Rob #8:

There is NO debate within the legitimate scientific community any more about humans affecting climate change/global warming. That issue is settled.

Yep, it’s settled; there is no measurable human effect. Solar cycles and other even less-understood cyclical effects account for 100% of the observed data.

Moreover, there have always been two prongs to the argument against GW alarmism: not only is it not anthropogenic, but even if it were, at this point nothing can be done. Interesting that the latter point has now (Feb 09) been embraced by genuine True Believers.

[...] Al Gore talks about “global warming deniers” in the same context as “holocaust deniers” in order to stifle debate. Why does Mr. Gore have so much at stake? Because, he better not be found out to be just a porky, pretentious, pissant version of Chicken Little. His whole identity is now tied up with his global warming theories and prognostications about impending doom. (See original “dark place” post.) [...]

Mike,
Good comment. Do you mean the world’s NOT Flat?

“..NO debate within the legitimate scientific community..”

So in other words, as long as you don’t try to debate us, you’re part of the legitimate scientific community. There are actually a lot of scientists who don’t think pollution et al is RESPONSIBLE for global warming as much as it might just CONTRIBUTE to it. But even they are drowned out by the shrill voices of Al Gore and his doomsayers.

You’re right Rob, these guys just don’t get that shutting someone down because you think you have all the answers is not conducive to the true scientific approach.

And even if you thought the world was flat I’d still buy Tucker’s holsters from you.

“No debate.” I’m fascinated by this issue and it’s mostly by the “there’s no debate” aspect of it.

Naturally, I’m willing to eat crow and a slice of humble pie as the fluids begin to evaporate from my body in the heat and I wait anxiously for the tide to rise to cool my fevered brow.

Meanwhile, I remain unconvinced by the evidence and perversely persuaded to be skeptical by the intense conviction of the “there’s no debate about it, global warming is real, who-is-me the sky is falling” team.

When it’s time to tell me, “I told you so,” I’ll either be right here to hear it or you can come by and piss on my gravesite. Meanwhile, I just can’t get the “there’s no debate about it” point of view.

Interesting point and counterpoint arguments continue. Here’s one from today’s news – http://tinyurl.com/36jyvw

Sorry, Rob, but you’re way off base. There is NO debate within the legitimate scientific community any more about humans affecting climate change/global warming. That issue is settled. What remains is to determine how to respond, and what effect the response will have. Surely, we’re past the point of debating whether pollution is “bad”, just as we’re past the point about whether smoking is “bad”. I’d recommend actually watching “An Inconvenient Truth” before commenting on it. Then look more into additional sources, such as the National Academy of Science. A head in the sand ideological approach may be comforting, but it’s neither realistic nor helpful.

Let’s see. The planet warmed up significantly about 1000 years ago. It warmed up significantly about 2000 years ago. Scientists don’t have an explanation about why it warmed up either of those two episodes. But they *know* it is something different this time?

I’ve always had an annoying (to some) attachment to the First Amendment. Say whatever you want, Rob…just keep those pics & videos coming!

And I’ll take some global warming down here–It’s cold as hell outside!

If “Mark” (why do the ones that always complain never give us a last name?) is so offended by one man’s opinion and so enchanted by Al Gore I’m personally surprised that he owns a firearm to put in any holter that he may have had to fortune to procure from Tucker. I say good rindence my friend. But a word of caution, Tucker is the only one that makes the best damn holsters in the world. And as a wise one once told me don’t burn to many bridges, because you may have to go back that way.

Personally, Im an “Independent” and I really dont care what happens to Algore. He did NOT invent the internet and he is certainly misinformed on the issue of “Global Warming”. Actually, it is NOT the planet that is heating up and it damn sure has nothing to do with so called, “greenhouse gasses” alledgedly emmited by “evil humans”. It is, in fact, the OCEANS that are heating up! Want a culprit to blame? Blame Geology; specifically, plate techtonics. Submarine, volcanic activity. Are we being “picked on” for being money-grubbing capitalists? Not so much. This has happend every 11,500 years for as far back as geologists can reckon. Guess how long its been since the last ice age? EXACTLY 11,500yrs! We are actually OVERDUE! Guess what preceeds an ice age? Ocean warming! Nice try, AL! Go gettum’ Tiger!
