Most Republicans have college educations plus advanced degrees which prohibit us from engaging in BS.

Speaking of suspect statistics...

Try asking your liberal buddies to name the four biggest components in the air they are currently breathing. I tried this with my son the CS major.

He was shocked to learn that CO2 is fifth (and a very tiny fraction at that) ... behind N2, O2, H2O, and Argon.

(BTW, the H2O component may be less than Argon - depending on temperature/humidity.)

Actually, he was too dumb to graduate. He only spent a year studying divinity and journalism at Vanderbilt, but didn't complete the program.

He graduated with a B.A. in government from Harvard. His time at Vandy was a waste, I guess. He even did time in law school there.

We used to say, 30 years ago before Global Warming, that we should wait until 15 May to set out the plants when the last danger of frost was past. There was frost this morning, ice on the small pond.

Coming to us from Alaska, where summer is the month when you can see actual dirt.

“Most Republicans Discount Global Warming”

Oddly, so do the actual scientific observations.

The Argo System oceanic temperature probes indicate that ocean temperatures have actually been decreasing slightly in the past several years.
Argo System ocean temperature probes
Given that ocean temperatures are regarded as a main indicator of AGW, what the Argo System is showing is that PC AGW is a hoax.

It almost seems to break down 100%: conservatives deny any significant Anthropogenic Global Warming ™, whereas lefties have the faith of a religion in AGW™.

 




Beam me to Planet Gore !

Al Gore graduated from divinity school... need I say more.

As others have noted, Al flunked out of divinity school.

As far as science is concerned, he seems to be a blockhead.

I hear ya. Its been cold, windy and always gloomy here in Indy. We are going to be lucky to have a 2 1/2 month summer this year. Gardens are about the same as they were when planted.

A pity they don't prohibit you from engaging in snobbery.

Fifty-four percent of people under age 30 believe that the earth is warming mostly because of human activity, compared with 37 percent of those ages 65 and older

Which means the academy is doing a fine job of brainwashing. The notion that warming is "mostly because of human activity" is simply nonsense.

Used to have family that lived in Anderson. We aren’t too far away.

Well, I guess you know what I mean by the weather.
