    Anyone who bucks the data will get challenged, for sure. That is just the way it works.

    what exactly do you know about the climate? how much is the sea level going to rise in the next 100 years? (i think the estimate is less than 15 inches, which wont exatly sink manhattan) how much hotter will it be? just how drastic is the situation?

    and how can you know that the hardship to humans caused by our countermeasures (which will not work) will be less than the warming? you simply cant know this.

    but left wing liberals, they claim to understand everything, enough to justify their manipulating of complex systems they are more likely to screw up than fix. they dont give a damn about the suffering they cause, which is ok, i wouldnt either, but at least i would be honest and admit that it was my guilty human conscience i was trying to fix, and not global warming.

    Yes, we know how you feel. Just stop trying to feel my pain when I feel none whatsoever.

    It's all political diatribe and shallow philosophical soundbytes to you. It's reality and science to me. Pick your poison.

    thats nice, but you didnt answer my questions.

    how much hotter will it get? so much that we should worry? how much will the seal level rise? how soon? enough that we need to worry? you act like these are loony questions, but they are the exact questions you should ask before you favor things like cap and trade.

    how can you know that the economic damage done to people will be less than the unchecked warming?

    again, this is all very selfish of the left. there are peopel in the world who are desperate to get their countries developed, people who really need the economy to do well, so much more than we do. we are loaded, we dont give a damn, we invent things to worry about. and that would be fine, but our stupid concerns slow the growth of the global economy, and this truly wrecks the lives of the poor. but who cares! as long as lefty calms his guilty conscience, right!

    Hypothetically, who would become a vegetarian for 1 year if that meant LSU winning another National Championship in Football.

    6 Months?
    1 Month?
    ................I could do a month.
