Default Re: Scientists write an open letter about the politicization of science

I'm an optimist. In the end Global Warming will be dealt with and it won't be by way of one world government, impossible economic restrictions or even ol' Harry being forced to use only one square per squat. Money will be spent developing new technologies and livable restrictions will be implemented.

The only real annoying part in all this is first having to drag the deniers along and second, which is my absolute firm conviction that in 20 years, when its clear that this was a threat, the deniers will be denying ever having fought the solution in the first place. In fact I'd be willing to bet that the lot of them will find some sleazy way to take credit for it. Like when the shrub took credit for legislation that passed over his veto when he was governor of Texas.

So we will have a Benin dictatorship will impose "livable restrictions"? how special, will people in the third world be "restricted" to abject poverty?


Who get to determine the "restrictions"? You....Algore.....

What restrictions to you want to be subject to?

So what if your conviction is wrong? Will you feel like a fool?

Do you have any scientific background in you education for your conviction or are you just a sheeple who believes what you are fed by the government?

I have a Bachelor of Science degree, it included one 100 level and one 200 level Meteorology course. Do you have any spelling or sentence structure background in your education or were you struck violently on the head?

I am dyslexic my spelling, grammar and typing suck.


BTW how do the atmospheric computer models account for ice ages? I presume if they can predict how much the planet will warm from a trace gas they can also explain the mechanisms that have caused 50c swings in temps as seen in the Greenland ice cores.

What conditions led to ice ages for ~90% of the last million years on this planet. I anxiously await you informed reply.

Nice cop out. I presume Dyslexia precludes you from having any real understanding of the old saying that addresses people living glass houses? It would seem to me that anyone incapable of putting 5 words together in some kind of coherent order would not go around questioning another person's education or intelligence. Or does calling yourself a Dyslexic excuse you for being rude?

I have worked as an electrical engineer thanks for asking.


Speaking of cop outs again where are the computer models that account for ice ages, after all you are saying that the current models can successfully model the climate and these models are based on the premise that greenhouse gases drive the climate. Therefore they should be able to model the dominate climatic feature of the past million years the ice ages.

I still await your answer.

I never asked what you did for a living and I never said anything about any model. I guess the Dyslexia excuse covers for a lack of even minimal reading comprehension.

You are very strong in your opinions about the subject of MMGW, you have some education in meteorology, so surely you must be familiar with the efficacy of the models. If the models are correct about the forcing (positive feedbacks ) from Greenhouse and since the sun apparently isn't the driver to climate, then please let us know how the models explain the ice ages how they start and how they ended.

Come on show all the 'deniers' how uninformed they are. I will ever try to learn about grammar from your concise writing and impeccable spelling.
