Wow, even Sizzle Chest himself is walking back man's involvement in global warming. The political movement is dead. If Obama couldn't get it passed in his first term, with supermajorities in both houses of Congress, then the people simply don't want it. It comes down to cost/benefit analysis -- everyone is for limiting emissions -- until they have to pay for it! The libs went about it the wrong way, and got spanked. Now it's a dead movement. Cheap energy is the #1 driver of economic prosperity, which is what the people really want. And that's the bottom line.
I do not respond to the traitor, but if anyone wants to see a model of consistency, and some nicely explained science, you could look up the whole history of my posts on global warming over the last many years. Stephen Schneider, may God rest his soul, the advisor to multiple presidents over three decades, employed "loading the dice," and I have used that term and reference to his cogent arguments repeatedly. By comparison, the traitor has consistently attacked science, attacked scientists, and been shown to be a flimsy, partisan tool of the oil industry, time after time after time, year after year after year. Time will show him and his ilk to be like a Roman patrician arguing for the safety of lead plumbing. Pretty sad.
Good to see that you can't even acknowledge something you don't understand and that you, instead, try to turn it into a game of one-upmanship. But eh, I don't care. You already have your mind made up about everything, so that means you're comfortable with the idea that you know everything you need to know. Keep reading those winger blogs! I'm sure they'll find another article from the lamestream media that you can post about today.
Obama did not personally stop this hurricane with his mind. Nevermind that no one else can, why would you cultists support a president who can't stop hurricanes with his mind?
It's not caused by gays and its not caused by global warming. It's a storm, the earth is known to have those from time to time.
Man is a part of the Earth's environment, they are not separate entities. If mankind creates more planetary heat retention by increasing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, the normal seasonal energy exchanges are influenced. Hurricanes move high energy concentrations in the tropics to the lower energy levels of the higher latitudes (second law of thermodynamics). The greater the energy level (retained heat) the greater the exchange, i.e. bigger hurricanes. Start raising sea level with melting glaciers and you will see a definite effect since most humans live near seashores. (* the Antarctic actually increased it's glaciation recently)
Who's actually doing this? Also: with every post you make, it's clear that you have no idea what "climate change" actually is ... but I bet you already know that it doesn't exist and that humanity has nothing to do with it. Don't mistake your ignorance or your ideology for actual information.
Uh, the people blaming humans for Sandy are. I'm pretty sure that climate change is the changing of the climate. It's a brand new phenomenon caused by white people and republicans.
See, I so wanted to agree with you until you turned your argument petty. I for one think the science is rather lacking when it comes to climate change. If you are a global warming enthusiast or a person who thinks the science is suspect you should definitely watch this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5576670191369613647 It gives a combination of factors that go to show climate change may not be completely man influenced and that sometimes the climate just changes over time. I think the problem that has developed (not just here but in American politics in general) is that people take such a religious view about what they think they can't pull their heads out of there asses long enough to think subjectively. If global warming is ever convincingly linked to human influences I will gladly be the first to admit I was wrong, but I really feel (especially with my other graduate student friends) that if you hear out any other counter points to climate change you are a gun toting cousin marrying Republican who hates animals, minorities and nature.
So aside from being Rockets fans we also agree on climate change. Awesome. See, this is what this country needs to help mend it's political dichotomy, more agreement. Can we also agree that we hate the Lakers and Heat? Too soon?...
I don't think there is a debate that man makes an influence on climate, the question is how much. Global climate frauds try to cram a 100 years of data to represent millions of years of climate change.
