Yes, it's a journalistic quote meant to scare, not quotation marks meant to express irony.

You dropped "on a short-term scale" when quoting me. The contradiction that you see escapes me. Please explain how the fact that our proxies don't allow us to talk about decade- or century-level temperature movements 50 milli

Throughout the vast majority of geological history, CO2 has been a lagging indicator, not a leading indicator, of global temperature. CO2 was 1600ppm back in the Eocene. High CO2 was caused by the high temperature, not the other way around.

The proxies we have for ancient periods don't allow us to state very much about what rates of warming looked like on a short-term scale. It's hard to rule out that it might not have been very much like today. And the CO2-driving a

@elonmusk Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity. Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we

Dittmann sounded just like Elon the other day on the call with Loomer, and was obviously Elon. In recent spaces, Dittmann sounds like someone else.

They didn't have to, several of the lines matched existing fragments. Also, the classical corpus is so small that humans still beat the computers for authorship analysis.

I can be of no help to anyone who only reads the first sentence of a paper and stops, especially when I asked him to read the whole thing. Also anyone with minimal necessary background on temperature proxies for 1850-1890, or a good backgro

My understanding is that cop car driving down the block and making a visual inspection after a likely gunfire event is a reasonable standard. I would expect that 90% of the time (in fact, 87% here) they won't find anything. It is easy

The Linear B decipherment is a bit of a con (more on Chadwick's side than poor Ventris, I expect). Ventris' grid method is cryptographic nonsense, of course. (Look in vain for any frequency tabulation.) But Chadwick (one of the be

You're hugely overestimating still. You seem to assume that all of the over-65s in the system are at PCI. In fact, only a small fraction of older people, even in late decades, need to be in long term medical care.

I just looked up the cost for my home for solar on Google's project Sunroof. It would cost me $14,000 upfront, after the personal tax incentives (tax $$) and some ungodly amount of tax-assisted R&D ($$$), and it will save me $8,00

A dollar is a dollar. You can spend it on one thing or the other. If you waste it on a solar panel, you don't get to go back and spend it on cake too.
