On the day that the latest report on global warming was released, I went out and bought a light bulb. OK, an environmentally friendly, compact fluorescent light bulb.

By every measure, the U N 's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change raises the level of alarm. The fact of global warming is "unequivocal." The certainty of the human role is now somewhere over 90 percent. Which is about as certain as scientists ever get.
I would like to say we're at a point where global warming is impossible to deny. Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future.

A human brain typically runs at ~25 watts.
That statement is downright homophobic.
Since Ellen's criteria of being on par with a Holocaust denier includes denying the present there are quite a few on her 'team' (liberals) who more than qualify.
Liberals who pretend that they didn't for the war.
Bill Clinton, who denies oral sex is sex
John Kerry, who denies he insulted the military.
Nancy Pelosi, who denies she isn't exhorbitant.
John Edwards ,who denies he's filthy rich.
Dan Rather, who denies he knew the document was fake
Democrats who deny Bush won the election.
According to Ellen, Holocaust deniers all.
Actually, the scientific study has yet to be released. The report issued that sent Ms. Goodman to the hardware store is the UN Bureaucrat's spin on a study that will be released in May. See, this way, the man-made Global Warming acolytes have more than three months to influence public lawmaking and lawmakers before anyone has a chance to see if the science behind the actual study is valid. If any other scientific research were presented this way, it would be rejected out of hand and rightly so.

A twenty watt bulb in a 40 watt socket who thinks she's a spotlight.
No, you're thinking of another liberal(s), Doris Kearnes Goodwin.
Oh that's right but then all liberals look alike! Ha!
You are right, of course. It is a mind numbingly insulting comment. However, my personal goal is to ask the same basic and simple question to every person who argues that man is causing the problem: How did you rule out the Sun as a cause?
I know there are some arguments about temperature increases not occurring in the Stratosphere but these seem to be highly debatable since our database on these measures is very limited. Observations of the polar ice-caps on mars however while lacking in precision do represent a pretty good marker of solar activity and I understand that those polar ice caps are visibly retreating.
If this line of reasoning does not comport to known scientific findings please let me know.
Wow, Ellen Goodman just saved the world. Hurricanes and tornadoes will be things of the past.
Ellen Goodman is like Adolf Hitler.
Is Ellen Goodman still writing? She was a bore 15 years ago.
