Did you even read the fucking article?

Perhaps it is because there is no source of this chart. Who made it? Where does it come from?

Weather != Climate

Where did I say that? And who exactly is proposing totalitarianism? We're talking about limiting CO2 emissions here, not tattooing a fucking number on your arm.

Christ, we don't let people dump PCPs in rivers, do you think that's dictatorial?

Blah blah blah Koch-bot.

"No proven link"

Your inability to understand how science is noted, and undermines every other thing you say.

And you have some evidence for this claim, right?

So you think liberty can magically make sea levels recede? I've heard some Americans mythologize, but I never knew they thought they had superpowers.

It's kind of irrelevant what the Florida government or the Koch Brothers Family of Astroturfers think. The insurance industry accepted the reality of AGW quite some time ago, and people living in coastal areas are already viewed as higher risks by actuaries. Surely there must be someone in government of the state of Florida that tracks this and is capable of understanding why it's going on.

Yes, I know. I always get tuttes about quantum superposition at work, ands don't get me started on the missives banning plate tectonics.

And yet engineers keep falling into the trap of thinking a. they're scientists and B. they have expertise and experience that give them some special insight into fields they really have no significant knowledge of.

It might be something if a chemical engineer with expertise in organic chemistry were to critique abiogenesis theories, but to have a guy with a degree in mechanical engineering and CS appealing to his own authority is precisely what the Salem Hypothesis speaks to.

It is dangerous enough when a scientist speaks to a field of research he has no expertise in, and some even brilliant career have ended on a sad note because of just that, but to have creationist engineers declaring that they have some special ability to declare a field of study wrongfooted is simply absurd.

I don't think the Salem Hypothesis asserts all engineers are Creationists, just that as a professional group, engineering seems to produce more than its fair of Creationists.

Gentlemen, I submit to you another shining example of the Salem Hypothesis.

This fake paper seems to have fooled you.

For those people, I give Excel...

My biggest fear is we're fostering the next generation of crap coders who leave behind a legacy of badly written crapola. My first professional work as a programmer was cleaning up VisualBASIC 4 code, and then a decade later, I was given the job of cleaning up PHP4 code, and the experiences were equally awful.
