***Memo to the Global Warming Cult***

[myksav]

Illiterate in science. Illiterate in English. Ignorant of knowledge and stupid beyond belief. Congratulations on making a total fool of yourself.

Ah, Tommy, you just had to quote that, didn't you! I have that on ignore. Spoilsport.

Pity the Original Poster isn't named on the Latest Discussions page, twould save the resultant tedium of opening a thread and seeing it by something like the OP of this thread.

Dear global warming fanatics,
Please. Stop. You’re embarrassing yourselves.

Dear child of a crack head,

Please stop. The world already knows you're a tool you don't need to advertise.

Please. Stop.

Pretty much the best contribution of your post

The carbonphobia virus and is spread through a combination of circumstances.
Symptoms
Those prone to infection will have one or more of the following symptoms:
•They are poorly educated in and generally ignorant about general science and find math difficult or even confusing.
•They have no knowledge of the science of climate or climate change.
•They tune in to NPR, PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, or CNN.
•They believe without question what they read in Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc., etc..
•They have watched Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth and find it convincing.

Revealing manifestations of the carbonphobia virus include:
•A belief that burning fossil fuels will destroy earth by making it too hot to sustain life.
•A belief that human activity can change climate.
•A belief that if humans just stop burning fossil fuels, all will be restored to “normal.”
•A belief that we must “do something” to avert a climate “crisis.”

It may be necessary for infected individuals to purge massive amounts of misinformation about climate science that has been instilled in them by false prophets, undeducated teachers, and misinformed media. The best place to start is with some fundamental facts about the greenhouse effect and climate change.
Facts About The Greenhouse Effect and Climate Change
•The greenhouse effect is not a significant climate change force. It is a process for retaining heat from the sun.
•The greenhouse effect does not create heat, it merely retains heat produced by the sun.
•Carbon dioxide is a minor contributor to greenhouse heat retention. Water vapor (and clouds of water vapor) are responsible for up to 95% of greenhouse heat retention; all other greenhouse gases account for the remainder (carbon dioxide is the most potent of the remainder of greenhouse gases after water vapor).
•Carbon dioxide is always being created and absorbed by natural processes. The decay of plant and animal life produces, among other things, carbon dioxide. Animals and insects produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct of digestion and respiration. Plants absorb carbon dioxide, giving off oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
•The properties of carbon dioxide limit its greenhouse heat retention to less than 3.0°C (5.4°F), regardless of the amount put into the atmosphere.
•The first 20 ppm of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere (from zero base) provides more greenhouse heat retention than the next 380 ppm combined.
•Carbon dioxide’s impact on heat retention declines logarithmically as more is added to the atmosphere.

All those infected with the carbonphobia virus should stop getting their news from MSM immediately and seek medical help.

I have avoided the carbonphobia virus by realizing that the earth has gone through many climate changes in its history and will continue to do so.

Another example of Orwelian doublethink, but one bit i find funny is this:

•They tune in to NPR, PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, or CNN.

So basically, every network in America, except fox news is biased and can't be trusted.

"That's a stupid thing to call us"
"He used us! That proves it!"

No I am not.

I think someone needs to buy this man a dictionary

Thanks I will send you my address.
I already have three Dictionaries Longman Top Pocket English Dictionary, Collins Modern English Dictionary and my personal favorite Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary, I probably need to get a new one though because it is no longer the twentieth century. I also use dictionary.com. You should try it out, it is great! And when can I expect that new dictionary?

Good one rhonda, be assured that I do not have the carbonphobia virus. I wash my hands frequently and wear a scarf over my mouth when on the train or bus.

My favourite part is where the vast majority of climatologists are accused of not knowing what they're talking about. Yet more copypasta from the usual suspects.

hey Politics.Irie
could you open up a thread on the record
cold temps predicted for Copenhagen this week?
Thanks
