Not that that is difficult, but he should get SOME props.

It is also amazing the number of people who don’t know the difference between an editorial and a news article. Sigh.

Climate Change is a fact. Exactly how much we’re responsible for and what we can actually control is up for serious debate. Because I’d say the answer to that last one is pretty much nil.

I think people are making a critical mistake mixing up newscasters and commentators. Your local 10 o’clock news is a newscaster. Rachel Maddow and Bill O’Reilly are commentators.

P.S. I apologize to any douches out there that I might have insulted by comparing you to Trollin in my previous post. Please accept this apology and the new title of “lord douche baggery” for Trollin instead.

What’s with this “knee-jerk reaction” catch phrase lately? Seems out of place when it’s used for the most part.. such as:

Trollin, i’ve linked something for you. It’s a break down of the scientific method and the steps involved. True, you can use it to disprove a theory but you can also use it to prove a theory true. I’d link examples of this but just go read a newspaper or, better yet, go to high school.

And, as far as I’ve understood the situation with global warming so far it’s this: The earth goes through cycles of hot and cold depeding on a variety of things. The increase in output of certain chemicals and what not have increased the rate at of the heating cycle and it is compounded by the fact that the cycle isn’t slowing down at all in normal manners due to the nature of those same chemicals much like a green house effect (hence the name). Using Mars or Venus as examples of an extreme result of this green house effect you can compare the current situation on Earth as a possible forerunner of those climates. (Notice I said “possible”).
What’s concerned scientists from what I’ve read isn’t that it’s heating, that’s happened before, but as I said both the rate at which it’s heating and the events it’s causing – such as the glacial meltings which opened the northwest passage and their discovery of particular bacteria beneath those glaciers that will, if anything, further the heating process exponentially.

So, before you get all caught up in being a douche, do some research.

Ok, I’ll bite, sort of.

No-one is disputing the existence of the “hockey stick” graph. What is in dispute is the pro-AGW intrepretation of that graph. Since I’ve recently seen a meaningful scaled version of it, and failed to find the Medievil warm, the little Ice Age or correlate the start of the bend with any of the increases in fossil fuel burning, perhaps you’d like to explain the reasons for those issues if pro-AGW?

Nice knee-jerk, liberal dooshbags.

No one CAN prove global warming is affected by man. Science can only disprove a theory, it can’t prove anything. It’s called the scientific method.

Go back to high school, for the love of g-d, or STFU about matters in which you are unschooled.

Well, that’s the general hypothesis, but you should see the lab work that just came back on it. I’m thinking Nobel Prize. And I only had to kill 278 trolls to get the results.

So do I, Eric. Trolls = Contributing nothing. Trollin’= Contributes nothing of any substance to the conversation, nor citing his sources, and Trolls= Suck so Trollin’= Suckin’.

it’s not their right leanings that i take issue with. it’s their willingness to report rumors as facts and their claim of being “fair and balanced” when they’re obviously not either. if they claimed to be a right leaning, biased news source who sometimes ignore facts to tell a compelling tale, i’d have no problem. i wouldn’t watch it, but i wouldn’t have any issue with it. and before you go thinking i’m a disgruntled leftie, i’d like to point out that i feel the same way about left leaning journalists who also claim to be unbiased.
if you want unbiased (or as close to it as possible) try public television, or npr.
really, people who want the news ought to use as many sources as possible from as many perspectives as possible, and try to sift out the truth themselves. even if you watch 3 different news shows, read 4 different papers, and listen to 2 different radio news programs every day, if they all lean either right or left, you are just getting the exact same perspective every time, and you aren’t getting the full story.

Yeah, the other day when she asked Charlie if he needed a tampon I was willing to write Amekaze off as an Anniee type debater. However further down on the thread s/he (sorry Amekaze, I don’t know if you are a boy or girl) argued pretty respectfully and even apologized for a generalization s/he made earlier. So I’m all for breaking out the welcome cookies.

How to know where you are on the liberal/conservative spectrum:
You consider MSNBC to be balanced: you’re liberal
You know MSNBC is biased, but you like it anyway: you’re liberal and closed minded
You consider Keith Olbermann to be the greatest journalist alive: you’re liberal and crazy
You like Olbermann, but as a guilty pleasure: you’re liberal and a possibly a jackass (like me)
You think both MSNBC & Fox are crap: probably a moderate
You think both MSNBC & Fox are balanced: you’re too wishy-washy, and are likely not liberal, conservative, or moderate
You think Fox News is balanced: you’re a conservative
You think Fox News is biased but you like it anyway: you’re a conservative and a jerk
You think Sean Hannity is the greatest journalist ever: you’re a conservative and you’re crazy
You like Sean Hannity, but as a guilty pleasure: you’re conservative and probably a jackass
You don’t watch TV news: Too good for TV news, huh? Jackass.

“And only liberals say fox news is biased. It’s a conspiracy!!”

“Dose ANYONE actually think their gonna convince another person of their own opinion over the internet?

Or is this all a very elaborate verbal pissing contest?”
