Look at all these knuckleheads. Crying about so-called "global warming" when they're out marching in the snow. It's almost May! What a bunch of loons. Take this nonsense back to China where it started.
Sincerely,
The vast majority of Republican officeholders across the country.
You are a perfect example of the ostrich brains discussed in the article
Sincerely,
69% of the American population, including voters gerrymandered out of representation by Republican office holders
Pseudonymous’s comment was tongue-in-cheek, unlike AC’s below it.
Get a brain, morans!
Nice Global Warming Photo perfectly capturing your resident left wing loons out for a walk on a nice spring day in the mountain west.
You nailed it, Psuedo and Carolannie. Thanks for proving them right, AC. So predictable.
Hey, if it's true that AC works at a conservative think tank, then his corporate culture makes him deny climate change. They would stamp "poor fit" on his forehead and a shoe print on his butt, the minute he put a toe out of line.
Lucy: AC does not work at a conservative think tank. I do find humor in global warming protests being snowed out in April. I haven't laughed this hard since the boat protesting the shrinking glaciers of Antarctica had to be rescued by icebreakers because it was frozen in ice. Ya can't make this stuff up.
Perfect explanation of why you (and other non-scientists) confuse weather (e.g. snow) with climate change (increasing energy injected into the atmosphere via heat-trapping gases leading to vastly more damaging storms).
I'm sure you'll also be laughing your ass off when a tornado rips the roof off your home one day.
Exxon Knew about Climate Change almost 40 years ago
You cannot make up how proudly morons parrot moronic blather and display their profound stupidity like a moronic beacon for fellow morons to see.
Doesn’t look snowed-out to me.
And at any rate, I suppose you think the 80-degree weather we had a couple weeks ago is typical for April.
Okay, I’ll stop feeding the troll now.
What else would you expect the stoners and homeless to do on any Saturday? Ever wonder why Denver is always one of the cities to field a protest team? Ample supply of social misfits.
Yeah, all my friends who marched who own houses, pay their taxes, and are gainfully employed. Gotta love misfits
And can probably spell "America" and "morons" correctly.
I actually worry about what PP is gainfully employed in doing.
I hope it's not assessing the psychology of job applicants and people caught in the legal system.
Because it sounds like he thinks if you are dissatisfied with the status quo in any way, you have low emotional intelligence. It sounds like he thinks if you're not cheerfully obedient, you are psychologically damaged.
Someone who thinks like that could do serious damage to the chances of someone looking for a job or a second chance in life.
Because anybody who wants their government and society to do better is a social misfit, eh PP? The way you prove you're an upstanding, socially healthy person is to just meekly accept whatever our leaders do, eh PP?
The science is settled, AC. The climate will continue to warm weather you choose to deny reality or not. Luckily, fossil fuels are on their way out, whether you like it or not.
25 degrees and snow + hard freeze in Colorado with floods from Amarillo to Chicago and 90 degree weather in DC, simultaneously, sure sounds like climate change to me.
Actually, to me, that sounds like weather!
Never ceases to amaze how willing AC is to flaunt his ignorance.
What else does he have to flaunt?
The problem is, he doesn't see it as ignorance. He thinks his knowledge is superior and we're the ignorant ones.
Flew right over his head.
Sy-unce probably wasn't Gerbils' best subject in school (assuming it was even offered — more likely potions and spells)
Now, now, Davie, as my wife often reminds me: Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
True — and we seem to be branching off into two societies – skeptics that understand science and critical thinking, vs. cynics that believe in magical/wishful/self-reinforcing thinking regardless of facts.
The division is growing but there is some overlap. The segment that embraces science on climate change has a faith-based aversion to GMOs, for instance. Likewise, climate change believers usually have a faith-based opposition to nuclear power that treats an old Jane Fonda movie as biblically inerrant.
Fair points. I'm somewhere in the middle I suppose. While I think GMO's are probably the only thing keeping the world from widespread famine, my non-expert skepticism leads me to hope that we don't narrow our food's genetic diversity to leave it vulnerable to a single source of production, or disease.
As for conventional nuclear power, just gotta remember the waste generated ain't going away in our lifetime (or 25 generations hence). So the responsibility on us is to not preclude the options of many generations to come. Clean Nuke is about like Clean Coal… Nice idea, but practically and economically non-feasible. Thorium nukes are still kicking around, but I haven't seen much progress, much less government support. Wind and solar with battery storage systems should eventually advance enough to take on a greater load on the grid. Actually, home and shared neighborhood power generation should reduce the need to rely on the aging power grid as well.
The middle is where you need to be on gmos. You can recognize their immense potential without applauding drowning millions of acres in roundup poisons.
As for nukes, my frustration with enviros is that that they go full pschyo to outlaw safe storage sites like yucca mountain, then oppose nukes for lack of safe storage. When arrested for murdering their parents, they also ask mercy from the court because they are orphans!
There is no "safe storage" for nuclear waste … There are spots that can be developed to be much safer, and that MAY be good enough risk prevention to be worthwhile.
Standard anthropology puts modern humans on North America for something like 14,000 years. The effort to contain nuclear waste in salt deposits is engineered for 10,000 years. WIPP storage, near Carlsbad, NM, is the relevant example. The first waste arrived there in 1999 — after nearly 30 years of development (including some work by my father). As it is filled up, there already have been at least a couple of accidents, leading to a nearly 3 year closure. It is expected to be filled up by sometime in the 2030s — at which point it will be sealed off, entombed in salt. Once sealed, the site will be safer than it is now … but they are trying to figure out warnings that will be meaningful for longer than humans have had a written language.
There are other things much more threatening, but claiming nuclear power — based on current technology for energy production and waste disposal — is "clean" is a fantasy.
The point is that anti-nuke hysteria has made NIMBYism our nuclear policy. For a successful policy, look at France — thanks to nukes it is far ahead of us on carbon. The other plan would be to stick the waste up Trump's ass, right next to his head.
I do agree no energy is wholly clean. Solar panels produce toxic waste, windmills kill birds, hydro has poor effects on rivers. But Jane Fonda never made a movie about those, so the left has not gone hysterical.
