    This is no more silly than claiming man’s miniscule addition to a minor trace gas drives our entire planet’s climate. In fact, I find the hypothesis of panspermia more plausible than AGW.

      What is really silly is how some people are incapable of understanding a simple notion like: It’s not how small you are but what you’re capable of doing that counts.

      Care to put a drop of nerve gas on your skin gator? It should cure your simplistic thinking.

    Gator,

    YOu really need to explain this to this idiot scientists , Lindzen, Spencer, Christie and others of their ilk who foolishly still ascribe to this crazy theory of CO2 having an effect on the temperature of the planet. I even read Spencer telling people to stop showing him the truth

    Unquestionable nutcase this Arrhenius. Amazingly his name keeps popping up in the arguments from those in today’s AGW cult.

    • Grumpy Grampy ;) says:

      It was shown to be a fantasy when he first proposed it and it is still a fantasy today. It was basically ignored until Revelle used it to “Scare” up funding for his research projects.

    • Tony Duncan says:

      So Steve do you also believe that there is no such thing as the greenhouse effect and CO2 has not impact at all on temperature on the planet?
      If so why are you not attacking all the skeptic (I mean the few ) climate scientists who still believe this garbage?
      I just LOVE that no one will contradict the most irrational statements on this blog.
      Steve could you do me a favor and say that the triple point of H20 is 0°C at ambient atmospheric pressure, just so we can test this hypothesis?

      • Watch out for passing comets.

        “I just LOVE that no one will contradict the most irrational statements on this blog.

        Tony, you just gave me a wicked idea. Perhaps one of those evil alaaaaaaaarmists from skepticalscience.com can masquerade as a ‘skeptic’ on this site and post ridiculous arguments.

        That would be rather entertaining and would also keep SkS busy writing rebuttals to their own fabrications. 🙂

    Steve,

    and what about that other idiot, Einstein, who refused to accept the reality of quantum mechanics til his grave. I mean he had no scientific or mathematical argument against QM and yet he would never believe the inescapable conclusion.
    And would you mind telling me who YOUR favorite scientists were at the end of the 19 century and we can discuss what stupid beliefs they held.

  5. Ill wind blowing says:

    The author of Sherlock Holmes was an idiot. Please ask me why. Oh puuuuuuhleeese ask me why. Especially if you like his work or respect the man.

    • Oh gosh, I can’t wait to hear you tell us about Doyle’s belief in the occult. What a terrible shock that will be! To think that Sherlock Holmes wasn’t even a real person. Who would propose otherwise? Well, who?

      • Grumpy Grampy ;) says:

        You mean he was not?
        That would be like claiming Ill Wind is not real either!

      • You’d almost think that IWB thought that Doyle was being reverent and sincere when he wrote about a coke-addled logician. Next, IWB will be babbling on about how Lovecraft was a cold & rational person who wrote the Cthulu mythos for entertainment and how all of us missed that one too.

        It’s amazing how much stuff that people who aren’t IWB just flat don’t get. We’re so off the wall and ill-informed that even when we accurately predict her bafflingly daft mental turbidity it simply doesn’t register.

        Solipsism. 🙂

    I said the author, not the character, of Sherlock Holmes.

    Bottom line is; Steve’s silly ad hominem attack against what’s his name doesn’t compare to a more appropriate attack on the Prince of ‘Skeptics’. You know, that buffoon who invented a ‘cure’ for half a dozen diseases-including the one he still suffers from.

  7. Tony Duncan says:

    Steve,

    I LOVE this. I recently read a critique of some anti global warming guy, and part of the reason for dismissing what he wrote was that he believed in panspermia!

    and I while I don’t think it is very likely, it is conceivable that life did not originate on earth and that organic forms can survive for thousands over even millions of years in space and still be viable.

    But of course you are right. Arrhenius was a total idiot who came up with this bizarre concept of acids and bases. I mean WHAT practical use has that been over the last century. And then having an equation named after him, pure politics I am sure.

    Can again, please provide your favorite late 19th century scientist so we can see if any of his ideas seem stupid today.

    …but wait — there’s more:
    Growth of Children Perfected by Electricity.
    A remarkable experiment has been carried out in one of the public schools of Stockholm, whereby the mental and physical growth of children has been greatly stimulated by electricity. The experiment was made at the suggestion of the distinguished scientist, Professor Svante Arrhenius, who recently advanced the interesting theory that life was spread through the universe by germs driven by the force of light from one star to another.”
