Logicallunatic replied to Bill's discussion 'Climate scientists plan campaign against global-warming skeptics'"All you have then is name-calling and 'arguments' but no real evidence. The temperature increase corresponds perfectly with the increase in CO2 being pumped out by humans. Do you think all that CO2 has magically disappeared?…"
Arcus replied to Bill's discussion 'Climate scientists plan campaign against global-warming skeptics'"Your profile says France, which is hardly a socialist country. Indeed, the president and government is currently Conservative. There is a substantial difference between socialist and social democratic.

Scott Howard replied to Bill's discussion 'Climate scientists plan campaign against global-warming skeptics'"Since I'm not a scientist, I don't know one way or the other. There SEEMS to be a consensus that Global Warming is real, so I'll have yo go with it as I don't know enough to know otherwise. So, I have CFLs, I recycle, I walk when…"
Arcus replied to Bill's discussion 'Climate scientists plan campaign against global-warming skeptics'"You utterly fail to provide any evidence of an environmentalism-socialism link, except your contempt for both. You have no clue of what socialism is, which makes any debate futile.

Unseen replied to Bill's discussion 'Climate scientists plan campaign against global-warming skeptics'"Anyway, what exactly would be so bad if we went greener, even if (in an absurd world) the global warming wasn't anthropological?
Fighting global warming will divert, eventually, trillions of dollars from other crucial problems such as curing…"
Stephen Walski replied to Bill's discussion 'Climate scientists plan campaign against global-warming skeptics'"Makes it hard to reach people when the exact same scientific observations they are using to argue that global warming is happening was used int he 70s to argue we were coming to a new ice age.

Logicallunatic replied to Bill's discussion 'Climate scientists plan campaign against global-warming skeptics'"The climate doesn't exist, there is no evidence to support it, it's a hoax perpetrating by godless scientists, because Jesus makes rain go up and down and the tide in and out, never a miscommunication. See there! proof climate change is…"

- hey Bill, wanted to let you know i edited your thread on perverse sexual fantasies as it was what is referred to as a teaser post and is prohibited by TA's guidelines. a teaser post, also called a "blind link", is any post that drops a link and says, either actually or essentially, "what do you think about this?"
the easy way around this is to either sum up in your own words the content at the link or to copy and paste the whole link using the link itself for source attribution.
thanks very much for understanding. if you have any questions for me or the other moderators feel free to contact us. check out the guidelines here.
