What Happened 2000 Years Ago?
 
Here we go again. It's only been a couple of hours and the the
"scientists" are changing their minds. Will they ever get it right?

Gosh, wouldn't it be refreshing to have them say, for a change, "We
don't know"? They don't know. I don't know. But I do know they don't
know the temperatures of a few hundred years ago - and certainly not a
few thousand.

I gotta think this whole warming nonsense is nothing more than a tool
for those that wish our technology would just plain stop. Pure
politics.

I am old enough to remember when the same folks were spouting off about
"global cooling". Go ahead - say "I don't know". Yeah, right.

They don't "change their minds". They interpret data. When they
interpret previously unused data, things change. Have you ever altered
your stance on something when you've been given proof that your
previous mindset was wrong?

Yes, I have altered my stance. At one time I thought you were just a
mindless twit but, now I know you are a mindless twit.

It must be true, he heard it on right-wing hate-talk radio.

All this environmentalist crap is from the limp-wristed
libby-rulls who want the gov'mint to take away your SUV...
it's the first step towards taking away your guns... next
they'll outlaw NASCAR and chewin' tobacco...

Lost my good job in the city
For trollin' through the groups every night and day
I've been known to lose one whole lot of sleep
Staring at the sceen to think of somethin' to say
My need for self expression
Trumps courtesy or discretion
So I'm trollin', trollin',
Trollin' through the newsgroups.

Talked a lotta trash in rec.boats
Repeatin' things from PBS or FOX TV
Gotta take ahold of these usenet groups
To glorify the White House or the DNC
My need for self expression
Trumps courtesy or discretion
So I'm trollin', trollin',
Trollin' through the newsgroups.

When you drop into the newsgroup
You know you're gonna find a lot of people who spin
It don't really matter who you flame or who you insult
It's an argument that nobody can win
My need for self expression
Trumps courtesy or discretion
So I'm trollin', tgrollin',
Trollin' through the newsgroups.
Trollin', trollin',
Trollin' through the newsgroups.

Dale,

Like you, I remember back in the 70's or 80's all the "experts" were
talking about global cooling, all the news reports about the coming ice
age, it was everywhere. And then the weather started getting warmer,
and they stopped talking about the next ice age, and started talking
about global warming. Didn't they blame it on the same gasses?

I remember when they tried to blame it on Freon getting up there and
destroying the ozone layer. One little problem, Freon's heavier than
air, it stays down here with us, not up in the ozone layer, they
stopped talking about it.

I guess the "experts" changed their minds about global cooling. Anyone
want to guess what they'll come up with 10 or 20 years from now when it
starts to cool off again? Unfortunately, the young people of today
never heard these reports, they were too young, or weren't born yet. So
they beleave what their told and taught. And the news people are just
looking for a story, they don't really care if it's true or not, their
just telling you what the experts said, that's their out. Anyone that
knows anything about statistics can tell you a one degree change in a
short period of time (400 years out of the life of this planet is less
than a blink of an eye, over thousands of years, you may have
something) is insignificant. But hey, it keeps all the "experts" off
unemployment.

Bert, why don't you post where in the NAS's report they have revised
any data from 400 years to 2000 years.

Obviously, all of the mind changing, twisted logic, and
(dis)information is coming from your "breitbart" source.

Since you are relying on them for the "facts," why don't you explain
the accuracy of their article:
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/0....07o4imol.html
which was posted the same day as the NSA report?

They really seem to be challenged by the facts as much as Santorum
was. You guys just don't value fact checking prior to disclosure very
much do you?


Last night's news reported comments FROM THE PENTAGON which said the mustard
gas was virtually useless at the time of our arrival, and dated back as far
as the Iran-Iraq war. They added that these were not the types of weapons
they considered to be a priority. Some must think the Pentagon is now a
hotbed of left-wing thinking.

Childish and petty name calling certainly does nothing for your
credibility. Grow up.
