The 2010 Climate B.S.* of the Year Award
AND THE WINNER OF THE 2010 CLIMATE B.S.* OF THE YEAR AWARD
First Place goes to the following set of B.S.: “There has been no warming since 1998” [or 2000, or…], “the earth is cooling,” “global warming is natural,” and “humans are too insignificant to affect the climate.” Such statements are all nonsense and important for the general public to understand properly.
The reality is that the Earth’s climate is changing significantly, changing fast, and changing due to human factors. The reality of climatic change can no longer be disputed on scientific grounds – the U.S. National Academy of Sciences calls the human-induced warming of the Earth a “settled fact.” The evidence for a “warming” planet includes not just rising temperatures, but also rising sea levels, melting Arctic sea ice, disappearing glaciers, increasing intense rainfalls, and many other changes that matter to society and the environment. The recent and ongoing warming of the Earth is unprecedented in magnitude, speed, and cause.
This winning set of B.S. appears almost daily in the conservative blogosphere, like here and here and here, consistently in the statements of climate change deniers, and far too often in real media outlets. Actual science and observations from around globe have long shown the opposite (for example, here and here are nice rebuttals with real science). The planet continues to warm rapidly largely due to human activities, and average global temperatures continue to rise. The most recent decade has been the warmest decade on record and 2010 will likely go down as either the warmest or second warmest year in recorded history.

................asshole............thinks the "scientists" are out to save the world. I thought shit like that.........about 35 years ago. Dumbasses are so far beyond gone its not real.........life comes down to two choices: the suck or the suckier. The "Haves" are not going anywhere. Like any reasonable person alive, I choose "the suck. The crusader assholes choose the "suckier" and they get dicked over but dont mind dicking everybody else around them. So take your pick.........clean energy, which is a fraud......or dirty energy which when all is said and done sets you back waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less than the fcukkupedness that comes with green energy technology and all its ridiculous costs.
No more co2 makes no more problem. We can then shoot the co2 into the sun.
End of story.
Kinda easy for folks like you to conveniently ignore the sobering realities in life. I guess though that that is what this forum is all about for many: a chance to lurk and make reality what you want it to be.........insulated from having to confront the real dynamics of life that I illustrated in stunning detail in my post above.
