Rather there are groups with a financial interest in swaying public opinion ready and willing to manufacture false science that manages to create doubt in the minds of those not educated or intelligent enough to know the difference or, in some cases, where their own financial well-being is threatened by the conclusions of real science.

The article in the OP is none of the above. Now where does your argument go?

You know ignorance when you see it? I suggest you look in the mirror. The earth hasn't warmed in 12 years. That is the facts. Get over it.

So you trust the government? Get real!!

No, government is also, to a great extent, in the pocket of big oil. We have, as it is said, the best government MONEY CAN BUY!! And which side in this debate has tens of billions of dollars in profits at stake? You think that a bunch of granola crunchers and prius drivers have the financial resources to buy off the scientists? You need your head examined if you do!!

Another snarky picture? You argue like a 3rd grader. What other lame insults do you have for us to laugh at you over?

And which side in this debate has tens of billions of dollars in profits at stake? You thimk that a bunch of granola crunchers and prius drivers have the financial resources to buy off the scientists? You need your head examined if you do!!

Wow, how do I counter that? You seem to be in your own little world there so I won't disturb you further. Man you are "out there". Oh, and to answer your question, yes the granola cruchers used to have the financial resources to buy off the scientists. That is until the last election when the house changed hands. Now they don't.

Six years, John. The increase from 1998 to 2005 was measurable. Don't tell me you are discounting it because it was small. Not when you criticize the "other side" for fudging facts and making up data.

6 years, 12 years, 50 years, 120 years, 500 years... what difference does it make? they're all just blips in geologic time.

It's like trying to crack a coconut open. Good luck.

Cracking a coconut open is actually quite easy.

Maybe you could teach me sometime.

Not the kind we're talking about.

You just need the right equipment. I have no idea what it's called in English, my grandma taught me how to do that in India when I was 12. A really heavy but not too sharp knife-like object and a stone slab. BAM! Just don't hit your own hand.

Not the one we're talking about.

If you're implying you'd like to bust JohnSmith's head open, I should warn you that is against TOS.
