Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.
Threats Will do
Published on October 13, 2006 By Dr Guy In Politics

There is a debate.  Yes, a Debate as there is no conclusive answer yet, much to the chagrin of one side of the debate.  The debate is Global Warming.  And it seems that the Global Warming kooks (note to the easily offended - This does not include all global warming adherents) are loosing the debate, and now want to threaten the other side.  Yes, that bastion of looniness, the Green publication Grist, wants to have "Nuremberg" style trials for anyone that does not agree with their opinions.

WOW!  Where have we heard that before?  Perhaps in Communist China, the Old USSR, North Korea, Cuba, etc.  Notice a pattern emerging here?  Yep!  This 'respectable' magazine, so respectable that Al Gore has decided to use it as a source for his lunacy, has decided that there can be no dissent.  They know everything and anyone who disagrees is a criminal!

And we laughingly thought we had defeated communism!  Laughingly because the brain dead loons on the extreme left are still in love with it and think they can get its return!

But even sadder than their love for a totalitarian regime where no dissent is allowed, is the fact that they think that is the only way their opinions can win out in a debate.  And in that, they are probably right.  For it is clear they lack reason and intelligence and more importantly, FACTS to win the debate.

Just threats.  That is all they have left.  Welcome to the new re-education camps of the 21st century.

I don't follow you. Do you beleive to Global warming or not?

I think that the fact that the average temperature of Earth is rising was now completely accepted. Quicker in the polar sections than the equatorial, as proven by many studies.

People are still debating if there is or not worldwide climate changes?

Only a few loons from the opposing side of that which DG describes.

What is up for debate, however, is the causes of such warming, be it man-made (which is likely true to at least some degree) or other natural variations, such as sun activity, interactions with other planets in the solar system, etc.

People are debating the cause, or even if there is a general warming trend, since the observable data is so small in relation to the entire life of the planet.  But even if we all accept global warming (and I am old enough to remember the scare of global cooling), the cause is not known, or even if any actions of man can do anything about it.

And it is much too soon, with far too little data to say that one side has all the answers.

"I think that the fact that the average temperature of Earth is rising was now completely accepted. Quicker in the polar sections than the equatorial, as proven by many studies."


To which most of us say... so? The fact remains that the Earth has been hotter, all on its own without the help of what the luddites seem to think the problem is. You can't get intelligent debate on it, though, because they just shift into "How can you deny the earth is warming?" mode, and seem oblivious to the idea that the most fear mongering explanation might be just one of many.

No, we understand the Earth is warming up. It has been much warmer than now, and it has been much colder than now. As we've polluted the Earth has shifted more toward warming, but correlation does not equal causation. Nevertheless environmentalists would have us believe in knee jerk fashion that if witches burn, and wood burns, and wood floats, and ducks float, then witches must weigh the same as ducks.

Exactly!  We dont know if this is a normal cycle or not.  Or that man can do anything or not.  But to the loons on the left, if we do not goose step to their ideas, we must be silenced through force.  And that is what I find the most objectionable and scary.  Far more scary than any perceived warming we might have.

I would suggest the loon at grist start in Buffalo NY.   If he gets out alive, then he might try Detroit and Cleveland.

The same people that accuse Bush and the republicans of "fear mongering" are the same one's who tell us the world is ending because of global warming, and it's all the fault of Bush and his oil friends.

If you guys would stop farting so much - the ozone layer may get a chance to repair itself!

And when theirs does not work, they resort to bullying!  For that is what this is, pure and simple.  But the difference is, this bully has no clothes

Trying to silence the opposition is a hallmark of the extreme left so it's nothing new. I still find the whole warming debate to be pretty amusing.

On one hand you have a group who are convinced that evil Mankind is responsible despite the fact that the planet has been far warmer in the past, well before people. They believe that we're all doomed and Earth will burn to a cinder because of a little CO2.

On the other hand you have a group who don't believe Man's influence has anything to do with it at all. They believe we shouldn't worry about it at all.

In the middle are those who believe that it's all part of the natural cycle but accept the fact that Man's influence may or may not affect it. They believe that taking sensible steps to curb pollution is a good idea. They also have the most fun watching the first two groups fight with each other.

But then we would explode and you would have no men!

That would be most of us. However, controlling polution is not part of the debate really. It is called good health. But holding our farts in? (as algore wants us to believe) will not make a difference. besides, the most polluted areas of earth are not here, but in EXEMPT countries under their precious Kyoto Agreement.

Well, pollution is really at the heart of the debate isn't it? The whole thing is about reducing the gases we pump into the air (pollution).

I agree about the most polluted areas being those excluded by Kyoto.

I am all for reducing our spoilage of the planet, I just disagree with the premise that our influence has much if anything to do with the global warming issue.

And there are some out there whom I wish would hold in their farts. At least until they find a restroom.

I remember the "next ice age" stuff from when I was a kid. A colder than normal winter and we were all doomed to freeze to death.
How long have we had accurate weather records - a few hundred years?

I also remember the: milk, butter, eggs, coffee, chocolate, radon gas, get some sun - stay out of the sun, color TV, transistor radios, alar, if Kennedy gets elected the vatican will relocate to Washington, blah, blah, blah scares.
One from my Dad (WW2 radarman), "Well honey, the only thing is it makes you sterile - but it's for the war effort." Perhaps I have more siblings than the ones I grew up with.

Perhaps Al Gore has been holding in his farts. That might explain his bloated opinions.

I believe we should all hop into our Lear jets and fly all over the world preaching about the dangers of global warming.

Now that is the way to cut down on greenhouse gases.
