The trick to understanding the stock market is to recognize that it has almost nothing to do with actual financial indicators. What you really are predicting is herd psychology. You use technical analysis to see what other people using technical analysis are thinking. Your brilliant insight into...

In my lifetime, I've observed the end of the universe exactly zero times, and the end of myself exactly zero times. I have indirect evidence that the universe has not ended even once in the last 13.7 billion years. My conclusion is that the rate of universe ending is astronomically low, and that...

My understanding is that it's a very religious story, but not from the source everybody expects. It's not the Jewish/Christian Bible that provides the source, but Kaballah. Here's the analysis I read about this interpretation: http://drbrianmattson.com/journal/2014/3/31/sympathy-for-the-devil...

Again, you are repeating outright lies and bullcrap. I don't know where you are getting it, but you need to find more credible sources of information. And I should note that you failed the first test: you haven't posted a scientific paper that shows Mann was wrong. Your argument is entirely...

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. I'm doing nothing but representing the views of the overwhelming majority (97%) of climate scientists, which I learn by directly reading what they write. I've quoted numbers that are exactly what the current consensus represents, nothing I've said...

Thought I should address this too. Again, it's complete bullcrap of the highest horder. Mann has the highest credibility in scientific circles. But how exactly do you measure credibility in science? The currency of science is research papers, research papers, and research papers. Nothing else...

Your understanding of climate change is precisely why the average public shouldn't be allowed to comment. It's dismally bad. It's woefully pathetic. Nobody is going to admit something that is so horribly, horribly incorrect that it's not even wrong. Let's get some basic facts straight: Before...

The panic about the hockey stick wasn't nearly big enough. Michael Mann's work has been reproduced and expanded on more than a dozen times, and every single time the data shows that Mann was not only right, but that the future is worse than you think. Here's a graph that combines an 12,000 year...

You've got it exactly backwards. Republican spinmeisters started using the term climate change because it sounded less scary than global warming, this has been well documented. Scientists always used both terms, since one is a direct consequence of the other. And nobody has ever made a...
