Comment Re:Climate models (Score 1, Informative) 264

How about we fix the climate models before using them to predict things?

How about these guys take into account the rising temperatures in oceanic heat reservoirs instead of restricting their analysis to lagging indicators like air temperature?

Because historical deep oceanic temperature records do not exist. There is no evidence of rising oceanic temperatures.

Comment Re:Ebay Had the Same Problem (Score 1) 265

ebay improved the system by only allowing buyers to provide feedback, but they could improve the system more by giving the buyer the same rating as the buyer is giving the seller. Feedback is useful in determining whether or not the transaction was successful, but not useful in determining which of the two parties is responsible for a failed transaction.

* It is nonsense through mutual reviews for the public to know which party was to blame for a bad transaction.
* It is nonsense that in a transaction one party can be happy with the end result while the other party is unhappy.
* Reviews are useful in rating whether or not a transaction was a success or a failure, but not useful for assigning blame.
