    NO TROLLS Jordan De Goey arrested for assault in New York

    No wonder they were stealing de Goey's drinks (if true).

    Rumour And they say Footballers are dumb - got nothing on their WAGs

    She probably has a valid point about whether equal coverage would be given, but it was an interesting example that she chose to cite. It happened before she was born so she wouldn’t personally recall the level of publicity given to it. Would’ve thought there would be a comparable kidnapping case...

    Rumour And they say Footballers are dumb - got nothing on their WAGs

    The weekend's fatal shark attack on a white man received a lot more coverage than the one three weeks ago on a man apparently of Islander/Aboriginal extraction, which was barely mentioned by mainstream news services. But I guess an attack at a city beach is bigger news than one out on the Reef.

    Reckon he's given up on Gil's job, they don't want him anyway. May as well say his piece.

    AFL bans skin fold testing of recruits citing body shaming

    High skinfold might be seen as a positive by recruiters seeing scope for improvement under an AFL club training regimen. Once again the AFL being murky and likely dishonest with their explanation to the public.

    AFL bans skin fold testing of recruits citing body shaming

    Is this a consequence of AFLW? Surely most normal young blokes who are extremely fit compared to the average person don't obsess over a skinfold test result that isn't the lowest in the group.

    No team has beaten a team above it in either group. We’d be a bit unlucky if it happened now.

    The Perth Thread - Part 4

    Interesting that witnesses identified two different species which would be an ultra-rare event if proven. The trauma of witnessing a shark attack does funny things to people. Sometimes the size of the shark, partly submerged and twisting with a head visible here and a tail there, can be...

    Climate Change Arguing

    As said, the solar scientists have been largely poo-pooed. NASA's refutation doesn't mention cloud formation, which is one of the major contentions by Nakamura and others. The models don't account for it because they can't, the computing power required is immense and we simply don't have it. As...

    Climate Change Arguing

    It's true that terrestrial climate scientists disregard the work of solar scientists who believe we're heading into a period of cooling. Generally speaking their theory is that with the sun at its least active in at least 200 years, solar radiation will be usurped by cosmic radiation which leads...

    Climate Change Arguing

    Climate science draws from various fields including meteorology, oceanography, physics, chemistry, geology etc. Even astrophysicists are getting involved. They all specialise in their own fields and tend to believe their area of expertise is the most important regarding climate. Your assertion...

    Climate Change Arguing

    OK Sawyer 1972 was not a model but an article published in Nature. Here is a link to the paper itself; I'm not about to pay for it. His predictions were based on basic greenhouse theory, one of which was the level of CO2 concentration in the year 2000 (not very difficult to extrapolate from the...

    Climate Change Arguing

    If a model published in the 70's was accurately predicting global climate, there'd be no need for new ones! I just don't think you comprehend how complex climate is. Climate science is in its infancy and I will state without fear of contradiction THERE IS NO WAY KNOWN a model based on the state...

    Climate Change Arguing

    No. I've seen them previously. Observation is knowledge and models are updated constantly as a result. And given the bad habits plaguing climate science, likely retro-tuned to fit observations. I'm sick of repeating myself but you need to produce a forecast published in year X, not a history...

    I said NO PAST-POSTING! It's hard to predict the future. Really ******* hard. I'm not about to try but am happy for others to put themselves up for ridicule, e.g. Tim Flannery. Good man, smart man, found some tree kangaroos, but totally out of his depth when it comes to predicting the future...

    You’ve just discovered all you need to know about climate models but refuse to absorb it because it threatens your worldview. I’ll cut you an even break - nominate a model you trust and we’ll review its results ten years from now.

    I want to see the published forecast with some sort of timestamp which I can then validate against actual observations. You haven't been able to produce what I asked for. Tip: don't blame yourself.

    Climate Change Arguing

    Nobody likes a punter who claims to have backed a winner after the race is run. Can you provide a published model forecast which predicted future global temperature trends accurately?

    Climate Change Arguing

    Please do as I requested and supply a contemporary (i.e. "of the time") forecast of future temps that proved accurate. Not a retrospective one. PS that chart is showing observations increasing between c.1998 and 2012, which is not accurate. Below is the gold reference which shows no such increase.
