  1. Oh really? So the govt having to place a tax on carbon and cooperating with the world in this is a socialist plot to you. I call that fucking stupid. And I don't give a shit that you don't like my cursing. Like I said. Go learn something about AGW that's not from your right wing propaganda and get back to us. Destroy the economy? Yes, I think you are stupid.

    The most recent pew survey showed otherwise.
    I quoted it on et in the last few days.

    Its just impossible for anyone to take you seriously when you act like that.

    Any, its all over for you guys.

    I'm sure you'll continue to cut and paste your propaganda but I'm not sure anyone is still listening. The issue will slowly die out over time and you can reflect in your old age about what a damned fool you were back in the day.

  4. Yes, many people have fallen for the doubt-mongers campaign.

    Hell half of the people still think we came from Adam and Eve.

    Yes, there are many stupid people in the US. Most of them are righties.

    377OHMS

    So, "every science organization in the world" has got it wrong then?

    Ok.

    Another way of saying that is "no science organization in the world believes in AGW".

    You wanna rephrase that or is it accurate?

    National and international science academies and scientific societies have assessed current scientific opinion on global warming. These assessments are generally consistent with the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report summarized:

    • Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as evidenced by increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, the widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.[5]
    • Most of the global warming since the mid-20th century is very likely due to human activities.[6]
    • Benefits and costs of climate change for [human] society will vary widely by location and scale.[7] Some of the effects intemperate and polar regions will be positive and others elsewhere will be negative.[7] Overall, net effects are more likely to be strongly negative with larger or more rapid warming.[7]
    • The range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.[8]
    • The resilience of many ecosystems is likely to be exceeded this century by an unprecedented combination of climate change, associated disturbances (e.g.flooding, drought, wildfire, insects, ocean acidification) and other global change drivers (e.g. land-use change, pollution, fragmentation of natural systems, over-exploitation of resources).[9]
    No scientific body of national or international standing maintains a formal opinion dissenting from any of these main points. The last national or international scientific body to drop dissent was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists,[10] which in 2007[11] updated its statement to its current non-committal position.[12] Some other organizations, primarily those focusing on geology, also hold non-committal positions.
