What's real?
But for the record, I do believe that global warming is real.
After the weird mish mash up there I'm confused. Just what do you think is "real" about global warming?

The science is quite clear regarding inevitable rise in sea levels over the next century. The stats line up, in other words.
Knowing their knack for investing, I think that Republicans who publicly deny global warming are even now buying up the real estate where the sea levels will rise to.

You don't have a "shared subjective experience". You each have your own individual subjective experiences. As long as your individual experiences disagree with reality, you pretend you're all together but all you really share is a hatred for reality.

Re: It's The Methane,Stupid
You can claim to know this but I disagree with your grasp of the situation.
1) You have no belief nor subjective evidence of the Holy Spirit. Yet the Holy Spirit *is* reality. Not that you will ever see it.
2) Perhaps you can logically argue that we all have our own experience...which is true, but the fact that so many of our experiences are very similar in detail...down to the little things...is to me subjective evidence. We dont simply internalize and repeat each others stories...we have our own and they are external experience rather than internal imagination. But again....you likely refuse to accept nor understand.
As long as your individual experiences disagree with reality, you pretend you're all together but all you really share is a hatred for reality.
This is one of the most blatant and ignorant statements that you have ever said. Just because your conclusions were what they were is in no way indicative that *you* understand reality.

I have as much "subjective experience" of the Holy Spirit as you do.
Phat writes:

The fact is that they're not. You try to cobble them together to resemble each other after the fact.
Phat writes:

I refuse to jump to conclusions like you do.

And yet you have no argument against it. All you have is denial.

If that were true Phat you would be able to show verifiable evidence of its existence but neither you or anyone else has ever been able to do so!
And THAT is reality!

You seem to be unable to understand what evidence is.

Unfortunately Phat you are just showing your willful disregard for reality when you say something as silly as that.

What does any of your BS have to do with the topic?

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy
The reason that we have the scientific method is because common sense isn't reliable. -- Taq

Re: It's The Methane,Stupid
You are right---it doesn't. I went off topic right after Nosy Ned.
My apologies.We were discussing methane and permafrost melt, which is somewhat on topic.
Does our resident dragonfly expert have anything to add regarding perhaps dead bugs, microbes and what is found deep in the earths crust?
Here is where we went off course. Message 15

Re: Implications In Human Development?
On a somewhat related topic, I read that because of global warming the arctic permafrost is melting and potentially releasing lots of previously frozen virus, bacteria, and ancient goop that could infect living things again. Is this in any way true?
This is a different topic. The Siljan crater was formed about 360 million years ago, during the Devonian period; at that time what is now Sweden was in the tropics, not in the Arctic.
