  1. Ware RCV is a false solution, denies equality.

  3. Say "global heating", not "climate change". When you say "climate change", that plays into the hands of the enemy. He says, "climate changes all the time", and so on.

  4.  @godfreypigott  Saying "global heating" is in no way avoiding facts and it conveys the same facts as "climate change" does and more. The latter plays into the enemy's rhetorical response because it is insufficiently specific and precise, heating being the core of the problem, and because it invites the response "climate changes all the time", which is factually true but observing that is a distraction from the issue of heating.

  5.  @godfreypigott  Heating is the core of the problem. In the early part of the warming, the ocean could absorb much of the heat, because the specific heat of water is much higher than that of air. But no longer.

  6. An electron has spin, but I'm pretty sure the electric field does not have spin.

  8. Has the same problem as FPtP. What about a bidding system where you have to use a point when you oppose a candidate but it costs nothing to support a candidate?

  9. Exactly!

  11. The Newtonian view says that objects have weight. That is the force on them due to gravity. At a given location on the surface of the Earth, resting on the surface, a more massive object will have more of this "weight" as you could measure with for example a spring scale. The Einsteinian view says that what the spring scale is measuring is the f = ma from the surface of the Earth accelerating upward against the masses, relative to a geodesic.

  12. That's explained by Maxwell's equations.

  15.    Situations where force is observed involve bosons. But I guess you are right that no one has "explained" force. The germ theory explains disease by describing the action of gross objects, similar to what we encounter in our daily lives. It's as easy to imagine a bacterium as it is to think about a wolf. The explanation taps into an hierarchy of levels of understanding. Disease is a deviation from the normal and healthy operation of the body. We can connect that deviation to the action of the germs. The diseased individual and the germs also, we can speak of in terms of cell biology. We can break that down further and talk about the action of the DNA in the cell nucleus and the RNA and the rhibosomes and the proteins. In understanding what the cell wall and cell membrane do, we get down to the molecular level. But even this far down, there isn't much reference to quantum physics; chemistry was worked out before it was explained. If we keep crawling down the hierarchy, we'll get to where the forces arise that move the components of the bacterium from one position to another as necessary for their biotic functioning, and we will have reached the end of the rope of explanation, because we have none for the forces.
