To end the age madness:

Yes, and around twenty others know me: ZENZEN, Simba, TeeArr, bortas1, BudGray, qbert, Phantom, just to name a few...

I am a member of Duxford Squadron, Eagle Wing.  I am its squeaker, and frequently told to move the microphone a few feet back.  My wingman is ZENZEN, and I wouldn't be where I am in the game without his and BudGray's help.  Simba isn't on that much, but usually can tell us anything we need to know about how our planes behaved in WWII.  We've recently had a few players get angry at each other (won't name names out of respect), and leave, as well as one leaving to join the Arabian Knights.

If you want to question their ability to tell a man's voice from a child's, go ahead, you'll be soundly rebuffed.


That doesn't preclude two people using the BBS account. It doesn't preclude much of anything if none of these people have not ever seen you, does it?

We have had more than a few incidents where several people, adults and kids, have used both a game account and a BBS account.

does it really matter if hes 13 or 80?

he presents you with the same tired and weak argument that most alarmists do:

we dont have to prove we are right, we just have to make sure you cant prove we are wrong!



and that sums up the entirety of anything the wobbleheads have to say

I guess you failed to read what I wrote... There may be two entirely different people posting on that account. Read through the stuff posted since the appearance of Penguin. Sometimes it's lucid and cohesive, other times childish.

Second, inasmuch as I may be old enough to be your grand father, please don't call me "dood". Thanks. "Widewing", will do.

Britain's Daily Mail published an article relative to many of the AGW scientists now admitting that the planet is at the beginning of a major cooling cycle. Naturally, there are still some holdouts, such as University of East Anglia's Dr. David Viner. This guy, heavily implicated in the Climategate scandal, will never back off. Despite his former reputation being in shreds, he continues to display remarkable arrogance. 

Another holdout is Britain's Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband, who is apparently desperate to retain some relevancy. He forgets that rope is still manufactured in Britain. Meanwhile, here in America, you can count on the AGW advocates ignoring the evolving science as it is not in their political interest to declare man-made global warming a failed theory. Al Gore should pawn that Nobel medal while it still retains some value.

Here's the article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1242011/DAVID-ROSE-The-mini-ice-age-starts-here.html

Welcome to the intardnets dood.

You are more predictable than the sunrise. Some of us were placing bets as to your reply, few would have bet against the obvious.

Old and crotchety? Probably. A dude (dood), no. I'm the true antithesis of Jeff Spicoli.  :cool:

Oh my Widewing.  Far too many polysyllabic words.  The poor gentleman will lack the perspicacity to decipher your erudition (The dood's head will 'splode.)

Scientific study of the environment goes back a long way but the greatest proportion of environmental data has been gathered only in the last few decades. As I hold the degree of B.Sc.(Hons.) Environmental Science, I know that there's no such thing as absolute certainties in science, just probabilities based on the statistical analysis of data. Any scientist who states that he/she 'believes' something to be 'true' is expressing a personal opinion which ain't science. Science is a methodology, not a religion to be 'believed'. To fully understand any issue needs more than just belief that something's 'right' or 'wrong' because it's nearly always not that simple. Too many people take sides against those who disagree with their opinion instead of co-operating - and then it's 'goodbye sense, hello war'.

Being an optimist, I'm looking forward to seeing more co-operation than war as the human knowledge base increases. We'll all then benefit, as will the planet on which we all live.

Cheers!

Widewing have a smoke on this....you'll enjoy it.



Sounds like, someone is looking for an exit strategy... :noid

...and then in 5 years, while there is still an mini ice age, they will say "well, 2009 we did the best we could predict, relating to our computer model...but climate is to complicate to predict....blablabla"

Ah, I see where you are going with this guys:

This is just going to be about the scientists!  I'm out of here then, but all good points on global warming.  There's only one thing to do then, figure out what we're going to do with all of the air pollution in cities, and get all of the CFC's banned worldwide.

As to the personal jibe on me, I cannot say anyone has seen me personally.  If you can't accept that you have been arguing with a child so be it.  One cannot wrestle a pig and not get dirty, if you wish to hijack this thread, Skuzzy will take care of you.

And I thought that we were all at least somewhat mature here, you've shown me how childish an adult can be.
