Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for November 06, 2015

Oh no!What can that little band of plucky billionaires and oligarchs possibly do in the face of unrelenting Science?

I’ll bet those evildoing scientific criminals are Lucky Ducky supporters as well.

Resisting the tyranny of a bloated government: “patriotic, liberty-loving conservative”.Resisting the tyranny of bloated oligarchs/corporate interests: “bleeding heart socialist/communist liberal”.

Irony: We all hate two heads of the same symbiotic organism, which cannot exist in its current state without the other feeding it what it needs. Instead of recognizing this, we are bent on blaming the other group for propping up its part of the organism.

We are all simply observers, bystanders, residents of what the corporate oligarchs and their government cronies have turned this nation into. And the talking points keep the sheep from focusing on the true problems.

The scientists, politicians, doomsayers, tinfoil hats and ditto heads can argue to their hearts content. Down here we are seriously preparing for a severe climate change brought about by el Niño.Unlike North Americans, whose attention span is measured in 30. sec. sound bytes (sic) , the people here in South America remember the devastation wrought by the 1997-98 el Niño and are taking precautions so that history doesn’t repeat itself.The metaphoric finger would be much better utilized by putting it in the metaphorical dike rather than uselessly pointing it at someone else !

Linguist – nailed it – the climate may indeed be “changing” because it’s ALWAYS been changing. We go through natural cycles dependent upon primarily solar output. It’s complicated, yes. There are many factors to global temperatures – but man is certainly not one of them. He never caused it, nor can he do anything to reverse it.

It’s satire! Irony! You don’t get it. Unless you’re doing the same thing in your post.

The facts confirm human impact on the climate.

“There are many factors to global temperatures – but man is certainly not one of them.”Ah, so you somehow know better than 95% of climate scientists. I have a feeling that this is just your opinion, like Ben Carson thinks the pyramids are actually grain silos.

The data show the expected rise in global temperature due to fossil fuel byproducts is only 10% of that predicted. We can’t control the variations in solar output – that’s the cause of global warming. We should first understand that the end product of all human energy production is heat. We are the cause of global heating. What will be the effect of global heating when the other 95% of the world achieve an American standard of energy consumption ? The effect will then exceed the current prediction by 40%. Before that happens, we need to invent new ways of obtaining energy from today’s sunlight instead of releasing yesterday’s sunlight stored in the chemical bonds of fossil fuels. What isn’t talked about is the need for an alternative chemistry to produce goods. Example: the spent sulphuric acid that produces polyvinylcholide plastics is dumped in the ocean, killing the plankton. Killing plants destroys nature’s way of taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. BTW – using recycled paper instead of virgin paper means less trees are planted that will scrub the CO2 from the atmosphere. Global HEATING is the human contributing to a growing problem.
