Lool! Palin knows how to call moose, I just lured republicans, and caught one! LOL!!! :D Now, let’s see…anyone knows how to field dress a republican? (Picture of TGS, hanging upside down from the ceiling)Maybe I can get help from the eskimos in the cartoon…
Corosive Frog; your profile says 23 and female…perhaps you are used to luring dudes? wink wink
And by the way, I find it both hilarious and disheartening at the same time that people found politics in a simple NON-POLITICAL comic. Obsess Politics much??
TGS: No, the joke -absolutely intended and created between CF and FWG- was based in the perpetual state of denial about global warming -among many other important issues- that the average Conservative and Republican people live…
I we have to explain that joke to you, well, THAT clarifies a lot!
CF: It seems you are about to get an “inter-party” date! way to go girl!
TGS: Thanks for the link. It appears to be dedicated to satanize the figure and works of Al Gore, but there are some interesting information there:
I took this from the link you gave:
“…Different regions of the United States are responding in varying ways to climate change, with drought in the Southwest and changing blooming patterns in the Northeast, but Alaska is feeling the effects the most. The state has warmed by 4 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 50 years – far outpacing the global and national temperature rise. Glaciers on its southeast coast have receded one to five miles over the past few decades, and the warmer, drier temperatures sparked a beetle infestation that devastated spruce trees on the Kenai Peninsula.
Alaska has experienced “a double whammy,” said John Walsh, a University of Alaska at Fairbanks climate change professor, because it has been affected by changing wind patterns as well as human-induced warming.
Palin does not minimize the consequences. When she established her climate sub-cabinet last September, she said in a news release that Alaskans “are already seeing the effects” of warming: “Coastal erosion, thawing permafrost, retreating sea ice and record forest fires affect our communities and our infrastructure.”
So, at least ONE Republican candidate faced the effects of Global Warming…
And many thanks for proving our point. Climate is changing thanks to human activity, Denial is futile.
“And many thanks for proving our point. Climate is changing thanks to human activity, Denial is futile”
Nothing that you quoted (from my link) says anything about humans being the cause for the rise in temperatures. I didn’t help you “prove” anything, you got all your “proof” from some professor in Alaska. (Funny how now someone from Alaska is capable of intelligent thought isn’t it?…you guys constantly belittle Alaska as a state full of imbred drunk retards)
So I guess humans caused the several Ice Ages that happened before humanity even existed then?
The climate changes on it’s own and it has for the entire history of the planet. If you want to keep buying carbon credits to make Al Gore get rich off of you then be my guest. Everybody knows that “A fool and his money are soon parted” anyway!
Also, notice how no one says “global warming” anymore but now it’s “climate change caused by humans.” You know what I call it?
Yes TGS, a website put out by the CEI. Last I checked, these folks have chosen politics over reality everytime. Hardly and unbiased source. If you want to take on global warming, how about a link to a peer-reviewed article. Oh wait, I forgot, you GOPers hate science, what with evolution, the big bang, stem cell research and actual use of the scientific method. No, just easier to go blathering on about a 5000 year old earth that has experienced ups and downs in temperature and has endless supplies of oil. Delusional. BTW, you do realize that trashing Gore will not change one bit of actual published science, do you?
“Oh wait, I forgot, you GOPers hate science, what with evolution, the big bang, stem cell research and actual use of the scientific method.”
You’ve confused Republicans with SOME evangelical Christians which is a common liberal mistake/slander. To say something that stupid and bigoted goes against all the teaching of your touchy-feely “everybody is good not everyone is the same” liberal bullsh*t and I hope the irony isn’t lost on you for saying it.
I would think the line where I wrote:
“So I guess humans caused the several Ice Ages that happened before humanity even existed then?”
Would show you that I don’t believe in some idiotic 5000 year old earth but you ignored that….just like you ignored the content of the sentence itself.
For all this supposed “actual published science” saying that Global warming is real there are just as much “actual published science” saying it’s not.
So instead of trying to attack a relgious belief that I don’t even have and end up looking like an idiot….why don’t you try to refute the evidence I gave in my link instead?
I’ll wait for your response that will never come….
Al Gore requires people to buy carbon credit to assist in his healing of the planet to offset their use of energy.
Al Gore wants people to buy carbon credits from a company that he owns.
Al Gore wants people to give money to a company that “assists” in slowing down supposed global warming which is owned by him and he rakes in money from people who need to BUY CARBON CREDITS FROM THE COMPANY HE OWNS.
Global Warming is no longer referred to as Global Warming because it has BEEN proven FALSE.
How many more times do people need to realize that it has nothing, absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with human interaction. You can ignore it all you want and keep paying Al Gore. Maybe he’ll buy a fancy new mantle for his undeserved Nobel Peace Prize.
TGS
Sorry to dissapoint you, but I am replying, despite the fact that your rant is almost incoherent.
It is funny that you accuse me of all manner of things that you assume based on the fact that I actually accept science. Yes, I saw your comment about global temps, but saw much more that you had in common with your co-Gopers who like to deny science.
As for your comment:
“For all this supposed “actual published science” saying that Global warming is real there are just as much “actual published science” saying it’s not.”
Yes, I recognize the oil lobby’s talking point number 2.45.b. It is a flat out lie. You obviously would not know where to look to find actual, published, scientific results that have been peer-reviewed. The overwhelming number of scientists agree on global warming. No, some lunatic web-site is not the same as science. Your very approach and complete ignorance of science is what made me assume you believed in the nonsense of a 5000 year old earth, when you are apparently ready to accept so much other non-scientific nonsense. My apologies.
Oh, and DndrMffln0808. Just two things. 1) trashing Al Gore does not disprove global warming; and 2) global warming has been proven true, not false. Only oil funded “research” (usually just hackneyed literature reviews) claims it is not true. You are either lying or ignorant.
“Sorry to dissapoint you, but I am replying, despite the fact that your rant is almost incoherent.”
Incoherent or you just don’t want to admit that you’re a bigot? You in fact can be a bigot against Christians and you’re clearly showing it. Way to be “tolerant.”
“The overwhelming number of scientists agree on global warming. No, some lunatic web-site is not the same as science.”
Whose science? Lunatic environmentalists with an agenda? Please, those lunatics would only be happy if we went back to living in caves and picking berries out of bushes.
Can you explain to me why According Michel Jarraud, general secretary of the WMO says that 2008 HAS BEEN THE COLDEST YEAR OF THE 21st CENTURY? How is the world warming up if 2008 is colder than 2007? They don’t call it Global Warming anymore for a reason. The Climate is changing, but not in the way you claim and not because of humans.
Keep believing that the sky is falling Chicken Little. Give all your money to people that are taking advantage of your hysteria. Oh yeah…and why don’t you give me a link to all this “overwhelming” data? Just because you BELIEVE something doesn’t make it true. It’s not about how you feel it’s about the facts.
Granted, the report is soooo 2007 (smirk) but it includes quotes by the aforementioned Jarraud; and since TheGreatFrylock enjoys using the word “facts” like a bludgeon… well, read up on a couple.
Yawn….still no answer to why 2008 has been the coldest year in the 21st century. Your OLD link didn’t know that fact (bludgeon) at the time of writing because it didn’t happen yet.
Also, keep in mind I do say that the climate is changing but not warming, like it ALWAYS has for the entire history of the planet.
“Leading scientists, including some senior IPCC representatives, acknowledge that today’s computer models cannot predict climate.”
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Everybody stop doing anything productive and shut down all industry! Let us eat tofu and live in caves to appease the angry Global Warming god from punishing us for our sins by scorching us to death!
You seem to be a tad off your game, Fry. How can a bleedin’ OP-ED dated Jan ‘08 claim that that very year (before it even kicked into high gear, no less) “has been” the coldest in the 21st century? “Didn’t happen yet” in short~
And so the incessant bombardment/poisoning wrought upon the natural world in the past 100+ years by the industrial/technological (even military) revolution has had zero effect?! And had you examined any of those then/now comparison photos of tundras and ice shelves?
Oh yeah, one more thing- why do you hate tofu so much? 8>D
TGS,
“Incoherent or you just don’t want to admit that you’re a bigot? You in fact can be a bigot against Christians and you’re clearly showing it. Way to be “tolerant.””
You are funny. I will have to share that one with my pastor.
“Whose science? Lunatic environmentalists with an agenda? Please, those lunatics would only be happy if we went back to living in caves and picking berries out of bushes…Oh yeah…and why don’t you give me a link to all this “overwhelming” data? Just because you BELIEVE something doesn’t make it true. It’s not about how you feel it’s about the facts.”
A lot of wrong assumptions in there. Suffice to say this: no, I cannot provide a single link to support the overwhelming data - can you not see that that is self-contradictory? Instead, let me provide you with a reading list. Have a look at a random sampling of the past two decades of articles contained in the following peer-reviewed research journals:
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
Geophysical Research Letters
Nature
Science
Trends in Ecology & Evolution
The term you want to look for is “asymmetric temperature change.” The first two journals are more specific and will likely yield more articles, the other three are more broad in topic matter. Glad to be of help. I look forward to crossing swords with you in the future.
BTW, even if 2008 WAS the coldest year this century, it would still not be evidence against global warming, just as a record snow storm is not. If these occured with continued frequency, that would be different. One anomalous data point does not refute the whole. Might I suggest you reference a basic statistics textbook. Again, glad to be of service.
“no, I cannot provide a single link to support the overwhelming data - can you not see that that is self-contradictory?”
If it’s so “overwhelming” then clearly you could find a number of articles supporting you quite quickly I’d assume. Just like I’d be able to find a link against whatever link you’d give me. Hmm…conflicting evidence from both sides? What could that mean? Oh right! That Global warming isn’t 100% proven as you claim? Nah, we have to listen to Al Gore because he’s like smart and like totally super serial.
NONE of you have given me any reason for why 2008 was the coldest year this century yet! If the world was getting hotter then surely 2008 would of been hotter am I wrong?
Before you type anything…anything at all try to answer that. Until then you stand disproved.
“NONE of you have given me any reason for why 2008 was the coldest year this century yet! If the world was getting hotter then surely 2008 would of been hotter am I wrong?”
One more time old scratch, you clearly do not understand global warming or statistics. Global warming is a trend. Where did you read that one cool year would disprove global warming as a trend.
As far as posting a link, I gave you better. Any monkey can post a web site with anything. I provided you with better than that: the opportunity to look at all of the data yourself, unfiltered by anyone else. Al Gore is irrelevant to global warming, as it is based on science (which you will find in those journals - do you have a university near by?). Just look at the first one for the American Meteorological Society. I have answered your question. I can provide a lot of web links, but I would rather read the acutal science for myself. Do you not want to read the actual science? I promise to be here to help you through any difficult vocabulary and math. Let’s work together toward your enlightenment. Now, have you, ol’ Beelzebub, looked into the journals I provided you with? I looked at your CEI website, and even looked at a few of the articles cited, and posted my response. Are you unwilling to do the same?
We’re still wobbling out of the last Ice Age that “ended” 12,500 years ago.
Read and weep:
http://www.livescience.com/environment/050330earthtilt.html
(There’s an underscore before earth and tilt in case they get removed.)
Global warming by definition is a “gradual increase in the world’s temperature” due to increases of greenhouse gases etc. For you to say that global warming is a “trend” is not only completely wrong it also would reverse the whole hysteria of Global Warming entirely. If we aren’t getting hotter increasingly then there is no problem. If all of these greenhouses gases getting stuck in the atmosphere is what is supposedly making the Earth warmer then how in the world could Global Warming be a trend? Did the gases just decide NOT to get caught in the atmosphere this year? Maybe you should actually read the science that you posted links to. I did and STILL there is no answer for my question about why 2008 is colder.
I’m only interested now in that question since your own understanding of what Global warming even is, is completely wrong.
“But you know, I prefer to seek the truth instead of stucking my head into the ground…”
Ah, yes your only interested in the “truth” Alexus….like the “truth” about UFO’s and the truth about Fairies being real? Nothing you say to me will ever be even considered since you give me links to conspiracy websites as fact. You might as well just stop trying to talk to me altogether.

Ok, More data…
12 out of 15 of the hottest years in recorded history happened AFTER 1983…
London reached 100 degrees for the first time EVER…
Ocean temperatures are rising by the year…
Average temperatures around the globe are increasing by 0.7 Celsius in the last century…
90% of the ice in north Ellesmere island have dissapeared…
But you know, I prefer to seek the truth instead of stucking my head into the ground…

“Global warming is a trend.”
Global warming by definition is a “gradual increase in the world’s temperature” due to increases of greenhouse gases etc. For you to say that global warming is a “trend” is not only completely wrong it also would reverse the whole hysteria of Global Warming entirely. If we aren’t getting hotter increasingly then there is no problem. If all of these greenhouses gases getting stuck in the atmosphere is what is supposedly making the Earth warmer then how in the world could Global Warming be a trend? Did the gases just decide NOT to get caught in the atmosphere this year? Maybe you should actually read the science that you posted links to. I did and STILL there is no answer for my question about why 2008 is colder.
I’m only interested now in that question since your own understanding of what Global warming even is, is completely wrong.

Ah, yes your only interested in the “truth” Alexus….like the “truth” about UFO’s and the truth about Fairies being real? Nothing you say to me will ever be even considered since you give me links to conspiracy websites as fact. You might as well just stop trying to talk to me altogether.
