Prosecutions Coming for Global Warming Deniers?

[RiversideGator]

Except I am not the only one who has serious doubts as to your theory.  In fact, a recent poll of Britons showed a significant majority did not believe it was true or as serious as the hype indicates.

You remind of the Catholic Church...whenever Copernicus theorized that the Earth isn't the center of the universe.  Forget the evidence…

Why don't you admit that with the body of evidence you have, that you are still the center of the universe.

Yet another

Gator, pot meet kettle.

You all are so deluded with evidence that came from a government-cooperated report, and as a result, you refuse to look at other legitimate evidence that disputes it. Sounds to me like you guys are pretty equivalent with the Catholic Church...you and your ilk even want to bring back a "Spanish Inquisition" to jail the people who speak "heresy".

Oh my god....Okay.  Step 1.  Answer this question:

The Earth is the center of the universe.  True (T) or False (F).

Be real in your answer.

[Charleston native]

Nice red herring. Won't bite.

[gatorback]

Of course.  I get it now.

Continue projecting your disingenuous manure, gator. That's not what I mean and you know it.

so, dave, we have your thesis.

Still waiting on Rivers, since he just denied that every point he has made over the past two years has anything to do with reality.

We have bridge Trolls.

Just waiting on River.

What would yours be Stephen?

[RiversideGator]

Of course.  I get it now. 

Another straw man argument.  Attempting to equate those who disagree with the premise or extent of man-made global warming with people who thought the Earth was flat and people who thought the Earth was the center of the universe is a logical fallacy.  Rather than attempting to disprove what the individual is saying you merely attempt to lump him in with a group who is easily disproven thereby "winning" the argument.  Sorry but this nonsense wont fly here.  I really would have thought that a UF graduate would know better.

I do not believe that rising CO2 levels will cause temperatures to rise to the extent prophesied by the GW crowd if at all.  I think CO2 may have a minor greenhouse effect but this pales in comparison to other factors such as water vapor and it can be dealt with naturally by the atmosphere with various natural feedbacks.  It is really as simple as that.

Oh and please stop attempting to put words into my mouth.  You need to focus on yourself and formulating a logical, fact based argument.

Find the most far fetched, Chicken Little scenario on any issue and there you will find Stephen boldly stating that the end is nigh.   

[gatorback]

I'm not the one ignoring the body evidence acquired by scientist all over the world.

[RiversideGator]

Neither am I.

[BridgeTroll]

I have already found consensus with you and I am a skeptic.

I do know that we are a surprising species capable of amazing feats of imagination and engineering.

that natural changes will occur that will be catastrophic to our civilization unless we start planning for those changes now.  By this, I mean our city planning, evacuation routes, building policies and trending towards coastal development.

If we are going to live near coasts, that we should take the same measures that californians who live on or near fault lines do.   Our building and infrastructure should begin converting towards dealing with flooding and water.   We had a great case study in New Orleans

reducing emissions, cleaner air etc.  But I support these ideas anyways because the alternatives they support are preferable to our present way of doing things.   We need to never again be held hostage by the middle east--or any other monopolist of energy.  If we can produce all the energy that we need without poisoning the ground or killing things in general, and at the same time return to the rock solid principles of self sufficiency that made this country every good thing that it became, then what the hell are we waiting for?
