Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers..That statement is downright homophobic.
To: EternalVigilance
While I certainly agree with all of the rightful scepticism about Ms. Goodman's unibomber-like views, I'm waiting for comments on her outrageous comparison of those who doubt with holocaust-deniers.Since Ellen's criteria of being on par with a Holocaust denier includes denying the present there are quite a few on her 'team' (liberals) who more than qualify.
Liberals who pretend that they didn't for the war.
Bill Clinton, who denies oral sex is sex
John Kerry, who denies he insulted the military.
Nancy Pelosi, who denies she isn't exhorbitant.
John Edwards ,who denies he's filthy rich.
Dan Rather, who denies he knew the document was fake
Democrats who deny Bush won the election.
According to Ellen, Holocaust deniers all.

On the day that the latest report on global warming was released, I went out and bought a light bulb. Actually, the scientific study has yet to be released. The report issued that sent Ms. Goodman to the hardware store is the UN Bureaucrat's spin on a study that will be released in May. See, this way, the man-made Global Warming acolytes have more than three months to influence public lawmaking and lawmakers before anyone has a chance to see if the science behind the actual study is valid. If any other scientific research were presented this way, it would be rejected out of hand and rightly so.

Speaking of lightbulbs: I think Ellen Goodman is a twenty watter. A twenty watt bulb in a 40 watt socket who thinks she's a spotlight.

Don't be fooled by what the thermometer says. I heard Keith Olbermann say that global warming is sometimes manifested by colder temperatures.

Isn't she the plagerist? No, you're thinking of another liberal(s), Doris Kearnes Goodwin.

Oh that's right but then all liberals look alike! Ha!

It seems that the liberals like Goodwin are trying to steal the legacy of Abraham Lincoln from the GOP. I read a while back that McGovern is thinking of writing a bio of our Lincoln. By both party and philosophy, Lincoln belongs to Republicans and conservatives rather than the dividers and masters of the zero sum in the Dem party.
To: EternalVigilance
You are right, of course. It is a mind numbingly insulting comment. However, my personal goal is to ask the same basic and simple question to every person who argues that man is causing the problem: How did you rule out the Sun as a cause?
I know there are some arguments about temperature increases not occurring in the Stratosphere but these seem to be highly debatable since our database on these measures is very limited. Observations of the polar ice-caps on mars however while lacking in precision do represent a pretty good marker of solar activity and I understand that those polar ice caps are visibly retreating.
If this line of reasoning does not comport to known scientific findings please let me know.

"Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers,..."
Goodman isn't even a competent propagandist. The warmists* started using "denier" without being specific about the connection to Holocaust denial -- they just knew that everyone would make that connection. Meanwhile, if anyone objected, they could simply "deny" that they were drawing a shameless equivalence with Holocaust denial. She completely ruined the effect by spelling it out.
* You might think that "warmist" is meant to convey the point that the global warming fanatics tend toward fascism -- much like "Islamists" are totalitarian Muslims. You can think that; but I wouldn't want to spell it out for you.

On the day that the latest report on global warming was released, I went out and bought a light bulb. OK, an environmentally friendly, compact fluorescent light bulb. Wow, Ellen Goodman just saved the world. Hurricanes and tornadoes will be things of the past.

Is Ellen Goodman still writing? She was a bore 15 years ago.
