Another Climate-Change Retraction

jamie writes "It seems every time someone twists global-warming science into 'good news,' a retraction is soon to follow, and so it must be for Slashdot. Yesterday, the conservative Wall Street Journal published yet another apologetic claiming 'the overall effect of climate change will be positive,' by someone who (of course) is not a climate scientist. Today, Climate Progress debunks the piece, noting 'Ridley and the WSJ cite the University of Illinois paper to supposedly prove that warming this century will be under 2C — when the author has already explained to them that his research shows the exact opposite!' We went through this same process last year, with the same author and the same paper, so it's pretty embarrassing that he 'makes a nearly identical blunder' all over again."

Then go read the fucking science. Jeezus, what you, a fucking infant?

I haven't read anything by the likes of Al Gore or Green Peace in the better part of a decade. I go to the research, and so can you, if you'll just spend the five fucking minutes it takes to find it.

....and lets not forget, dumbfuck, that when Clinton left office there was a projected 10 year surplus of ~5.6 trillion dollars, and a national debt of ~5.7 trillion dollars. The first thing that fucknut Bush and the other anti-government dipshits did was piss away that surplus. Add in the two wars the put on the credit card, and the taxpayer money giveaway to big pharma... and what you end up with is a turnaround of ~16-17trillion dollars because stupid fucking conservatives ideologues can't be responsible and pay down/off the national debt.

Republicans INTENTIONALLY kept the debt, then piled onto it enormous amounts...and the only thing a fuckwad republican like you can do is blame someone else. Not all republicans are useless, but dipshits like you make all the normal ones look bad.

Conservatives hate this country. They have been actively trying to tear it to pieces for the last 30 years. Newt upped the ante in 1994, but the fucktards like you have gone so far overboard that Mussolini would be impressed by your complete fucking idiocy. How about, for once in your life, you let your nuts drop and try to take a little bit of responsibility for the complete fuck up that you obviously were party to.

We don't have a spending problem here in this country, we have a stupid fucking idiot republican in office problem.
