Beam me to Planet Gore !
As regards the junk science designed to make some other fat cats rich, the earth has never been environmentally stable for eons, and we are overdue for severe change if the earth matches its past history.
The question is how much humanity contributes….which is a minute if any amount. Mild volcano activity releases millions of tons of “greenhouse” gas into the atmosphere….Moderate volcano activity will release hundreds of millions of tons within a few hours. A major volcanic eruption has the potential to wipe out most of humanity if lasting long enough.
The ocean releases 200 million tons of methane into the atmosphere every year..this is all part of earths geology.
Most people have no idea how difficult or treacherous the earth has been to our ancestors, A short study of geology or recent earth science will reveal just how hard life was in our past, and how difficult life will be again.
But Humanity has little to do with this, it is just how the earth works.
Some historical reality for Crispy Creme...
In SW Ohio where I live, we were once covered by a 2-mile thick glacier. Eventually the temps increased and began melting the glacier “back” to the Artic.
In addition, Greenland was indeed green when Lief and the boys landed.
Christie is just another liberal RINO in the GOP...and supports the islamic 9-11 victory mosque at Ground Zero.
Sorry Ann Coulter, but we should be aware that the New Jersey governor is yet another example of the politician as scientific know-nothing.
Did you go to journalism hit-man school?
Just not as a republican candidate for president.
I hope he doesn't enter the ring, we'll have to tear down his name and expose his liberal policies which are as bad as any RINO.
Compelling us to scrutinize his record would be his own fault.
Normally I ignore single issue political positions on the grounds that humanity is infuriatingly diverse and therefore very gray-scale.
But as a scientist, I regard blatant ignorance of basic scientific tenets to be a crippling personality flaw. Christie and Gengrich, along with many others, have demonstrated intellectual lazyness when giving voice to MMGW positions. If a politician can’t be bothered to digest simple physiology and earth science realities, they give me no reason to believe much thought was put into other topics.
Science is not a democracy. Flawed data and irresponsible analysis cannot be massaged into a scientific truth. Pandering to the MMGW mindset is scientific idolatry.
Incumbent Governor Jon Corzine used that tactic in almost every television ad against Christie. It got so bad that reporters were asking Corzine about his baldness problem - just to get him to shut up about Christie's weight problem.
In other words, the weight issue backfired against the Democrat. There are MANY fat people in the United States and they will not take kindly to being insulted on this issue.
>>As Chris Christie continues to play footsie with a presidential run<<
Chris Christie said he isn’t running. The press has made up this meme.
Says Christie: “I’m certainly not a scientist, which is the first problem. So I can’t claim to fully understand all of this, certainly not after just a few months of study. But when you have over 90 percent of the world’s scientists who have studied this stating that climate change is occurring and that humans play a contributing role, it’s time to defer to the experts.”
I think he has just signed onto the political economics of self enrichment.
Vote for Sarah.
Plus Gun control, in-state tuition(horror of horrors), etc etc.
Like all hibernating animals Christie is putting on more weight on as global cooling approaches.
