How many times have you heard the Democrats claim the Health Care legislation was "bi-partisan" because handful (fewer than35% by far) of the Republicans voted for it?
I find "gore" pics disturbing and always have to clean out my mind's eye with some nakkid women after stumbling across someone with their guts strewn about them.
Let's see the experiment they performed, controlling for ALL other variables and show conclusively that in our incredibly complex environment, CO2 will cause the end of the world. Then let's see it replicated again and again.
In case they didn't tell you in school, THAT is science.
You can't show that because it doesn't exist. All they have some some flakey observations using proxies upon proxies (until they are inconvenient) to gin up a theory and then extrapolate that to an entire ecosystem.
And then there this little jewel...no matter what happens...colder, warmer, more rain, less rain, more hurricanes, less hurricanes, etc... it all the fault of....Ta Da... AGW.
AGW or "climate change" is merely a vehicle driven by the usual cast of characters that wants more taxes and more government control (See Hansen and his preference for a dictatorship). In the past it was population control, worker's "rights", anit-nukes, etc.
There will always be a subset of a civilization that believes they smarter and better able than the rest to decide what to do and they will use any method available to implement a system whereby THEY are the one's in control. We've seen it again and again and it inevitably ends up killing millions of people.
Right now, the AGW crowd has no such interest really as a whole, but make no mistake, there are those who think that the failure of government to heed their warnings is reason enough to support a dictatorial system (again, see Hansen, who is undoubtedly not alone).
You disagree? Then tell me why the vast numbers of "environmentalists" will not support nuclear power, which is the only proven, effective and reliable technology to reduce CO2 emissions? If they TRULY believe what they say, they would be all over nuclear power.
I find it disturbing that you are willing to leave these kinds of decisions to someone who:
* Has no fiduciary duty to you or anyone else. * Has no moral obligation that they acknowledge. * Is not subject to any kind of legal authority with respect to publishing information. * Has demonstrated a disregard for the possible "collateral damage" related to released information.

I'm sorry...all this bitching about Republicans and the Patriot Act...which was written and passed by Democrats?
When Dems control Congress and the measure fails: Democrats Defeat Patriot Act Spy Provisions
When Republicans control Congress and the measure passes: Republicans Extend Controversial Spy Provisions
When Republicans control Congress and the measure fails: House Fails to Extend Patriot Act Spy Powers
When Dems control Congress and the measure passes: (crickets)
"investigations from 2001 — 2008"
Because it doesn't matter if Obama or Clinton did it.
... that there is a genetic component to homosexual preferences, then almost certainly there is a genetic component to many other sexual preferences?
Runaway religion gave us the Inquisition and Islamic fundamentalists blowing people up and chopping off their heads.
Runaway science gave us Dr. Mengele and the Tuskegee experiments.
Too much of anything is a bad thing.
Always some fuck head turning somber situations political.

Actually, I have. Well, he died at the hospital a few hours later. His loop extended a bit too low. Amazing he survived as log as he did.
I and my brother both felt kinda sick and left the airshow after that.
It's a hell of a thing watching people die on live T.V.
Engineers don't have wives.
But the Sheep will love it I bet.
"...interface between engineers and the rest of the world..."
What interface?
Have the Chinese invented anything themselves since fireworks and noodles?
Who doesn't understand statistics here?
Statistics is all about the data. The more you have, the better the conclusions.
We can actually, go full throttle on nuclear technology.
But they don't want that. If you solve the problem, then they have no leverage to increase their control.
They are different than any of the other charlatan movements that sought to save mankind from itself and usually ended up killing millions of people.
They can't. Their theory is like mine:
It will get warmer, it will get colder, sometimes it will stay the same.
It's irrefutable.
You seriously bring up "efforts to discredit"?
"Denier", "Industry shill", "Greedy", etc.
How late were you up last night and what drugs did you take?
You mean these Lunatics from the IPCC?
But you don't have the balls to let us know who you are.
I'd like to see all mods tagged with the user's ID.
If someone feels strongly enough to mod someone a Troll then they should have the balls to let everyone know they did it.
THAT would be a radical change in the /. ecosystem.
La la la la I don't want to hear it he says.
Sorry to disturb you view of reality with facts.
But it is YOUR evidence we need to see.

Seems you are on Reynolds' payroll. I bet they make a fortune on all your hats.
James Hansen is a certified nut job who would prefer we had a Dictatorship than a democracy.
And the AGW people are the ones who made this all Political
