Tabloids have always published hyperbolic nonsense. I ignore the noise.

I must cling to it... must... have my hypothesis be correct! It is correct I tell you! It is true! For the climate prophets tell me so! I will not lose faith, I will believe and foster the hope that the savior of our climate belief will save us! Climen.

Actually, the hardcover was first published in 1990. I bought the paperback, probably in about '92. Hardly "an already outdated, 20 year old popular science book."

Maybe your problem is that you're one of those know-it-alls I was discussing before, and that you "knew" I was talking about Ehrlich's earlier book, The Population Bomb. I wasn't. That failure is on you, my friend, not me.

My condolences, but really, there's no reason to burden us with your emotional and mental challenges. Take it to a shrink.

Serious man if it's coming it's coming

(Yawn) I just tilled my garden today all 60 x 100.

In the morning in will set up the pumps, and then till the other little garden 16 x 40.

I might even take MM gw serious if i wasn't a good mechanic, and if my local weather station was in on the data which it wasn't. I guess Mt Washington Data would throw off the data that was wanted...

I will eat no matter hat anyone else does, and i will know where all the food i eat comes from.

So far as i am concerned the longer it is warmer the better off my crops will be.

I already eat past harvest and it's getting to be into the next harvest.I end up composting good foods to eat just because they are old.

Another thing is I grew up on the coast and the road there is still the road there. The way you fools talk that road should be under water by now..... it isn't...... Same road for all of my 60 years and for all of them that road goes under water in storms.

Anytime you feel like getting stupid you are free to pick on me, because i don't mind calling fools out.

CO2 = Carbon Dioxide

CO = Carbon Monoxide the gas associated with people dying in an enclosed space with the engine running...


Having said that both can kill you, at about 4% CO2 can begin to affect humans. We need another 25K years before we reach that level....

And they'll be growing grapes and making wine in England once more!

Environmentalists, you so silly!

There's just something wrong with combining England and wine in the same sentence.

This, of course, is the problem with cultists vs scientists-

1. cultists accept that a supposition is initially true, then ask for confirmation

2. cultists denounce questioning of a position, despite good scientific evidence refuting the initial claim

3. cultists ignore any "opposition data" as irrelevent, due to methodological effects, but accept supporting "data" with the same problems.

4. cultists promote the perpetuation of false data in the media, in order to gain "public opinion" for a viewpoint. Objective science does not care about "public opinion".


"Global Warming" is one of the biggest hoaxes in the last hundred years, rivaling the Cardiff Giant. It is a supposition, promoted in the absence of objective scientific data, which has been promoted and perpetuated by a media eager to advance a political agenda.


Libs- Unless you have a background in ACADEMIC SCIENCE, perhaps you should sit back and be silent, lest you expose your ignorance again. BAD SCIENCE is equally deleterious to mankind as false, politically motivated "science", which can have disasterous consequences for the planet.

Learn from the mistakes of this misguided political hoax, which violated all the objective perameters of science. Liberals, of course, will never learn.
