There are a lot of wacos and wakos out there, so it's conceivable that **** could be made up.
Religion is the race's first (and worst) attempt to make sense of reality. It was the best the species could do at a time when we had no concept of physics, chemistry, biology or medicine. Hitchens.

Anyway, I already replied to this article in another thread, where I supposed you copied it from.

NOW PREPARE FOR 'DANGEROUS GLOBAL COOLING'

The mud at the bottom of B.C. fjords reveals that solar output drives climate change - and that we should prepare now for dangerous global cooling

Yet you pop in here and post an article that has to do with fjords!

Too little, too late: Gore blames scientists for climate crisis

Too little, too late: Gore blames scientists for climate crisis - Independent Online Edition > Climate Change

In an extraordinary outburst aimed at America's failure to tackle global warming, Al Gore says that if scientific agreement on the climate crisis had been reached sooner it would have been easier to "galvanise the public and persuade Congress to act".


This moron will never give up on his lies. He is a true blue liar politician.

I think that if I had called you a moron as many times as you have called Gore a moron I would have been banned from these forums long ago. Good thing I restrained myself...

Sometimes I goof and don't read the whole thing. I'll have to take a look at the story.

Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny


Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Other Views

I haven't read the whole article, but I've read enough to see that Gore is an idiot. He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

"Many of the assertions Gore makes in his movie, ''An Inconvenient Truth,'' have been refuted by science, both before and after he made them. Gore can show sincerity in his plea for scientific honesty by publicly acknowledging where science has rebutted his claims."

What's your point, buck? Now you believe in man-made climate change? Is it just because America isn't implicated by this article, is that why you believe it?

Remember Global Cooling?

Remember Worries About Global Cooling? - Newsweek Technology - MSNBC.com



In April, 1975, in an issue mostly taken up with stories about the collapse of the American-backed government of South Vietnam, NEWSWEEK published a small back-page article about a very different kind of disaster. Citing "ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically," the magazine warned of an impending "drastic decline in food production." Political disruptions stemming from food shortages could affect "just about every nation on earth." Scientists urged governments to consider emergency action to head off the terrible threat of . . . well, if you had been following the climate-change debates at the time, you'd have known that the threat was: global cooling.

I would like to believe that we've learned just a smidge more about climatology and the effects of pollution in 32 years, but you have to get credit for popping in every once in a while to post another link, and then running.

We certainly have learned a great deal about climatology and the effects of pollution in 32 years and hopefully, we'll learn a great deal more in the next 32 years. Personally, I'd like to see a little less "urging government" and a little more "urging science". Who knows, it may not take another 32 years to turn our current understanding on its head.

The point to remember, says Connolley, is that predictions of global cooling never approached the kind of widespread scientific consensus that supports the greenhouse effect today. And for good reason: the tools scientists have at their disposal now—vastly more data, incomparably faster computers and infinitely more sophisticated mathematical models—render any forecasts from 1975 as inoperative as the predictions being made around the same time about the inevitable triumph of communism. Astronomers have been warning for decades that life on Earth could be wiped out by a collision with a giant meteorite; it hasn't happened yet, but that doesn't mean that journalists have been dupes or alarmists for reporting this news. Citizens can judge for themselves what constitutes a prudent response-which, indeed, is what occurred 30 years ago.

Bullshit. The Global Warning scientist are using a broken program with bad data to predict global warming. No one really knows the truth. They can't even predict the weather right.

It's all smoke and mirrors for an excuse to stop prog
