[quote who="Kantok" reply="1518" id="3425794"]Brad's point is a simple one. For CO2 to be the primary driver of climate change it can't be moving in the opposite direction of temperature on the graph he linked. If CO2 really is primary it's not possible for CO2 to be going up while temperature goes down. What's more, temperature would follow CO2, not vice versa, if CO2 were the primary driver. None of that denies that the climate changes, than man is re

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1513" id="3425765"]Take a look at how temperatures go back down BEFORE CO2 levels go down.[/quote] It is irrelevant here, as we want to find out what causes temp to go up (or CO2 to go up). BTW this graph does not prove that CO2 is following the rise of temperature, just check the first major event, there the red line starts increasing first.. And the others are simultaneous, maybe the blue is sometimes earlier, other times not. I wanted to

You two are so funny I can't stop laughing. Have fun with this thread. I'm out.

[quote who="Hankers" reply="1505" id="3425709"]You are continuing to beat a dead horse with this.[/quote] It is not (completely) true, he wants to find out why denialists think the way they do about the things he mentioned. TBH I am also curious.

[quote who="Kantok" reply="1502" id="3425678"]To me it seems like you are smug and pompous and completely insecure in what you believe. Those evil "denialists" have offered their reasoning over and over and over. With links as support, logical discussion and attempts to put up with smug bullshit like this. But you can't say "I think they're wrong and here's why" or "we'll just have to agree to disagree". You have to say trite crap like this. Clearly anyone who doesn't beli

Haven't seen that one yet but if its worse then the pulsar then ugh.[/quote] It is a bright thing that randomly moves around the map, it is so bright and annoying I am glad none of my real battles were ever fought in a gravity well it was currently in.. Zooming in is almost impossible..

I think gamma ray burst is more of a problem..

It is an interesting app, though I hope it does NOT save the things I write in it.. it says I have strong passwords, good to know. Oh, it does not even know basic Hungarian words (like the one meaning christmas), so much failure this program is :P :P

[quote who="cde8" reply="1498" id="3425607"]The earth has definitely had temperature changes over the past few billion years, but we've seen almost a full degree increase since 1900. Oh, No! A single degree in one hundred years?!?! Yeah, it's a big deal. You see, the earth's natural flux happens over hundreds of thousands of years.. We've done quite a bit in just one hundred years (as evidenced by Maldives and Venice, to just name two), and the rate of increase per decade just

1. in Hungary summers are becoming dryer, more droughts, less and less rain events but more and more intensive ones, winters that are becoming warmer, with shorter snow coverage, when I was a child it used to havesnow every year, but nowadays it is becoming very rare. Very hot summers after 2000 in every year I guess.. 2a. I am convinced because what I see around me totally fits this, and the DATA shows this as well, no matter what people want to say how fake or something those data a

[quote who="WOEaintME" reply="44" id="3425354"]I'm not sure about rotating turrets since Sins is generally played from a distance too far to make turrets a common sight[/quote] I think this could be changed.. With somehow making "melee" combat a viable thing in Sins, like in the new Star Wars movies when the two ships are next to each other and firing like crazy.

Thank you for your answer, good to know these.

Can anyone help me on this? I am searching the internets and have not found anything useful, it is not featured in the ship counter tables if I remember correctly. What are the modifiers of point defense platforms against ship types? I noticed it is doing great against light frigates and is poor against corvettes and scouts. Is it a "long range frigate" type, or has it's own unique modifiers? And what about the TEC hangar defense? Is it an anti-fighter platform when you pu

[quote who="furyofthestars" reply="12" id="3425187"]I'm just thinking that it'd make more sense (with the way I'm looking at it) to have the numbers between Greenhouse and Ferrus swapped.[/quote] Maybe. But if Greenhouse is really like Venus, higher pop than 70 would be ridiculous.

[quote who="MayallCommunion" reply="14" id="3425137"]Should only be allowed to jump into friendly territory[/quote] Yes, as Vasari is meant to be a defensive and guerilla faction, not someone who can easily face both TEC and Advent at once..

[quote who="Ryat" reply="7" id="3425141"]Even the concept of Jungle Planet can mean a lower population than Ferrus.[/quote] I don't share your view on this. A jungle planet would mean an easily habitable surface unless the Ferrus one.. With oxygen, plants, life and stuff.. I think around 170-240 population would be a credible population for a jungle world while the current 140 is a bit high for a Ferrus one.

[quote who="furyofthestars" reply="4" id="3425052"]I would certainly say the texture is the problem, because that looks pretty green to me.[/quote] There are greenish igneous rocks.. I don't really think those are forests. [quote who="MayallCommunion" reply="5" id="3425138"]I think Greenhouse in this game means Jungle Planet.[/quote] Then where are the jungles? :D All I see is barren deserts and lifeless places everywhere.

I don't know what would be better, maybe some kind of Keynesian state controlled capitalism that broke up with this money worshipping and with weaker globalisation?

[quote who="Kantok" reply="125" id="3424549"]It's not in the interest of large corporations whether or not Indonesian people are wealthy. It is in the interest of corporations to turn a profit and do right by their shareholders, while obeying the law. Given that, if Indonesia, as your example, has a solid government and a desire to attract corporations they can do so. By doing so they bring money into their country via salaries, tax revenue and supporting local infrastructure required for

[quote who="GeomanNL" reply="118" id="3424507"]I think the gap between rich and poor countries is slowly disappearing.[/quote] Really? To me it seems to be the opposite.. True, there are many countries that have a quickly increasing economy and quality of life, but it is not true for every poor country.. Just look at Africa.

[quote]One of the new features is the random event of the Mad Dark Fleet Titan rampaging from Planet to Planet, if the Dark Fleet has caught up or if newer titans are being effected I think its pretty good to assume that the enemy is close.[/quote] Without this we know the enemy is close, that's why the Vasari is planning to escape from this galaxy, but they won't be successful. We had dark fleet in original Sins as well, I don't really think this is much different
