    Default Ok, I admit I was wrong about global warming

    the climate models are a little more reliable that I thought. I am truly sorry to everyone i've argued with.

    Carbon taxes are, honestly, the kindest idea I have in mind.


    MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

    Renewbles shall be subsidized to be equal in price to oil and nonrenewables in price, and so the oil age will end, and Americas economy shall collapse, and Europes and China shall surpass us, and global warming shall not come to pass, so I may kill America like I have always wanted to!

    Carbon taxes to fund alternative energy sources might be the best way to help fund weaning ourselves off of imported oil.

    Global warming can be the excuse, but carbon taxes still have merit in our current and future situation.

    Greedy corporate investor(in alternative energy): LOL it's perfect! They're ready to pay more for this technology we've been waiting to release since the 70's. This carbon caper is the best thing to come along in years. That crafty Al Gore. I shoulda know that's what he was winking to me about.

    Some might might think you were being sarcastic, the rest know better.

    Ba bump!!

    here's the peer reviewed study for the warmers to ignore. Granted, i've only read about the study and have not read beyond the abstract and summary available for free. I'm just a poor sceptic. I can't afford to pay every time i want to make a point about the settled science of global warming.

    Peer reviewed?

    I don't trust anything that's been peer-reviewed. You can't trust "peers;" it reeks too much of consensus.

    I'm much more about the "lone wolf", renegade scientists out there, whose research flies in the face of untrustworthy peers.

    Yeah! Like these "lone wolves"...

    ...new research by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Ohio State University.

    Those crazy universities and National Centers!
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
