Even a 100% die hard skeptic would respect a scientific statement that the chances of the Texas fire and Russia fire last year being a normal fluctuations is 0.13%.

No such equivocation attends a Goddard Institute for Space Studies appraisal of the heat wave that assaulted Texas, Oklahoma, and northeastern Mexico last summer. Their report represents a sea change in high-level climate studies in that they boldly assert a causal link between specific weather events and global warming. The Texas heat wave, like a similar one in Russia the previous year, was so hot that its probability of occurring under “normal” conditions (defined as those prevailing from 1951 to 1980) was approximately 0.13%. It wasn’t a 100-year heat wave or even a 500-year one; it was so colossally improbable that only changes in the underlying climate could explain it. [emphasis mine]

Climate change and the American West

How are you doing bud?

Well, thinking about you and hope the hostile one has evaporated. Catch up with you later. 

David, I did not realize there was hostility on this site. I know how miserable that is, having been a target of some pretty nasty stuff from someone who disagreed with me. I read many of your comments, although I am very behind on reading mail. Is there some group that I could receive you comments? Don't want to lose you. 

Hey, thanks for accepting! Nice to meet ya! :)

David, please don't leave the forum.  I hope that it has not become too hostile, and I apologize if my posts have contributed to that perception.  I am not a fan of personal attacks as they tear at the fabric of a community - Chris' attack upon Joseph (what have you done with your life) is both an attack and irrelevant.  In addition, Chris has repeatedly posted items completely detached from the thread and prior posts, in violation of AN rules.  I've appreciated several of your posts and hope you continue.  Best regards,

Greg 

David, maybe you would be interested in this group.

Hey bud, thanks for friending me!  Glad to have you hear, your discussions are always spot-on and have no Vogon bias.  None.

Hello David. Saw that you posted this discussion on Google, which I fully support. Anytime you want to share anything from me, I will fully support. But what I want to know is how can I get to this on Google to view it. Thanks for the help, my friend, and have a great day.

Hey, David. If you mean the movie, yes. Don't know much more about it than that.

Hay David, very nice to see you are involved in the forums.  I wanted to give you a little insight on Madhukar - here and here.  I grew tired of discussing with him, I don't care much what he has to say about other topics, but when it comes to LGBT issues I want Nexus to be the fully welcoming place that it is.  Cheers.

Hello my friend. Do you like Arvo Pärt?

This combo of the music and dance actually makes me cry:

Welcome, David ! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also want to look at Atheist Writers and Atheist Musicians.

Greetings! Welcome to the site!
