So you are denying the 19th century physics that there is a heat trapping effect by greenhouse gases at all? Dude, you are so far out of your tree, the squirrels are sending out search parties.
Slandering scientists by the think-tank approved "they do it for the graaaaants" gives insightful mods these days. Nice to know./me waves to the shill brigade.
The fact that cap and trade - a policy introduced for SO2 by St. Reagan himself, peace be upon him - is considered a socialist conspiracy these days says all that you need to know about the current state of conservatism in the USA.
+5 Informative. Hmm. When did I miss the semantic switch that made "informative" mean "strawman" these days? Oh, and by the way - regarding your sig - I think you just maximized the number of errors one can make within a three-word latin phrase.
Sure. Grant money is the sole motivator of all scientific endeavor. All that cash must be the reason why all scientists are driving around in their shiny Ferraris, two bitches alternatingly sucking their cocks all the time, while snorting coke from the dashboard. Or something like that. Fascinating to see how the "poisoning the well" smear campaign by the usual conservative think tanks permeates the debate these days.
On Yog-Sothoth appearing as his 'Umr-at-Tawil avatar: "He is one of very few apparently benign Lovecraftian Great Old Ones who does not cause insanity in those who view him."
What kind of pansy chickenshit Old One is that supposed to be? You won't get a pinko commie fairy like that through the Republican primaries, that's for sure. Besides, 'Umr-at-Tawil?? Is that Kenyan or some shit? Not like the avatar of Spacetime itself will be able to produce a long form birth certificate, anyway.
Aye. Looking at the "biodiversity" that is left in soy bean cultures is scary. And we are heading in the same direction regarding staple crops for human consumption.
You forgot to include me, as the nihilistic German biochemist-gone-patent-engineer getting dragged back into his original field, ranting at everyone else in a throaty, consonant heavy voice about evolution taking its course. I'd even offer the sacrifice of slowly, oh so slowly getting convinced by the Irish redhead that, actually, we should do something about it instead of just letting the weak perish. Just for the dramatic effect, mind you.
Possibly, yes. I happen to be a biochemist, but I haven't looked into the details of this particular case. Just felt the need to quip about the vegetarian/non-vegetarian bullcrap up there, sorry...
That's the problem with you, isn't it? Your fellow citizens are the "herd" and you'd like to be the shepherd. Everyone else is the "mob", so you you can dismiss any dissent out of hand. Amusing. How's the basement these days?
Pshhht. You are not supposed to say it out loud before "traditional values" and "christian morality" are reinstated. Then it is time to gloat. That is why you got modded troll by the moral majority, after all.
Come back when you realize that republic and democracy are on orthogonal axes. Nice work repeating that tired old talking point, though. Your handlers will be proud.
No, white privileged males are in the majority when it comes to positions of power. Fortunately, most of us are not batshit crazy along the lines of your "conservativism".
Poor persecuted majority. They really are out for you. Uppity freaks. Someone might take away your privilege one day in the strive for a more just and egalitarian society. The horror! Can't have THOSE people have part of the gains, can we.
If the energy that went into 200 posts of circle-jerking drivel about punctuation went into cold fusion research, we'd get 200 posts of circle-jerking drivel about cold fusion research, but no results. Just sayin'
Well some self-referential circle-jerking about the current thread not being news for nerds happens all the time. Usually in the political threads about stuff that actually matters. Given that I have no idea who or what Louis CK is and why I should care, I think the question is kinda valid at this point....
Also, the language police will shoot people using words like "monetize" on sight when the revolution finally comes.
Wait, do they pay better than the Global Climatologist Conspiracy? I might switch careers in a heartbeat, after all, I am only a spineless scientist out for the cash.
Well, I am taking my freedom to just tell you to fuck yourself, you pathetic little creep. Guys, mod the idiot up to expose his sociopathy to the world. Preferably as "funny".

I am, however, personally interested in not taking part in the next one, especially not on the side of the extinct species.

The rotting has long since happened. The most likely source are methane clathrates sequestered for ages and now getting destabilized.
You are on to something here. I am scared...

Dude, Venus has the whole "love" and "sex" thing down. THAT is evil these days. Mars and war are fine. Get with the times, man.

In the end, it's an argument against high-density monoculture, animal or vegetable, isn't it?
So your definition of "free market" boils down to "might makes right", yes? Glad we got that down by now.

With "tyranny" meaning anyone else having a say in how things are run apart from your enlightened self, right?
