But to hell with them...what do those liberal weenies know? They're only PhD scientists with some of the best scientific educations working for the organization that put a man on the moon. Better listen to some uneducated conservative fatass from hick country with zero scientific training opining from behind a computer screen. Yeah, I'd much rather trust that guy than educated people who have actually intensely studied this with the most modern equipment and methods.

Bury your heads in the sand! There's nothing to worry about!
which ones are the liberal weenies? Instead of crying about it on cd why dont you do something about it? perhaps you could convince some of the liberal weenies in SF to start cleaning up some of that vast ocean water and put it on reserve as you may need it. More chicken little sheit, no solutions

The fact is liberals have never proposed anything that would have anything more than a negligible effect on AGW. We better hope for new technology.
Yeah good luck with that, we have too many people denying reality for us to be able to do trade sanctions.

New technology is our only real hope to avoid serious pain in the future from all of this. Im pretty positive that barring a serious war, we will manage.

Technology is restricted by artificial financial limitations. We don't use the technology unless it is "profitable" to do so (i.e. electric cars, solar panels, desalinization).

You can't cure a disease by treating the symptoms. We're extremely overpopulated, excessively pollute, develop and destroy the environment. The longer we ignore the problem the worst it will get and the less we will be able to cope with the results.

In fact, why should the United States, long the worlds largest polluter, show any leadership on climate change?

We can just pretend that science doesn't exist, like Republicans do, and that Jesus will come down from heaven and save the earth. (More than likely, Jesus would say "You get what you deserve")

The Americas have had megadroughts in the past.

There's a reason many Native Americans were still living as hunters and gatherers when the Europeans arrived.

Time will tell. If the droughts are going to affect people, it will mostly be those who are global warming deniers. Going to be a really dry summer for them. If there are no droughts this summer, they can say "told you so."

You alarmists don't know anything more about "climate change" than the so-called deniers. You just like the idea of climate change because it's en vogue and makes you look forward thinking and progressive in the minds of other lib sheeple.
