@Dan8267 the current plan is to have non-me moderators for specific topics. The moderator and his deputies can decide who can post in that topic. Want to be a moderator for some topic?
Patrick, looks like new image posts are broken. It looks like a URL redirect problem.
For example,

gets mapped to

I think many people in Houston, New Orleans, and Miami would vote that they need more money for Civil Engineers than Climate Scientists at this point.
If you believe in free markets at all, then either all pollution should be banned since it's theft or all pollution should be taxed for the cleanup of said pollution so that production that pollutes isn't subsidized by production that doesn't. The free market solution is to either ban or fully tax and then let the market react to how much coal we should burn. Do you not believe in free markets?
But here's a quick hint for you. You want to know what causes the heat in the ocean, go look up into the sky during the day. See that fireball? That's your answer.
And for tomorrows lesson, we will go over the peculiarities of 2 + 2...
There is no functional way to implement this across 6 billion people on the planet. We'd end up with pockets of strict command and control in western Europe/Canada/US and some of asia. The rest of the world would never follow along.
Hurricane Irma
The rest of the world is already doing more than the U.S.
It's an established FACT that the USA leads the world in carbon emissions reduction and has for a decade
We also lead the world in alternative energy production
Your statement is empirically false. The rest of the world is already doing more than the U.S. Reality disproves your conjecture.
Where? And how do you define "more" and "rest of the worlds"?
Your grossly oversimplified statements sound more like an ideology, more like a fundamentalism, than science. It makes skeptics run from your cause. If your goal is to make people disagree w you, your approach is a case study in how to do that.
Great power is out FPL sucks.

Has the water risen to your doorstep yet? I have champagne on ice...
Dan8267 saysGreat power is out FPL sucks.
Wait, shouldn't you blame the lack of power on Global Warming and not on FPL? after alll, you're blaming global warming for the hurricane.
And yes, it is a scientific fact that hurricanes are more severe due to global warming. Only idiots deny that. Do you even know anything about thermodynamics? Christ, you should have learned that shit in high school.

Ah, the nature of the conservative right is revealed once again. You are petty and despicable.
Great power is out FPL sucks. I have to resort to posting on petnet with my phone. How uncivilized

Patrick.net works on a phone now???
Yeah, buried power lines would be a LOT better. Not sure if you can even due that in many parts of Florida due to water table being so high.

Looks like I triggered Shrek again with the truth. He's throwing apissyROTFLOL fit.
Yeah, I never would have thought about making a comment like that without your tutelage...
Thanks for the lesson you petty despicable hypocrite...

Rin says
Hey Blue Sardine, have you ever thought about dying of natural causes, since it's illegal for me to advocate suicide?
Dan says
Does auto-erotic asphyxiation count as natural causes? Because I've got a bet on that in the dead pool.
Some enterprising conservatives will no doubt find particular sites where the number of intense hurricanes has decreased, and use that to make a crappy case that global warming decreases hurricane intensity.
Ironman is looting Georgie's. Dan went down to cut him down with a sawed off shotgun.

It is premature to conclude that human activities–and particularly greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming–have already had a detectable impact on Atlantic hurricane or global tropical cyclone activity.
It is premature to conclude that human activities–and particularly greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming–have already had a detectable impact on Atlantic hurricane or global tropical cyclone activity. That said, human activities may have already caused changes that are not yet detectable due to the small magnitude of the changes or observational limitations, or are not yet confidently modeled (e.g., aerosol effects on regional climate).
Anthropogenic warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause tropical cyclones globally to be more intense on average (by 2 to 11% according to model projections for an IPCC A1B scenario). This change would imply an even larger percentage increase in the destructive potential per storm, assuming no reduction in storm size.
There are better than even odds that anthropogenic warming over the next century will lead to an increase in the occurrence of very intense tropical cyclone in some basins–an increase that would be substantially larger in percentage terms than the 2-11% increase in the average storm intensity. This increase in intense storm occurrence is projected despite a likely decrease (or little change) in the global numbers of all tropical cyclones.
Anthropogenic warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause tropical cyclones to have substantially higher rainfall rates than present-day ones, with a model-projected increase of about 10-15% for rainfall rates averaged within about 100 km of the storm center.
The strongest hurricanes in the present climate may be upstaged by even more intense hurricanes over the next century as the earth’s climate is warmed by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although we cannot say at present whether more or fewer hurricanes will occur in the future with global warming, the hurricanes that do occur near the end of the 21st century are expected to be stronger and have significantly more intense rainfall than under present day climate conditions. This expectation (Figure 11) is based on an anticipated enhancement of energy available to the storms due to higher tropical sea surface temperatures.

Is that what you call "science"? The quote I brought is in the present tense, and does not involve any could may will in the future when the auther is retired.
Come back when you have smay be upstagedomething of substance. Oh, and and educate yourself on what science is:www.youtube.com/embed/OL6-x0modwY
Core samples, tide gauge readings, and, most recently, satellite measurements tell us that over the past century, the Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) has risen by 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters). However, the annual rate of rise over the past 20 years has been 0.13 inches (3.2 millimeters) a year, roughly twice the average speed of the preceding 80 years.
