If you cite "global cooling" as the "next big thing", then clearly you get your scientific understanding from the mass media, and not scientific journals. As such you have just informed everyone you don't really follow the scientific findings, or at least don't understand the difference between a peer-reviewed journal and the tabloid press. As such you don't really have a very trustworthy opinion on this subject, as you have not even attempted to differentiate between guesswork and demonstrable fact.
The blade only cuts both ways when you start making stuff up.
So because of the food pyramid, climate science is wrong?? Distrust science all you want, but if you refuse to research the findings of the IPCC you are engaging in science denialism, not some sort of quest for truth. AGW is not a craze, it's a phenomenon which probably will have some rather expensive and difficult effects on human civilisation. This article is about farmers not believing in science - that is not "scientific findings", but conjecture of non-experts. If you equate their opinions and gut-feelings with actual scientific research, you should sue your old school, as they failed you.
The questions you pose have already been answered, and the answers are easy to find and understand. There really is no excuse for not knowing them and still posting in a discussion such as this. It makes people think the questions haven't been answered (as why else would a rational person ask said questions?). Your laziness isn't helping the discussion.
It's not scepticism, though - it's cynicism. There's a big difference, even though both positions start by not believing the claims. A sceptic will review the evidence and be willing to change their position. A cynic will hold on to their position regardless.
The climate scientists have taken that into account, and there is still worrying amounts of warming. Read the IPCC's reports and you'd know, and you'd think twice about making posts which make you look so ignorant.
No, it's not about ensuring that no-one ever gets to dubious, outdated information, it's simply increasing the barrier to push it outside casual discovery, which is precisely the point. It doesn't need a Great Firewall of Europe, just an appreciation of common sense, which is what happens here. Europe has very strong data protection laws, which this is the outcome of.
If you stick with logic you'd have a much better chance of understanding this.
He is critical of Islam, yes, and that is quite valid in some respects, but he seems to assume that all Muslims are fundamentalists, and then judges each and every one of them on that merit, which is indeed lazy as fuck, and borderline evil. It's easy to call him a bigot, as he is bigoted. He's the very definition of a bigot. One does not need to post a link to a dictionary to make that clear.
Trying to tell depressed people that it won't always be like this is never going to work. It's grating to hear, because all you can think is "yeah, but that doesn't help me now". It's like telling a starving person that there is cake in a year. They're starving *now*, and they might be convinced they'll never see a year. So yeah, it is kind of like telling a disabled person to start foxtrotting about - it will have the same effect, and produce the same level of annoyance in those being preached at.
I'm sure it looks like reading chicken guts if you don't know what it's about and are unaware of how to do it. But then you've never let reality get in the way of your opinion, have you?
ChrisQ frequently makes posts complaining about Muslims or Islam, and usually without any good reason. You can check his history to confirm this. His post in this thread is merely one of many occasions.
Your fear isn't valid, though. That's the thing. You think that's the case, and are willing to label millions of people in the process, simply because you're intellectually lazy. Tell us again why anyone should listen to you?
You always bang on about Muslims. You really should read more unbiased news outlets, as you clearly have been corrupted by forces just as evil as the evil Muslims you think exist. See how that works? Of course not - you're a hate-filled bigot.
Europe is larger than the US. Your grasp or reality is absurd. The rest of your post was just your opinion, based solely on what you imagine the world to be like.
If the US was really the world police, it would step in when things needed sorting, not when things could be sorted in a way that is good for the US. If you really want to think of the US as world police, then they are a corrupt and murderous police force. Tell the world again why they should be thankful? Try not to end it with "it would be a shame if anything happened to your nice country..."
Abject nonsense. If you saw what the victors of WWI did to the Germans you'd be surprised it took them as long as it did to get royally upset and cling to anyone who claimed to be able to fix it. It was utterly disgusting. The sheer amount of violence and suffering inflicted upon the normal German people was horrific. Starvation, violence, oppression, freezing cold in winter, you name it. You've been blinded by nationalism - don't believe the hype.

No. "Climate" refers to trends in weather.
You seem to be confusing "everyone" with "you", which isn't surprising as you are clearly a selfish bastard.

We are not working on "is it real". You clearly don't know much about this.

Neither of your arguments have anything to do with science. Neither are even arguments of any kind, just blather.

If you'd read what this is all about, you'd know you're really far from the truth. Really, embarrassingly far away.

Write down why and get your Nobel prize if it's that easy. We can wait.

From all sane people the world over: Go fuck yourself.
They are, but a stupid person born to rich people will do better than a clever person born in squalor.
