers with PhDs and other elite academics and politicians and...

In my entire lifetime, I've been told we would be at an Armageddon stages so many times over the years. "The oceans will be boiling". "The icecaps will be gone by 2016". "The sea level will rise by 20 feet 'in the near future'". "If nothing is done by 2016, there is no turning back". There...

Who is the Arbiter of out Outlandish Beliefs? How do you get selected for such an important position. What if others have a different delineation of outlandish than you? What if what is outlandish today, is common knowledge tomorrow? So much of what we've heard about climate change has been...

Not directed at you, but to me it seems as long as people who think they are more intelligent take the tact to talk down to others, instead of to others, one will never convince them to see their side. Insulting someone to get them to agree with you is a strange tact which never works. But...

By keeping the moisture to your feet, your boots stay dry on the inside which makes them more comfortable, less likely to freeze up in the morning. Wicking moisture just puts is somewhere else, which may be a good thing, but not around your feet since that moisture won't go anywhere. Your...

Again, I am not entering into a discussion about climate change because I avoid political topics on here. In the 30 years I have been on this board, I never wade into political discussions. PhD or not.

I haven't said anything about the argument, I only laughed at how self-important you make yourself sound.

What the actual ****?? Great summary of being an elitist. I would've assumed this was sarcasm, but sadly I honestly think otherwise.

Good news for you https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/wld/world/population-growth-rate#google_vignette

I wear some Solomon ice climbing boots (Super Mountain Guide 9 - discontinued), lightly insulated (i.e. not a double-boot and no removable liner) and leather-lined. They are fully crampon compatible, but are positioned more as an approach shoe vs. a full-time ice climbing boot. I wear them...

Oh don't you worry. Correcting others is the favorite pastime of VFTT....

Great report! Love to see a map of the route if you have one?

Yep, no more moderators lol
