Check. Thanks for making my point.

Except when conditions come into play contradicting the data. The Church of AGW priests don't want to repeat the experiments because "there's no time...we're dooooooomed if we don't do something". When my experiments don't come to fruition, I have to repeat the process just like any other scientist. These priests of AGW are not exempt from that tedious process.

A church being the house to which this group devotes its beliefs within or a congregation of order to which unify in a setting.

Id say it makes perfect sense.

Wow, I learn something new everyday from conservatives.

Church = science and science = Church

The fail is strong with you folks.

If global warming was such a lie, you people wouldn't resort to anger and insults to make your points, you'd be calmly offering facts.

I believe human activity has had a huge impact on climate in the last century, a century where our population more than tripled and our technology, especially chemical, has unleashed untold misery on the natural world. Whether it's going to get hotter or colder or swing more rapidly between the two is not yet entirely determined, but to ignore our impact and its possible effects is foolish.

Problem, AGW doesn't change, it forces science to change to fit it. Can I get a Gormen?

I doubt you learn anything from me unless I am preaching that which you hold dear to.

If you knew your history of science you would see a lot of similarities to the "consensus" of AGW and that of the church to which condemned Galileo, but then such is probably not written in your holy scripture of worship.

Hey, did you hear about the guys going to the North Pole?!!

No biggie, you say?

They rowed.

Naw, global warming is a figment of our imagination.

Silly Church of AGW folks think you need to believe in an imaginary man in the sky to be considered a religion.
