so predictable

File this one under:

some "witty quip" or random insult that generally doesn't make sense.

Here are a few reasons why you aren't even beginning to support your opinion.
-You find a random collection of snapshots in time of locations to use as an argument and then choose to ignore global trending data. (See Equation Two)
-You choose random excepts from articles or quotes from people you think can be used to completely debunk the entire argument as opposed to posting a link for people to get the full context.(See Equation One)
-In one thread, you'll argue (well not argue, copy/paste something) about how global warming doesn't exist and is completely fabricated by liberals just so they can spend money. In another, global warming exists but is a natural occurrence not caused by humans.

There are some valid arguments on both sides of the coin for or against human-induced global warming (HIGW). However, I think you don't really understand any of the science on either side of the argument.

I think you've decided that everyone who agrees with the HIGW argument must be a liberal and as such, you're going to argue vehemently (whether it makes sense or not) to try and prove them wrong.

Hmmm... this also makes me think that you don't really understand what a liberal is either. You know that the definition of a liberal isn't "Everyone who disagrees with my narrow-minded view of the world" right?

And maybe some of the biggest promoters and crisis advocates of Global Warming/ Cooling/ Change/ Whatever are also not helping by being the biggest hypocrites. I'm not saying they are wrong, just not ready to sell the farm yet.

Agreed. The above post *is* Al Gore. Today, he's nothing more than the Michael Moore of global warming - someone with too much money that makes films, while probably having some scientific basis, are slanted to further their opinion.

Your post does apply to the other side of the argument as well though.

JD...your constant whining about "cut and paste" and "sources" is really absurd, you will dismiss any "cut and paste" or otherwise that does not agree with your remarkably informed world view regardless of the source....the source will also be dismissed if it does not meet your "standards" (and honestly, who the bleep are you?)...so who is narrow-minded? Nothing more than another way for a libterd to say "shut up".

Merry Christmas (hope that's not offensive)

Nice selective deletion.

Thank you for emphasizing my point - along with pointing out quite a bit of your own hypocrisy - by addressing one abstract part of a post (or two words in this case), ignore the rest and then declare victory.

My dismissal of you're "copy/paste" method of proving a point is because you don't add anything to it, nor give anyone the opportunity to look at the article by posting what the source is. Many of your 'points' are essentially "Read this..... see, you're wrong," with nothing added to it. Add in a couple backhanded insults and that sums up about half your posts.

I dismiss sources when they're commentaries, due to being opinions filled with little supported fact. I don't believe I have blindly dismissed *actual data* as you like to do.

When you get a chance, you're welcome to address the rest of that post, as opposed to just two words within it.

maybe I'll dismiss your commentary due to it being opinions filled with little supported fact....

You'd make a good politician. Ignore and deflect.

[scottw]

I'm too honest to be a poitician...
I live in a house with my wife and three daughters, ignore and deflect is an essential survival skill...


PROOF of GOD.......

what's this???

an extremely rare BILZZARD with record cold and still plunging temperatures at the GLOBAL WARMING conference in what should now be referred to Copenhoaxen ....or perhaps it just coincided with the arrival of the White Witch- Nasty Pelosi....and just to prove that this is not a gathering of Marxists scheming to destroy capitalism and redistribute the worlds wealth... the gathering erupted in standing excited applause as Hugo Chavez quoted Karl Marx and villified capitalism.....

if you don't believe in the existence of God or Marxists, you at least have to appreciate the irony...

I really don't understand why deniers love to post stories of "cold" as discrediting climate change.

Are people actually that gullible?

I'm not talking about Rush Limbaugh fans either...the other people, we already know they're suckers.
