I think that, instead of worrying about silly things like pollution and all that, scientists should be trying to stop volcanic eruptions. Talk about spewing pollution straight into the atmosphere!

Exactly what the discussion needs -- more light, less heat.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

In the early and mid '80s I participated in high school and (briefly) college debate. For those unfamiliar with this activity, much of it revolves around researching the esoteric nonsense and coming up with arguments that provide the biggest "impact" (effect, e.g. number of bodies you can pile up). I realized there are all sorts of tried and true arguments that appear year after year because they are familiar and are used to argue that whatever the other side wants to do causes war, depression, nuclear war, and all sorts of horrible deaths.

Anyway, global warming has been a mainstay in academic debate competitions for many years, at least since the mid '70s. This is because people like Paul Ehrlich wrote books and articles that give good sound bites, exactly the "evidence" debaters are interested in. As a debater, I didn't care if published sources that I used for evidence made any sense; all I cared about was whether it existed. If the affirmative team was arguing an anti-poverty initiative, for example, I wanted to find a way to link that policy with nuclear war. As dumb as that sounds, it was often easy to do so -- precisely because the idiots screaming about global warming are fanatics who write great debate evidence, but little else.

Global warming has only been at the periphery of mainstream news for a decade (if that) or so. I've know about global warming theories for over 20 years. It was BS then, and its BS now. To the extent it exists, man has virtually nothing to do with it.

If NASA wasted less time worrying about this crapola, maybe our space shuttles wouldn't be exploding in midair.
