   Talk about rampant ignorance, and I suppose you also believe coffee is a good sleep aid.

   Hurricanes get their energy for warm water, cool them off with land and they pretty much stop.
   Haiyan was the most powerful storm to hit land in recorded history.
   Now go fight for heart healthy transfats and lotsa salt.

   Most powerful storm, EVER, given the geologic record, not just “recorded history”. Notable the first “denier” post displays typical total ignorance.

   @Stipple

   You may be correct, but that does not mean that it has anything to with “global warming”. Global warming is a hoax pushed on us by those (Al Gore) who want to profit from it.

   The earth has not warmed at all in over 15 years. The years that warming was happening it was being caused by the sun.

   Global warming "is probably the most likely thing that is going to happen . . . that will cripple the security environment, probably more likely than the other scenarios we all often talk about.
   “You have the real potential here in the not-too-distant future of nations displaced by rising sea level. Certainly weather patterns are more severe than they have been in the past. We are on super typhoon 27 or 28 this year in the Western Pacific. The average is about 17.”

   Eh, you know the military, full of left-wing nutjob treehuggers. Right?
   C’mon, let’s keep wringing money out of the poor so our children won’t drown in debt, but not give up a single penny ourselves and let our children drown in higher seas instead.

   A dying planet can’t convince denialists. Don’t elect science denialist goons=tea party toadies. See the Boston Globe article about fabricated, false science promoted by Industry funded Cambridge astrophysicist Willie Soon. His work is repeated by conservatives as their basis for denial, is refuted by three dozen scientists who are appalled by it’s inaccuracy,Nov,5th The Boston Globe,“Researcher helps sow climate-change debate.” by ChristopherRowland

   The Anthropocene and the death of civilization
   Take note. We can’t reverse climate change, so we better plan how we’re going to cope with it.

    Cyclone had nothing to do with global warming. The earth has been cooling for over a decade.

    There is Global warming or Global cooling. Static climate over the long term is impossible.

    No, life will not cease, but we appear to be a predominant factor in the 6th major extinction event now underway. A real triumph for the species, is it not? And at the rate it is going, you may not have much in the way of great-grandchildren. Try to think about what that means really. As humans, we in a way consider that escape from death is accomplished by having the next generation come up. We may be seeing no next generation in the not-too-distant future.

    @Tax Man

    Fossil fuel corporations make an enormous profit from their lackies casting doubt about climate change. They will continue to make obscene profits while our society delays moving to renewable energy sources and our climate deteriorates. Scientists and Al Gore do not make nearly as much money as do the fossil fuel industries. The fossil fuel industries spend a lot of money to get you to believe the crap you are spouting.
