Lieberman's Right on Fort Hood

“what political agenda was he promoting?”
chromodynamics replied on Nov 27, 2009 at 22:58:24
“None! A Major going postal within the US Army does not a terrorist make. While there certainly should be an inquiry into the Fort Hood shooting, it would be better served by a commission rather than a politically charged senate subcommittee hearing on the matter.
This nonsense that this was a terrorist attack is nothing more than a GOP talking point. No political organization has taken responsibility for Major Hasan’s actions, nor are we ever likely to hear of any offers of responsibility, except those proffered by the minions of the GOP that put America in a bad light.”

It Certainly Is An Impressive Hoax: Making The World's Glaciers Melt
Commented Nov 26, 2009 at 13:33:20 in Green
“It's true that the models are wrong. The glaciers are melting much faster than the models predicted. The world is warming much faster than the models predicted.
And all this is coincidentally happening at the same time as we are rapidly increasing the CO2 content of our atmosphere.”

“Ya, the "crazies', like the scientists,( every major scientific orginazation in the world is part of the concensis) who rely on evidence, and real world data, and detailed and painstaking analisis, to base their conclusions on.
You mean those "crazies"?
But I suppose we should just listen to people like you, who have no scientific credentials, and who's understanding of the science of GW is laughable at best.
I think I'll go with the experts on this one.”

Of course, then it won't be called Christianity.
They'll have to rename it Conservinanity.”

“Sorry. But I fail to find in the Bible anything that states that people should be forced to be charitable. Every teaching of Christ referred to people as INDIVIDUALS. He never spoke about government involvement to enforce his teachings.”

“Here's is the explanation from realclimat e.org on the 800 year lag.
"The reason has to do with the fact that the warmings take about 5000 years to be complete. The lag is only 800 years. All that the lag shows is that CO2 DID NOT CAUSE THE FIRST 800 YEARS OF WARMING, out of the 5000 year trend. The other 4200 years of warming COULD IN FACT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY CO2, as far as we can tell from this ice core data."
Did you catch that? It could have been caused by CO2. "Could have been caused by CO2". So it might actually have nothing to do with CO2. And that is from a link you provided.”

“Calinative, What were seeing now is an observable rise in global temps following an observable rise in CO2 levels. Your constant harping about what happened thousands of years ago when there wasn't 7 billion humans pumping massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere is completely irrelevent to the AGW subject, and smacks of the desperation of someone who can't admit that they're wrong.
Of course, since, like you, I'm not a climate scientist, l could be wrong. My ego isn't dependent on pretending that I'm somehow the smartest person in the world.”

“I think it's kind of the resident deniers to come on this thread and provide a few examples of the debunked BS that Mr Boyce was refering to. Although some of the examples have a distinctly moldy smell.

“Having not yet located Boyce's so-called debunked study by an unnamed author, I hesitate to "pile" on. But I can't resist. I think the argument that global warming, which has been on hold for around 8 years, is caused by CO2 is as moldy as it gets. BS stinks regardless of source.”
