I just want people to be realistic about this shit. For fuck's sake, I was reading the other day about a giant sinkhole opening up in...I dunno, wasn't the US so who cares? And what was one of the theories people suggested? Global warming was to blame!
Global warming is to blame for everything! Global warming shot my father.
Hottest month in recorded history? Going back to when, exactly? 1880 something? Like we had good instruments back then and we had a reliable way to test ocean temperatures back then? Reminds me of the article I read once that said we are seeing a record number of hurricanes in the entire world and what was to blame? Global warming. Never mind the fact that we have much better technology now than we did 100 years ago and can see more hurricanes in the middle of the ocean, we can see them now therefore it's global warming!
John Christy, a "Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science and Director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville" and "was appointed Alabama's state climatologist in 2000", says "
The temperature records cannot be relied on as indicators of global change" because he believes many of these stations have been compromised for various reasons.
Also for once I would love to read a report from a climatologist telling us exactly what we have to do in order to save the world. We're on page 128 of this thread now, has such a report ever been linked to? Instead it's always the same thing "Man bad. Man destroy planet. Man must be stopped." That's it. Where are the specifics? Do we have to reduce carbon emissions by one fourth? By one half? By three fourths? By when? Do we have until the year 2100? 2050? 2020?
You're beyond silly if you think there are no Democrats who believe in creationism.
