Boy, this thread went to shit in a hurry! The last posts by Rap, Hero, and this "new" person just leave me shaking my head in amazement at such a glut of insanity. Hero leads the pack; writing all that rant, without a single scintilla of evidence, facts, links, cites, or ANYTHING! Hey, anyone can do that and blather on all they want, but unless you show SOMETHING to back it up, you're just making a fool of yourself. I guess you just needed to get that off your chest, but the problem is, it counts for nothing but your opinion without something to back it up...which I'm assuming you don't have.
Seriously: Quote:
For you free speech, democracy, free thought are all good things so long as people say, think, and act as you see fit.
Mmm, now that's a salient argument, really intelligent...is he channeling Rap?Quote:
we're the ones that actually make the world work
Quote:
close mindedness, financial misconduct, sexual hypocrisy
That last one is, you are saying, the EXCLUSIVE purvey of the left?!?! Scores of those on the right haven't been found guilty of any of those? Seriously?? 
And the kicker: America has become so censored, so narrowed, that Firefly couldn't be made today? Are you friggin' JOKING?! Quote:
Much like the End Timers and Y2K nuts... the AGW nut jobs actually believe that storms are getting worse and happen more often as well.
Uhhh, Rap is saying the data, the facts, every study out there, DOESN'T show quite clearly that the storms are getting worse? He hasn't heard about all those "hundred-year storms" that have been happening every few years? How does he manage to watch TV or listen to the radio and not hear that? Oh, wait, he keeps himself exclusively to right-wing TV and radio...sorry, silly question.
He won't read it, or will find some reason to discount the source without knowing a thing about it, but what the hell: Quote:
...storms are increasing in strength, or severity. This attribute, called the Power Dissipation Index, measures the duration and intensity (wind speed) of storms, and research has found that since the mid-1970s, there has been an increase in the energy of storms. http://www.skepticalscience.com/hurricanes-global-warming.htm]
There's plenty of data backing that up at the link...not that he'd go there.
When 95% of active climate researchers actively publishing climate papers (in other words, the guys actually doing the work) endorse the consensus position, and 97% of climate experts agree humans are causing global warming, it might be time to start paying attention, if you're a rational, intelligent human being. Or not, if you work real hard at burying your head in the right-wing sand, I guess.Quote:
climate change is NOT the cause of every storm, draught, tornado, hurricane, flood, or wildfire
Omigawd, what a blow! And here we "lefties" have been saying it IS, all along! Oh dear... 
Quote:
But this is what the Left do, hijack and distort words so that the real meaning gets lost in a maze of confusion and twisting of facts.
Yeah, well, that's just Rap...the boy reeeely needs new material...but I do get it, you can't twist facts as long as you don't OFFER any, or believe in any...
We've posted data, with cites and material to back it up. One more time: What have you got? Either put up or shut up--well, no, of course you don't have to shut up, and you never will, but if you don't put up, you don't count. You can call people every name in the book and use every trite, over-used idiocy you want, but unless and until you offer something of SUBSTANCE, you just look foolish.

Niki - Thanks for making my point for me.
You read the headlines, and believe that's FACT, and TRUTH, when in reality... they're just headlines, and nothing more.
When Katrina hit, weren't we told to expect more of the same in the years to come ? Guess what? It didn't happen. There were fewer storms, and fewer made it to land. Every year, they 'predicted' really busy storm seasons, and what happened?
Next to nothing.
Which is apparently what the Left have between their ears.
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Why are storms like Katrina and Sandy so much more severe and common then in the past?
Liberals would blame climate change.
Yet the duration, speed, and strength were not more severe.
The answer is not climate change...it's luck. Random chance sent those storms into particular areas where the effects were magnified not by climate but by coastal development, infrastructure failures, and population density.

Hero...must be right on all of this. ALL of the rest of us are wrong. Chrisisall, 2012

"There are numerous reports of evidence and conclusions being falisfied or 'adjusted to reflect administration policy'" (presumably in support of AGW)
"One such example is NASA where only former members of the organization are able to dispute the official policy."
"There are a lot of scientists who already published articles pointing out a lot of things can cause the temps to go up and down and man's influence is negligable at best."
Well, OK, this is the question Hero refused to answer that applies to all three - the 'numerous reports' being falsified, 'a lot of scientists', and 'a lot' of 'articles' being suppressed - and yet he can't/ won't answer the question of where is there even a single cite, quote, or link, let alone 'numerous' ones and 'a lot' of them.

Look up.
"Questions that conservatives can't/refuse to answer"
That's what this thread is called. Seems like a good place for Magons's question.
I notice you still won't answer, thereby proving it is indeed in the right thread.
"I supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and intellegence [sic] had very little to do with that decision." - Hero
"I was wrong" - Hero, 2012
Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"
Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

And I reiterate my statement:Quote:
We who acknowledge the reality of global warming/climate change/whatever you choose to call it HAVE put up our proof, data, facts, completely with cites, references, etc. more than once. We await your evidence to the contrary, Rap (or anyone else) and until you put something up ONCE--I promise to save whatever you put up to quote should anyone ask you again--any protestations of having proven the point previously are irrelevant and we can go right on snarking at you all we want. Because, you see, we know you CAN'T prove your point. It's that simple.
What's simple about science Niki? Afterall, from any explanation I've ever gotten from anyone on these boards it's totally unprovable for the most part and they deal with theories.
I'm guessing that's how L. Ron Hubbard came up with the name "Scientology" for his cult 40 some years ago.....
Rap can't prove to you that God exists any sooner than you can prove that man was evolved from rocks and semen of the Gods 200 million years ago....
At least LRH is making a bundle off of it, even if he has to live on that exclusive island with only Tupac, Elvis and Buddy Holly for roomates besides the whores sworn to secrecy that probably wouldn't even recognize any of them at their age now....
If there was a single thing going on contributing to global warming that we're doing, I'd love you to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Until then, I invite you to keep indulging in many of your daily activities that lend themselves to the very thing you think you're fighting against.
If you were truly not to blame for any of the "global warming" scenarios laid out upon us, you'd be Amish or even more "3rd world".... Seeing as you're posting here, you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
Kudos to you

Yeah, I thought so too, and still no answer, because 'Obama is driving the US to communism' is one of the stupid soundbites that the dumber elements of the conservatives make. No basis at all in reality, but hey never let reality get in the way of a good sound bites.

I used to converse with Finn about many things, but the one thing he COULDN'T do was answer questions.
He said that human life begins at conception, but couldn't define what he meant by "human" and couldn't define what he meant by "life", so he was left with an empty phrase.
The straw that broke the camel's back was when I asked him to define what he meant by "freedom", seeing as how he used the word so much. That was another question he couldn't answer, and he not only left the thread, he left the board.
-------------
I've asked rappy many, many questions that he couldn't answer, like
Why is it a good thing that rich people get richer? and
What happened to Saddam's WMD programs... yanno, the ones that were an existential threat to the USA? and
What is the meaning of the word 'supersede'? (regarding UN Resolution 1440), and
What evidence did he have that Fannie and Freddie 'caused' the Great Recession, especially seeing that it also occurred in the EU, where Fannie and Freddie did not exist? and
If following Bush's trickle-down policies for eight years was followed by a financial bust, why should we try it some more?
Really, there have been many opportunities for rappy to have an intelligent discussion. But after numerous failed attempts to enter a reasonable dialogue, I was left to sadly conclude that rappy was only worth ignoring. I hope you all do the same.

Geezer could never answer the question What did we invade all of those nations for? and I doubt he ever will.
