****ing lol

Nothing but disdain for the Cobras

 
I happen to know a little bit about multi-variate analysis and complex systems.

The idea that the science is settled and infallible is terribly flawed. That would suggest no further study is needed, which is nonsensical.
ok, why then would the right be actively de-funding climate research? why did abbott slash the CSIRO?

so you'd support a boost in funding towards climate research?

I've just got back from Japan, spent three weeks there, had an amazing time!

I went Tokyo, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, Kobe, Himeji, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Hakone and then back to Tokyo

Highlights include Kyoto, the baseball in Hiroshima (best stadium in Japan), Golden Gai in Shinjuku Tokyo, amazing food (including spending about $250 on A5 wagyu beef in Kobe, yes really), Himeji castle, Fushimi Inari-taisha 4km hike, Super Potato in Akihabara (a store that had Super Nintendos and other old consoles in original packaging, it was a like a museum to me!) and riding the shinkansen

I didn't like the heat (I wouldn't go in August again), loud cicadas everywhere you went, not being able to find antiperspirant deodorant anywhere, the smoking in bars and restaurants, how much they charged for fruit, how much they charged for pizza and the lack of bins anywhere

I watched the Port v Freo game at my mate's house in Setagaya, he has a WatchAFL subscription. The only Aussie pub in Tokyo was Bar Quest in Roppongi (one of the sketchiest areas of Tokyo) and it was so sh*t! It was like Checkmates or Strats, but without the strippers, and they didn't show AFL, and there was shisha for some inexplicable reason

I'm already planning another trip there I loved it so much!

The alarmist nonsense comes mainly from climate projections. Climate modeling can't accurately predict global temperatures 3 years from now, there's no chance any 80+ year predictions have any validity at all. It's just not possible to accurately predict all the variables in a complex system that we still don't understand. Even historical analysis of temperatures is unreliable, just look at the Michael Mann fiasco. It's actually difficult finding proper critical analysis of either side of the climate debate, instead we're left with arguments presented in silos.


The international scientific community accepts that increases in greenhouse gases due to human activity have been the dominant cause of observed global warming since the mid-20th century. Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes in all components of the climate system.

Our scientists use results from climate models that are based on established laws of physics. Confidence ratings for the projections are based on five lines of evidence:


why do you, some random guy on the internet, think you understand the science better than australia's peak scientific body?

Some bedtime reading:

Being able to smoke in bars turned me into a smoker in SE Asia. That and a pack costing $1.

Would love to go to Japan.

Why bring politics into a science debate?

CSIRO has been poorly served by both sides of politics.

this is a laughable false equivalence.

on one side you have global scientific consensus
on the other you have faith based political arguments

There’s no global scientific consensus on alarmism.

Notice how real physics is eventually proven true (eg Higgs boson, gravity waves) but climate models are continuously proven false?

Was in Tokyo last September, absolutely loved it also and can't wait to go back.
If you have Foxtel, try watching the NHK channel. Most watched channel in our house now.

Dylan8 don't be a drunk smoker bro you start craving 'em after 1 beer eventually.
Nah I weaned off pretty fast after both being unwilling to pay through the nose and feeling bad about bumming off people.
