Looks like logic has a new best friend

Not much logic involved but the last comments summing up the issue pretty much say it all:

"The overwhelming majority — 97 percent — of peer-reviewed papers in the literature support the consensus view that human activities have contributed to the majority of recent warming," with a "vanishing small proportion" of published research rejecting the scientific consensus, she said.

But "giving equal, 50-50 weight to both the red and blue teams in the exercise would mislead the public into thinking there is a debate when there isn't one," Levin said. "And the Trump administration is likely to stack the red team with fossil fuel industry interests, as it has done with its Cabinet positions."

science got us this far , now we want to reject it , because we do not like what it says.

it is a hell of a big conspiracy, if that is what your thinking .

science has been right about everything else but not this apparently.

you trust science and math to steer your tractor straight down the field .
but not here.

yes , there will be some transfer of wealth, and some abuses i am sure.
but what if they are right ?

we may be ok , here , but melting polar caps, etc. etc.
wars, political turmoil , who knows
it will cost a bit , but would you not rather be safe than sorry ..
we will be long dead , before it hits.
so why should we care.
well maybe because we should

What a strange post - it's author could be afflicted with paranoid schizophrenia. It begins with wanting to trust science and ends with strictly emotional conjecture.

sawfly, are you okay?

BTW, the "97%" thing has been debunked quite some time ago. Read up on it, how the alarmists arrived at it.

Unfortunately, the alarmists have invested so much in their frenetic theories and doomsday projections that they will likely never back away from them.

And ALL greedy politicians jumped on board whole hog for the TAXES! Like lemmings over the cliff, sheep blindly following the leader to slaughter. Does not make it right....Hitler was right, Stalin, Korean nut job is right for some.

So which element in the atmosphere is heavier then CO2? I get gasses mix but heaviest is on the bottom. Gravity ****s with global warming

[macdon02]

Is there anyone that can grab the periodic table and explain to me how CO2 gets in the upper atmosphere? My grade 12 marks sucked because I questioned everything

[macdon02]

Why does a fighter pilot wear an oxygen mask? Too much CO2? I don't ****ing think so

[sawfly1]

my point was, even if we do not suffer the bad effects of global warming.
do we not have a moral obligation to go with the science.

The "science"?

Whose "science"?

An old lefty tune. Kool-aid kool-aid tastes great. Kool-aid kool-aid can't wait.

CO2 weighs 44.01 g/mol , O weighs 16 and O2 the common form - 32. Hard to believe that CO2 defies gravity but you won't convince the 'new' scientists.

NO they could have chosen COLD COLD Canada instead of great climates elsewhere! They are SOL, we are the chosen ones.
