    The long way around answering "no" to my questions.

    We're right back to Billy not understanding (or pretending to not understand) the concepts "hypothesis" and "conclusion," and what happens between the two when following the scientific method.

    When I ask for the specifics of everything that should follow the hypothesis -- the predicting, experimenting, testing and analyzing, Billy provides me instead with everything that he led to the hypothesis. 

  2. Just checking in. It's been a while. Any real science yet? Any answers to my questions? You know, the ones where I asked to see the details of just one single climate doom model following the scientific method to the letter? Hypothesis, experimenting, testing, results, reproducibility, repeatability, well-defined terms and conditions of the experiment's duration, falsifiability, etc., etc.?

    No? That's what I thought.

    Why "coordinated national" voter fraud? Is that all that they're looking for? They're okay with voter fraud on a less-than-national level? In Trump's criticisms of mass-mail voting, and his suspicions of Democrats' motivations, did he specify that he thought that it would only happen on a nationally coordinated level?

  4. Wahoo! The revival of Greta!

    The leftist media had spent all of that time and effort shoving Greta in our faces, trying to make her influential, but then the damned Covid ended all of that. Solution? Let's have Greta be an expert on Covid! Fuck yeah!

    Which policies will she support? Which punishments? How have we stolen her childhood and her dreams this time? By not wearing ineffective masks early enough? By not obeying soon enough? How daaaare you. You must bend the knee.

    Beyond parody: CNN taps Greta Thunberg for expert coronavirus panel

    The brave, hard-hitting journalists over at CNN are hosting a town hall Thursday evening on Coronavirus: Facts and Fears. Our First Amendment warriors are only bringing viewers the best of experts, such as former CDC Director Richard Besser, former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and … teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg.
  5. Did the manmade global warming climate change crisis emergency cause the coronavirus? I'm starting to hear that it did. The virus briefly distracted lefties from salivating over climate doom, but now they're beginning to remember to keep their focus, and to link anything bad to climate doom. How soon will the idea that the virus was caused by AGW become a "consensus" "settled science" "fact"?

  6. Hey, did Billy get fed up with his own hypocrisy and decide to start walking the walk instead of just talking the talk? Is that why he no longer has an online presence? Is he off the grid, living in a Kaczynski shack that he constructed only from naturally-fallen timbers, gathering roots and berries while writing his manifesto using handmade ink and paper?

  7. There's a new girl in the climate doom propaganda game.

    YouTuber campaigns against ‘climate alarmism,’ drawing comparisons to Greta Thunberg

    For climate skeptics, it’s hard to compete with the youthful appeal of global phenomenon Greta Thunberg. But one U.S. think tank hopes it’s found an answer: the anti-Greta.

    Naomi Seibt is a 19-year-old German who, like Greta, is blond, eloquent and

    Do a search for "Naomi vs Greta." What a contrast in the left media's style of coverage of Naomi versus that of Greta. Hilarious.

  8. Adams's comments on the stock scam are right on. And notice how uninterested Billy and Brad are in our catching them performing the scam. I pointed out Brad's stupid attempt to run two separate hypotheses at the same time, and to treat them as one,  thus eliminating falsifiability. No comment from Brad or Billy about that. You'd think that people who love science as much as Brad and Billy claim to would be eager to address such criticisms, and knock them down immediately. But, no, our little activists think that ignoring the criticism will make it go away. Just keep running the scam.

  9. !Does Billy still not understand the difference between the words "hypothesize" and "predict"?

    Anyway, it appears that Billy didn't notice or comprehend the final few words in Ellen's comment. The part about scrambling.

    See, we're back to the importance of the questions that I've asked. Details. Ahead of results being observed.

    "Arrehenius didn’t get every detail right, but his argument has proven to be pretty sound."

    Pretty sound. Which details didn't he get right? What were the specific conditions of falsifiability?

    Did he also make contrary predictions? Ones which have been falsified?

    And when did the settled science consensus scientists embrace the idea? Where are their predictions? Details of their criteria?

    I'm asking here about actual predictions, not cherry picked speculations...not, "it might cause more storms but with lesser intensity, or it might cause fewer storms with greater intensity, or neither, or..."

    Oh no! The Coin Rotation “Paradox” 😆

    Indeed.

    From the wiki page that Merlin posted:

    Quote

    The coin rotation paradox is the counter-intuitive observation...

    Counter-intuitive to whom? Counter-intuitive to the visuospatially and mechanically inept, and therefore to everyone?

    Apparently Merlin finds it paradoxical. Not surprising.
