tvashtarkatena Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Wow, 2 simo-Rossi ads on that link. The guy's proving he's still really good at blowing other people's money. "Control the spending!" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 This pretty much says it Scepticism in science is not bad, but sceptics must play by the rules of science including publishing their conclusions in peer-reviewed scientific journals and not make claims that are not substantiated by the peer-reviewed literature. The need for responsible scepticism is particularly urgent if misinformation from sceptics could lead to great harm. The responses to this thread may be amusing. Then again I can already guess what "poster ***" has to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_b Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The article is understating reality: millions already suffer from climate change every year and over a 100k per year die because of it according to the UN. It's not the first time in history that active denialism has led to crimes against humanity and it's good that some in the establishment are finally waking up to what some of us have been saying for years. Let's also not forget the jackbooted tactics of deniers against climate researchers. Outstanding scientists like Michael Mann and others are smeared, harassed, and their careers threatened on a daily basis by neo-McCartyists/GOP officials in position of power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_b Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 wut? Progressives are certainly justified in blaming corporocrats and their toadies for the lack of action to mitigate global warming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prole Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 As long as we've got somebody to blame other than ourselves. Is this like when some people we're saying the Gulf oil spill was my fault because I drive a car and it later turned out to be a botched Halliburton job and poor regulatory oversight?

j_b Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) I just quit driving for life. ONE LESS MASSIVE OIL SPILL! so you must be biking because I doubt public transit is worth diddly in your neck of the woods, which likely leaves plenty of options for granny when she goes shopping (we wouldn't want her to blame others for global warming, you know ) Edited November 2, 2010 by j_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Late dropoff so you can be the tie-breaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prole Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 That, and I was still undecided until a few hours ago. So my vote is extra important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
