Scientists on here!

We have some yip-yaps on here filling glasses with water and ice to see if the glass will overflow!

Now, I would just say this for those who have problems with thought patterns:

Get yourself into a tub, fill it then with water with you already in it--to the brim.
Now, get out, fill it to the brim and then get back in.
Which time overflows?

The ice in the North is out of the water, isn't it? Except when it melts!

By the way, don't eat pork, or cloven hoofs, or let women vote, and no meat on Friday (whenever Friday is), and do not kill--except when I say you can, force women to have 20-30 babies just in case one might be aborted, don't wear no lipstick or make-up since men may jump you, don't "bob" your hair, women--makes you look like a man, take a rod (copper) and staff (Gopher wood) to kids when you get angry, (Old Testament, but we use it when it is inconvenient), don't want your neighbor's wife--down the street, OK, wives, don't want a man anytime, and this could go on but you get the idea, don't you?

Al Gore is a politician who somehow managed to win a Nobel Peace Prize. Ivar Giaever is a Nobel Laureate in Physics. When it comes to global warming one has said, “If we allow this to happen, it would be deeply and unforgivably immoral. It would condemn coming generations to a catastrophically diminished future.” The other asserted, “I am a skeptic. … Global warming has become a new religion.”

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who said what here, although one of these guys is much closer to being a rocket scientist while the other merely pretends to be one. More importantly, Ivar Giaever is only one of 650 dissenting scientists who are taking their case to the United Nations global warming conference in Poznan, Poland.

The Senate Minority Report, to be released later today,

“has added about 250 scientists (and growing) in 2008 to the over 400 scientists who spoke out in 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.”

The growing skepticism is only one of many reasons why the United States shouldn’t agree to any global carbon reduction treaty. The fact that cutting greenhouse gas emissions would be extremely costly and would insignificantly affect global temperatures are pretty convincing reasons, too. The Congressional Budget Office reports that a mere 15 percent cut in emissions would increase the annual average household’s energy costs by $1,300. And Obama wants to cut emissions by 80 percent? Yikes.

Also frightening is the stranglehold global warming alarmists and environmental activists have on the political message. George Mason economist Walter Williams says,

“The average individual American has little or no clout with Congress and can be safely ignored. But it’s a different story with groups such as Environmental Defense Fund, Sierra Club and The Nature Conservancy. When they speak, Congress listens. Unlike the average American, they are well organized, loaded with cash and well positioned to be a disobedient congressman’s worse nightmare. Their political and economic success has been a near disaster for our nation.”

Some of the quotes released from the skeptic scientists in the Senate Minority Report are very telling. Former NASA official, atmospheric scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson declared,

“Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical.”

Paleontologist Dr. Eduardo Tonni, of the Committee for Scientific Research in Buenos Aires emphasized,

“The [global warming] scaremongering has its justification in the fact that it is something that generates funds.”

2008 has turned out to be a year of global cooling and much of the doomsday talk has dissolved. It’s vitally important to understand the science before we embark on a plan that would mean doomsday for our economy. Heritage energy expert Ben Lieberman sums it perfectly,

“[F]ear is two-edged sword. It can be used to whip up support for action over the near term, but it is hard to sustain for long, especially if it is not well supported by fact. Eventually it could lead to a backlash. Indeed, the global-warming doomsayers may well prove to be their own worst enemy, with their credibility taking a tumble along with the prospects for cap-and-trade legislation.”

You should be aware that someone over at the Heritage Foundation (a particularly nasty right-wing think tank) has stolen your words in the above post and are publishing them as their own. They've even "back dated" it to make it seem like they wrote the piece! LINK

If you like, I'll contact the Heritage Foundation on your behalf and ask them to take down their obvious plagiarization of your work or to at least give you credit.

Stupid rightwing think tanks obviously don't have any respect for the law!

Your friend,
Sniffles

p.s. Cal, is there anything you can do to make these places cease stealing your readers' contributions?

Hey could you possibly argue the points.. stop being a good little democrat for a moment and stop trying to smear the other person.. You guys almost have it down to a science.. if you can not argue a valid point with facts and logic.. you attack their integrity.. I never said I wrote it.. Just wanted to point it out to Bonk that there are Scientist that do not agree with Gore.. You never copied "moveon.org" betcha have..
Sarcasim is the tool of the witless.. and you are certainly well equipped for it..
Oh and by the way you never copied anything from Bill Bryson have you..hmmm... somehow reminds me of a proverb about rocks and glass houses.. Now what was that proverb.. oh well it will come to me..

Bonkers.. again your name says it all...
I was going to give you a reasoned agrument, however I just realized that I could spend my 5 minutes running my SUV.. Its getting colder and I need some CO2 to warm me up.. Next week I'm clubing seals.. wanna go?

The ice is melting! For some reason some say no!
Some say yeah it is but it happens every 10,000 years.
It killed out the dinosaurs once, froze out two species of humans once, and got rid of two species of mosquitoes once.
Just let her rip!
Send that wasted pollution prevention money to Rush Limbaugh!
