So the lesson is...don't believe anybodys stupid disaster senario. |
riddle me this..if the world starts cooling are we supposed to burn a ton of fossil fuels so we don't have crop failure and starvation? |
The only way that could possibly be correct is if disasters don't exist. Yet they do. The lesson is that not all opinions are equal. Once upon a time, there were people who believed that the earth is round, and others who believed it is flat. The right response is not to disbelieve both of them. The correct response is to look at the argument of each side to determine which has the most merit, or to identify the holes in each and then fill them in until we really understand. Global cooling was a consideration raised in a handful of papers over a 2-3 year period of time. Decades of research demonstrate the clear trend of global warming. Throwing up your hands and saying "I don't know what to believe" is lazy. |
See, this is the problem with folks building a political movement around the rejection of even the idea of "expertise". You end up with fucking idiots who don't understand the difference between "climate" and "weather" making judgments about this stuff. |
How much money was spent on mitigating the effects of Y2K? There's probably not a single educated computer professional at any level who doesn't understand the massive clusterfuck that ignoring Y2K was going to bring down. I'm surprised you didn't add "CFC-sourced Ozone Depletion" to your list of liberal "hoaxes." Funny, whenever mankind manages to band together to address some global issue like this, if we're successful, fucking GOP idiots get to say, "See, I told you! Nothing to it!" I just read an article that only 6% of scientists are Republicans. Weird, I assumed it would've been lower, given that your modern GOP seems to be almost *proud* of how fucking idiotic and anti-science they are. Truly a sad development, and one we've only seen since Reagan. He was pretty much the original GOP purveyor of, "Don't worry about the eggheads, there's money to be made. And anyway, God's going to take us home soon anyway, so who cares." |
I think I am going to start selling them sightseeing tickets to the edge of the earth, since it is obviously flat. I'll tell them you can see angels flying around if you don't make any sudden moves. |
You a stupid GOP everybody know a Ozone hole death-ray Help Help Rainforest disaster population bomb exploding death and destruction with y2k spewing flourocarbons and rainforest destroying climate change that is going to eradicate the 10000 year old Earth with a warming trend turning into an end of days fireball followed by an ice age similar to that on the former planet Pluto freezing and accidentially detonating all the Nuclear weapons in Iran and North Korea |
You were more articulate when you stuck to discussing the smell of Sarah Palin's underwear. |
Wow, that's the kind of thing I would hear when I volunteered at Butner Mental Hospital years ago. Seriously, it's uncanny. My floor had bipolar/schizophrenics with long term care needs. |
The poster is supporting the Global Warming movement don't act like a GOP and criticize. |
What total ignorance. People these days are proud of being dumb. I don't get it. |
hilarious! |
