Do I need a lawyer yet?

Skip the lawyer, buy a gun.

If the nutball wants to put the skeptics on trial I can only imagine what he wants to do with the deniers.

Liberal movements always criminalize any opposition so no one can question how stupid the idea is. This is what communism is and global warming is another fake idea coming from communism.

Anyone wanna bet David Roberts is a girlie man metrosexual at best?

David Roberts is Grist's assistant editor.
http://www.participate.net/user/davidroberts

David was born and raised in the South. A revelatory summer working in Yellowstone National Park convinced him that it was not the world, but just the part where he lived, that sucked, so he moved out West. After way too many years in Montana pursuing graduate degrees in philosophy (no, really), he was lured out of the academy by the siren song of the heralded internet "boom" -- about six months too late. He was sinking ever further into the Seattle swamp of tech work, having already hit Amazon.com, IMDb.com, and Microsoft, when the fine folks at Grist threw him a life preserver in December 2003. (Total profits from stock options: $57. Meaningful work: priceless.)

He now spends his free time playing in his new house with his new sons and his not-so-new but still-wonderful wife. He loves them, loves Seattle, loves Grist, and still, despite himself, loves the internet.

David Roberts is now calling for trials for war-crimes trials for people who express doubts that global warming is caused by man.

I don't believe one ****** word of it! Come get me Roberts. And arm yourself.

Sometimes I wish there were more personal accountability for decisionmakers in our system. I mean, beyond merely losing their offoces or influence when they are proven wrong.

For example, those people who would keep us from listening in on conversations between terrorists should be held responsible when they get their way and we then suffer a catastrophic terrorist attack that could have been prevented.

The government can make life living hell for anyone in the private sector who gets caught playing accounting games to mislead people. But what about people in government who play accounting games? Beyond the quasi-private Fannie and Freddie stocked with government people like Jamie Gorelick, what about the people in Virginia State government who must have known that tax revenues were coming in very nicely while elected leaders were pushing for a HUGE tax increase to "save" Virginia's bond rating from being downgraded.

Anyone in VA State government knows the drill. You often get a really nice raise after a big tax increase is sold to the taxpayers. If you know revenues are pouring in, do you shout it from the rooftops and nix any chance of a nice fat pay raise? (And perhaps lose your job for revealing confidential government info without authorization).

It's reflective of the government education system that the average man would agree that the communist systems of the USSR, Cuba, Eastern Europe, etc. were all oppressive, freedom-somethering governments; yet they can't see the similarities between those policies and those of the American liberals.

News: San Diego Padre David Roberts will likely file for free agency this month.

Hello ;-)
....Scriptures teach that....God spoke. ;-)

Ps. 46:6 says...
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, and the earth melted.

Read the first 3 verses of Psalm 46. They say a bit more about this orb we are floating around on.
Psalm 47 speaks of the earth as His and He is the King.
Psalm 65 talks about His abundant favor to the earth.


The wisdom of God is available to His children.

The world thinks God's wisdom is foolishness.
But that's okay....They'll learn in due time.

Well, I guess the 17,000 scientists that signed their name to a petition stating that they believe global warming is bogus had better go retain lawyers. Since the government only gives grants to studies that "prove" global warming is real, they're probably doing other work anyway.

[Velveeta]

Yoo-hoo...David Roberts...please come and lock me up.

I'm sitting here watching the snowflakes drift by my window in mid-October.

Global warming.
Right.
Feh.

[unlearner]

People of David Roberts' ilk along with their enablers, like Bill Moyers, ought to be locked away because they are either insane or criminal in their blatant promotion of fascism.

[wayoverontheright]

I debate this issue all the time with my liberal brother.

Here are questions he cannot answer:

1-Every grade-schooler knows that CO2 is absorbed by plant life. If CO2 is the problem, why does NO ONE in the global warming crowd propose the mass planting of more trees and fauna? (Answer: planting more trees does nothing to harm capitalism).

2-How did the Vikings enjoy decades of farming on Greenland, if it wasn't warmer then than now?

3-How do you RULE OUT solar activity as a cause of warming on Earth in light of the fact that Mars is warming? (Libs, when confronted with this question, many times will concede that they DON'T rule out solar activity-CHECKMATE!)

4-If man-made CO2 is the culprit, how do you explain the fact that, of the approximately .8 degree increase during the twentieth century, three-fourths of the rise occurred prior to 1940?

I have a crawl space in my ceiling that you can hide in if necessary. You must be quiet, not a sound out of you.
