Accuse someone of Lysenkoism today, and they would look at you like you had two heads.

[Lazamataz]

But according to you, the question is settled.

[RightWhale]

In some countries having two heads makes you a god.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[edzo4]

just remember a gulfstream jet holds 41000 lbs of fuel
1 gallon of fuel weighs about 6 lbs
41,000 lbs / 6 lbs per gallon = 6833 gallons of fuel
average car gets 20 mpg
20 mpg x 6833 gallons = 136660 miles

the earth is about 25000 miles around

136660 miles/ 25000 miles = 5.46

so 1 fill up of fuel for al gore to fly around telling us to use less fossil fuels burns enough fossil fuel to drive my car around the world more than 5 times

effing hypocrite

As we all now know, the real point of this entire ridiculous con job is so Al Gore and his cronies can make massive amounts of money swindling Hollywood idiots and other rich leftists in a bizarre global "carbon credit" trading scheme.

Ponzi had nothing on this guy.

[cogitator]

But according to you, the question is settled.

I don't appreciate goading. Saying "the science is settled" and then ridiculing that position indicates a significant misunderstanding of how the scientific process converges toward an accurate characterization of the physical mechanisms which produce the reality of observations.

As a case example, examine how the science became "settled" regarding the current state of the theory of plate tectonics.

[cogitator]

And by the way — this article shows the same level of misunderstanding.

I just hope your kind doesn’t destroy the economy in a misguided effort to ‘save the world’, which neither asked for, nor needs, your ‘saving’.

Good read. A related post: Climate change confirmed but global warming is cancelled

You may find the article in this thread interesting, if you haven’t seen it already.

Thanks for the link. Global warming means Garbage in, Gospel out. It requires a "willing suspension of disbelief."

Though I'm probably not very similar to the kind of person that you think are "my kind" (I truly dislike blanket generalizations), I agree, I hope that nobody destroys the global economy in a misguided effort to save the world.

Let me ask something. If too many people try to use a limited resource, what usually happens to the resource? (Current applicable example: many different fish stocks).

I need proof -- or at least solid evidence -- the resource is limited, first.

[cogitator]

It’s a theoretical question: the assumption is that the resource IS limited.

[syriacus]

Great column — an eye opener. Helps provide an exit from the trap liberalism has placed on non-liberals.

[syriacus]

Bookmarked. Thanks.

Yup, and you've got to stop slapping the little one around so much. That warning about going blind and all...

[LeGrande]

Mellow a little why don’t you. We need more people like cogitator here on FR. He has a very good grasp of the Climate Crises issue from the alarmist perspective and for a good discussion it is important to have opposing points of view.

Cogitator has performed a very valuable service for us freepers over the years and we shouldn’t forget that. Especially now that we just might be getting the evidence we need to prove that Global warming is not accelerating.
