    Yup, and melting ice.

    We are proof that STUPIDITY has reached the highest levels!

    Yes, you are.

    Yet another example of the dumbing down of America! They would rather follow a movie and shake down artist then use their heads. That is the latest feel good cause. That will end up costing us all. And in the processes stop real work on programs that can take care of our planet.
    Then when someone in the EPA stands up and says wait a second here he is told to sit down, shut up, we don’t need to proof going the other way.

    Some would rather follow the myth of Paul Bunyan, Getty and the oil barons as environmental do-gooders? As Cosby says in his “Noah Routine”- how long can YOU tread water? Just go into a closed room with a 100% CO2 atmosphere for a day, then have your beneficiaries tell us the health benefits.

    Seems to be a lot of one-note charlies posting here.

    Beware of those complaining about others dumbing down then in the next sentence misspelling ‘than’ (or not knowing the difference).

    If 100 scientists tell you your train is heading for a washed-out bridge and 10 scientists and a few radio hosts say don’t worry, do you go full speed ahead, or do you slow down?

    That “someone” from the EPA (Alan Carlin) was interviewed on FAUX News this morning. Nice old guy, quite senile, didn’t seem to know where he was or what they were asking him. He never once said he had any evidence questioning global warming, but the “news team” told him that he did, over and over. Turns out he is not a scientist, just an economist, and his only point was that he didn’t think the USA should follow the UN on anything because it might be expensive.

    But that’s not the way it’s all being reported, oh my, no.

    Global Warming: Reckless presumption by un-qualified scientists and certain editorial cartoonists.

    Just go into a closed room with a 100% CO2 atmosphere for a day, then

    CO2 makes up 0.038% of our air. We as humans directly effect maybe 0.04% of that CO2
    Yet we are to believe if we turn over our money over we can make a difference? Sorry i will stick to one of my favorites like the Wet Land. You see water is part of the cycle we call weather. Cleaning that up and manging stuff like that can make my little corner of the world better.

    You can go right ahead and flush your money down the drain buying shake down guys snake oil “carbon credits” and feeling good about your self.

    I love the way that all these non-scientists can claim that the 98% of climate scientists who agree that global warming is a real and human-influenced phenomenon are all “unqualified,” “hot air,” or somehow all just Al Gore.

    Folks, forgive me for an un-American sentiment, but you are clearly not qualified to judge. Go study up a while.

  13. omQ R

    omQ RGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    motivemagus: Agreed.

    The disbelief in global warming (or at least, that it is caused by man) is simply idealogical.
    The team that one supports is against the idea so one supports one’s colours without reflection.
    It is a sports fan mentality: “Come hell or high-water, I’ll support my team”.

    I don’t get it.

    To motive’ and omQ R: see also deniers of evolution, the Holocaust, and the heliocentric hypothesis. Same reasons, and often overlapping categories.

    What does helium have to do with anything?

    MANY past civilizations have killed them selves because of reckless use of resources.
    It is very possible to repeat their mistakes on a global scale.
    You are traveling down that path.

    and the left is going to save us from this by taxing cow farts!

    OH… MY…. GOD!

    The Wall Street Journal doesn’t believe in global climate change?!! I’m stunned!

    Anthropogenic Global Warming is a hypothesis. It’s well supported by available data and approved by the majority of the scientific community. That being said, it’s still a theory and not yet proven fact, as subjects like Heliocentric Hypothesis have become. Evolution, likewise, is a theory. These may be the best hypotheses we have, and can imagine no other more likely scenario, but they are not yet proven facts. This allows for a modicum of dissension, in my books anyway, without labeling the dissenters with unflattering terms.

    TP: you do not understand the meaning of the words “theory,” “hypothesis,” or “fact” and are using them incorrectly They have specific definitions in science quite different from “street” usage.

  20. dtroutma

    “Theories” also have PROOFS! When proofs are overwhelming theories then become “laws”- at least in physics. “Theology” on the other hand, never requires any proof, just “belief”, “faith”, or ignoring all contrary evidence.

  21. DrCanuck

    DrCanuck said, 4 months ago

    trout’, I must disagree. “Proof” is a mathematical concept and a legal concept, but it is not a scientific concept. “Fact” isn’t really used at all either. There is only empirical evidence, observable, measurable, and replicable objects and events.

    Collect these bits of evidence, treat them like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, organize and relate them, develop your principles and laws, until you have a Big Picture that makes sense of all of it. And THAT is a theory, the sum total of our knowledge of phenomena.

    Theories are never proven or disproven in science; they are only supported or contradicted by evidence.

    …at the expense of our economy, our energy, and the middle class who were promised no more tax hikes.

    HQ, cows do not fart. They have two stomachs and are risky to keep for Libs because of their burping. Now how many of you geniuses knew that? And what is the greatest producer of greenhouse gases on the globe? That would be the Earth’s oceans. It is too early for you Libs to take the place of Diety.

    Pup,
    The bottomline is that cows produce gas, lots of it. The farm lobby has managed to keep cows out of the gas producer column so far.

    benbrillingGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    Yes indeed we do need PROOF before we go for this liberal global warming THEORY. How about EXTINCTION? Will that be sufficient proof for you?
