Man made global warming is real.

No, the irony is that the deniers ask what we can learn from 100 years of collected data, throw out the entire science of Geology, but show up and say "what global warning" every time there is a cold snap.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

Who's denying anything?  All I said is that it's going to be darn cold down here in Sunny Naples Florida tonight.

Actually will be colder tonight than it was in Portland, Maine when I left there yesterday.

Anyone who feels it is appropriate to post the current weather to this thread.

Give me a break.  I responded to a post about snowflurries in Florida.  I have denied nothing.

Hey, dumbass, they're not calling you a "denier".... they're calling me one.

Thanks.


But for serious, I've never argued the warming trend.  I continue to dissent, however, on whether or not humans have any significant effect on it.  It doesn't stop me from doing all the little things to conserve/recycle/etc in my own life, but because I don't goose-step in line with the Al Gore crowd, I'm an evil right-wing Earth hater.

It certainly seemed to me (albeit with 3 hours of sleep the night before thanks to flying home from a blizzard) that they were lumping me in with you.  And that's the last thing anyone wants.  So stuff it, denier.

The real reason the Earth is warming is because I'm keeping her insulated with my testicular sack skin. Like a massive comfy cocoon.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Butchers Bill

I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

That theory has been out there for a while Bill, i saw a special back on Discovery or TLC in 98 maybe earlier about the earth heating up, then having a cold spot, that cold spot would be the beginning of the next ice age.  How thru time the earth goes in repetitive cycles, and that this time around, humans have only sped up the process and killed off countless species
