A music professor at UC: Berkeley says global warming is happening and is manmade! The time for debate is over, you respected climatologists!!!!
“The media snowjob on global warming”
Given the weather we had over the weekend, this is an exceedingly appropriate title.
Global warming is just another liberal grab for power. The leftist lemming will just fall in line and follow these money grabbers right over the Cliff. Really disgusting.
After seeing the snow storms in Ohio and else where... with records cold and snow.. I have heard some people are asking Al gore to get them some global warming..quick
AGW is not science, but approaches a cult of socialism, anti-captilaism, and the religion of Gaea, and the hatred of Western culture.
In short, exactly what they are teaching on campus now..
Hey, boss, the computer SAID it was OK...
There is a bright side to all of this: The AGW cult leaders have REALLY jumped the shark on this whole issue. When winters continue to get colder and colder due to the quiescent solar cycle — which will last years and years — the cold hard facts will debunk the hoax. That’s the kind of shock that it takes to shatter a leftist world view, and the natural reaction will be to swing the other way. (Hence the saying that a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.) In other words, when reality becomes irrefutable, the cultists will feel betrayed and swing to the hard right as a result.
The problem is that this process won’t be fast. Might start really seeing it in 2012, more likely 2016. The question is how much damage will the AGW cult do to freedom and the economies of the West before then?
"Oh--it says 'snowjob!' I'm here by mistake."
To convince the world that there is a serious threat of Global Warming after the winter we just had, is like being able to talk a dog off a meat wagon.
I’m impressed.
>> Shouldn’t that be sow? <<
No, they’re making this up out of whole cloth.
Bttt.
You expect a newspaper columnist to have command of the language that they’re writing in? Where have you been?
I wonder if they made a pair of pants or perhaps a nice warm coat out of the "doubt". Sow is not always a female pig.
I do.
Nailed it!
The one thing that I think would really fracture the MMGW crowd is the publication of the names of the major scientific MMGW advocates in the world.
In essence, saying that “The credibility of these people is at stake.”
Most importantly, it should be noted if they have tried, in any way, to shut down skeptics of their beliefs. This will separate those who are just poor or mistaken scientists, from those who were trying to gain power and wealth from spreading hysteria.
It would accomplish nothing to include the political hacks, scoundrels, and non-scientific speculators in that list, as they neither have nor care about credibility, only their money and power.
But it would be fair warning to those who put their credibility on the line, and who menaced their fellow scientists, that BOTH their credibility is gone in the future, they are in disgrace in the scientific community; and also that their disgrace is irredeemable, because they misused their credentials to attack other scientists.
For the rest of their lives, they must be branded “bad scientists”, and even in their obituaries, it should be said that they ruined their careers *not* by embracing a failed scientific theory, but by persecuting other scientists in its name.
