....and automatically accept the guilt of humanity without applying any critical thinking to the assertions no matter how stupid.
The problem is not that the number is wrong, it is that it is meaningless. A more meaningful statement is that the CO2 has increased along with the increase in temperature and the industrial revolution. The increase in CO2 has created some further warming, the proportion is unknown and unknowable and man's proportion is probably trivial.
I think it isn’t so much that they are stupid as they lack the critical thinking skills. They absorb this stuff without asking basic questions. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people go on about corporations bent on polluting for profits. Those type of corporations may exist but I certainly don’t know of anyone who starts out with the goal of polluting for profit. I would imagine that most companies go out of their way to avoid anything that might cause them legal headaches. This populist environmentalism has been driven into the heads of children over and over again and it isn’t surprising that it is bearing fruit.
What did I do wrong? I clicked the download button and I downloaded a 665 byte file with the extension .gvp.
The most monumentally ignorant and unstatesmanlike hysterical statement a politician can make today.
No further comment is necessary.
That is because the scientific underpinnings for the "report" had to be "tweaked" to agree with the previously issued political report...
Most progressives and other moonbats don't even have a clue how small 1 ml is... in comparison to the other 2,400,000 ml in the example given.
Look up the word "sophistry".
Last I checked, the natural contribution of the nasty compounds you refer to were not 99.975%... as it is for CO2
Right click on the Downlad button (i.e. button 3, not button 1 on your rodent) to bring up a menu then select "Save target as ..."
I am using Opera under linux but I am sure that the same technique will work with any of the browsers in Windows. the words "save target as ..." may be something else like "save link as ..." but the principle is the same.
The download progress dialog will show that it is fetching a file with extension .avi
To be persuasive, this movie (which is over an hour long) has to be capable of being viewed with the audience sitting in comfortable chairs in their living rooms or recreation rooms.
So the movie has to be converted to a DVD disk image. Linux has a neat little collection of command line utilities to do this and if you are using linux please let me know by private mail and I will tell you the utilities and the method to use. I am confident that there is a Windows utility somewhere that will do the same thing, but I tend to avoid windows like the plague so you are on your own there unless there is a windows geek reading this thread who can help you.
My son uses Windows so it is on my dual boot system but the only time that I boot into it is for the purpose of cleaning out the malicious code that inevitably and naturally accumulates while my son is using the system.
Thank God for Free Republic. I was absolutely inundated this morning with Global Warming this Global Warming that all over the morning news....it was almost unbearable, how shrill the media has got.
We already know that the coming report -- the fourth by the UN in 15 years -- will say that maximum projected temperatures over the next century will not be nearly as high as projected in the last report in 2001; that man has contributed less to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than originally thought; and that sea level rise will be only a few inches, rather than the several feet once thought.A few inches, perhaps down from five inches; and several feet must refer to the 15 to 50 feet figures. :')
