by George Will

. .Science magazine (Dec. 10, 1976) warned of "extensive
Northern Hemisphere glaciation." Science Digest (February 1973)
reported that "the world's climatologists are agreed" that we
must "prepare for the next ice age." The Christian Science
Monitor ("Warning: Earth's Climate is Changing Faster Than Even
Experts Expect," Aug. 27, 1974) reported that glaciers "have
begun to advance," "growing seasons in England and Scandinavia
are getting shorter" and "the North Atlantic is cooling down
about as fast as an ocean can cool." Newsweek agreed ("The
Cooling World," April 28, 1975) that meteorologists "are almost
unanimous" that catastrophic famines might result from the
global cooling that the New York Times (Sept. 14, 1975) said
"may mark the return to another ice age." The Times (May 21,
1975) also said "a major cooling of the climate is widely
considered inevitable" now that it is "well established" that
the Northern Hemisphere's climate "has been getting cooler since
about 1950.". . .

Newsweek's "The Cooling World" (April 28, 1975):
http://denisdutton.com/cooling_world.htm

Get a load of how this article begins: "There are ominous signs
that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change
dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic
decline in food production– with serious political implications
for just about every nation on Earth. The drop in food output
could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now. . ."

That bullshit was written in 1975, enviro-weenies.

George Will is the kook.

Incurious George

Filed under: Climate Science? david @ 8:22 am

George Will argues now that no one would have noticed the 0.6 deg. C of

global average warming to date, if the irresponsible press had not
deliberately produced anxiety by pointing it out. He could be right. I
expect no one would have personally noticed the ozone hole either. My
grandmother smoked like a chimney and lived to be almost 100. If that
nasty press had not deliberately stoked my anxieties about cigarettes
and lung cancer, I would never have figured out the connection based on

my personal experience. George argues that big crusading journalism is
the problem. Ignorance is strength, right, George?


And, oh yeah, the global cooling stories, which appeared 30 years ago
in the main-stream press (not the scientific literature). Shall we
compare this with Will's deliberate and repeated distortion of a real
warning emerging from the scientific enterprise, continuing to the
present day?


He looks like such an earnest man. I just don't get it.

From the Bush Administration itself:


"According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Earth's
surface temperature has risen by about 1 degree Fahrenheit
in the past century, with accelerated warming during the past
two decades. There is new and stronger evidence that most of
the warming over the last 50 years is attributable to human
activities. Scientists know for certain that human activities
are changing the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Increasing
levels of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide (CO2 ), in the
atmosphere since pre-industrial times have been well documented
There is no doubt this atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases is largely the result of human activities."

OOOOOHHHH The PEER-REVIEWED NEWZWEEK Magazine said THAT!!! They did
mention three scientists, sort of, about one sentence each, which could
be exaggerated to fit the premise that NEWZ-WEAK was selkling at the
moment. Got PEER-REVIEWED citations?

You are given LEGAL NOTICE that you are aiding and abetting an
ORGANIZED CRIME FELONY FRAUD operation, that you have joined in an
"enterprise" as defined by law, have committed one or more acts of
fraud using WIRES or U.S. Mail in collaboration with the illegal
enterprise. From this date forward any further actions on your part to
aid this enterprise are legally considered prima facia premeditated,
willful intent to violate FEDERAL LAW.

SEPPtic Tank is an ORGANIZED CRIME front operation headed by lifelong
career-criminal S. Fred Singer.

In 1994 Singer wrote a science hoax piece for big tobacco. The piece
was submitted to RJ Reynolds lawyers pre-publication. The piece was
short some "peer-reviewers" so a request was made for some names of
tame "whitecoats" willing to lie for money to sign off on the document.
Ultimately a bunch of names appeared on this science hoax document, as
well as inside it's pages. The whole thing became evidence in the
FEDERAL trial of the Big Seven Tobacco Companies in the late 1990s. The
documents were produced by subpoena (a turm meaning "under pain", like
we will hurt you bad if you don't comply). The evidence passed due
process of law in a trial admitted as evidence. The judge ordered the
evidence posted online for 10 years at Big Tobacco's expense -- oh,
year, the Tobacco Companies also agreed to pay $246,000,000,000.00 too.

Fred Singer is corrupt and I have seen the evidence from the trial that
proved he is corrupt. He is an ORGANIZED CRIME figure who uses science
hoaxes for corporate clients to falsify the state of knowledge on
subjects his clients need confused and obfuscated.

SEPP was organized in the premises of a Sun Myung Moon-owned office
suite. Moon is also a career criminal who was convicted of tax evasion
and money laundering, sent to FREDERAL PRISON, and is a known felon
convict.

FRED SINGER's SEPPtic Tank moved to the offices of Charles G. Koch
Summer Fellows Program at the Koch-owned George Mason University.
Killer Charles G. Koch and brother Killer David Koch operate KOCH
INDUSTRIES, which itself has been convicted of the largest fine in
corporate history -- $35,000,000.00 for pollution of air, lands and
waters of six states.

You related to Babs? Perhaps share the same room at the institution? She
keeps posting this same out of date, irrelevant bullshit too, along with
a couple of other scientifically illiterate posters. You guys are such
numbskulls. You have no concept how science works or what it's even
about. You can go back a few more years and find that the earth was flat
and the sun revolved around the earth. Those concepts only go back a few
hundred years. Should we discount all of the evidence gathered to the
contrary? "Gee, we learned something new today, but it doesn't mean
anything because they believed something different a hundred years ago
and we have to stick with that!" Mars has canals, the moon is made of
green cheese, Bigfoot had an aliens baby. Stick with the stuff in the
supermarket tabloids and leave science to people who know what they're
talking about.

It's the same old scare-tactic sort of thing which makes doomsday
predictions in the vain hope the populace will put all their trust in
government and cede all their power to Big Brother. When it didn't work,
they switched to global warming, partly in a silly attempt to bankrupt one
of the inventors of a chlorofluorocarbons used in aerosol spray cans and who
was a major contributor to the Nixon presidential campaign and it was feared
would do the same for Ronald Reagan and other prominent Republicans. Of
course he was already a multi-millionaire, so taking chlorofluorocarbons off
the American market didn't hurt him even a little bit, nor do those and
other chlorofluorocarbons like freon hurt the ozone layer even a little bit.
One of the reasons the ban on chlorofluorocarbons didn't hurt him
financially is that the group of "environmentalists" and politicians who set
the standards agreed to allow an increase of 15% of the amount of
chlorofluorocarbons in use in third world countries. Astonishing logic:
the use of Chlorofluorocarbons in developed countries is damaging the ozone
layer and causing global warming; however, the use of Chlorofluorocarbons
in developed countries is not damaging the ozone layer and not causing
global warming. the But, it does show how easily radical environmentalists
are lead around by partisan politicians. Anyway, you're supposed to get all
hysterical and melodramatic about global warming and let the "experts" in
government make your decisions for you. And naturally there have been a
plethora of scientists who have pooh-poohed the global warming warnings,
but, the elite mainstream media is loathe to report it. KM

You should have continued with the article, because in it Will clearly
demonstrates what is different between the 1970s cooling talk and
today's scientific consensus on global warming. Back then talk of
cooling was from a few scientists and a few periodicals. Now, global
warming is supported by a consensus of scientific opinion and research.
There is no comparisson to the idle speculation about cooling that
occurred decades ago.

CFCs damage the ozone layer, and CFCs are a greenhouse gas.

Hay, shit for brains. Chloroflurocarbons are not the principle cause of

You are confusing Ozone depletion with Global warming.

Thirty years from now, when this AGW hysteria has blown over, you or

alarmist.

The fact is that there is no reliable evidence for catastrophic AGW. It's
speculation based on conjecture based on uncertainty.

The fact is you AGW guys are just guessing. You have no clue.
You have no solution to GW, either. That's not your fault though,

I have gone to the scientific literature. My goal was to find the smoking
gun of catastrophic AGW. What I found is that the catastrophic aspects of
AGW exist only in the models--not that there's necessarily anything wrong
with that. My next step was to determine what level of confidence I can put
on these model results. And it seems I've run into a brick wall. Nobody
seems to be able to provide anything substantive as to what degree of
confidence should reasonably be attributed to the computer models that
indicate catastrophic AGW. What I am finding can best be described as a
bait and switch routine. I now realize that if you ask a GW alarmist about
the confidence level of the models that they will respond with information
about validating the underlying assumption of climate theory, or they will
respond in an attempt to assure me that we can trust the scientists, or they
will respond with an explanation about advances in our understanding of
theory, or they will respond with a discussion of doomsday scenarios, or
they will respond with their paranoia about Bush and big oil. Unfortunately
they never seem to get around to responding with anything substantive that
would provide me some way of enumerating the level of confidence on the
model results that indicate catastrophic AGW.

There are six main trails of conclusive evidence which make
anthropogenic (Man-Made) definate beyond any reasonable doubt.

Each one of these trails confirms all of the others.

+++ Coral Bleaching in 1998. It never was worse than that during any
time since apes stood upright. There would be massive fossil beds of
corals to testify to higher sea temperatures. The best fossils are all
within 6,000 years old and they are clear and unambiguous. There never
was a worse coral bleaching event in the last 6,000 years than 1998.

1998 came within two degrees of killing 90% of all the nurseries of the
ocean. Any event which ever killed 90% of the nurseries of the ocean
are recorded in fossil beds -- it happened five times in global
history, and the last time was 65,000,000 years ago, when the Alverez
Asteroid struck near Yucatan.

So we have established without doubt that 1998 is as hot as it can get
with higher oceanic life surviving. Fortunately for the oceans, vicious
storms have been relieving the heat content of the seas sufficiently so
that oceanic life is continuing, although 2002 was also a bad year for
coral bleaching. We have to pray for hurricanes to save us from death
of higher life in the seas.

+++ Another trail leading to the inescapable conclusion of Man-Made
global warming is the flooding rate in Bangladesh. This one is far more
complex, and has plenty of superficial confounding-appearance data.
First, there was a massive earthquake in the 1950s which changed river
course and land elevations. Second there was a political change when
"east" Pakistan became independent. Govt records are likely confused
and may still reside physically divided between countries. Third, the
generalized poverty means that good science and good archives are hard
to maintain.

Despite these illusions of confounding, the history of the area is not
a blank. It has been highly densely populated for centuries. India has
kept better records of the area. It has always had some flooding of
intermittant amounts and intervals. The poorest population gets the
floodplains because nobody else wanted them -- they adapted to short
flooding of mild levels of localized nature and could move out of the
way.

The cultures celebrate the changes of the seasons in various traditions
and festivals. The melting of the Himalaya snows is fairly predictable
and steady, just like the monsoons arrive within days of a calendar
date each year. Deforestation below the treeline does not completely
explain earlier dates of annual melting above the treeline.

Severe flooding began after 1954. It first occurred an average of ten
year intervals. In the recent time span it has progressively increased
in frequency, secondly to about every 6 years, now to every other year.
Blame Game has put the cause on upstream deforestation, but there is
earlier snowmelt each year.

That snowmelt was separated from the monsoons by time, and the two peak
water flows were separated by time. Now the snowmelt coincides by date
with the monsoons and record-breaking historically severe flooding is
the result. Nothing this severe is known for hundreds of years, and the
frequency of repetition is a physical impact requiring a physical
explanation.

The flooding is confirmed by the greenhouse gases causing Global
Warming. One must provide an alternate explanation for the trapped heat
to escape the system. Unless one can do that, the provisional
explanation, Man-Made Global Warming, stands unchallenged.

+++ Massive retreats of glaciers and icepacks. One must explain the the
sudden rate of increased meltaway. Global Warming explains this effect
without sweeping any data under the rug. Greenhouse Gases are trapping
heat in the system.

+++ Increased temperatures recorded across the globe by every measuring
means available on the planet. Records are broken with regularity. The
coral bleaching limit shows these are not representative of cyclic
heating events, but are anomalous in the geological record. Nothing
like this has happened in 65,000,000 years of fossil evidence. All the
direct and proxy temperature measures agree within acceptable errors
ranges.

+++ El Nino is a direct effect of sea surface heat accumulation. While
El Nino leaves poor records in the fossil archives, the known observed
rate was averaging 7 years between El Nino events. With greater recent
measured thermal storage in the sea surface, the El Nino events have
been forced to 2-3 year intervals. Physical events require physical
exlanations. The explanation which fits the measurements is Global
Warming from Man-Made Greenhouse Gases.

+++ Storm intensity and frequency is directly related to heat fuel
stored in the tropical oceans. Currently there is peak for all
recorded history of 25% more total hurricanes, more severe hurricanes
and closer frequency of hurricane-level storms. Add that to 500
tornadoes on land in the USA in May 2003 and you see tangible proof of
heat-engines at work disposing of surplus heat according to the best
modern physics theories.

NOBODY has a comprehensive alternate explanation which explains ALL of
this data, and any explanation which fails to explain ALL of the data
may be downrated as attempted Leprechans at work.

Besides the main trails there are many minor trails of evidence, all
confirming, none positively disconfirming the Man-Made Greenhouse Gases
Explanation.

All of the attempted counter-explanations deal with one trail at a
time, such as land-use changes and deforestation upstream from
Bangladesh. All they prove of a certainty is there are piggish humans
who care nothing about the downstream misery of those less fortunate,
thereby strengthening the case against the organized crime rings
falsifying science and committing felony frauds to piggishly injure
downstream less-fortunates. That evidence confirms criminal psychology,
but does not injure the measured recorded and reliable evidence of
increased frequency beyond the power of deforestation only to cause.

Well no I don't know that, and for 15 years we have been asking you and
your denialist brethren to provide 3 examples from peer reviewed scientific
journals in which it was warned that an ice age was imminent.

So far you and your brethren have not been able to provide any references
at all.

Why is it taking you people so long to support your assertion?

Maybe you are just lying.

Ya, that's it... You and your denialist brethren are liars.

No, clearly you are the person here who is lying. The scientific community
made no such warnings. Contrary to your earlier claims.

But today, the scientific community is warning the world of impending
disaster due to global warming. We can find thousands upon thousands of
peer reviewed journal references in which those warnings are written.

In fact they all do. If they didn't the articles would not pass the peer

"Liberals' other new hobby is to call people 'liars'. After years of
defending Clinton, they love the piquant irony of calling Bush a 'liar'.
'_Bush said he was a "reformer with results" -- LIAR!' For fifty years
liberals have called Republicans every name in the book--idiots, fascists,
anti-Semites, racists, crooks, Constitution shredders, and masterminds of
Salvadoran death squads. Only recently have they added the epithet, 'liar".
Even noted ethicist Al Franken has switched from calling conservatives 'big
fat idiots' to calling them 'liars'. This is virgin territory for
Democrats--they never before viewed lying as a negative. The past president,
Bill Clinton, was called "an unusually good liar" by a senator in his own
party, and their last vice president, Al Gore, couldn't say 'pass the salt'
without claiming to have invented salt. Having only recently discovered the
intriguing new concept of 'lies', the Democrats are having a jolly old time
calling Bush a liar. But, they can't quite grasp the concept of a lie as
connoting something that is intentionally untrue--or untrue at all."

Well Lloyd Parker the fact is its happening and in 9 ½ years from now it
will to late for anyone to do anything about it. And if you don’t believe it
then explain why the poles are melting more and more each year. I’ve been
there have you.

Of course, if you take the whole statement, instead of what you posted
out of context, it makes a lot more sense. But then you have an agenda.

On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific
method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but - which means that we must include all the doubts, the
caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are not just
scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we'd like to
see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our
working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To
do that we need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's
imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So
we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic
statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This
'double ethical bind' we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by
any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between
being effective and being honest. I hope that means being both. (Quoted

Yup. Much better to attack the message than make an effort to refute a

hurting Leftwing Liberal candidates for about 25 years now, so by all means,

For the AOGCM experiments, the mean change and the range in global
average surface air temperature (SAT) for the 1961 to 1990 average to
the mid-21st century (2021 to 2050) for IS92a is +1.3°C with a range
from +0.8 to +1.7°C for greenhouse gas plus sulphates (GS) as opposed
to +1.6°C with a range from +1.0 to +2.1°C for greenhouse gas only
(G). For SRES A2 the mean is +1.1°C with a range from +0.5 to +1.4°C,
and for B2, the mean is +1.2°C with a range from +0.5 to +1.7°C.
For the end of the 21st century (2071 to 2100), for the draft SRES
marker scenario A2, the global average SAT change from AOGCMs compared
with 1961 to 1990 is +3.0°C and the range is +1.3 to +4.5°C, and for
B2 the mean SAT change is +2.2°C and the range is +0.9 to +3.4°C.

AOGCMs can only be integrated for a limited number of scenarios due to
computational expense. Therefore, a simple climate model is used here
for the projections of climate change for the next century. The simple
model is tuned to simulate the response found in several of the AOGCMs
used here. The forcings for the simple model are based on the radiative
forcing estimates from Chapter 6, and are slightly different to the
forcings used by the AOGCMs. The indirect aerosol forcing is scaled
assuming a value of -0.8 Wm-2 for 1990. Using the IS92 scenarios, the
SAR gives a range for the global mean temperature change for 2100,
relative to 1990, of +1 to +3.5°C. The estimated range for the six
final illustrative SRES scenarios using updated methods is +1.4 to
+5.6°C. The range for the full set of SRES scenarios is +1.4 to
+5.8°C.

The irony is that there are fortunes large and small to be made in the
coming energy revolution, much as in the information revolution of the
last few decades. Somewhere out there, some energy-related company that
will become the next Microsoft is starting up in somebody's basement,
and this administration is dead set that that basement be in China or

And how many of these have you looked at? Please cite some references that

might direct you to the Scientific American website where, for a fee, you
can read a hundred or more papers and letters to the editor on the subject.

So let me get this straight, you are, essentially, admitting that out of
these hundreds of papers you are not aware of even one of them that has

evidence of impending catastrophic global warming with anything remotely

resembling a reasonable degree of confidence. Right?

Funney? Let us see what Dr. Schneider has to say about the "quote"
shall we?

"Vested interests have repeatedly claimed I advocate exaggerating
threats. Their 'evidence' comes from partially quoting my Discover
interview, almost always -like Simon - omitting the last line and the
phrase 'double ethical bind.' They also omit my solutions to the double
ethical bind: (1) use metaphors that succinctly convey both urgency and
uncertainty (pg. xi of Ref. 3) and (2) produce an inventory of written
products from editorials to articles to books, so that those who want
to know more about an author's views on both the caveats and the risks
have a hierarchy of detailed written sources to which they can
turn.3,4,5 What I was telling the Discover interviewer, of course, was
my disdain for a soundbite-communications process that imposes the
double ethical bind on all who venture into the popular media. To twist
my openly stated and serious objections to the soundbite process into
some kind of advocacy of exaggeration is a clear distortion. Moreover,
not only do I disapprove of the 'ends justify the means' philosophy of
which I am accused, but, in fact have actively campaigned against it in
myriad speeches and writings. Instead, I repeatedly advocate that
scientists explicitly warn their audiences that 'what to do' is a value
choice as opposed to 'what can happen' and 'what are the odds,' which
are scientific issues (e.g. p.213 of Ref. 3). I also urge that
scientists, when they offer probabilities, work hard to distinguish
which are objective and which are subjective, as well as what is the
scientific basis for any probability offered. For such reasons I was
honored to receive, in 1991, the AAAS/Westinghouse Award for the Public
Understanding of Science."

In case you're interested in the truth (which is doubtful) -

APS News Online August/September 1996 Edition

Don't Bet All Environmental Changes Will Be Beneficial

by Stephen H. Schneider, Prof., Dept. of Biological Sciences and Sr.
Fellow Inst. for International Studies, Stanford University

Editor's note: Professor Schneider was offered space to express his
views following the publication of an erroneous quote attributed to him
in the March issue. The opinions expressed are the author's and not
necessarily those of the APS, its elected officers or staff.

Perhaps you shouldn't believe me, at least that is what Julian Simon's
characterization of my views of environmental threats would lead you to
believe in APS News Back Page article (March 1996, pg. 12). Simon
"quotes" me directly, as supposedly saying "Scientists should consider
stretching the truth..." to get good publicity for their cause. After
the March issue was in print, Simon notified the editor that this false
and very damaging statement was incorrect. What he hasn't yet admitted
is that even what he states to be the "correct quote" is still an
out-of-context misrepresentation of my views, a distortion he persists
in perpetuating even months after I personally told him of the context
of the original quote.

The Simon APS News article offers to bet environmentalists "...that any
trend in material human welfare will improve rather than get worse."
This article echoes an editorial essay entitled "Earth's Doomsayers Are
Wrong" that appeared in the 12 May 1995 San Francisco Chronicle open
forum. Simon then said that "Every measure of material and
environmental welfare in the U.S. and the world has improved..." and
that "All long run trends point in exactly the opposite direction of
the doomsayers" Thus he implied that few, if any people would likely
accept his bet since for the past 25 years the pessimists have been
"proven entirely wrong." When my Stanford colleague, Paul Ehrlich, and
I took up his challenge1 and named 15 environment-related trends we
were willing to bet would deteriorate, Simon refused claiming to the
Chronicle (18 May 1995) that "I do not offer to bet on the progress of
particular physical conditions such as the ozone layer" (as if its
decline were not a negative measure of environmental welfare!).

In November, 1995, I debated Simon on Lateline, the Australian TV
equivalent of the US Nightline program, on the issue of the Chronicle
bet. In a segment they did not air, Simon charged that I advocate
exaggerating science to enhance the appearance of environmental
threats. To bolster this charge he resurrected an oft-quoted, but
usually out of context partial quote, from a Discover Magazine
interview2 in 1989 in which I decried soundbite science and journalism
by pointing out that nobody gets enough time in the media either to
cover all the caveats in depth, (i.e., "being honest") or to present
all the plausible threats (i.e., "being effective"). During the TV
debate, months before Simon's APS News article appeared, I pointed out
that he was taking only part of the full quote and that part was
seriously out of context - this is the same source he "quoted" in APS
News. The full quote follows, where I have italicized what portions of
it Simon quoted and bracketed what I did not say but he attributed to
me in the APS News article:

"On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the
scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but - which means that we must include all the
doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are
not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we'd
like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates
into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic

change. To do that we need [Scientists should consider stretching the
truth] to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's


imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage.
So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic
statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This
'double ethical bind' we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved
by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is
between being effective and being honest. I hope that means being

both."2

Vested interests have repeatedly claimed I advocate exaggerating
threats. Their "evidence" comes from partially quoting my Discover
interview, almost always -like Simon - omitting the last line and the
phrase "double ethical bind." They also omit my solutions to the double
ethical bind: (1) use metaphors that succinctly convey both urgency and
uncertainty (pg. xi of Ref. 3) and (2) produce an inventory of written

assessments,6 in which words like "any," "all," "every," and "entirely"
are scarce, and citations are quoted or paraphrased in their proper
context.

Funnny? He didn't say anybody needed to lie. You never read the
entire interview. But you really don't need to since all your
concerned with is dishonest rhetoric. We all know what the truth is
concerning this 16-year-old "quote". The fact that you have to trump
it up and ignore the truth is very telling. You can't support your
argument honestly. Very funnny indeed.

Elite of the rightwing? That's hilarious! I don't have much to say about
"Big Oil" one way or the other. Let's see now, I not only believe in
abortion on demand, I don't believe that the government should ever
intervene into medical procedures which should be strictly between women and
their healthcare professionals. Is that what the "elite of the rightwing"
teaches? I believe the Electoral College is an anachronism and should be
replaced by the popular vote? Is that what the "elite of the rightwing"
professes? I believe that evolution as started by Charles Darwin has become
incontrovertible fact and should continue to be taught in science classes
and further that "creationism" and "intelligent design" have no place in the
science classroom. Is that what the "elite of the rightwing" promotes?
Obviously you know ever so much more about the "elite of the rightwing" so,
I'll bow to your superior knowledge. Interesting how my words don't mesh
with your elite Leftwing Liberal parroting, so you automatically stereotype
me and put me inside a convenient box that will hopefully keep you from
*shudder* "thinking" when you respond to my comments. But, fear not, I
won't be refuting your words in the future, they're not worth reading.
Buh-by now, Nosmo. KM

I hope you have gotten a significant amount of prescriptions for
tranquilizers and hypnotics to see you through this dreadful dilemma. In
the 70s the elite mainstream media warned us of the impending ice age.
Those scare tactics didn't work so now they've switched to global warming as
the latest trendy catastrophe that puppets are supposed to swallow. But,
please do continue to be overwrought about such silliness; in the 1800s
biblical "scholars" warned that the earth would come to an end before the
turn of the century; the religious doomsday peddlers have been replaced by
journalists who cite "scientific evidenced" that Armageddon is indeed around
the corner and civilization as we know it will burn in earth instead of
hell! Do you recall a couple of years ago that the Global Warming
Conference in Boston had to be cancelled because the weather was too cold?
Ya gotta love it! KM

him to look at the Scientific American articles as a possible source for
him to use since I don't believe he has any himself and is just

Do your homework. The information is out there. Some you may agree with,
some you won't. But until you do a lot more reading and research on your
own, you are a captive of "biased agenda thinking". In the end, if you
want to believe that GW is not real, and that the 6 billion people on the
planet throwing hydrocarbons willy nilly into the atmosphere has no
consequences and no environmental effect, then that's your opinion. Stick
with it, I don't care. But it will not change the hard facts on the
ground.
