Yes, me and my speed-typing - and laziness to correct the typos...

Corrected. A little bit at least. God deserves a spanking for having given man the ability to be lazy. He could have formed the perfect universe, the happy human being, the flawless design of all and everything, and all genes having an inbuilt feature to make complex multi-cell organisms pray loyally three times every day. But no, somebody knew it better up there...

Sure it's getting hotter there's no doubt in my mind about that. Heck I remember trying to get to the edge of a glacier in Greenland by boat. Chart said it was there in 1943 but by 1981 it had receded something like 15 miles or more already. Needless to say if we proceeded further we would have been in uncharted waters, so we didn't risk going any further.

If it is something man can control then when leadership sets the example and begins to take this seriously they will have my attention. What pisses me off more than anything is the only thing I have seen global warming political advocates do is raise my taxes, all the other hypocritical hucksters do is make money off it. Scientists? they scramble around saying what it takes to get their grant money so they can have their arctic expeditions and their names in some scientific journal. It seems to me the most time and effort spent is on what matters most to everyone, that is who will get the credit for saving Rome while Rome burns.

But as someone said earlier I think too there more pressing problems at hand.

My two favorite people in the world are loggers and fishermen, neither can understand when it's gone it's gone, want to fix global climate change plant more trees, stop the destruction of the amazon rain forest and quit using our oceans as toilets.

Maybe this is the reason for the Texas Drought of double-naught-11?

Quote:

Tucked between treatises on algae and prehistoric turquoise beads, the study on page 460 of a long-ago issue of the U.S. journal Science drew little attention. "I don't think there were any newspaper articles about it or anything like that," the author recalls. But the headline on the 1975 report was bold: "Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?" And this article that coined the term may have marked the last time a mention of "global warming" didn't set off an instant outcry of angry denial.

Anyone heard of this "global warming" thing before?

I'm not sure what it is, but I hear it's become something quite trendy and fashionable among all those lefties in NY.

That depends if it's summer or not.

Rockstar · 09-25-11, 10:49 AM

OK ya got me, I admit. I'm not a fan of the global warming hype, big whoop, so shave my head, take away my birthday and send me to a big white one.

But why does that stop anyone who thinks this global warming is attributed to man from fixing it? All I hear is squabbling who is right and who is wrong. So is it just about 'see I told ya so?' Alright ya told me so! I was wrong you were right. You have your data it's been shoved in my face for several years now. NOW GO FIX IT, let the global cooling begin!

In the mid '70's I was under the impression headlines were speaking of melting the polar caps to prevent the impending global ice age. Maybe that's what world governments did at the behest of science! Now look where were heading. <hehe>. Should have just left things alone.

I would say it's an American allergy to catastrophic chicken little claims of a secular apocalypse based on nebulous science.

In any case, it's not a purely American sentiment, as there are plenty of polls in the UK as well that show the people aren't buying it there either.

MH · 09-25-11, 11:00 AM

Why its such political issue in USA just is beyond me.
God create planet earth for man therefore only him can decide when to fry us?

It's not the nebulous Science that gets me, it's the bad science. Any small tenuous bit of data that supports it - "Look, global warming is happening...". Any equally small, equally tenuous bit of data against - "It's just a statistical outlier and doesn't mean a thing." That is just bad science regardless of whatever the facts are.

P.S. Has anyone else noticed how it went from 'global warming' to 'climate change' as soon as the fact the planet wasn't significantly warming up was pointed out?
