If you deny man-made global warming...

[The Aryan Nations]

To deny global warming is to prefer fantasy to reality. To decide that one will believe as one wishes despite petty things like facts or reason.

It's not possible to look at the data and come to any honest conclusion other than what scientists have come up with.

BTW, Watch 130 years of global warming in 30 seconds here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/01/3 ... 30-seconds

Rapid (and drastic)changes must be made NOW. Or you may as well forget any future for human civilization.

Warming periods have shown the Rise of Rome, the rise of Europe, and the Rise of china.

the cooling periods show the Death of rome, the death of the Maya, many more storms of higher intensity, famines, floods, etc etc. i suggest you read up on the little ice age.

For the love of God, how can you miss the elephant in the room of 21.3 billion tonnes of CO² produced every year by burning fossil fuels. The carbon cycle can only absorb half that amount. Anthropogenic global warming is a demonstrable fact, and it will drive us to ruin unless we take quick measures against it.

but i think magical mechanismless 'cycles' must be to blame. also, it isn't happening. also, it will be awesome.
so nyah!

Besides, Europe is really cold right now. I bet those fools still believe in 'global' 'warming' even while they have days off for snow

Ah, but I have a heavily sourced, reviewed thing of my own:

You seem to be confusing the statements:

"the facts say you are wrong, and there's no reason your opinion should matter when you know nothing about the topic"
and
"you're dumb and stupid and I don't like you because you disagree"

Please make a note of it.

I believe the statement was: "You deny climate change. Therefore you are ignorant and stupid. GTFO."

Nowhere have I denied climate change.

You believe incorrectly.

As someone who is in the "it is happening but I feel that the man made claim is dubious" camp, I don't like it how some people tend to think that their way/view is the only one that matters and they have no time for others, reiterating the same boring stuff every single time and then trying to claim some moral superiority.

and i don't like the way that people who know nothing about the topic - and refuse to learn - think their lazy assumptions about how the world is have any bearing on the fact that a) global warming is real, b) global warming is caused by us, c) global warming is dangerous, and d) drastic actions are necessary right fucking now to mitigate the damage.

now im confused... are you agreeing with my global warming is natural if it even exists, or of the OMFG GLOBAL WARMING WTF camp

You're totally right. Does anyone know how to become a sociopath? I'd like to find a way to take pleasure in mass starvation. It's a skill I think I'll need to learn.

Look very closely:

As I have never denied climate change, the correct assumption of my post was "You deny it. You're ignorant and stupid. GTFO." Of course, not as blatant as he's referred to other people but the idea is the same.

..what?

Global cooling = famines
global warming = humans explosively develop

i dont see where you are getting that statement.

Nowhere have I denied climate change.

it doesn't even take denial. you either know shit about climate change yourself - in which case you are going to be onboard with the scientific consensus, because its really that obviously correct - or you don't know shit about climate change, and should either learn or just let the grownups talk.

if you don't know shit about structural engineering, you aren't allowed to have opinions about how strong the beams in this building need to be.

Talking about failure of the education system?

Galileo may have been the only man of his Era to say earth revolved around the sun, but turns out, he was right.

Um, no he was not the only one. Not at all. Bet you thought Columbus was a ROUND-EARTH IS TRUE visionary in the darkness of a flat-earth believing world.

i dont think you read that correctly. i said revolved around the sun, not is round.

[Tubbsalot]

now im confused... are you agreeing with my global warming is natural if it even exists, or of the OMFG GLOBAL WARMING WTF camp

Global warming exists and is caused overwhelmingly by human activity, as anyone who's had even a basic overview of the topic knows.

I'm not going to insult people for not knowing things (there's not enough time in life to learn everything ever, even if we wanted to), but it really gets on my tits when people think they know things because they once read the book Global Warming Is A Scam And Scientists Are All Frauds, All Of Them, The Lying Fucks, Don't Listen To Them! by British Petroleum Corp.

Books are not a scientific source. Look for a peer-reviewed journal article in a vaguely reputable journal. As a source, nothing else comes close.

Incidentally, unless you're going to respond to my earlier reply, I don't see how you can bring yourself to keep posting here. How transparent.

>implying all scientists support global warming

i found it too idiotic to grace with a reply.

you said something about columbus saying the earth was round. which had nothing to do with the earth revolving around the sun.

[Eviliatopia]

Climate science is young, it is easy to manipulate it. The "consensus" is also fake, science has never progressed through consensus.
Science is debate. Ever heard of Claude Allègre? He got an equivalent of a Nobel Prize in Geochemistry and Geology.

He just disagreed with other scientists on Global Warming. He was insulted by the media, and dismissed from the political sphere for writing a skeptical book!!
It's batshit insane.

You should take a look at this, too.

i dont see where you are getting that statement.

The fall of Rome and all of those other events are very complicated things, and attributing them to climate change solely is silly of the utmost degree. You going to address my post, by the way?

>implying all scientists support global warming

Not all, but a very, very high percentage of them. That should be setting off warning bells in your head, tbh.

EDIT: Fixed link.

[Salma]

It's a common misconception in a similar vein about a similar subject.

You don't see where I'm getting what statement?

So long as enough people continue to say (and believe) things such as what you have said (just think about it a little bit...) we have no hope. As is I'm really compassionate and I hate seeing people and animals suffer.

Which is why learning to be a sociopath would be a great thing to do.

im going to anticipate their argument and say pluto is not a planet.. but i support this link.

>implying all scientists support global warming

nobody really supports global warming. they do accept the empirically and theoretically solid theory of anthropogenic global warming, though. not all, sure. just the overwhelmingly vast supermajority of all of them, and effectively all of them that are active publishers in relevant fields.

What is this shit? Atlas Shrugged is not sociopathic .

the rise of rome happened during a period of global warming. still with me? rome... was... GOOD. shit got done, science exploded..

during the period of global cooling.. known as the little ice age... THERE WAS MASS FAMINE. THAT WAS BAD.

comprende?
