Last evening on my drive home, I was listening to Hannity. He made a
statement about the weather in Geneva where they are having the
climate talks. Well, this idiot said something to the affect that
global warming is a hoax because the weather in Geneva was supposed to
be a record cold! THEN he had the guy that is the head of AccuWeather
on. Now if you listen to Hannity, he'll ask questions in such a manner
that it will help in HIS discussion. Well the weather guy was asked by
Hannity something like well, if the weather in Geneva is this record
cold, doesn't this disspell the global warming debate? The weather
guy, who is Hannity's friend replied, "no, it doesn't mean anything
like that. As a matter of fact, there is very real evidence that
global warming IS real." Now, Hannity didn't like this answer, so he
asked "but does this mean that man is causing global warming?" The
weather guy answered "No, it doesn't, but it doesn't mean that man has
NOT caused global warming. Again, there is a LOT of data suggesting
that man's pollutants and co2 levels have had an affect on warming. We
just don't know how much." These may not be exact quotes, but that was
from the horses mouth! So what did Hannity do? Changed the subject of
course.


One thing the hard right has to be applauded for is thier ability to stick
together no matter what. And to blindly follow the party line.


As does the left... so what. Folks who believe in American Values stick
together, what's your point?- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -


Oh, yes, only the right wants whats good for the citizens and the
country. The left want to kill babies and hate the country. Same old
song and dance. (Aerosmith!)


Yup, I knew yesterday when I wrote this, you would jump in with both
feet and not read it. I never said "caring about the country was
exclusive to one party or the other". In fact if you read carefully I
suggested two groups of folks who care. Your defensiveness blinds you to
open mindedness all the time, you should calm down and read a bit more
carefully.

Either way, as I have noted before. Your biggest problem is always
assuming you are right and everyone who has an opposing point of view is
either lying, or wrong... It shows up all the time in your writing, It's
really frustrating to be dismissed for having a different point of
view...

I guess it's better sharing almost every elected office in this country
with
one other group instead of two.
Neither you nor the Reps want to see mainstream America calm and working
together. Like the cable news programs upon which you suckle, MSNBC and

you'd rather see people divided than a strong group in the middle -
otherwise your collective BS would dry up and blow away.

No. Not at all. It was an actual dialogue between Hannity and the

Look, you're on the wrong side of this issue - you know it, you just
don't want to accept it.

The "science" isn't "settled" because it's based on a fraudulent
premise with amateur data mining done by amateur programmers to fit an
agenda that created a job worth millions. Your guys have been proven
wrong on so many climate issues that it should be embarrassing.

And please don't do your usual prove a negative schtick - it's really
old.


Every time someone here shows you actual data that shows FOR A FACT
the direct correlation between CO2 levels and warming trends you sweep
it under the carpet, saying that the only "honest science" is that the
fits your right wing agenda.



Facts... those pesky things... darn them anyway!

No cognitive dissonance. The "good science" argument is a delay
tactic. There's plenty of good science.

If we cannot conclusively prove man has XX% involvement in global
warming, should we simply sit back and do nothing?

That's cognitive dissonance.

No. Using my logic we would actually use science, rather than
political talking points, to determine what to do. I'm already on
record that we should be working toward less emissions... the fact
that we might actually induce a tipping point is quite scary. I'd
prefer to err on the side of safety, but Al Gore isn't "my daddy."

In that case, why the hell should we cut emissions? I think we should

I'll answer that this way.
Guy and his wife- from NYC - are in Hawaii for the first time, on
vacation.
Problem is they are arguing about how to say Hawaii.
The wife says it should be pronounced Ha-Vy-ee.
Husband says it's Ha-Wy-ee.
It's spoiling their vacation, because that's just how they are.
They decide to get off the beach, find a native Hawaiian, and settle
it once and for all.
So they walk to a working class neighborhood in Honolulu, find
a big dark-skinned guy sitting on a stoop, and wearing the traditional
Hawaiian garb that looks like what saw when they'd see a native pork
roast beach party on Hawaii Five-0.
They know there's a Hawaiian word for native pork roast beach party,
but always dance around that, figuring that just saying native pork
roast beach party would keep the peace. And it's clear enough.
Even Hawaii Five-0 is called just Five-0 in their household.
Being big fans of Five-0 and Don Ho, and even knowing the words of
"Tiny Bubbles" by heart only exacerbates this disagreement about how
to pronounce Hawaii beyond their normal level of bickering.
They like Hawaii. Why let it come between them?
They could find plenty else to divorce over, so they both figure they
won't let it be Hawaii
So here they are actually in Hawaii, and it has come to a head.
They even agree on how the question will be asked, so as not to
influence the person they ask. Small victory right there.
Husband says to the guy, "Excuse me, sir. My wife and I are having a
slight disagreement about how to pronounce the name of these fine set
of islands that comprise the 50th state. How do you pronounce it?"
The guy says, "I say it Ha-Vy-ee."
Wife smirks at husband, say to him, "That settles that."
She turns to the guy and says, "Thank you sir! Thank you very much!!"
He replies, "You're velcome."

And so, my dear friend and rec.boats colleague, my reply to your most
generous thanks is "You're velcome!"

Don't know. Don't care. Just know that Kauai was the neatest place I have
ever been to. My wife asked me what I'd do if I hit the lottery. I said go
to Kauai for three months, maybe longer.

Really don't care where she goes.

Wife to hubby: Honey, pack yer bags, we hit the lottery.
Hubby to wife: Should I pack for the beach or the mountains?
Wife to hubby: I don't care, just pack your bags and go.

Actually, if the Dem leaders are going to play against the Reps they
should
eat more red meat. As rare as possible. Reid and Pelosi are the
definition
of wimps. Some have the testicular fortitude to stand up, like Grayson,
but
not the top dogs.


Yeah, he really does call names better than most doesn't he? Is that
your number one concern in a pol?


I like him because he speaks his mind rather than wring his hands and worry
about his realationships in DC.
When I didn't support Bush in 04 I was part of a group that was called
"un-patriotic and "un-American" by the wacky Right. When I supported Obama
the group was renamed "socialist" and "communist" and "haters of America" by
the wacky Right.
So when a Republican whines and cries and snivels about being picked by by a
Democrat I find it frigging hillarious!!!!

And to think many on the right believe every word he utters....

Last evening on my drive home, I was listening to Hannity. He made a
statement about the weather in Geneva where they are having the
climate talks. Well, this idiot said something to the affect that
global warming is a hoax because the weather in Geneva was supposed to
be a record cold! THEN he had the guy that is the head of AccuWeather
on. Now if you listen to Hannity, he'll ask questions in such a manner
that it will help in HIS discussion. Well the weather guy was asked by
Hannity something like well, if the weather in Geneva is this record
cold, doesn't this disspell the global warming debate? The weather
guy, who is Hannity's friend replied, "no, it doesn't mean anything
like that. As a matter of fact, there is very real evidence that
global warming IS real." Now, Hannity didn't like this answer, so he
asked "but does this mean that man is causing global warming?" The
weather guy answered "No, it doesn't, but it doesn't mean that man has
NOT caused global warming. Again, there is a LOT of data suggesting
that man's pollutants and co2 levels have had an affect on warming. We
just don't know how much." These may not be exact quotes, but that was
from the horses mouth! So what did Hannity do? Changed the subject of
course.


One thing the hard right has to be applauded for is thier ability to
stick
together no matter what. And to blindly follow the party line.


As does the left... so what. Folks who believe in American Values stick
together, what's your point?


My point is that blind loyaty is stupid no matter what party, but the Reps
get my attention more than the Dems because you're louder.

Needing to act would mean installing technology to cope with the
situation. Needing to act means doing sensible things that involve
hardware and technology. It does not mean issuing what is essentially
Monopoly money to foreign governments. Carbon credits? Sounds like
transference of money to me, just under another name. All it's going to
cost is $100 billion a year. And where does that money come from? And who
gets a cut? ALGORE for one. Lord Moncton. Rothschilds. It goes on from
there. It's hypocritical to be talking about taking action when flying in
an obsolete GulfStream jet, and having a global warming conference in the
middle of a blizzard. Especially when you're spouting that Americans are
energy hogs and need to cut back the thermostat, wear more clothes while
indoors, and use less fuel in transportation. But that's only for the
little people. The lower class. Were you born this stupid, or were you
educated into it?

Technology is part of the answer, obviously.

Transfer of money... what a horrible thing. Western nations destroying 3rd
world countries' environments, then leaving them on their own to deal with
it. Yes, that seems fair.
