  • Cal, the "global cooling" bullshit just has to stop. There's no comparison between the small number of predictions of "global cooling" in the 70s and the comprehensive, worldwide mountain of evidence compiled in favor of AGW theory today. None.

    You should drop that talking point. It's not a good one.

    If you refuse to accept that the scientific community overwhelmingly accepts global warming theory as real and dangerous and potentially disastrous there's no helping you. You're obviously living in your own information bubble, like many of your other anti-intellectualists on the right.

    Hope it's cozy in there.

  • Always back to Al Gore. Jesus.

    "It ggets to be a little like arguing with a guy who says we're going to hell if we don't repent now."

    No, it's not like that at all. Mounds of scientific evidence and faith-based religious fundamentalism are nothing like each other.

    I would certainly agree that it's next to pointless to argue with partisans who don't accept the science, and then claim to know what the real scientific answers are. That mostly pointless, other than to point out how ridiculous a position that is.

    It's also not that interesting to argue with you about it, since your position on pretty much everything is only giving a shit about showing off how little you give a shit. If this were the 60s, I can't imagine you'd have been for civil rights. If it were the 20s, you probably wouldn't have lifted a finger to help women vote. The only thing that seems to upset you is people who identify problems with the status quo.

    In this case, you're mad about people who want to do something about pollution. You just throw up your hands. This is your "position."

    Awesome.

    Let me quote a couple famous scientists from the Blazing Saddles institute.

    "A man drinks like that and don't eat; he's gonna die!"

    "When?"

    But yes it's the same old things.

    How serious is it?

    What are all the causes?

    How long do we have before it's too late?

    How much is anyone willing to sacrifice to avert the natural disaster?

    But I haven't heard anything new so far.

    But I understand you're at least partially serious about the threat besides the fact you love to bicker.

    WSS

  • There are answers to all of those questions, of course. And we've been through them all before. Ad naseum.

    The most urgent reason to take action is because there's a small possibility of some really, really bad things happening. It may only be a 3-5 percent chance, but this is why people have fire insurance and flood insurance and life insurance - to protect against the possibility of catastrophe. The more likely probabilities are that things will just be regular bad, or really bad.

  • For anyone trying to predict the weather, is full of it. If you dont like what you have just wait 10 minutes and it will change.

    AL Gore and the rest of his loonies are trying to pull off the biggest scam of all time all in the name of fear.

    All AlGorians like Heck can be very annoying with all of their propaganda and lies.

  • We should take action because there is a small possibility?

    POSSIBILITY? SMALL?

    Nothing to do with politics or spread the wealth or global gov?

    Nah.

    There's a small possibility we might be in a car wreck, so we should

    tax ourselves out the wazoo, give up all our wealth and civil rights and freedom,

    and never drive a car again because we're emitting co2.

    But never a word about preserving the globes rainforests.

    Nope. Not one freakin word. You see, rainforests aren't a source of tax revenue, and political power.

    You jokers WANT mmgw to be real, so it can benefit the coffers of the gov, and you want that gov

    to be a gigantic nanny state. Reward all those have nots for their Dem votes.

    And all the scientists who disagree, objectively, to this global warming scam?

    Ignore them, discredit them, ridicule them, outlaw them, outcast them.

    Why? Because you libs don't care about facts. You care about more political power for

    your Democratic (now controlled lock stock and barrel by socialists/progressives) party.

    This is America. Not going to happen.

    Like the echeck scam. Pollution! Lower exhaust limits on cars! Have gov check for bad emmisions of cars

    before they can get plates? No problem?

    50 to 100 bucks charged to the customer for 60 seconds of metering? How the hell much does that

    checker guy MAKE a freakin hour?

    Oh, the state/country needed funds for other things?

    Right. So, people rose up and put a stop to that fraud all over the country.

    MMGW is a fraud. If it's ever proven to be true, we'll all know it.

    But ONE FREAKIN TREE RING out of millions of acres of forest? You have to be kidding.

    Oh, and Algore? Brilliant? LOL. NO. He's a political con man who is heavily invested in his mmgw crap.

    Obamao ? Brilliant, eloquent, post partisan, going to bring us all together..?????? ROF,LMAO !

    Give it up. Your idealogy is your own worst enemy.

  • Vapor translation:

    "I can't handle the truth, so I'll find a movie clip to make fun of Cal"

    LOL

  • Cal, if you think the Globe is more truthful than the scientific community, then my video is warranted.

  • I'll say it again. The Globe journalist was quoting the freakin scientists.

    He gave two links to scientific sites on the subject.

    Follow the links if you can figure out how.

    The links have nothing to do with the reporter.

    The scientists have nothing to do with the reporter.

    You can't think, have no common sense, no wisdom, and you emote algorism

    like it's a cult following?

    Or what?

  • I apologize in advance, but I find it truly astounding, even after all this time, long past the day when you could write something that surprises me, where you think information comes from, how informed you think you are, and how certain you are about what you think you know. You're a definition of ignorance that walks and breathes. You're everything that's wrong with American politics stuffed into one man - mindlessly partisan, completely and utterly uninformed, easily misled and steered, full of impotent rage, and entirely unwilling and incapable of recognizing - much less processing - new information. I'm sure there are others out there like you, but I bet I could search the nation for years and still not find them.

    Cal, my man, you used to give us the results of internet polls from right-wing websites and claim that they were accurate measurements of public sentiment. Why? Because you didn't know any better. Then we explained it to you, and then you continued to use internet polls to support your argument. Because you still didn't know any better. You lack the basic mental capacity to conduct any of these discussions on an adult level. Now you give us three editorials from right-wing news organizations and claim they somehow refute global warming science. Why? Because you don't know any better about this either.

    And where did you find these three editorials? You found them on the Drudge Report, which is apparently where you get all of your news, without any sense that the Drudge Report exists to move, design - and create out of whole cloth - opinions for people like you.

    The headlines are still up there now:

    Uncertainties of 'Global Warming': Sea Level Could Rise in South, Fall in North...

    PRUDEN: Turn out the lights, the party's over...

    'Are we freezing because of global warming?'

    You are truly something. And you will never change. God bless you.

    lol, this was the state you were at 2 years ago

  • Ha. Feels like longer than that, too.

  • Well, Heck, you apparently are pouting that I successfully disagreed with Shep's stupid

    "virtually all scientists on earth know mankind is causing gw and the debate is over".

    IOW's.... anything to change the subject from heil Obamao, yes?

    I've posted from science jounals, I've posted from your CNN... I've posted from

    all sorts of places. BTW, I have never said that polls were the end all nothin.

    I have always said they were indicators of certain sentiments, when you stupidly

    kept insisting that nobody on earth had those sentiments but me, So, I simply showed

    you that you were wrong again.

    You are really wrong about the stupidass Obamaomarxistcare bill being approved by the Court.

    you watch and learn, grasshopper. And then you can share it a bijjilion times to your little woodpecker

    until he gets it, too. And yes, the mmgw debate has pretty much been winning for years,by my side. Go figure.

    Now take your feeble emotions and quit venting my direction. I have a giant garden to plant. 😒

    are you really trying to ignite this 2 year old debate right where you left off?

    (I use the term debate very loosely)
