Hmm.... If it is confirmed that this star is from another galaxy, then it might be interesting to see if there are any significant differences in the isotopic ratios - compared to 'local' stars?
It might shed light on galaxy formation and composition.

Anyone catch the debate? Any comments?

Beelzebub, this is getting reduced to semantics now, I'm a bit tired of it, so I'm leaving it here. If I say I don't believe something, it doesn't mean I believe the opposite. I would have thought I'd made that crystal clear now. My point about the ice cores is that we are being asked to accept tha...

I noticed that you didn't actually answer my question! ???? I thought I made it perfectly clear. Are you just after a yes or no? You asked "Do you actually think that the rise in CO2 levels is just coincidental to the rise in global temperatures?" I think we don't know, nothing's proved either way....

I really don't understand your position here. Do you actually think that the rise in CO 2 levels is just coincidental to the rise in global temperatures? I think it's not proved. And what I object to is being regarded as some kind of heretic for not believing it. ( usually by people who haven't eve...

What is your source? I see lots of assrtions, but little in the way of referemces. Here are the facts - CO2 levels have been rising since the 18th century! Yes, but "rising" doesn't say how much, does it? I said the rise was insignificant. Here is the graph of human production of CO2 over the same ...

Beelzebub, you've dashed my hopes. You were so confident, I thought you must have something. What you describe is warming. No argument there. And you describe a rise in CO2. No problem. What you've established is that CO2 has risen, and temperatures have risen. That's it. Where's the causal link? T...

Guys, this is just an argument from authority! Who cares what anyone's opinion is? What matters are the observed facts! - and those strongly indicate human causality in global warming. At last. Someone who knows what facts strongly indicate that global warming has a human cause. You're just the per...

Oh, sorry chaps
Carry on!

Guys, this is just an argument from authority! Who cares what anyone's opinion is? What matters are the observed facts! - and those strongly indicate human causality in global warming. I did notice that Jack Schmidt claims (2008) that there is "current cooling" - when all the stats indicate otherwis...

It's a bit like leaving a friends house, all smiles and jokes and everyone hale and hearty, only to return a couple of days later to see the coffin coming out the front door :( Is RD really cognisant with what has gone on there? Anyway, hello everyone! I hope this new forum continues in the best tra...
