Comments on: Washington Post Perpetuates Myth of Scientific Debate About Basic Facts of Global Warming

[...] Two important points need to be made: 1. Bush casts his answer in terms of a debate that exists on whether greenhouse gases are caused by human activity. In fact, as ThinkProgress has repeatedly documented, there is no scientific debate on this issue. Not a single peer-reviewed study conducted between 1993 and 2003 challenged the consensus that the earthâ€™s temperature is rising due to human activity. [...]

Ahem, you have an MIT professor challenging the CO2 claims, and you also have Dr. Gray, the most respected hurricane scientist in the USA, you does not believe it.

Keep trying to claim there is no debate! It’s your only hope of winning the debate – by claiming there is none.

[...] I just read a hard-hitting post on Think Progress that decried a line in the Washington Post yesterday morning. The WP article, “Canada Alters Course on Kyoto,” stated: Canada, which has long clung to its â€œgreenâ€ image, hosted early work that led to the Kyoto Protocol, in which 163 countries and regional organizations pledged to meet quotas to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that many scientists believe are warming Earth, melting glaciers and brewing more-intense storms.

It seems as though the Right-Wingers have a backup plan just in case they loose control of the United States federal government. They intend to remake Canada in their image. It is a last-ditched attempt to create at least one country in the world where they can escape to incase their plans fail in the U.S. Evil always survives in one form or another.

Canada! Prepare yourselves for at least 40 years of Reichwing Hell!

The conservative radical Nazi movement will start in Canada much the same way it did in America. Weak and mild. Later on though, the Right-wingers in Canada will become identical to their American counterparts. It’s gonna happen to them just as it happened to us. First Germany, then China, then the United States, and now it’s Canada’s turn.

God Have Mercy on Their Canadiam Souls!!!!!

scalar, the earth has three different rotation cycles, you only accounted for two. that gives you at best a D+_ In addition our solar systems rotates about the galaxtic center every 220.000,000 years. therefore F(Gravitional)=G M(Sun). M (Earth)/d Sqd is bogus. As Spock would say “That does not compute”. Try again.

My friends who have been married the longest say it’s separate bathrooms that keep their marriage intact… but maybe Kate was on to something there. Has to be something to be said for not knowing all the details. Knowledge of certain things just sorta dulls the romance… : )

Reality has a Liberal Bias, the global warming issue is just another entry in the long list of issues where CONservatives refuse to face reality because it’s a Liberal one.

I’m of the Kate Hepburn way of thinking myself:

I wish I was raised that way, I might have made better choices.

Me too, then ignorant people would be less inclined to call a majority of us ’spinster’ or ask if we’re gay. Amazing how our culture is still puritanican when it comes to women and marriage.

But I find more people are understanding once they’ve been married for a while with kids or divorced. They understand that it’s not a choice to be made just to have the Mrs. title. That it’s hard. That a 64% divorce rate for those married since 1990 is that way for a reason.

But the testoterone fading thing, Iâ€™m not so sure about that. ;)

#4 Yea, so what that every independent study about global warming agrees that it is happening? Given enough time and money, the GOP will buy a scientist to say global warming is a myth.

So when does the testosterone fade, Iâ€™m 38 and see no sign of that yet.

From what my guy friend s and relatives have told me, you’re a few years past due – usually early thirties. Not that it stops – just changes the thinking about sex intervals from every 5 seconds to maybe every 30. Allows you to have a conversation in between. And consider the consequences of your urge to fight or f everything… :)

Bit, you should congratulate yourself. More males are conceived than females, but by 18 years old, there are more women than men. Testosterone makes you all do risky things that sometimes don’t go very well… (ever see that show Jackass ?)
