Why is it where I live now, I don't even have to own a set of chains, yet there are chain installation zones all over the highway that I drive on? Really weird.

Chit, we used washable diapers for both munchkins. Does that mean we're environmentalists?

Speaking for myself, I don't particularly want the earth to get colder.

Hundreds of millions, minimum. Just ask Al Gore.

Good question. We know Al Gore made somewhere around $150 million in 2014.

Crichton is fully informed on the latest science and has a brilliant mind. He gives very cogent and thoughtful reasons why the leftist hand-wringing over global warming is out of all proportion to any real possible harm.

Well worth listening too. Too bad Crichton died in 2008. The pursuit of rationality in science and politics could use him today.

You mean the guy who was into clairvoyance and astral projection, etc???

I find it amusing that Havard is the epicenter of liberalism and elitism to the Right....until someone from there 'validates' a conservatives worldview... grin


You haven't learned a thing, have you? The first statement is classic ad hominem.

As to the second, I find it amusing that conservative environmental opinions are nothing more than the product of an anti-science, anti-rational political agenda---until a
card carrying secular liberal intellectual validates those conservative environmental opinons, at which point the previously revered secular-liberal intellectual suddenly becomes an clairvoyant, astral-projecting nut case.

Once again, your complete inability to respond on the merits loudly trumpets the impotence of your position. Thank you for acknowledging (yet again!) that you're in over your head. grin


Ahh, Jordan...

Still haven't figured out what a ad hominem attack is yet, eh? MC opinions are just that....where are his scientific papers refuting the evidence? BTW, I tend to agree that some of the 'hysteria' over AGW is just that. Even scientists still debate the ramifications and extended predictive models...none of which invalidates the existing evidence.

Also, YOU are the one who used the term 'nut case', I merely remarked on the incongruence of your statement on rationality and MC's own views... smile

Please read his book 'Travels' and get back to us (hint: it ain't like Anthony Bourdain!).

You might even be amused! laugh


It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

Climate change is an ongoing process. It will always be changing just like the weather is always changing.

For a little perspective there was a great big forest 10,000 years ago at what is now the bottom of the North Sea.

The idea we can some how manipulate the climate through regulating our energy consumption is just a farce to enrich select few at the expense of many.

climate is changing always has been, before man and when man is gone it will continue to evolve, I remember when I was very young they talked about an ice age and that another would come again.
Mans effect on it is the same as poking your finger into the sea and then pulling it out, there is no trace left and does not amount to any measurable change to the sea.
