Your Al Gore reference is smoke and mirrors, and completely
irrelevant. The settled science part are your words, not mine, and
completely innaccurate.

Actually, 'The science is settled' is a quote of Algore. He said
it at the Oscars, he's said it on Charlie Rose.

He's said it numerous places.

Please educate yourself wity something other

As I said before, *Al Gore is irrelevant to the actual issue*. He is
only a messenger. To blithely discredit 150 years of long and
thoughtful research by physicists, meterologists, climatologists,
oceanographers, mathematicians and astronomers, peer review after peer
review of every single hypothesis vetted to the nth degree, and a
science which freely admits that it still must answer some of the more
intractable questions to provide a complete picture - as every true
science does, every time - because you don't like the messenger - is
just ugly, unscientific politics. To do it because of greedy,
narcissistic motives is reprehensible and immoral.


::::remaining content stipulated::::


Algore IS irrelevant. My point being that the words were not
Roy's. They were, in fact, Algore's. We may take solace in the fact,
that one blind squirrel has found his nuts, today.

More to the point...The science is not settled. As evidenced by
the number of qualified physicists, meteorologists and
climatologists that have taken opposition. And while the science to
which you refer is, in fact, peer reviewed, in the scientific
community dissent against a concensus is an essential part of the
scientific process. Where there is no debate, there can be,
ultimately, no truth. Only politics. What's interesting, and what
many on The Other Side are so enraged about, is that the most vocal
about this matter refuse to debate it at all.

Gore, for instance, will not be on any program with any other
guest who may speak. He will have the questions put to him vetted
before he agrees to appear. He will not answer questions that do not
presuppose his position is correct and absolute. (I speak with some
first hand experience with this, as a producer of radio interview
programs while I was at CBS.) In fact, recently, in Chicago, he was
scheduled for a media tour, all the TV chat shows, all the radio
stations. The day he was in town, the scandal broke about the
e-mails from the University of East Anglia. All his appearances were
summarily cancelled, and he left town under cover, so as not to have
to face questions.

Gore is only, as you say, a politician. And not a very good one
at that. But he is hardly alone in this. Else, why have there been
no open debates on this issue. There is only assertion and denial of
opposition. But there are no questions answered, no evidence
challenged.

That's not science, Bruce. That's politics.

History has presented other examples, look at Lister, reviled for
his position that contagion may be spread doctor to patient through
contaminated hands. Virtually, the entire medical community,
scientists...chemists, physicians, surgeons, researchers...all
condemned Lister for his single voice against the concensus. And
yet, he was right. Proven so in the fullness of time.

After the First World War and through the Second, science
advocated eugenics as a true and viable scientific solution to man's
ills. Dissent was fiercely suppressed in some circles. Often with
execution a result. Now widely discredited on scientific grounds,
only a few holdouts still assert eugenics as a means to a societal
end. William Shockley was among them. In the fullness of time, and
debate, did the truth emerge through the politics.

And, as you correctly point out, that a true science must admit
it's incomplete understanding, as is the case in the Climate Change
debate, and answer the more intractable questions in order to
complete its understanding. In which case, dissent is also part of
the scientific process.

Taken in these lights, shooting the messenger, either messenger,
is reprehensible and immoral. Which puts the abject dismissal of
dissent in the same category as those who deny the concensus
themselves.

Put that another way, there must be debate for the truth to
ultimately emerge. To dismiss, condemn, or silence either side is to
deny the emergence of the truth through scientific processes.

The Man Made Climate Change advocates, including Gore (yes, a
politician,) have joined many sitting politicians in state and
federal legislative bodies in calling for the silencing through
revocation of grant, through revocation of certification, through
termination of employment of anyone not supporting the Man Made
Climate Change agenda. Read Barbara Boxer's statements on the
subject. These individuals, as many of this body of advocacy, have
been guilty of the kind of ugly, unscientific politics you yourself
have here decried.

The truth will be known in the fullness of time. Silencing either
side, shooting either messenger will only support the emergent
politics. It will not support the emergent truth.

Sorry - I was just responding to Steve's silliness ;-)

Mike Myers says that silliness is a State of Grace.

One of the reasons so many people are so angry and tense is that
they've lost their silly.

That, and their meager retirements, their small fortunes, their tiny
security, their college tuitions, their livelihoods. Yeah, just try
smiling again! That'll fix everything!

Hardship is an experience. Silly is a state. They exist
independently of each other.

You are an idiot. Again. Your blathering that "science is religion"
does not make it so, and only undescores your complete
misunderstanding of what science and the scientific process is.

Religion is the belief in something without the tiniest shred of
evidence. It often equals poltiics, especially these days.

Science is quite the opposite - science is skepticism until
overwhelming evidence is in. Learn the difference. Or not - continue
to be an ignorant idiot, I don't care.

I said nothing about liberals here - you are putting words in my
mouth. Science is not liberal or conservative - it is only
objective. Liberals and conservatives used to know that (except when
the church told them not to - it's only when the prevailing power
structure is challenged that science is politicized, and even then,
the real scientists eschew the crap).

My logic is nearly perfect, and only falters when I do not have facts
- in which case I admit I do not have the facts. Logic is not built
on presuppositions or bad analogies, or even on opinions. Yours is
likely nonexistent, since facts appear to mean nothing to you.

Your Al Gore reference is smoke and mirrors, and completely
irrelevant. The settled science part are your words, not mine, and
completely innaccurate.

Actually, 'The science is settled' is a quote of Algore. He said
it at the Oscars, he's said it on Charlie Rose.

He's said it numerous places.

Please educate yourself wity something other

than Faux News.- Hide quoted text -

As I said before, *Al Gore is irrelevant to the actual issue*. He is
only a messenger. To blithely discredit 150 years of long and
thoughtful research by physicists, meterologists, climatologists,
oceanographers, mathematicians and astronomers, peer review after peer
review of every single hypothesis vetted to the nth degree, and a
science which freely admits that it still must answer some of the more
intractable questions to provide a complete picture - as every true
science does, every time - because you don't like the messenger - is
just ugly, unscientific politics. To do it because of greedy,
narcissistic motives is reprehensible and immoral.

::::remaining content stipulated::::

Algore IS irrelevant. My point being that the words were not
Roy's. They were, in fact, Algore's. We may take solace in the fact,
that one blind squirrel has found his nuts, today.

More to the point...The science is not settled. As evidenced by
the number of qualified physicists, meteorologists and
climatologists that have taken opposition. And while the science to
which you refer is, in fact, peer reviewed, in the scientific
community dissent against a concensus is an essential part of the
scientific process. Where there is no debate, there can be,
ultimately, no truth. Only politics. What's interesting, and what
many on The Other Side are so enraged about, is that the most vocal
about this matter refuse to debate it at all.

Gore, for instance, will not be on any program with any other
guest who may speak. He will have the questions put to him vetted
before he agrees to appear. He will not answer questions that do not
presuppose his position is correct and absolute. (I speak with some
first hand experience with this, as a producer of radio interview
programs while I was at CBS.) In fact, recently, in Chicago, he was
scheduled for a media tour, all the TV chat shows, all the radio
stations. The day he was in town, the scandal broke about the
e-mails from the University of East Anglia. All his appearances were
summarily cancelled, and he left town under cover, so as not to have
to face questions.

Gore is only, as you say, a politician. And not a very good one
at that. But he is hardly alone in this. Else, why have there been
no open debates on this issue. There is only assertion and denial of
opposition. But there are no questions answered, no evidence
challenged.

That's not science, Bruce. That's politics.

History has presented other examples, look at Lister, reviled for
his position that contagion may be spread doctor to patient through
contaminated hands. Virtually, the entire medical community,
scientists...chemists, physicians, surgeons, researchers...all
condemned Lister for his single voice against the concensus. And
yet, he was right. Proven so in the fullness of time.

After the First World War and through the Second, science
advocated eugenics as a true and viable scientific solution to man's
ills. Dissent was fiercely suppressed in some circles. Often with
execution a result. Now widely discredited on scientific grounds,
only a few holdouts still assert eugenics as a means to a societal
end. William Shockley was among them. In the fullness of time, and

And, as you correctly point out, that a true science must admit
it's incomplete understanding, as is the case in the Climate Change
debate, and answer the more intractable questions in order to
complete its understanding. In which case, dissent is also part of
the scientific process.

Taken in these lights, shooting the messenger, either messenger,
is reprehensible and immoral. Which puts the abject dismissal of
dissent in the same category as those who deny the concensus

Put that another way, there must be debate for the truth to
ultimately emerge. To dismiss, condemn, or silence either side is to
deny the emergence of the truth through scientific processes.

The Man Made Climate Change advocates, including Gore (yes, a

I don't care about Al Gore. Al Gore is STILL irrelevant.

Nobody proposes to silence either messenger. Let he who has the
evidence present it. I have not see any new evidence to the contrary
in awhile - just the same old hackneyed arguments that keep getting
dredged up, plus flash-in-the-pan exclamation points like that one
about satellite data from a couple weeks ago. They are either already
accounted for or are being worked on. If the basic theory needs
adjustment, however big that may be, it gets done - no real scientist
wants to see it done wrong - that makes no sense. Meanwhile, the real
scientific community has been near consensus on this matter since
before Al Gore Jr. was even a known name. The fullness of time, as I
have explained before, is already largely passed and the big questions
have been essentially answered. I knew this already 35 years ago,
when only scietists were still questioning the details, rather than
every screwball who had a political opinion.

Stop making excuses for the bozos and the coropration for whom this is
an inconvenience. More important things than money are at stake.

opposition is precisely what she proposed. And being an active
officer in the US Government, that raises some very serious 1st
Amendment issues. And yet, she has proposed some pretty significant
legislative motion to specifically silence those who don't sign on
to the agenda.

This is contrary to scientific discourse, debate and process.

Well, that's a bit of a red herring. The oil companies have been
under fire since the days of John D. There's never been a time that
they've not been under fire. Simply gainsaying the oil companies are
to blame is scientifically disingenous.

In fact, the opposition experts came out before the oil companies
got involved in the debate.

I'm no fan of the oil companies. In fact, if you read the story
of the Ethyl Corporation, you'll see how bad a corporate citizen can
be. And Ethyl was co formed by DuPont (interesting irony there)
Standard Oil, and GM, because John D. wasn't willing to surrender
10% of the nations' gas tank to a non-petroleum product like
ethanol. (Ethanol was known as far back as the Model T to be an
effective antiknock additive) It's incomprehensible that such a
company could exist from the 30's to the present. But they do.

But not everyone who speaks out on the issue of climate change is
an oil company shill.

Several have been volcanic geoligists. Some have been
meteorologists. Others have been academics and researchers who've
faced censure, and withdrawal of funding for their positions in an
attempt to intimidate opposition. Those funded by Big Oil would face
no such fears.

And that, though you are correct, there is more at stake than
money, that's what it comes down to.

Underscoring, again, that this issue is more about the politics
than science.

It's been suggested that the fight over man made global climate change
isn't really about whether or not CO2 causes it. The fight, at least by
one side, is actually about continuing the present, increasing pollution
unabated.

Anywhere there is CO2, there are carcinogenic byproducts. The
industrialists seem to be trying to equate a cleaner environment with
raving lunatic communism. Controlling emissions cuts into the bottom
line. Win the CO2 fight and you win the pollution right.

CO2 is a very convenient way to make people forget about the toxic crap
that accompanies it. The toxic stuff kills people a lot faster. It's
best not to mention it.

Me? I believe all environmental degradation and pollution is due to
corrupt politicians.

It's not really lying if you believe what you say is true. Republicans
live in a bubble of disinformation and voluntary ignorance. Not the same
as lying.

"Voluntary" ignorance is the key. If it's voluntary, it's a lie.

OK

Again, read Barbara Boxer's comment on the subject. Silencing opposition
is precisely what she proposed. And being an active officer in the US
Government, that raises some very serious 1st Amendment issues. And yet,
she has proposed some pretty significant legislative motion to
specifically silence those who don't sign on to the agenda.

This is contrary to scientific discourse, debate and process.




A lie doesn't "balance" a fact. There are not 2 sides to everything.

Isn't "the truth" already known?

FACT (truth): Carbon dioxide IS a greenhouse gas.

FACT (truth): We ARE putting greater and greater amounts of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere, especially with India and China coming on
line with millions more cars and an insatiable demand for more and more
electricity.

Could someone out there in Net Land please explain why all this extra
carbon dioxide (remember, a greenhouse gas) won't have an effect on the
climate?

Soot. We need to make sure they use sooty coal so that we can block the

Another moron from inside the Bubble. Al Gore is a fine, articulate
gentleman. For this reason the mainstream press is relentless in their
attempts to besmirch him. The Fascistas at Koch Industries and
ExxonMobil just can't stand to see a fellow oil man who isn't a massive
pig like they are.

* *.
* *.

Your Al Gore reference is smoke and mirrors, and completely
irrelevant. *The settled science part are your words, not mine, and
completely innaccurate.

* * Actually, 'The science is settled' is a quote of Algore. *He said
it at the Oscars, he's said it on Charlie Rose.

* * He's said it numerous places.

Please educate yourself wity something other

than Faux News.- Hide quoted text -

As I said before, *Al Gore is irrelevant to the actual issue*. *He is
only a messenger. *To blithely discredit 150 years of long and
thoughtful research by physicists, meterologists, climatologists,
oceanographers, mathematicians and astronomers, peer review after peer
review of every single hypothesis vetted to the nth degree, and a
science which freely admits that it still must answer some of the more
intractable questions to provide a complete picture - as every true
science does, every time - because you don't like the messenger - is
just ugly, unscientific politics. *To do it because of greedy,
narcissistic motives is reprehensible and immoral.

* *::::remaining content stipulated::::

* *Algore IS irrelevant. My point being that the words were not
Roy's. They were, in fact, Algore's. We may take solace in the fact,
that one blind squirrel has found his nuts, today.

* *More to the point...The science is not settled. As evidenced by
the number of qualified physicists, meteorologists and
climatologists that have taken opposition. And while the science to
which you refer is, in fact, peer reviewed, in the scientific
community dissent against a concensus is an essential part of the
scientific process. Where there is no debate, there can be,
ultimately, no truth. Only politics. What's interesting, and what
many on The Other Side are so enraged about, is that the most vocal
about this matter refuse to debate it at all.

* *Gore, for instance, will not be on any program with any other
guest who may speak. He will have the questions put to him vetted
before he agrees to appear. He will not answer questions that do not
presuppose his position is correct and absolute. (I speak with some
first hand experience with this, as a producer of radio interview
programs while I was at CBS.) In fact, recently, in Chicago, he was
scheduled for a media tour, all the TV chat shows, all the radio
stations. The day he was in town, the scandal broke about the
e-mails from the University of East Anglia. All his appearances were
summarily cancelled, and he left town under cover, so as not to have
to face questions.

* *Gore is only, as you say, a politician. And not a very good one
at that. But he is hardly alone in this. Else, why have there been
no open debates on this issue. There is only assertion and denial of
opposition. But there are no questions answered, no evidence
challenged.

* *That's not science, Bruce. That's politics.

* *History has presented other examples, look at Lister, reviled for
his position that contagion may be spread doctor to patient through
contaminated hands. Virtually, the entire medical community,
scientists...chemists, physicians, surgeons, researchers...all
condemned Lister for his single voice against the concensus. And
yet, he was right. Proven so in the fullness of time.

* *After the First World War and through the Second, science
advocated eugenics as a true and viable scientific solution to man's
ills. Dissent was fiercely suppressed in some circles. Often with
execution a result. Now widely discredited on scientific grounds,
only a few holdouts still assert eugenics as a means to a societal
end. William Shockley was among them. In the fullness of time, and
debate, did the truth emerge through the politics.

* *And, as you correctly point out, that a true science must admit
it's incomplete understanding, as is the case in the Climate Change
debate, and answer the more intractable questions in order to
complete its understanding. In which case, dissent is also part of
the scientific process.

* *Taken in these lights, shooting the messenger, either messenger,
is reprehensible and immoral. Which puts the abject dismissal of
dissent in the same category as those who deny the concensus
themselves.

* *Put that another way, there must be debate for the truth to
ultimately emerge. To dismiss, condemn, or silence either side is to
deny the emergence of the truth through scientific processes.

* *The Man Made Climate Change advocates, including Gore (yes, a
politician,) have joined many sitting politicians in state and
federal legislative bodies in calling for the silencing through
revocation of grant, through revocation of certification, through
termination of employment of anyone not supporting the Man Made
Climate Change agenda. Read Barbara Boxer's statements on the
subject. These individuals, as many of this body of advocacy, have
been guilty of the kind of ugly, unscientific politics you yourself
have here decried.

* *The truth will be known in the fullness of time. Silencing either
side, shooting either messenger will only support the emergent
politics. It will not support the emergent truth.

* *p- Hide quoted text -

I don't care about Al Gore. *Al Gore is STILL irrelevant.

Nobody proposes to silence either messenger. *Let he who has the
evidence present it. *I have not see any new evidence to the contrary
in awhile - just the same old hackneyed arguments that keep getting
dredged up, plus flash-in-the-pan exclamation points like that one
about satellite data from a couple weeks ago. *They are either already
accounted for or are being worked on. *If the basic theory needs
adjustment, however big that may be, it gets done - no real scientist
wants to see it done wrong - that makes no sense. *Meanwhile, the real
scientific community has been near consensus on this matter since
before Al Gore Jr. was even a known name. *The fullness of time, as I
have explained before, is already largely passed and the big questions
have been essentially answered. *I knew this already 35 years ago,
when only scietists were still questioning the details, rather than
every screwball who had a political opinion.

Stop making excuses for the bozos and the coropration for whom this is
an inconvenience. *More important things than money are at stake.

Religion is the belief in something without the tiniest shred of

Science is quite the opposite - science is skepticism until
overwhelming evidence is in. Learn the difference. Or not - continue
to be an ignorant idiot, I don't care.


Someone once said that an atheist is someone without invisible means of
support.

Then there was:

Christianity = The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own
father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and
telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove
an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a
rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree..
