Nobody that has crap for brains denies that is happening. The "WHY" is what is important. Good science will tell us whether man is contributing 99% or 1% to the temperature rise. Neither Hannity nor Gore are going to give you good science, but if you are having an acute attack of cognitive dissonance they probably have a temporary cure for that. 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. |

Fox doesn't take kindly to those who disagree with the memo. Accu-Weather can be replaced. Plenty of other weather outfits. --Vic Yeah, when I want both sides of an issue I don't turn of FOX where there are always representatives from both sides, I turn on MSNBC or NPR and hear both sides from one point of view... That's funny Vic... So answer the question Saran didn't, where do you get your news? Fox is a fraud. It's not a news channel. Tosk is a fraud. He's not a thinking human. |

Using your logic, we should sit on our hands until its positively proven we have some net effect on the atmosphere. In that case, why the hell should we cut emissions? I think we should bring back all the flourocarbons. I miss 'em. |

Using your logic, we should sit on our hands until its positively proven we have some net effect on the atmosphere. 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 bring back all the flourocarbons. I miss 'em.

wrote: Thanks Vic, my dear friend and colleague;) 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!" --Vic |
