Okay, now you're just being ridiculous.
Each of these extinction events occurred MILLIONS of years ago. They all MUST have occurred as a result of natural phenomena!!! That is 100% fact--unless you think aliens landed on the planet or something???
If the previous five CO2 spikes were natural, the CURRENT (alleged) CO2 spike could also be natural. Your claim to the contrary is baseless, because you have no evidence to support it. You simply called it "inconsistent with previous spikes" but you gave no evidence to back that up.
Ah basket case no, they can be explained simply by other means, by the sort of means you have little understanding, in, by milankovich cycles, by volcanic activity, by continental drift by the proximity of the sun to the Earth. The modern ways has taken account of all that, and can't show it is purely natural.
But then, there's no reason you should be so worked up about my latest idea: science is NOT sure that these five extinction events were actually caused by global warming. The whole thing is a THEORY. Frankly, I'm surprised you skipped over that part.
Actually yours was a hypothesis, a theory needs experimental evidence to support it.
If there is scientific evidence that proves my suspicions false, show it.
You haven't.
I think Gothmog already did that. Read it again.
Which means all the theories I've been tossing out are exactly that: theories. Not fact, and not false. This isn't a federal trial, and you have to right to impose "false until proven true" on me.
No a theory is not true but it is more substantiated than a hypothesis, nothing in science is fact, but nothing in opinion is either if you want to overrturn the rich evidence you need science, hell go back over the threads, bring out all the proofs then substantiate a counter claim, that is theory.
I don't have to subject you to that one--because other people already have. Ironically, those people are on YOUR side of the table!!!
Your fellow environmentalists are the ones to blame for this one.
Pwnt!
Yeah I know but I've seen this same BS used as an excuse by knowlessmen, and humans breathing is better?
I have never sought to pwn anyone, I think it's childish, but if I am pwned you have done little to actually prove it. What is to blame is pseudoscience, things like Bush saying he's aware that the polar bears are starting to move towards extinction but he can't explain why, this sort of industrial governmental rubbish may play in Basket world but in the big boy world, you have to back up insubstantial opinion.
