Well, let the arguments begin. The cons will say Global warming isn’t real and the libs will say they have their heads in the sand. I know what I believe and I’m also bored with the argument!
I saw a bit of an interview on Fox ‘News’ today (dont’ know the participants) — there was a caption indicating that the interviewee believed we need to innovate our way out of the climate change problem.?Does this mean that Fox ‘News’ believes that climate change is not a hoax??I assume frequent Fox viewers will know.
No aware person denies climate control any longer, unless (a) politics trumps truth for you, or (b) you’re paid to not believe it, like the Koch Brothers “scientists,” the kind (and sometimes the exact same people) who once were paid to say tobacco doesn’t cause cancer. There’s no third option, because the evidence has been coming in for forty years, and becomes more definitive every month. This will be hugely damaging to the only planet we’ve got to live on, and it is unconsciable that we don’t have a carbon tax. Corporate money is making our planet unlivable, for a few percent value in a few stocks.
For those who still think there is ANY doubt about climate change — even Ima’s usual information-free rant seems a little weak — here’s the National Center for Science Education site. Go on, learn something!http://ncse.com/climate
Oh, and a story about how Global Warming as led to those fires out West:http://www.salon.com/2012/07/03/we_started_the_fire_global_warming_burns_the_southwest/The planet isn’t warming evenly — it isn’t a microwave oven, for Pete’s sake — it is warming on average, in ways which lead weather patterns to change. For example, the UK is warmer than it should be “normally” (it is at the same latitude as Newfoundland but has temperatures more like Boston) because it is warmed by the Gulf Stream. Global warming can shift the Gulf Stream in the ocean as it already has the Jet Stream, in which case the UK will get much colder. Does an isolated spot getting colder mean global warming is wrong? Of course not; it means the UK will no longer be unusually warm and will revert to the average temperatures of its latitude.
North Carolina solved the global warming problem.(satire)When the study came out saying sea level was predicted to rise 39 inches by 2100, NC passed a law saying it is illegal to use that study. You must quote one from years back that predicts a 6 inch rise in the same amount of time.
No, that is what YOU are doing. The data are vast and available.A group of the top researchers are putting ALL their data online for other scientists to examine, and having publicly visible discussions on realclimate.org.SO STOP LYING ABOUT THEM.

What about the crass commercialism of products invading our everyday life…schools, sports, and even our comics!Do you think a super PAC paid for this?

My dachsie said it’s “pavement warming”. When your legs are only three inches long, you’re “closer to the issue”.
