The danger of climate denial - It's no laughing matter

The danger of propaganda.

[anoldafvet]

If you are in the military and a denier, it is also “ conduct unbecoming”.

[JaguarXKE]

It is impossible to make any serious response to this claptrap!

The environmental movement is the last refuge of the hard core communist. When Marxism collapsed and the occidentals weren't welcome to nor did they embrace Maoism, the best resting place for massive, society-altering change is environmental activism.

"Global Warming" is an industry in which some serious big-money people have invested some serious big money. The public better buy this swindle, or the serious big-money people -- many of whom aren't very nice -- are going to be very mad

The Baltimore Sun - I used to read that rag almost fifty years ago when I was stationed back that way. Some things never change.

I am waiting peer-reviewed research that shows the optimum climate for our biosphere. The first question that would naturally flow would be where is our current climate and trend in relation to this finding.

Strangely, nobody seems interested in this vital comparison. Not so strangely, the solutions that are frequently demanded in the most urgent voice, all converge on a socialist worldview: statism, bigger government, higher taxes, less personal liberty, even fewer people. That bigger picture tells me all that I need to know about “climate science”.

Lol!

For some real-world evidence of climate change, you could point to the wonderful tourist must-see destination at Mesa Verde, the largest national park of its kind. That park exists due to climate change that no person dedicated to rational thought would attribute to human activity.

With respect to the idea that humans are causing harmful changes to the climate at this very moment, I am waiting for some peer-reviewed papers that propose what the optimum climate is for our biosphere. The first question that would naturally flow would be where is our current climate and trend in relation to this finding.

I would like to personally thank all of you people that influence the climate. Thanks to you, the lake by my house is full again.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

HA! X 1000

[polymuser]

Kids (still) say the darndest things!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

That old VRWC strikes again.

bttt

[Cincinatus' Wife]

It’s done to keep us in “a state of fear.”

Trouble is we don’t need or want their help, so we’re deniers who must be silenced for the good of the masses.

[Sir Napsalot]

What brought this up? Not because there’re ‘deniers’ out there.

Staff at Baltimore Sun was mad, because Obama CHOSE to address CG graduates about the dire dangers they would face - Global Warming (Climate Change).

Even they know in their hearts that is stretching. Hence this LOL article.

Here’s to Jihad on the OZONE!

"Lysenkoism is used metaphorically to describe the manipulation or distortion of the scientific process as a way to reach a predetermined conclusion as dictated by an ideological bias, often related to social or political objectives."

[theBuckwheat]

For those who deny climate change is real, all you have to do is consider that the settlement of the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde became abandoned when a pervasive drought destroyed farming in that area about 1300 AD, long before Al Gore sounded the alarm.

I am awating sound research showing the optimum climate for our present biosphere. All I see in what passes for research on the climate is an attempt to secure the optimum level of government intrusion in our lives.

It is no surprise that almost every demand made by advocates of global warming converges on bigger government, higher taxes, less freedom and more restrictions on how we choose to live our lives. That tells me all I need to know about this massive fraud.

Earth’s climate system is so massive and so complicated that the “scientist” can only make Vegas style guesses and predictions. Actually, it is easier to win a million dollars in Vegas at craps than it is for climate scientists to precisely predict the earth temperatures 1, 5, 10, 20, 100 years from now.

Unfortunately, those same scientists would happily bet Americans livelihood and standard of living on those same predictions of doom and gloom.
