Global Warming my A**

[ichabod1]

I guess I thought they were being sarcastic.

[yankeedame]

Yeah, but the left doesn't need facts...they've got ideology concern, compassion, and (most important of all) good intentions!

[Polybius]

Pet Peeve: Is their any cheaper shot than the MSMs tendency to show footage, as GMA did here, of the calving of glaciers? While used to suggest dramatic global warming, calving is a phenomenon that has occurred since time immemorial. It's what happens when glaciers reach the sea. In fact, as per this Harvard report, calving occurs when glaciers . . . grow, not shrink!

Cheap Shot:

The Sun must be a DemocRAT, because he gets no blame for warming the Earth.

Somebody help me here: In that first picture, is "Sam Champion" a guy or a gal-who-wishes-she-was-a-guy?

[sphinx]

The Earth entered several thousand years of conditions warmer and moister than today; the Saharan and Arabian deserts almost completely disappeared under a vegetation cover,

Uh-oh. This implies more Arabs. Maybe global warming is a bigger threat than we've thought.

In case there was any doubt that Global Warming is about furthering the cause of socialism, the Nobel committees removed it when they nominated Gore for a Nobel.

I say this because the Nobel committees are made up entirely of big government socialist types, and the only people that are nominated are those that advance this cause.

[BnBlFlag]

They have gotten totally hysterical. And it's all just a ploy to install Socialism. (In much greater quantities than we now have).

[stuartcr]

Calving also occurs when glaciers melt or move significantly.

[L98Fiero]

You are right about that, Blue. This is a coordinated media propoganda campaign. It's winter, people are cold, snowed in, etc. so we might forget about this Global Warming canard.

What we are witnessing here is massive socialist propoganda campaign with the sole purpose of decieving the public in believing that socialism is the only answer to this manufactured "problem".

In that first picture, is "Sam Champion" a guy or a gal-who-wishes-she-was-a-guy?

I think he is a guy-who-wishes-that-girl-was-a-guy kinda guy...

[aruanan]

Champion then claimed that "among the shocking conclusions of this report, sea levels could rise nearly two feet, swamping areas world-wide by the end of this century." Champion didn't let viewers know that the report actually gave a range: 7-23 inches. Why did he emphasize only the higher end?

7 inches is about what it is now and has been for many millennia. We're still 2-3 degrees C below the Medieval Climate Optimum. So it can't be the biggest temperature increase in a thousand years.

[VeritatisSplendor]

The scary part in that chart is not the peak, it's the ice age that comes after. And lasts longer.

[Liberty Valance]

The left is now so far in the tank for global warming that they can't afford to have any opposing view get through. Similar to the WOT it must be lost or they will forever lose face and viability as a national party.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

So the earth's average temperature is up more than 6 degrees on average since last weekend?

[Sterm26]

This just shows how incredibly stupid and obtuse these globala fanatics are. Why do they make these doomsday predictions in mid-winter? They should at least wait until July!

[SquirrelKing]

Yeah, but the left doesn't need facts...they've got ideology!

Right. Also: they don't need facts, they have consensus.

As if consensus makes for science.

[CharacterCounts]

As if consensus makes for science.

THis is what bothers me when people say a consensus of scientist agree that human induced global warming is taking place. I don't think a real scientist, using the scientific method, would ever agree that a consensus proves anything.
