Coral Reefs Survive being Nuked and Water Temperatures of 55,000°C

[Poptech]

we have to prove that the models we code are correct before we code them in.

Now please prove climate models are correct before they are coded in.

And um, nukes have been proven to exist and work because they were tested in the real world.

If you code it into a climate model you can prove it! Are you now doubting the virtual world too?

Now please prove climate models are correct before they are coded in.

Granite can survive a nuclear blast? Or are you refering to the extent of the damage, because I take 'pulverized' to be 'becoming itty-bitty-small particles' and there are no two ways about it; kaput is kaput.

Yes, the extent of damage. Coral reefs composed of calcium carbonate sustain more physical damage as compared to (imaginary) coral reefs composed of granite. It's about the hardness of the base structure.

Ok, but the coral reefs are made of coral. So what do I do with the imaginary coral reefs now? I imagine they would also be impervious to the 0.0006 degrees rise in temperature....

Well they are nuke proof.

Well they are nuke proof.

You are just bickering for the sake of bickering. See above. Q.E.D.

That claim can be applied to MANY posters here.

Well they are nuke proof.

In the same way that humans are nuke proof. One look at the thriving population of Hiroshima today shows this to be true. Was it you that said, "No worries."?

But most do not provide the proof so readily.

Some things are more resilient than expected.

Exactly.

Zirconium blue?

Resilient like how? The ability to withstand a temperature of 55,000C and live to tell the tale and make more babies?

Are you guys going to give up on him soon or will this thread go on for 15 pages, CT forum thread/DOC style?

OMG! Cars "survive" being sunk! And barges! And giant concrete blocks!

I am done here. I thought that http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=4848833#post4848833 was a nice conclusion with some heartfelt goodbye's after that

Wow. You really have severe reading comprehension problems, don't you?

From the very same paper that you just quoted:




So much for that fail of yours.

As for your other fail, i.e., your fallacies regarding the associations between this and AGW, this is also addressed in the very same paper:





So much for that fail of yours.

Do you have any more fail?

If I vote yes, and I'm right, do I win the million?
