97% of all climate scientists agree that it's already happening[nasa.gov]


it's no longer a question of whether it's occuring or not, the question now is how high the temperature will go.

So you're saying that there isn't consensus.

120 years is an insignificant amount of years, you could shrink it to the last 15 and there hasn't been any warming. Expand the graph and you'll see that there have been numerous warming and cooling periods throughout Earth's history, we're leaving a cool period right now. Now where were all those emissions coming from a 100 million years ago? Also forgive me for not trusting climate models, they're a simulation of something that could never be replicated and these guys can't even get tomorrow's weather right now so I am to believe they were keeping accurate measurements of global temperatures a 100+ years ago? What is called "climate science" now is a made up subject, there entire point of it is to study the AGW theory so obviously they believe it. C

there would be, see that bit at the end?not really, the last cooling period ended in the 70s[nasa.gov]probably left over from the formation of the earth, which is why dinosaurs were so bigok then, where's your source for your claims?you're conflating climate science with your tv weatherman, and science isn't a question of belief.

I don't really see how global warming specifically effects medical treatment...however I would not be opposed to doctors being encouraged to explain health risks caused by environmental problems, if some of those are related to global warming so be it........but I'd think things like gross chemicals humans put into the air, destroying vast eco-systems, fracking and things that more directly cause health problems. Global warming more causes environmental changes to the weather/geology and crap not sickness.

We went over this. Pollen counts appear to be increasing in pace with global warming.

Every one of the last 20 years or so has been the worst year in recorded history for pollen allergies.

Knock on wood but I'm glad I don't have any allergies or asthma, pollen has no effect on me as far as I know. My parents actually live like right across the street from a giant melon field which is a ragweed and it doesn't ever really get cold. So yeah, I don't support a carbon tax.

Until magnolia trees start growing in Utah, I have no allergies. I learned years ago, living in California, that I am allergic to magnolias. Even then, it wasn't too aggravated.

No, the right and left just practice intellectuality on different issues.
Coming from the left, I take being called an anti-intellectual, a philistine, a thug, or a churl as a compliment so by all means keep it coming.

this kind of contrarian stance is why America has been declining.

I don't believe it is contrarian. It is ambivalence of an illogical tactic. I have written at WrongPlanet.net that I don't care when people call me racist. It doesn't stick.

Yes, it's an awful place.
We live on rats and sawdust bread and sometimes... on each other. At night, the pyres for the dead light up the sky.
It's medieval.

So tell me in your own words what makes a neighborhood "honest"?

A rather vociferous liberal at work one time took a little bit of an issue with the HK (you guessed it; Heckler & Koch) shirt I was wearing one day, stating in a contemptuous tone that he wasn't surprised I (being a conservative) would wear something with that logo on it. He said that I was knowingly supporting a company with obvious ties to neo-nazism (his words, not mine) and how disturbing it was. He looked to me to go on the defensive.
I snapped my heels together and extended my right arm sharply up at an angle and said in a clear sharp tone, "Arbeit macht frei Motherf***er. Six million dead _____ can't be wrong!"

I gave him the exact opposite of what he expected by aggressively turning into the attack instead of away from it. You should have seen the priceless expression his face. It went from total jaw dropping slack disbelief, to scared white, then blood red with rage when he knew he'd just been Pwn'd by me and that nothing would be done about it. The two or three others there laughed as he stormed away in anger. He would have no one to report it to with any real effect since most everyone there was a conservative, especially upper management, and were weary of his childishness. It would have been obvious to them that I was just giving him a richly deserved teasing.
At best they'd give me a good, albeit tongue in cheek, talking too but that's it. Nothing on my record and no suspension. He knew that and skulked for weeks, butthurt by the injustice of it all.
I ordered another H&K shirt and wore both a lot more just to rub salt in the wound.

I've given similar treatment to others that have asked for it before and since then.

Extra pollen does not necessarily mean increased allergies, BTW.

Regardless of whether or not climate warming exists or not, or whether or not climate change is contributing to pollen counts, doctors should be focused on why our bodies are reacting badly to non-threatening particles in the environment. *This* is medicine.

I live deep in the woods, and I have seen how much more pollen there is this year, after a very long, snowy winter (and late spring.) However, while my husband and I have had a *couple* of bad allergy days, our allergies are not worse than in other years. My husband used to have to take a daily asthma medication, but no longer needs to. My guess is it has to do with our lifestyle and the fact that we drink raw goat milk from our own goats - stuff that the government says is dangerous.

His mistake was the illogic of attack.

You have self-identified. We don't need your acquiescence, so it was unnecessary to seek it, and a mistake to seek it aggressively.

The "did you know that (x, y, z)?!" line is useless. You know. That you prefer it that way is what is wrong with you.
