I've also heard a prostitute refer to a job as a trick, what is your point? Apparently in Jesus' day a "virgin birth" was when a child was born out of wedlock.
Here's a good site with plenty of links. Climate Depot Here's Al Gore on Conan O'Brien on 11/12/09 claiming the core of the Earth is "several million degrees" which would make Earth a star. Using high resolution seismic images, scientists estimate it to be close to 3,700 degrees celsius.
Facts don't matter to the AGW delusionists. All they care about is what they've been told to believe.
Actually, it's Al that gets invited to testify before Congress anytime a matter comes up on AGW. Even though he has major conflicts of interest with his carbon-offset corporation, Generation Investment Management, based in London.
Shawn you seem to do that with just about anyone you dont agree with. I think I know why as well. You figure it worked for the climate scientists for so long you might as well give it a shot. I just dont understand it. The emails are there clearly stating data was falsified and adjusted. Yet you choose to ignore it pounding on your chest like you know it all
No, I do it for trolls who repeat the same falsehoods and aren't worth arguing with, those who lack any ability to make reasonable arguments, and those who effectively contribute nothing to the site or my knowledgebase. It's my way of avoiding being baited into pointless arguments. I probably need to put all of your multiple accounts on ignore. I agree with F8L, this thread probably needs to be moved to FHOP political forum.
Thank you for verifying his point. Anyone with an opinion different than yours you put on ignore. I've looked at all your recent posts and you've only just posted to call people trolls. You haven't posted a single fact or contributed anything to the discussion (except for a weird tangent on light bulbs - which I actually agree with you 100%.) I'm so glad the world is waking up to the AGW hoax.
Radio is spot on. Thats exactly where I was going with this. Shawn is doing exactly what the scientists at CRU and IPCC are doing.
The point is anyone following the link and bothering to read the post (with a modicum of understanding) can readily see that the 'trick' in this case is a prostitution of the scientific method via presenting incomplete data to control an agenda rather than present a clear picture. Your non sequitur about a virgin birth has a point?
Wow, didn't realize they were also putting ignorant lying trolls on ignore as well. Smart folks over there.
It was as pointless as this discussion. I was saying that at different times and in different sectors of the community different meanings are given to words and phrases. Sick in the local youth culture means good, phat is also good, If I said to you, "getting up at 5:00 am has hair on it", it wouldn't mean that it has actual hair on it, but that it is not a nice thing to have to do. I'd rather get up at 8:30am thanks. So in the "world" of climatology trick may just be saying something along these lines, "when you are removing the dash panels from the Prius the trick is to pull back and upward gently until the clips come out of the holes." As you can see I am not talking about magic or an illusion, the panels will really come off in the manner described, but if you do it wrong you will frankly f*** the whole thing up. So you see the word "trick" can be used to describe "the right way to do something" or "a prostitutes job" or a slight of hand. I think in the climate lab, it means the way to get accurate meaningful results that take into account know variables like location and local changes to the environment like reductions in tree cover or increases in urban sprawl. Why am I allowing myself to be sucked into this crap? Let there be an enquiry into the unlawful theft of the emails and see what results.
Wow. Did you even read the post of ufourya's that you were replying too? Ufourya's article explained why the word "trick" wasn't some word to describe something legitimate. Specifically: Shawn (funny that rhymes with yawn), you've become the biggest troll in the thread. Not a single post of yours has even been *remotely* on topic in weeks.
This is truly beautiful. Climategate is becoming more popular of a search term than global warming. “Climategate” surpasses “Global Warming” on Google Watts Up With That? And there's a top ten "annoyances in the global climate change debate", which ring true to this thread: Link: Spencer: Top 10 Annoyances in the Climate Change Debate Watts Up With That? The CRU hacking/leaking is probably the single greatest blessing for academia in the last 10 years. What a beautiful thing to expose these crooks.
Well, it looks as if the moon-bats who suuport the church of Al Gore and his religious drivel disguised as science have been exposed for the leftist loonies they truly are. They cannot stand any honest dialouge on the subject, and act like chileren by demonizing anyone who dares question their arrogance (kind of like the White House trying to control their version of truth).

This is ridiculous. The real point is, if you don't follow the link and educate yourself as to what 'trick' means in the way Jones uses it, you will remain ignorant of the truth and continue to argue about trivialities. Your lack of curiosity and understanding is breathtaking.
Have you noticed the AGWers have failed to rebut any of your links? They just ignore it, point to something else, and call us trolls.
