The same thing as always. People who are convinced of something will condemn anyone who disagrees without thinking twice.

But...

This guy knows about climate, being a scientists who's main profession studies it, and he pretty much thinks they are all whacks!

Where does he say that specifically. He disagrees, yes. And he questions whether man is mainly responsible. And I agree, the evidence is certainly questionable. But I don't see him calling anyone anything, except mistaken.

And he is right!

And you know this for a fact? How?

Obviously you haven't been reading my posts in the last year or two.

Anyway, I am flattered however that you seem to only post rebuttals to my posts over anything else on this board!

I have more to post on this subject today, but I must make another thread since its pretty much a new subject. Waiting for your rebuttal there.

BTW - don't beat around the bush this time. I get bored hanging out in a thread waiting for you to post more opinion instead of fact.

True about the grant thing...But i feel it is more socio/economic and political than anything. People always want a "Cause" to endorse and support. This global warming horse**** provides that. A cute ploy for future political gain and public manipulation.

Interesting. As I've said before I jump on your posts because in the main I agree with you, but you make our side look bad when you throw innuendo around and call it fact. For instance, you said this man called anyone who disagreed a "whack". He didn't say that, so you are specifically wrong, and adding commentary to his statement. That makes you the one who is posting opinion and calling it fact.

The actual evidence on Global Warming is the subject of much debate, as is the evidence on Greenhouse Gasses and the so-called hole in the Ozone Layer. In each case there is some evidence that man may, and I do mean may, be a part of the problem. I think there is enough cause for concern that the scientists involved should keep up the research. I also think that on the one hand we have alarmists who scream that we need to do something yesterday or we are all doomed, and on the other are the people who shout that there is no problem at all. Both sides call each other an idiot if you don't believe them, and most of the name-calling isn't being done by the experts themselves. They just do research and post their findings.

When I asked how you knew what you knew for a fact, I wasn't referring to Global Warming itself, but to the 'fact' that people on the other side are whacks. That is indeed your opinion, but you keep posting it as fact.

I was going to make the same accusations against Tribesman in the Sotomayer thread, but he and Aramike were having so much fun throwing mud at each other I just stayed away.

You are waiting for me to post more opinion and call it fact? I find it interesting that you level the same accusation against me that everyone on these boards throws at you. And yet you never answer them. I'm still waiting for you to make a real reasoned argument on any subject you've brought up. You have never done it yet. All you ever do is call people names and challenge them to prove you wrong, and yet you never show any real evidence to support any argument you've ever made. Please begin sometime soon. Everyone is waiting.
