Funny thing about destroying the planet, the planet doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Massive asteroid impacts, volcanoes, and natural disasters, yet the planet rebounds and marches on. Don't you guys get tired of the sky is falling routine.

All climate hysterics live in a sad world of make-believe, based on a story that defies economic, psychological and scientific reality.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

None the building is on fire! (Gotta love a House quote!) But I will say this. If my house is on fire I do not debate with the men who show up (With experience.) to put it out. I simply let them put it out. If my house is smoking, I do not wait UNTIL it is on fire to do something. I do not do things that COULD cause the house to get started with fire. I take care NOT to let the house get ablaze because ya know I ONLY HAVE ONE, and maybe my kids would like it. I am not saying our planet is on fire but I am saying that the garbage island is a pretty clear indication of smoke. Space junk is smoke. Polluted rivers is smoke. Declining fisheries is smoke, and so forth. Now there are logical debates as to HOW things should be done. I say again most of the solutions put forth by the most vocal are not the best ideas I have heard. But if we START at one planet, lets take care of it we should be able to get SOMETHING accomplished wouldn't ya think? I mean Lake Erie was a pretty good example.

So that there were no doubts, I quoted the poster I was responding to. How do you all of a sudden bring in the OP or AGW literature into the discussion when it was clear I was responding only to one post?
And then you are going to talk to me about showing integrity??? Quote: On Jul 22, 2015, Magnus Eisengrim wrote:

Wait, you are arguing that AGW is real. Most people that argue that are liberals. Now I don't know if you are or not, but liberals in general are definitely pro gun control. Are you saying I should purchase a firearm? Btw, condoms have a 97% success rate. If there is a three percent chance of condom failure, would you just play it safe and not have sex so you are protected.
The even bigger problem with you analogy is that the "solutions" for AGW are basically to cut fossil fuel usage dramatically and to substantially restrict developing countries from using fossil fuels. Even then, the effects of that will be minimal at best. Does it not occur to AGW believers that your solution to the problem wouldn't work and are ones that pretty much no one would support anyways? Even funnier (or sadder) is the best solution to carbon dioxide emissions is nuclear energy, but AGW believers/environmentalists/the left want no part of that either. It is not only possible for it to be safe, but more efficient, with the possibility to use spent reactor fuel as well. Reviving the Nuclear Dream shows how this is possible if we embrace actual solutions. Quote: On Jul 22, 2015, Randwill wrote:

The climate hysterics, like most cheats are stupid and bad players and the only way to get them to admit they have marked the cards is to get them in a head lock.
"To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective, and being honest." - Leading greenhouse advocate, Dr Stephen Schneider ( in interview for "Discover" magagzine, Oct 1989) Then the climate hysteric has the temerity to speak of honesty eh.

What the climate hysteric want is death. Human life is the problem as they say.

Some know and understand there is no real 97% consensus and that it is merely part of the climate hysterics sad make-believe world based on a story that defies economic, psychological and scientific reality, that is BS that the climate hysterics like to throw around to bolster their myth.

That 97% figure you AGW supporters keep throwing around is BOGUS!!! Please stop saying there is a consensus, there is not. That 97% figure is fraudulent and has been debunked many times over. Again, another reason why AGW is a LIE!
If you believe it to be true, please cite a reference so that the results can be verified. Quote: On Jul 22, 2015, Randwill wrote:

Why do they knowingly lie and say 97% when it's been debunked a dozen times?

I was simply referring to my experience in discussing global warming with people. Most tend to be liberal, that was all that I was saying. How is that a moronic claim?
