Let me see if I understand this.

WE have to provide research to prove our points but YOU PEOPLE can say whatever you want ex cathedra and then tell us the science is settled and we should accept that as proof.

I'm not the one supporting or arguing his claims are wrong.. YOU ARE..

its up to YOU to provide the evidence.. I've never taken your word for anything cause usually its wrong..

economic theories are beyond laughable.. and dont get me started with ACA.. which of course you demanded be passed because 30 million americans were uninsured and if we didnt pass it, they would die.. the end result is now we have 41 million uninsured and you celebrate.. its a walking talking flip flopping urbanlife depending on the weather.. or is that climate change..

And you ignore all the facts you want. What of it? It makes your criticism weightless.

This is from the article also...

Climate expert William Happer, from Princeton University, supported Mr Coleman's claims.

He added: "No chemical compound in the atmosphere has a worse reputation than CO2, thanks to the single-minded demonisation of this natural and essential atmospheric gas by advocates of government control and energy production.

"The incredible list of supposed horrors that increasing carbon dioxide will bring the world is pure belief disguised as science."



You can read Happer's testimony to the Senate in 2009, here.

He isn't a scientist, yet he is pretending his opinion should be taken as fact, therefore he is a hack journalist.

I never stated his opinion should be taken as fact.

Why are you having difficulty understanding this?

Does this mean you arent going to do your part to diminish global warming? Still breathing? Still using that computer obviously.. Have you at least shut your television off?

I never said you were taking his opinion as a fact....not sure where you got the idea where I was suggesting that.

Then why are you so upset over his opinion?

...
"I have studied this topic seriously for years. It has become a political and environment agenda item, but the science is not valid."

...
He added: "There is no significant man-made global warming at this time, there has been none in the past and there is no reason to fear any in the future.



Hopefully this can just fade away.

To me - nobody would know anything about global warming or climate changed unless the "scientists" had made their claims. There is no visible evidence.
I have a great respect for science.

Right now, science is neck deep in the politics of "climate change".

No playing the game, no money.
