*Sigh* I wish all the GW religion apostles would take themselves seriously, do something to help in reducing Man made Global Warming caused by Human addition of CO2 and stop breathing, thereby reducing the carbon footprint, and sparing us at the same time.

But it's the mouth-breathing blowhards from the right who are the worst offenders...

Excuse me people like you make me sick, do you really think comments do anything other than make you look like a fool? There are enough of those on here already, we don't need anymore!!

How many times do I and many others have to say the exact God damn thing? What the fuck is the matter with you people anyway? Nobody is denying that there has been a warming trend over the last few years, the argument centres around the extent to which it can be attributed to anthropogenic causes.

Only the diehard shills are claiming there's an argument about that.

Sorry, I call it like I see it...I don't buy into the 'political correct' mantra. The religion of GW is ridiculous on its very face, and the world is quickly running from the premise of man causing this phenomena, I actually like what George Carlin had to say on the subject....

You are certainly well indoctrinated anyway, I will give you that. It is pretty obvious that you've never really had occasion to look through the issues with a dispassionate eye. Trust me a degree in Media Studies or Eng. Lit. does not qualify you to examine the science objectively.
 
Gavin A. Schmidt, a climate scientist at Hansen’s research hub, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, directed my attention to an official reply to the climate complaints from Waleed Abdalati, NASA chief scientist, who also happens to be a polar climate researcher. Here’s what Schmidt wrote (with some e-mail shorthand fixed):

It’s worth adding on this that a) these folks are not just stating their views (which would be completely legitimate); they are asking the NASA administrator to censor other peoples’ (which is something else entirely), and b) they should know that neither NASA nor GISS have ‘official’ positions on any scientific matter.

Here’s Abdalati’s statement:

NASA sponsors research into many areas of cutting-edge scientific inquiry, including the relationship between carbon dioxide and climate. As an agency, NASA does not draw conclusions and issue ‘claims’ about research findings. We support open scientific inquiry and discussion.

Our Earth science programs provide many unique space-based observations and research capabilities to the scientific community to inform investigations into climate change, and many NASA scientists are actively involved in these investigations, bringing their expertise to bear on the interpretation of this information. We encourage our scientists to subject these results and interpretations to scrutiny by the scientific community through the peer-review process. After these studies have met the appropriate standards of scientific peer-review, we strongly encourage scientists to communicate these results to the public.

If the authors of this letter disagree with specific scientific conclusions made public by NASA scientists, we encourage them to join the debate in the scientific literature or public forums rather than restrict any discourse.

Your letter was written by the same guy in the Bush admin that was stifling research and findings while he was in charge...it seems he still has a problem with how science is done and what NASA et al is about.

Yes, clearly they should be about Muslim outreach right?

Oh I see, so all of the co-signers to that letter were just bought and paid for shills, fuck I hate that word, for whomever is the current bête noire du jour.

And neither does being blood brothers with BP do much for your objectivity, Tom.

Yes, my little retarded friend, the globe does get warmer and cooler. It's been happening for hundreds of thousands of years.

Tell us, rube - has man been 'clearcutting forests for centuries' on the scale that they've been decimated during the last 100 years? Same effect forever - right rube?

How about factory-farming, rube? Were the feedlots providing 20 million cows per year prior to the last 100 years?

Hey rube - is the rate of human population growth over the past 100 years the same as it's always been 'for hundreds of thousands of years'?

Holy shit, you guys are really slow on the uptake.. All I have ever done is contrast BP and the way they picked up the tab in the Gulf with the way that US corporations do their utmost to avoid shelling out by indulging in almost limitless litigation. Those are the facts yet seemingly virtually nobody on here, left or right, is capable of accepting that. I also pointed out that BP was getting all the flak whilst companies like Transocean have point blank refused to accept any blame even though it was their rig and their workers.

How many examples do you need of abhorrent US corporation's behaviour? I have at various times mentioned Occidental Petroleum and the loss of 167 men on Piper Alpha, the deaths of over 20,000 and the half million injuries in Bhopal, the maiming and deaths of ten of thousands of people in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos with dioxins in Agent Orange, the dumping of 18 billion gallons of toxic wastes including cyanides in the Ecuadorian jungle by Texaco/Chevron and Exxon in Alaska. There are many others but I'm done for today.

Those are NOT facts. Those are the PR bullshit lines you've been compelled/paid to repeat.

Actually, there is LESS clear-cutting. They once built ships from wood. In the early days of our colonies, many were established on the need for wood in Europe, because they had clear-cut all the forests. There were South American tribes who vanished because the Spanish clear-cut all the forests. Native American tribes in Mexico, clear-cut their forests and burned land, believing it made the land more fertile for growing corn. We've had centuries of this stuff, and it hasn't destroyed the planet. When industrialization began, we literally smothered and killed entire communities in the early days, from toxic pollution generated into the atmosphere, in such bulk that it couldn't dissipate. In the past 50 years, we have DRAMATICALLY cut these things.
