I thought he was just boring and robotic. However, he was the inventor of the internet so it might not be wise to turn him completely off."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else. First, I read the beginning, and then I read the ending, and then I start in the middle and read toward whatever end I like best." - Gracie AllenComment

What?? Like saying Gore says the world will end in 10 years? I just went on the website of "An Inconvenient Truth" and there's nothing that can even be twisted or misunderstood to make that statement. Your statement is just a flat lie.Originally posted by Ned
...The problem I see is that many here simply do not see that a lot of GW activists are simply lying about the issue in one way or another.
Or like saying Gore said he invented the Internet? (BTW: What he really said was he voted for the first federal funding of the internet.)

No offense, but you leftist commie bastards has a tendency to do exactly the same
I would just love it if it was possible to discuss the evidence and not who financed the discovery - somehow, I think it would give this planet a better chance.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.

Nothing and everything. Consensus means that your meal ticket is paid on time.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

DD - if a scientist funded by people for toxic sludge tells me that toxic sludge is good for me, I'll be skeptical. If a scientist for the Sierra Club tells me that the spotted owl is the linchpin of the food chain, I will likewise be skeptical.
The source is important. The science is more important. I am, as you may have noticed, a layman, not a scientist. Therefore, I cannot review the science behind competing claims... and, AFAIK, neither can anyone else who has posted in this thread.
Laugh some more, BlackCat. Or, if you are a climateologist, perhaps you can take this discussion to the next level and discuss the science?

Arrian: Would you have been among the ones to support the consensus on the theory of spontaneous generation against the work of Friedrich Henle and others? I'm not just trying to be a jackass here. I'm just curious when it became gnerally accepted that consensus = science in the mind of the general public. It clearly doesn't.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

You are siding with the evolution is just a "theory" crowd, If almost all experts agree on a subject, it means something. Very rarely they are wrong.Originally posted by DinoDoc
