That was hilarious, thanks. The punch line:
"Meanwhile, Europeans can rest assured. The Gulf Stream will change its course only if some evil magic robs it of power to reach the north—but Mother Nature is unlikely to do that."

Runners up:
"This is my point, which environmentalists hotly dispute as they cling to the hothouse theory. As we know, hothouse gases, in particular, nitrogen peroxide, warm up the atmosphere by keeping heat close to the ground." ???

"The classic hothouse effect scenario is too simple to be true."

But what's not too simple to be true? Let's find out:

"Carbon dioxide cannot be bad for the climate. On the contrary, it is food for plants, and so is beneficial to life on Earth."

Sounds very technical. Tell me more...

It's astonishing how Buckaroo's lacking justification is following his decision already made and he is trying so desperately to find something that says what he wants to hear. Usually opinions follow justification and research, but I guess Buckaroo didn't get that memo.

The other astonishing thing is how unabashed he is in sharing his quest for justification with us in a public place

I don't know, I guess I'm not as interested in psychoanalyzing Buckaroo as you are. I find the articles more entertaining than the messenger.

Next year it'll be Global Stagnation. It's all a scam to get more money out of you the victim and lemming.

Buckaroo, can you truly not see that you have gone completely insane? Quoting stories from the Russian News and Information Agency? That say things like, "Carbon dioxide cannot be bad for the climate. On the contrary, it is food for plants, and so is beneficial to life on Earth"?

I hope you and ebuddy are right. But your arguments are just astoundingly bad.

Yeah, I should stop. I suppose I'm starting to sound like Kevin. It's just really bizarre, but perhaps some things are best not understood!

I do wonder how long it will be before Buckaroo calls us all wackos though

[besson3c]

It would be really interesting if global warming was a big conspiracy or scam or something, and hell knows that I always love taking a position contrary to conventional wisdom, but I just can't here... It just seems too far-fetched that scientists from all over the world that are not funded by energy companies are all agreeing on this in some big coordinated global conspiracy where the shifty scientists try to fool us for no apparent reason!

[Uncle Skeleton]

Group-think doesn't need a reason. It's like a blind watchmaker.

You natural climate change deniers are all the same. All poopy-butt stink faces.

Hehe... he can't make a good case which accounts for why we are, he just feels it in his gut, damnit!

[peeb]

But if you look closely at the Apollo footage, you can see a sound boom in some of the shots!

And yet...the first six months of 2007 were the second-hottest on record. I haven't seen the results for the full year yet, but in a shocking turn of events your article doesn't mention "numbers", choosing to completely ignore the concepts of "climate change" and "extreme weather" and instead cherry-pick individual weather events.

Don't worry Greg, the random article he posts tomorrow will, just you wait!

Perhaps he has a "Google random article that supports my already formed opinion" tickler in his iCal?

I still prefer to call it "Global Climate Change" versus "Global Warming". Every ten years or so the term changes anyway, and at least 'Change' is non-specific to the direction of change, because someday it will get very cold again. Then warm. Then cold, etc..

to paraphrase Archie Bunker
It's in the Boston Globe(Nat. Enquirerer), owned by the "newspaper of record" The NY Times, so it must be true.

Keep smoking those cigarettes, ebuddy. A few pages back I said that 99% of the people denying global warming also deny evolution, think the world is 300 years old and flat, etc. I'd forgotten to mention that they don't think smoking is linked to cancer. Sorry, but there are some positions that are so ridiculous that I don't want to bother arguing against them.

[Uncle Skeleton]

Tie, your personal vendetta is getting pretty tired. Maybe you can carry out the rest of it in private.
