Re: Cooling the Earth: CO2, SO2, and The Sunscreen (4.00 / 2)

There is quite some reason to doubt that significant global warming occurs, that it is human made if it occurs and that it is catastrophic if it occurs. Don't insult the few people who still approach the topic scientifically

approach it scientifically by defying the world consensus of qualified climatologists? I don't insult such persons, I simply ignore 'em -- as I do godbotherers, flat-earthers, perpetual-motion inventors and astrologers :-)

Re: *cough* (none / 1)

well it is really the "as phrased" issue, of course. 'twas the Cato Institutional tone that tweaked my irritability...

there is always room for doubt whether I may be a philosopher dreaming that I am a butterfly, or vice versa, but this does not make jumping off tall buildings an advisable hobby :-)

ah, if we were only tardigrades...

Pity about reincarnation deniers (none / 0)

Tardigrades seem only one step removed from nirvana, surely.

Good to see you back in full swing, De. You always make me scramble for the google machinations.

You long, perhaps, to cross the seas,
dry and floating lightly on the breeze?
