Flat-Earthers set the standard for fabulists, but they are certainly not alone in their ability and, more importantly, desire to believe the unbelievable and, in some but thankfully not all cases, to act aggressively, destructively, violently, even murderously toward unbelievers.

I wouldn't have known 'flat-Earthers' were so very dangerous, if this 'belief Nazi' hadn't told me!

This article speaks more to the intractable and intolerant attitude of the author, of same, than others.

In psychology it's called projection... and yes, history has shown such bigots to be very dangerous.

Thanks for the post. The name callers use a bait and switch argument. They say it is irrefutable that the earth has been warming. Well duh. We've been warming since the end of the last ice age and in a medium term cycle since the little ice age. We were in a short term warming trend but that seems to have ended about ten years ago. But none of that proves AGW.

The fact that according to the ice core data CO2 is a lagging indicator not a leading indicator plus the fact we've had no warming for ten years despite increases in CO2 content leads me to believe CO2 is not the cause of the post-ice age warming.

But assume it is. The post makes the excellent point that even fairly aggressive cuts in man made emissions would be such a tiny percentage of greenhouse gases as to achieve almost no temperature reductions. Man can't change the earth's climate any more than Canute could hold back the sea.

The guy is entitled to his opinion. And it’s drivel.

My comment:

Who TF is this a**hole? He obviously is a libtard waste product who can’t find his a** with both hands.

I cannot for the life of me understand how some people can be this stupid.

I remember the kids at the bottom of the class before I went to college. They could reason and make their way thru life.

What’s wrong with this tard?


Couldn’t post it where the Idaho whoever asked for comments, guess they already realized this clown is an embarrassment to Idahoans.

I think Dick Dorworth should add to his list of deniers those who believe that genetics somehow plays a role in the passing down of intelligence.
