As if Hurricane Sandy wasn't enough, it is followed by Hurricane Al-Gore, that is. predictably, Gore is laying all this at the feet of Global Warming-the giant hoax that has made him a wealthy man.

Sorry, Al. Sandy hardly vindicates you. It doesn't explain all that wealth you have accumulated, plus a fraudulent Oscar and a fraudulent Nobel prize.
Hey Gary,
ReplyDeleteI personally accept the science on global warming, but I understand that you clearly don't. I wonder though, what did you make of that scientist who was funded by the Koch Brothers (hardly a couple of liberals) who concluded that it is, indeed, real?

I don't make anything out of it.
ReplyDeleteThere is little question that the increasing frequency of increasingly powerful storms is directly related to the increase in average global temperature.
ReplyDeleteGary, a true believer in climate change denial, naturally has to ridicule the very notion, or he might have to reconsider his certainty in the face of overwhelming evidence.
Just because Al Gore made a movie doesn't mean the inconvenient facts aren't accurately documented.
Nothing? Not even a "Isn't that curious?" Not even a "Maybe I should look into this a bit more?"
ReplyDeleteHow about a "I wonder what made him change his mind?"
Nothing? Nothing at all?
Let me put it this way, if Al Gore came out as a global warming denier, that wouldn't sway me one way or another. However, I would be interested to at least know WHY he changed his mind.
703,
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how many similar links I get sent to GW believers.
"There is little question that the increasing frequency of increasingly powerful storms is directly related to the increase in average global temperature"
ReplyDeleteWhat are you-a scientist?
"What are you-a scientist?"
ReplyDeleteWould you be more likely to listen to him if he was?
How about this, Gary, would you start believing in global warming if Al Gore became a denier?
No Gary, I am a well-informed citizen of the republic. Since our leaders are chosen by a broad plebiscite of citizens, not for their professional degrees or inherited nobility, my public school education included a good general science background, which I have supplemented throughout my life by individual reading.
ReplyDeleteI knew about Arrhenius decades before Al Gore made his movie.
If you want to propose a modified Platonic Republic, in which we are governed by a senate of Ph.D's, chosen by acclamation of other Ph.D's, please say so openly and honestly.
Otherwise, informed citizens who take the responsibility of the franchise seriously will take care to study what experts in various fields can tell us, and on what basis, but will not subject ourselves to rule by experts.
I always expect that a true expert can explain their expert opinion in language that the whys and wherefores, if not the technical details, are evident to me as an well-read non-expert. Global warming (supported by an overwhelming consensus of all relevant scientific disciplines), passes that test.
You are in denial, pure and simple, because you don't want to believe Al Gore could be right twice a day.
And by the way Gary, are YOU a scientist, to cavalierly dismiss, so definitively, the evidence that there IS a connection between more and bigger storms, and higher global temperatures?
ReplyDeleteSiarlys,
ReplyDeleteYes, it's Bull.
I would say that I'd doubt that Gary would be so cavalier if he was living on the East Coast right now, but I have a feeling that he'll stick to this opinion no matter what happens.
ReplyDeleteWell, you can't reason somebody out of something that they were never reasoned into in the first place. It seems to me that Gary's opinion is based more on a hatred of Al Gore rather than anything else.
703,
ReplyDeleteIt's not just Al Gore. What about that scandal in East Anglia university? before you turn the whole world and our own economy upside down in the name of fighting Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever the nom de jour is, you better prove conclusively what you are talking about. This is not-as Gore says- settled fact.
The scandal? You mean the one where they were cleared of any wrongdoing? Is that the best you have?
