Climate and Weather

[Ricky Fandango]

Well you stumped me.

Clever.

I gave you the author and the book.
The picture and its caption tell enough of the story that any reasonably intelligent person would be able to figure out that,
A. It was warmer and wetter in that location 5000 years ago than it is today.
2) This fact may be contrary to what some in the political climate science community would have us believe.

Either you're an asshole, an idiot, or some combination of the two.

...and you found this picture while taking a crap, right?

You are pretty angry for someone who doesn't mind shitting himself.

I'm not angry - it's not allowed today. I'm amused at Ricky's latest failed attempt to say something meaningful about climate change.

None so blind as those who will not see....MAGOO!

He used to tell us, but after a few rounds of disclosures that might have led some to believe the plumber was just a gullible target of web-loons, he now prefers to keep the identity of his masters secret.

Speaking of loons...
How ya doin'?

 

[Lion Eyes]

What am I missing?

T-ball huh? My, my, my.....

Let's reboot and repeat...

What do you think about the ancient trees in the frozen tundra near the arctic ocean?
No big deal? Interesting? Perhaps you recall climbing that tree 5 thousand years ago in your youth? What?

Your very existence says something meaningful about climate change.

Having trouble making a statement?

Nothing. High probability that you'll miss just as much tomorrow as you missed today.

I do some of my best research while crapping, but no.
Have you anything to say about the actual tree stump or not?

Its evidence. Solid, scientific evidence.
Are you a denier?

It's evidence of one tree in one location. What conclusion are you jumping to from that?

 

[Lion Eyes]

Having trouble making a statement?

Yes you are, you've said nothing in response to my query...I'll try one more time..

That's a question, not a statement.

Michael Mann based his theory on tree ring data.
The tree ring data on THIS tree suggests that he is full of shit.

Tree rings are only part of Mann's data.

Spruce trees dont grow all by themselves on the arctic tundra.
They grow in forests.

What do the tree rings say about this tree?
Keep digging, magoo.

Where did that come from? And why do you think it is meaningful?
