26 Common Climate Myths Debunked
holy_calamity writes to mention that New Scientist is revealing the truth behind the '26 most common climate myths' used to muddy the waters in this ongoing heated debate. "Our planet's climate is anything but simple. All kinds of factors influence it, from massive events on the Sun to the growth of microscopic creatures in the oceans, and there are subtle interactions between many of these factors. Yet despite all the complexities, a firm and ever-growing body of evidence points to a clear picture: the world is warming, this warming is due to human activity increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and if emissions continue unabated the warming will too, with increasingly serious consequences."
Bullshit. The earth has been much warmer in the past without the "zomg serious consequences".
If people want others to take this stuff seriously, stop with the FUD.
I mean, how can someone read those and not think 'okay, those people are twisting everything they could'? I've read better FUD by microsoft, FFS...
"These studies show X, but Y seems far better for us" and similar things are used through this, I can't imagine that anyone can believe them. For example, the 'myth' on chaotic systems - the whole definition of chaotic system is that if you have two very similar sets of input data, you can get two very different sets of dissimilar outputs - so using the kind of prediction that the global trend in a chaotic system will remain the same is bullshit.
What the hell is the 'New scientist', a place where everyone can get crap published?
Its a crock of crap. The world is going through a cycle. The Liberal media wants you to think ZOMG we are all gonna die. Marz is warming also btw so let me guess ... we have robots here... we have robots there... Its the robots! They cause global warming.
Eco friendly is one thing but Dont buy this dont drive that, Does 1 person make a real difference? Hell no. All you end up doing is spending more cash on something thats labeled "Hippy" (read Organic. and to be honest probably comes from the same product/crop as the rest of the stuff.
People really need to think for themselves and not follow the "Flock" or buy into the Brainwashing drive by media.

Did you just call me a terrorist?
I don't commit bombings, but I sure would cheer if one hit the GOP convention. The climate change deniers, the gay bashers, any one of 'em, worse for this country than the terrorists. Good God, the death of Jerry Falwell will bring more peace to the world than killing the top 100 leaders of al queda.
We'll never see eye to eye. I hate the right. HATE. I feel no need to compromise, and certainly no need to be civil.
Yeah, this country pretty much sucks the big one. We're racist, fascist, imperialist, and we're comfortable enough not caring. We're without conscience (or at least a voting majority are).
