Here's the thing. Dr. Spencer knows more about climate than the author of this article or any of the rest of us. I can also provide you with a large list of climate scientists who don't "deny" climate change (as the 'noble lie' attempts to assert), but question the assertion that anthropogenic climate change is the…

Truely, if it wasn't for these skeptics, independent scientists, aided and abetted by our hidden trillion dollar research funds, would have already unleashed the final solution on the climate problem on the world and heralded us into a millennial reich of climate stability.

There is no science vs theology. That's like watching a debate on geology vs economics. They seek two answer entirely different questions. The lack of philosophical curiosity of people today is ridiculous.

Just for clarification sake, having read through a few comments, there is a real reason why this kind of looting is illegal. Much of the real value of finds like this does not lie in the objects themselves, but in the context they are found in.

I don't get this. Maybe I just didn't read it closely enough, but this sounds like bullshit.

That's pretty much the message they are sending. Hell at least compensate people with money or something.

You know what I do if I was a government? I would simply say, O you found an ancient artifact? Say good bye to taxes as you now have a tax "credit" that gets minus whatever taxes would be owed that year. Problem…

So, message to any future looters: melt down the invaluable historic artifacts you find, so that you're less likely to be caught when you sell them.

in Star trek there is actually a very good reason why so many aliens are humanoid and look so similar. in one of the last Next Gen eps, they discovered that trillions of years ago a huge empire of humanoid aliens ruled the galaxy but they all died out. before they died they spread "seeds" of themselves all over the…

I love this. I love that they're using a cast of relative unknowns rather than A-listers, I love that they're skewing a little young so they can reasonably get 3 or more movies from the same cast, and I love that for the next however-many-months until the movie comes out, I get to sit back and watch all the racists…

Oh bullshit. The same crowd that defends American-bashing is the same one that's first to cry foul when non-metric units of measurements are used, the first to point out that a website is global and not U.S.-centric and therefore should only cater to non-U.S. interests, yet you're also the first to hide behind the…

What I find amazing is that there are people posting here who think they saw an actual time-lapse film taken from over the north pole from a camera that was up there for 25 years.

YOU TAKE IT BACK ABOUT WAFFLE HOUSE.

I see your problem. All of your old ice is leaking out of the Fram Strait. I suggest we build an ice dam and keep all that old ice in it's place.

HAha, scary because that's like saying that Waffle House is the poor man's Denny's. Neither are that exciting.

While satellite observations have shown a decline in Arctic Ocean sea ice extent since the late 1970s, sea ice is highly mobile, and a decrease in extent does not necessarily imply a corresponding decrease in ice volume. Observations of thickness (which allows calculation of volume) have been limited, making it…

EVERYTHING is ALWAYS "up for debate" "among scientists". That's literally what science IS, for fuck's sake. You want concrete, set-in-stone, made-up answers that can't be falsified to keep you warm and comfortable at night, you go to religion.

I know it's been said so many times but it must be repeated:

This. And the way the quote smugly says they answered "correctly" if they said true to the question. Just ugh.

Why isn't the title to this article, 'A third of Europeans think the Sun revolves around the Earth'?
