From sparkling city skylines to moonlit rural landscapes, night time scenes can be enchanting. Although digital cameras are capable of capturing more color within a night scene than the human eye is capable of registering, capturing such a view require…

That is the final distinction, the rightwhinge, unlike the rightwing which is just generally mistaken, likes being wrong.

Newsflash Rightwhinge: We don’t really care if your feelings get hurt you wussies, we don’t care if you don’t like the truth, and frankly we don’t care if you think that this will mean you won’t get that armegeddon you want so badly.

You bastards have ignored warning after warning, and frankly there is a school of thought within scientific communities which states that it is too late because you wankers refused to listen to people who actually spent their entire adult lives studying the subject. It was far more convenient for you rightwhingers to pooh-pooh the idea and attack the messengers, even on shit which didn’t actually happen.

We don’t care anymore whether or not we have your buy in, we care about making sure that tomorrow, we have a world we can live in. We don’t care whether or not you respect us, because frankly you lost our respect years ago when you started championing torture and calling that America’s ideals. We don’t care about your opinion anymore because you whiny sots have proven once and for all that your opinion is not worth anything.

And if I am coming off as being a bit emotional, well lets just say its the whole survival of the species thing speaking.

“Liberal” is such a pretty name for such an ugly poster. Your mom said to tell the thread she doesn’t know where you picked up such dirty language.

I already brought up that point back on Jan 29 on this thread

Quote 54:

It’s not “Global Warming” anymore, now it’s “Climate Change” , that way no matter what the weather does, the Leftist Tryannists (I made up that word) can continue thier attempt to destroy Industry.

1. Four years ago, my wife and I were finally able to take the “inland passage” Alaskan cruise. I remember well the glaciers, the historical maps showing the steady (almost unanimous) glacial recessions decade by decade, since Capt. James Cook (1795′ish) to present.

Logical conclusion: The Earth is in a long term warming trend, at least since the time when these glaciers formed. This warming trend commenced without any help or hindrance from mankind.

This means the warming trend might well continue, without any help or hindrance from mankind. So, if our ultimate goal is to stop “global warming”, we may be frustrated by Mother Nature. If our goal is redefined to “stop human caused global warming”, that’s a little better, except it becomes pretty hard to measure. How much of a temperature rise do we attribute to Nature, and how much of the same rise do we attribute to human activity? That answer can get pretty political.

Less political, and more scientific, is the data on CO2 the past 100 years or so. Earth is teeming with, as Spock would say, “carbon based life forms”. When carbon is increased on the planet’s surface, carbon based life forms increase. (If you have a favorite plant or animal, there’s a good chance it’s a carbon based life form!) There are too many scientific studies to mention here, we can just say it’s what one would expect in the model, and it’s what one has seen in the real world in the last century.
Hey, wait a minute. This would mean that as we bring more crust embedded fossil fuels to the surface, we actually increase life on the planet! Well, yes, that’s what it means… it’s just a scientific fact which we need to acknowledge for honesty’s sake.

Does this mean we can go about our collective lives polluting at will, bulldozing down the Amazon forests, and putting Shamu in a glass tank? Not hardly! We still have to take care of where we live, as best we can.

But this doesn’t mean shouting down anybody who disagrees with the current (and always moving) tide of consensus. Drs. Sally Baliunas and Willie Soon, for instance, are real scientists, with real data, and real arguments suggesting that we move a little carefully with this current craze. In the pursuit of the Truth (always a worthy endeavor), we should at least look at opposing sides of an issue to see if any merit exists, before we lock in our opinion.

U.S. Conservatives Take Aim at NGOs

“On the global political front, international NGOs, which led the fight for the global ban on anti-personnel mines, the Kyoto Protocol to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, and the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC), are pursuing a “liberal internationalist” vision that is very much at odds with that of the Bush administration, according to American University law professor Kenneth Anderson”

“NGOs have created their own rules and regulations and demanded that governments and corporations abide by those rules,” according to AEI and the conference co-sponsor, the rightist Institute of Public Affairs of Australia. “Politicians and corporate leaders are often forced to respond to the NGO media machine, and the resources of taxpayers and shareholders are used in support of ends they did not sanction.”

Ways to show the Rightwing are idiots:

1: Point out the thread they are on is one all about “Conservatives” bribing people to tell lies about their research.

2: Point out that you can’t accuse liberals of limousine liberalism, and then try to put them down as unemployed.

3: Point out that the vast majority of university students and graduates have always traditionally been liberals.

4: Point out that you can’t accuse the American judiciary of being liberal – while at the same time accusing liberals of being unemployed.

5: Point out that the so-called liberal media may well be liberal for a reason – namely the BS the rightwing spews being, in fact, BS.

6: Point out that for all of their tough talk on the war on terrorism, conservatives seem happy, indeed thrilled, to fund the people who fund terrorism via fighting against anybody even suggesting, that going off of oil would be a good idea (40% of the world’s oil comes from the Middle East, along with Hezbollah, Al Qaeada, and any number of terrorist groups.)

7: Point out that for all of their tough talk on the economy, the Republicans have achieved the worst deficits in American history – without including the Iraq war in those deficits.

8: Point out that for all their tough talk on supporting the troops, the Republicans have sent those troops into a warzone, where if the troops lose equipment in combat, they are obliged to pay for that equipment. Further, those troops have been given sub-par equipment in the first place.

9: Point out that for all of their self-righteousness on gays getting married, for all of that vague talk about “American values” conservatives spew, the rightwing will solidly defend its government’s right to torture, invade their privacy, and silence their freedom of speech.

10: Point out that for all of their claims against the liberal hippies of the sixties, those hippies won and then moved on with their very successful lives as doctors, lawyers, bankers, manufacturers etc… The losers apparently have not.

And as a bonus point…

11: Point out that for all of their tough talk on corruption, K Street was a purely Republican bribery scandal.
