Excellent post, Chicago George!
I've seen zero evidence of this. The most recent person on the anti-vaccine bandwagon was Michelle Bachmann, wasn't it?

Common knowledge. I was raised by hippies, and like most hippie children, we were not vaccinated.

I'm sorry but give me a link or something because it's not common knowledge. That may have been your childhood but not necessarily everyone else's.

Wrong again, as usual. That is what North America looked like 75 to 85 million years ago. THIS is what North America looked like 3 million years ago, before the current ice-age:



No matter how often you deliberately lie to people, someone will always be there to point out your BS.

Nice article on WSJ Weekend edition. Another respected scientist speaks out that the science is not settled.

Science is never settled. Anyone who says otherwise is demonstrating that they know nothing about science.

If Standard of Living is so important than why can't economists suggest mandatory double-entry accounting in high school? Double-entry accounting is only 700 years old, can it really be all that hard.

But the way standard of living is measured is really cash flow. Like going into debt for junk designed to become obsolete in the first place, which economists ignore the depreciation of. There were 200,000,000 cars in the US in 1995. When was the last time you heard an economist specify the depreciation lost on that junk every year?

Ah yes, we humans are so mighty, so powerful, that we can control nature. Tell us, Oh Wise One, how is it that the puny increases in CO2 levels that ended the Little Ice Age yielded more temperature increases than did the MASSIVE amounts of CO2 that have entered the atmosphere since the end of World War 2?

YOU are the one who stated that only 30 years of data are needed to "prove" climate change. So teach us all why the so called change has been insignificant!
