Mr. Moore better hope barbara boxcar doesn't hear of this. She'll be on him like a fly on XXXX. Not that they would bully anyone.

There are now online classes in “how to deal with climate change denial” at edX. No, really.

[MeshugeMikey]

Thank you.

Today;s “eviromentlists” by and large sure arent Yesterday’s enviromentalist.

Theyve kidnapped and adopted the use of the term, but there ends the similarity!

My line is that anyone who uses the words “climate change” is a “gobal warming “ denier. So I simply ad to their “global warming” denial and also deny the political agenda attached to “climate change”

[Popman]

Any time I meet a "global cooling denier" I ask them this question: What percent of the earths atmosphere is the evil global warming greenhouse gas called CO2?

Most answer between 2% and 10 %

Then I inform them it's .04 % That's 211' of 5280' which is a mile...

My follow up question: how can .04 % of any gas change the earths atmosphere?

[mollynme]

I read Moore’s original article earlier today and particularly liked the last line:

Let’s celebrate carbon dioxide.

I think it’s time for a new bumper sticker!

[sauropod]

Boxer needs to shut the frick up!

[GOPJ]

So we are told carbon dioxide is a “toxic” “pollutant” that must be curtailed, when in fact it is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, gas and the most important food for life on earth. Without carbon dioxide above 150 parts per million, all plants would die.

Great post...

climate skeptic

The argument is basically lost in the title much to the smiles of the left.  It's kind of like the question, 'how often do you beat you wife' kind of thing.

A climate skeptic ought to be the political bodies or individuals that purport AGW rather than the other way around.

The war on fossil fuels will continue unabated however, and using the climate is just another way to tax and spend by the DC crowd.

Denier! (heretic)...the dogma of St. Algore is totally correct and cannot be questioned. Bring on the climate change Inquisition to punish this heretic. (sarcasm)

[Skepolitic]

You guys need to stop you blind climate change denialism, and listen to reason. The settled science of climate change is really simple. You, too, can understand and believe if you will simply read the following three paragraphs, which I think is the most elegant, succinct, profound explanation of theory:

So we know [manmade climate change] is happening, and we know it with virtually the same certainty that we understand that if we reach out and touch that hot stove, we’re going to get burned. In fact, this is not really a complicated equation. I know sometimes I can remember from when I was in high school and college, some aspects of science or physics can be tough – chemistry. But this is not tough. This is simple. Kids at the earliest age can understand this.

Try and picture a very thin layer of gases – a quarter-inch, half an inch, somewhere in that vicinity – that’s how thick it is. It’s in our atmosphere. It’s way up there at the edge of the atmosphere. And for millions of years – literally millions of years – we know that layer has acted like a thermal blanket for the planet – trapping the sun’s heat and warming the surface of the Earth to the ideal, life-sustaining temperature. Average temperature of the Earth has been about 57 degrees Fahrenheit, which keeps life going. Life itself on Earth exists because of the so-called greenhouse effect. But in modern times, as human beings have emitted gases into the air that come from all the things we do, that blanket has grown thicker and it traps more and more heat beneath it, raising the temperature of the planet. It’s called the greenhouse effect because it works exactly like a greenhouse in which you grow a lot of the fruit that you eat here.

This is what’s causing climate change. It’s a huge irony that the very same layer of gases that has made life possible on Earth from the beginning now makes possible the greatest threat that the planet has ever seen.
