Who gives a ****?

I'll bet the sun was. Jeez, no wonder no one will talk to you. Stick with name-calling. So, if I say that there's a condition called high blood pressure, then there can be one and only one cause for that condition? Try looking up the word condition: Truth is that no one really knows for sure what caused mass instinctions or ice ages in the past. There has been a lot of research and informed speculation but nothing that I'd describe as conclusive. The one thing we know for sure is that past actions of mankind had nothing to do with it. The other thing we know for sure is that large numbers of people in and out of academia are competing for research funding and they are not above releasing a dramatic press release every now and then. Anyone who takes all of these dire pronouncements as gospel needs to get a life. Actually, you're almost right. It's not possible to know with absolute certainty what caused extinctions. There are some good theories (that would be scientific theories, which include forming and testing hypothesis). You can not make a serious claim that the small dollars being spent on climate research in any way influences the overwhelming data on how mankind has affected the environment, esp. when compared to the enormous amount of money big oil and heavy industries are spending to try and debunk or undercut the science with their own dramatic press nonsense and commercials. The vast consensus is that mankind has been negatively influencing the environment since the Industrial Revolution began, and it's generally getting worse not better. Something needs to be done, and we need to start now. Science is not about taking pronouncements as "gospel." In fact, skepticism is the basis for the scientific method. Those not well educated believe that because there is some overblown and ginned up controversy that means the whole notion of adverse, mankind created climate change is in doubt. It isn't. Those not well educated look at a cold winter or a violent storm or whatever and proclaim that there is no such thing as global warming or that it's a fact. It's much more nuance than that. In typical fashion you have missed the point and changed the subject. In typical fashion, you're just as ignorant as Knuckles. For the record: 1. No one knows for sure what caused mass extinctions and ice ages. Nobody is disputing this. 2. With the exception of the last ice age, mankind as we know it did not yet exist, ergo, no involvement. Nobody is disputing this. Those facts are indsputable. You're stupidity is indisputable also. Point #2: A lot of dramatic press releases regarding some new gloom and doom scenario are designed to capture media attention and help gain funding for some narrowly targeted research effort. In the world of science that's called preserving your job. Over and out. Yeah, you're over and out. How about all the TV commercials from big oil about how committed they are to the environment? Who's spending the real money, big oil or Greenpeace? In the world of industry, that's called the profit motive. Feel free to tool around, spewing out god knows what amount of hydrocarbons in search of your "middle class" nightmare. |

There's not much funnier here than Herring or W'hine taking the "high moral ground" for themselves, since they are the very same sort of scumbags as the rest of their right-wing buddies here.

If I keep this up someone will think that I only created MY group so I could talk about "talking" about boating, and that I really have NO interest in actually talking about boating. Wow, life is complicated. -- Want to discuss recreational boating and fishing in a forum where personal insults are not allowed? http://groups.google.com/group/rec-boating-fishing |
