    Let's see, little pockets of green surrounded by blue. Do you really need to go pixel by pixel and do a count? It's very obvious by looking at it that blue is in much greater quantity than green.

    Yes, one can clearly see the little pockets of green. The entirety of the Atlantic Ocean, a thick Pacific band stretching from South America throughout the Pacific Rim, a good part of the body from below and east of Africa to Australia, and encasing a good chunk around the southern part of S. America.

    Sounds like a couple of "little pockets" to me.:D

    Whomever feels like figuring the percentage of blue to green in that map. Feel free, so this useless discussion ends ;). If you go thru the archive on the site, you can go back to 1999 and (shockingly) see very similar maps. ;)

    Yes, but what did it look like in 1906?

    I agree. It appears that the green and blue are roughly the same in total area.

    Very true. 1906 is when the Earth was in perfect balance. I keep forgetting this. Thanks for reminding me! ;)

    So are we going by someone's arbitrary decision of when to switch from green to blue pixils when creating a map rather than doing a mean average of temperature across the globe?

    Counting pixels and making models to fit a predetermined agenda is science. Geesh.

    That's not what they taught us at the university I went too.

    You must not have been paying attention. Models are created based on our limited understanding of things. You can cram a circle into a square hole but that doesn't make the square a circle.

    Science then assumes that since the model fits the known information we can extrapolate it into unknown information.

    And suddenly the World Trade Center is frozen like an icicle.

    What about 1806? How about 2,000 BC? Or was the earth invented in 1906?

    That is correct... But God did not make weather until 1906.

    BTW, I took the time to capitalize the "G" in God for you.

    Joking aside, I'm trying to do my own personal research into evolution. Scientists basically have a general consesus that a meteor hit us 60 million years ago...wiping away most life forms, except those that could live underground and in the waters.

    Given as many as 1/2 species of the planet died, and the creatures that lived where very unhuman-like...my minds trying to figure out the coarse of evolution that's suggested. I tend to think if we're talking about 6 billion years...evolution is a reasonable assessment. But 60 million years from underground mammals...hmmm. I'll have to research that to come up with any conclusion.

    So there you go; you are the retarded offspring of 5 monkeys having butt-sex with a fish squirrel.

    I thought that one happened 360 million years ago, if you are referring to the one that knocked out the dinosaurs.
