Not a media article, we know silly things are said there. Not someone's blog. Not a paper that says the Sun is more important than the IPCC says. Not a paper that you interpret as saying it's the Sun.

There have been plenty saying unequivocally it's not (mostly) the Sun. For example:

Recent oppositely directed trends in solar
climate forcings and the global mean surface
air temperature, Lockwood, Frohlich (2007), Proc. R. Soc. A, doi:10.1098/rspa.2007.1880

"Our results show that the observed rapid rise in
global mean temperatures seen after 1985 cannot be ascribed to solar variability, whichever of the mechanisms is invoked and no matter how much the solar variation is amplified."

So I'm looking for a paper that says unequivocally 51% or more of the warming in the last 20 years or so is due to the Sun. There have been a few, but they've all been conclusively refuted.

People keep saying "It's the Sun" with no proof. Show me some unequivocal proof.

sometimes when I go to the convenient store I get taxed on it when I buy a coffee and some cookies. so I get confused. I know prepared food is taxed such as donuts or a breakfast sandwich but what about junk food (candy, chips, cookies, nuts etc.)

sometimes I'm told that it's taxable sometimes they don't tax me.

If it helps I live in houston texas.

Thanks.

Heya,
I got a gym membership a few months ago, i started going a few times, after a short injury i have just stopped going. I keep telling myself to go back, but never really get round to it, and say "oh i will go tomorrow" etc etc. I just cant get myself to go! does anyone have any tips or motivational tips to get my *** in gear, so to speak!

I also am not very comfortable in that sort of enviroment, of everyone "looking" at you, seems very competitive, does anyone have any tips to just relax and forget about everyone else there.

Thanks.

There's this guy that i met last yr in college & we started talking & hanging out. He moved back to Jersey for school & i'm still in Pa...we still have been keeping in contact. But, sometimes he doesn't call for like 3 months & then all of a sudden call out of the blue.

In July he actually called & started calling every other day for a whole month. Then in August he called still but less frequently. When he does call sometimes he says he'll call back the next day & doesn't until like 3 days later. It pisses me off & i've already mentioned it to him.

Recently he did the same thing again "I'll call u when I get home" And didn't call back until a few days afterwards, what is Up with guys....

Why say you'll call back if you don't plan on it?????

http://www.abington.k12.pa.us/zuckar/ban_dihydrogen_monoxide.htm

today was my first day of bio, 9th grade. my teacher gave us this website to read over, and discuss on monday. isn't dihydrogen monoxide water? from the way it's described, 'Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage' If you breathe in water, you'll drown, and if you are exposed to ice for a long time, you'll get frostbite.
So... am I right?

I have a five week old kitten who was rescued from a very young boy who was going to keep her in his care. We commandeered the kitten. So now we have her and she has ringworm from her little nose to her little toes. Her belly hair has fallen out and she has bald spots on her back and sides. I am not posting this to get people to react in a sick way and tell me to put her to sleep etc, I am however posting this to ask those of you who are sane and have a good mind and heart about you to aid me in this journey to cure this little beauty of her ails. I have taken her to the vet and they have given her lime sulphur dip, medication shampoo, and glucofluvin(spelling). They did not however provide any answers as to how often I can bathe and how long to leave the shampoo on etc. I went to look up these products and most are toxic to kittens that young. I'm not asking for ideas from people I am asking for your experience and facts only please. All good people are welcome to answer. Tiahui !
