no, it's really not true

...there's plenty more out there, if you simply have the will to look. Quality varies, just as it does on the "pro" side. However, clearly, the "consensus" that warming is "happening as a consequence of CO2" is purest propaganda and hyperbole. There is no such thing, except among the shrill and the uninformed. If in fact warming were happening exactly as advertised, we don't have the data to show it or explain it as yet.

My position is simple common sense: Study everything. Don't make new pollution. Reduce what pollution we're creating now. Cleaner is better on every level, so pursue that.

In the meantime... when we have climate models that work (we don't), maybe even when we have weather models that work for more than 48 hours or so, then perhaps it is time for us to revisit the idea of climate change with an eye towards affecting it directly. In the meantime, CO2 as a past indicator rose after warming periods, on other words, not as a precursor, but as a post-event consequence. Using present Co2 levels and assigning them the role of precursor and then pointing at the past records is disingenuous at best and outright deceptive at worst. Subsequently getting fired up about our "causing" major climate change in the short term, much less with relatively precise predictions about sea level rise, is not so much junk science as it is bunk science. If the models are right, it's a complete and utter accident — not a consequence of modeling using past data, because there is no comparable event in the geological record.

Putting up shades we can't take down is about as stupid an idea as I've heard in a while. And I run into a lot of stupid ideas. I hang out here, after all. :)

Don't forget Walter Duranty's Pulitzer Prize winning propaganda about Stalin's Soviet paradise.

That perception was that Google was "cool".

Now that Google has turned into a rent boy for the Chinese thugocracy, they are looking a lot less "cool".

Dean's World gets it spot on:

Because there is, to me, a difference between doing business under the communist bootheel and putting your own foot in the boot.

People with ethics will divest from Google stock, as they did long ago from Microsoft.

This guy is self-published. I can see why you put the smiley. Universal Publishers is a self publishing house like PublishAmerica.

This makes me suspicious. I did a google search and found that this guy has no credetentials. So I'd have to view his theory with great skepticism. I'm not going to shell out $30 to find out. And neither is this guy.

53 keys? Still too many. What you need is the full featured pirate keyboard which has only 6 keys! Bad ass design, if you ask me.

You sir are ignorant.

Try to find a role model that doesn't make the truth up to serve his own twisted fucking money making purposes. The only good thing this jackass does is suck money out of the pockets of liberal morons.

Michael Moore is a Big, Fat Idiot!
Calling Michael Moore!!!!
Google the big fat liar.

You may think you have an interesting perspective or point of view perhaps, but do not imagine yourself to ever be in the same class as the people who put thier lives on the line to actually tell the rest of the world what is happening.
