Like I said I was bored.Flat Earth is boring. Why not just toss in abortion, evolution, politics and gun rights?
On second thought, what is your favorite kind of pizza? I love mushroom and a fried egg on mine.

Man I love the Hawaiian pizza from Poppa Johns.Pepperoni, hamburger, green peppers and onions.
Pineapple NEVER belongs on pizza! Not even in Hawaii.
Oh, and the earth is a cube.
Seriously? Nobody is even gunna answer? I say it's an interesting topic that isn't near as crazy as people act.
Somehow this doesn’t surprise me.

My kids love chasing lizards. We have snakes in our yard from time to time.Pizza is boring. Any other reptile lovers on this board?
I bet he doesn’t believe scientists about man’s impact on global warming, either...
There you go again!!!! HahahahahaI know that the OP question is designed to get people to think critically about something that is often assumed, but it seems like there are better ones to choose. Like, what is beyond the edge of the universe, or is there a smallest particle? Will Roy ever use all his timeouts?
Fried egg?? interesting..........Flat Earth is boring. Why not just toss in abortion, evolution, politics and gun rights?

Nope I believe the scientists that say man doesn't impact it. I also can't believe someone as "intelligent" as you believes a scientist can predict a temperature rise over 100 years away when they can't predict tomorrow's weather. As for flat earth listen to the theories and stop being a douche. I never said I believe the earth is flat I said some of the things they say about it is quite interesting.
That's what I was thinkingThis thread is "heating up."
As a scientist, I will point out the inability to predict tomorrow's weather has zero to do with climate forecasting.
I have read some scientists' views that global warming is not mostly due to man's impact, but there is certainly more evidence to the contrary (97% of all papers from 2000-2013 to be exact). That's not to say there aren't some interesting facts supporting your views: like there was likely 5 times more CO2 in the atmosphere at a time when glaciers dominated the Earth 400 million years ago. There is also evidence that solar cycles (whatever the hell those are) are a pretty important natural driver of climate change. No one is denying that natural forces aren't a major part of this, but the CO2 correlation and modelling is just too convincing for me at this point. I don't see the harm of trying to reduce emissions as much a possible without straining the economy. Money will always come first with human beings, so we need to operate within that paradigm. Environmentalism can be profitable.

That's certainly a fair take on that 97% stat. He is definitely assuming too much.That 97% number gets thrown out way too loosely. What is that even referencing? Here is an excerpt from Forbes which goes into more details of this misleading figure.
One of the main papers behind the 97 percent claim is authored by John Cook, who runs the popular website SkepticalScience.com, a virtual encyclopedia of arguments trying to defend predictions of catastrophic climate change from all challenges.
Here is Cook’s summary of his paper: “Cook et al. (2013) found that over 97 percent [of papers he surveyed] endorsed the view that the Earth is warming up and human emissions of greenhouse gases are the main cause.”
This is a fairly clear statement—97 percent of the papers surveyed endorsed the view that man-made greenhouse gases were the main cause—main in common usage meaning more than 50 percent.
But even a quick scan of the paper reveals that this is not the case. Cook is able to demonstrate only that a relative handful endorse “the view that the Earth is warming up and human emissions of greenhouse gases are the main cause.” Cook calls this “explicit endorsement with quantification” (quantification meaning 50 percent or more). The problem is, only a small percentage of the papers fall into this category; Cook does not say what percentage, but when the study was publicly challenged by economist David Friedman, one observer calculated that only 1.6 percent explicitly stated that man-made greenhouse gases caused at least 50 percent of global warming.
Where did most of the 97 percent come from, then? Cook had created a category called “explicit endorsement without quantification”—that is, papers in which the author, by Cook’s admission, did not say whether 1 percent or 50 percent or 100 percent of the warming was caused by man. He had also created a category called “implicit endorsement,” for papers that imply (but don’t say) that there is some man-made global warming and don’t quantify it. In other words, he created two categories that he labeled as endorsing a view that they most certainly didn’t.
The 97 percent claim is a deliberate misrepresentation designed to intimidate the public—and numerous scientists whose papers were classified by Cook protested:
"Cook survey included 10 of my 122 eligible papers. 5/10 were rated incorrectly. 4/5 were rated as endorse rather than neutral.” —Dr. Richard Tol;
“That is not an accurate representation of my paper . . .” —Dr. Craig Idso
“Nope . . . it is not an accurate representation.” —Dr. Nir Shaviv
“Cook et al. (2013) is based on a strawman argument . . .” —Dr. Nicola Scafetta
Think about how many times you hear that 97 percent or some similar figure thrown around. It’s based on crude manipulation propagated by people whose ideological agenda it serves. It is a license to intimidate.
Fried eggs don’t belong on a pizza or a hamburgerFried egg?? interesting..........
Anybody believe in ghost?
Hahaha, let me rephrase that to supernatural or paranormal types and not the movie.Not really. I was never a big Swayze guy.
Fried eggs don’t belong on a pizza or a hamburger
As a physicist, I have different reactions to these two questions.Like, what is beyond the edge of the universe, or is there a smallest particle?
