Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? --Abraham, Romeo & Juliet

I did, but you obviously missed it. There are many, many factors aside from the ones you list that affect global temperatures. We don't even know what causes ice ages. They're a global temperature variation I'm not willing to blame Ford Motor Company for. The sun is a variable star, we just...

So get back to us when they identify and quantify the other factors. That's science.

Already addressed the science. It amounts to saying atmospheric carbon is the only factor in global temperatures. Which is demonstrably ridiculous. But when all you got is a hammer, every problem needs a nail.

Yeah, once you strip off the plastic (or hemp) and get down to the model, the Church of Mother Nature ain't no different from the Church of the Beardy Old Guy In a Nightshirt Sitting On a Cloud Smiting Folk. Both have perfect, good, kind, divine being that loves us and kills folk regularly...

Close, but I find that most lefty shriekers are basically human hating. Carbon's just the latest boogey man. Before that it was pollution, deforestation, what have you. The whole attack on Mother Gaia. Apparently a dam made by beavers to improve their lives is natural, and a dam made by...

Not bad generally, but what on earth do the IPCC head's sexual proclivities and Al Gore's business dealings have to do with global warming?

Transgender in the military: A Pentagon in transition weighs its policy By Juliet Eilperin April 9 at 8:03 PM Over the past decade, Sgt. Shane Ortega has served three combat tours: Two in Iraq, one in Afghanistan. Two as a Marine and one in the Army. Two as a woman and one as a man. Ortega...

Radley Balko is an author and blogger who focuses on the criminal justice system and reports on all its aspects. He is smart, honest, capable, and a tireless researcher. He came up with the following list of questions for Presidential candidates. I think it's sheer genius. I also think there...

OK, you're right. They are emotionally driven. They leap to the conclusion that global warming is BS, then look for facts or arguments to back up that emotional conclusion. But of course the same is true of most global warming believers. They are of the "humans are bad, mmm-kay?" mindset...

Of course, there you run into the unspoken (and sometimes spoken) rule of experimentation: "All else being equal." Yes, you have an argument. And you have some evidence. But certainty? I think not. Heck, we don't even know what causes ice ages. But I'll bet the rent it has an effect on...

To be fair, scientific method requires falsifiable hypotheses and repeatable experiments. Do the warmists have either?

Here's mine: SONGS Men: Country Song: You Were Always On My Mind, Willie. Folk Song: Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen (as performed by k.d. lang) Rock Song: Touch Me, the Doors (close second: Layla, Eric Clapton/Derek and the Dominos) Rap Song: Body Count, Ice-T "Crooner" Song: Cold...

Well, bye.

So do you. And yet you're still here. Is being a scold that rewarding to you?

Well, to be fair, your moment probably won't surface. Fair few of 'em seem to be intended to whine about how hard-done-by you are.

I like Canadians. They're like Americans, only more Canadian. Are you suggesting that I shouldn't be interested in Canadian issues, or that watching the poo-flinging snow-apes of the Great White North is somehow less interesting or worthy than the poo-flinging of their more southerly cousins?

As I've said before, since they raised the ticket prices down to the zoo, this is the best place to watch apes fling poo at each other. You've said that repeatedly. It led to no change whatsoever. Are you familiar with the definition of "insanity" attributed to Einstein? I've had some pretty...

Would it help if I started a "Piss an Moan About the Mods" thread? Bet I could even get them to pin it.

Ah, so going with the classic "It's wrong but I do it less, so I'm morally superior" argument? How unoriginal. Almost as hackneyed as "I only do it when they do it," which you implied with your "responded" comment. Seriously, that's the best you've got? Far be it from me to question your...
