Not at all. I believe the climate has changed previously and will always change going forward. I just don't have the delusional view that man controls the climate. What temperature forecast reduction are they hoping Kyoto 2 will deliver again? i'll add it to the list of all the other dud predictions.

Kudos to you. By far the most intelligent post from a believer in climate change I have seen on demonland, The sattelites measure radiance not temperature. But they are directly related. And the point still stands. No increase in radiance wavelength bands in the atmosphere means there can be no global warming. Do you think it appropriate that NOAA wont release their raw data, then manipulated data showing the hottest year ever and method for achieving it?

Do you also agree NOAA should be transparent with their (US tax payer funded) data?

Hardtack - do you think it is an inditement on Essendon that they won't provide their records or will you give them the benefit of the doubt?

Choke - NOAA are not advertising on their website or anywhere else that they refuse to disclose their methodology or data in a transparent way, even to congress, despite being publicly funded. I would love to see their response as well.

I don't need a response. The silence is deafening.

So 2015 is the hottest year on record? Announced just before the Paris convention... NOAA came up with this scare. The satellite data that accurately measures the atmospheric global temperature shows no statistical warning for 18 years (and 9 months). Of course if there is no atmospheric warming there can be no global warming. (PM me if you don't understand the basic physics) But NOAA has come up with a "new" formula that ignores the accurate and unaltered atmosphere figures, relies on temperature stations on the ground, that are subject to the moving of weather stations, increased and decreased concrete surroundings, sample ocean scooping's, from ocean liners and homogenization of data. And of course nobody is privy to how the data is manipulated. Just so we are clear: -Satellite data uses infrared technology across the atmosphere and is entirely accurate - NOAA's "new" global temperature findings use man made weather stations and a raft of other inaccurate temperature gages. Then they "adjust" them and then they come up with the hottest year on record, just in time for the Paris convention. Now NOAA is in a world of hurt because congress has requested the raw data, adjusted data and method of manipulation of data that they used to claim the hottest year on record. But of course NOAA wont release it, at least this side of the Paris convention. Are there any on here that argue Essendon should be hit with the full force of the law for not providing their body of evidence on allegedly drugging 40 players but think it is fine that that NOAA wont supply their data that effects the world policy and could potentially leave millions in poverty?

It's funny I get sh1tty when posters criticize McKenzie for his disposal or Watts for his effort and the list could go on. I see our players in a glass full kind of way. We get a player who is a combination of Jonathan Brown and Wayne Carey and I am worried his kick isn't penetrating enough. It's tough being a Melbourne supporter.

Does he have speed issues? I'm pretty sure I read over the pre-season he is in the top 3 over 20m at the club.

That's a shame because I had some nice mares waiting for Odwyer and Tingay

The first highlights package I saw left me uninspired. Did not hit a target, Not sure who put it together like that and what the motives were.

Thanks PaulRB. He hits more targets in that one than any other of the highlights I have seen.

I have just watched again and he doesn't hit a target by foot in that footage bar kicking goals. I have no doubt he is a gun, however, I just haven't seen him hit targets by foot in the limited footage I have seen and the above link doesn't disprove that.

How many leading goal kicking tittles and best and fairest's has McCartin won at Casey in the VFL playing against men?

And early draft picks...

No we would pass on Cook because he was a tall. We probably end up with Gysberts.

Everyone seems to rate Petracca highly. I can only go by the limited vision I have seen in the available clips. Looks big bodied, aggressive and seems find his own footy but I haven't seen him hit too many targets. Can anyone confirm he is at least reasonable by hand and foot?
