Carbon Tax making a headline or two.

Maybe it'll go. Maybe it won't.

The science is in.

It's irrefutable.

Global Warming will murder us all.

^Well played.

A.) I don't know much about increasede solar activity beyond solar cycles.

B.) I've been looking at different ideas about the Expanding Earth. Initially I thought it was total poppy-cock. Now I think it's one of a number of possibilities. Since knowledge is either static / dead or expansive / comprehensive I'll go ahead and say that the whole gravitational effect on large bodies like dinosaurs was enough to convince me that the Expanding Earth model isn't completely out-of-left-field.

As per declining temperatures:



Large scale models show the same thing.



Note that we're at a peak. Note the four previous peaks.

I don't even bother buttoning up or flipping anyone off.

I just wander through the halls from step 3 on.

Expanding core/earth theory is interesting.

In terms of analyzing data apart from preconceived ideas it seems legit enough to look into further.

It also seems to account for the magma plumes much more than tectonic theory which has nothing to say about the plumes.

it also has implications toward pangaea and continental drift.

the continents haven't drifted apart,

they're just riding on a growing ball of dirt covered plasma.

it also explains earth's magnetic field and a few other things.

a molten metal core wouldn't have a magnetic field.

solid metal core surrounded by molten metal surrounded by solid mantle and crust also doesn't compute.

i just read about this the other day and found it really interesting for some reason.

Use of the word 'denial' is a clever linguistic trap.
