    It wasn't a fuck up.
    They had unexpected result.
    The ran the tests thousands of times
    They said, this really should be right, but if it is it is huge.
    They showed there data and experiments to the scientific community
    Someone found a=n error..no that wasn't it.
    Someone found another error, ah, there's the reason.

    No fuck up, just science.

    Oh, well politicians chastised the scientist, clearly there's a problem and not a political move to come up with something.

    So, they where chastised? bottom line, there data and interpretation was fine. It was a media created circus, nothing more.

    " he should not buy an ocean front mansion "
    Why not? please, what great logical leap have you come to the means an increase in ocean sea levels over the next 100years means you can't buy a home on the sea now?

    "nothing wrong with people having different beliefs."
    ther is when one is provably wrong and those people want to shove it down peoples throats.

    " Religious freedom is what our great country was built on."
    Yes, to keep you fuck twads from infecting other people. It was built to escape religious oppression. Something Catholics, and many other religious groups are trying to create. Yes, FORCING people into your belief system is oppression.

    Keep your damn 'beliefs' to yourself and we don't have a problem. Present them as fact, and then make shit up to support them when they are shown to be wrong is a problem.
    Ironically, one of the drivers in create this country was fear of Catholics. Because catholics where the worst at abusing people then.

    "Higgs boson will not put a dent in Creationism"
    of course not, it's an irrational belief, so even another ton of evidences it's wrong won't change their minds. Their minds where closed a long time ago

    He showed the results of scientific studies. Of course he didn't show you 'science'.

    " If AGW ever does turn out to be true"

    It has turned out to be true. IN the field of study, it is NOT controversial. In fact, it's so solid the heartland institute has turned to intentional attacking the classroom.

    Al Gore isn't a climatologist, he isn't an expert, and if it was smart enough to put himself in position to make money from scientific facts, then so what?

    You are just using a verbose ad hom attack. No different then idiots who called the theory of evolution 'Darwinism'

    That map show sea levels. In high tide of low tide, not storms, not erosion, etc... What happened when level five hurricanes start hitting land happening monthly?

    If the world was static, and the oceans still, then the map is what you would get.

    It also doesn't take into account erosion.

    That said, no one is really talking about a 'water world' The idea is stupid on the face of it.
    But most people are talking about planning for future development of houses, cities ports, inward migration.

    This is why deniers drive me batty. They are making it hard to make policy changes. They talk about nonsense such as 'bigger government' What we need is policy, at this point. wait longer then, yes, the government will need to spend a lot more money. Act now.
