If you mean in response to someone and not in the OP, nobody I really consider respectable. The smart people on the forum are smart enough (or are just good at semantics and picking apart what people say, freaking lawyers :P) that they can discuss things without copy/pasta-ing links and bolding what they feel is relevant.

Peter and Whale, due to their respective (soon to be) professions, do not need to rely on the internets for discourse. Tallen is the same way (though cooking doesn't come up much for some reason) in that he's practically wikipedia.ru with everything he knows about Russia.

58 and BEAUTIFUL.

You would be quick to judge. Why you gotta act all belligerent 'n shtuff? But no, I'm willing to be he means "reliable" as it means to any scientific publication: peer edited and reviewed, scholarly work done by a professional in that field (unlike that silly website with 31,000 scientists who don't believe climate change, only a fraction of a percentage of whom are actually climatologists), in a scholarly journal.

Originally posted by Peter Parker Conveniently there is a pretty good source: the various IPCC reports.  Some politics has crept in, but they remain (as far as I know) the single most comprehensive evaluation of all relevant science on the subject.  They aren't easy to read, but they are not impossible to read either.  And they are a free download, which is convenient.

I was thinking about looking into those but had some concerns.






Since you seem to have experience with them I will direct this question to you.  (Peter Parker)






Do they have pictures?

Actually, the internet was invented by Sir Timothy Berners Lee. :nododgynecessary:

Also, am I missing something, as it seems to be working pretty freakin' awesome for the world.

I've been researching alternative energy sources for my house. Not so much as a "save the planet" thing, more as a "save my wallet" type thing.

It seems, with only a little bit of internet instruction, you can build your own solar panels for about $25-$30 each, using chipped cells. The chipped cells are only about 80%-90% as efficient, but that's mostly because of lost surface area.

And you can also buy plans to convert your car to run on hydrogen for only about $20!
