Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize...

[Glasstream15]

Good grief, the childish silliness never ends. Let me guess, you are a young teenager, right? I have had lots of intense disagreements with others on this site but, in all cases, their points were made in a rational and intelligent way. You seem to be locked into this endless loop of ridiculous name calling and the making of wild unsubstantiated claims. Very, very sad.

Acually, I'm a retired Design Engineer from Boeing Military Aircraft Co. And there are just way to many of us that are very tired of the junk science put forth by the Enviro-Nazis of this world. These are the exact same people that were trying to scare us all 30 years ago with the impending "Ice Age". And they were right then. In fact, doubly right, because now there are 2, count 'em, 2 "Ice Age" movies. Kinda cute too. Global Warming is almost certainly real. My, and your, contribution to it???? Very much in doubt.

Yes, the scientists that argue against almost all work for private enterprise. Because, if you work in academia or the governmaent and don't toe the line you are gone in a heart beat.

So when REAL science, not whatever is the popular cause today, tells me that I need to change, I'll be first in line. Until then, all I can do is ridicule people like al bore and the entire hollywierd establishment.

There are many differences between what's going on now and the ice age scare from 30 years ago. Back then, the scientists were much less certain about what was happening and it was the media that made a big deal about the alarmist claims of a few fringe scientists. Now we have a majority of scientists in every industrialized nation, all in agreement that human activity is contributing to climate change. If you can't see the difference, you're not looking.

So when REAL science, not whatever is the popular cause today, tells me that I need to change, I'll be first in line.

How are you going to identify this "REAL science" when it's presented to you?

Wow! I was giving you the benefit of the doubt when I guessed you were a teenager. For someone of your background and age, you should have a much better grasp of the English language. You should know how to present a coherent argument without the silly nonsensical phrases and words. Even if you were presenting any sort of rational argument, it would be lost under the clutter of your child-like writing style.

I guess you have no idea whatsoever that global warming does lead to an ice age. "What!" you exclaim. Try learning something about how global warming affects the ocean currents and how that, in turn, leads to an ice age in the midst of global highs. Learning is fundamental.

Yes, as stated so many times before by everyone, there have been ups and downs in greenhouse gasses and global temperatures long before the industrial revolution. What makes this different is that the levels of greenhouse gasses this time around is magnitudes higher than anything in the past. That is data you can look up. We aren't the cause of global warming, we are the ones throwing it out of control.

If you get your science from Al Gore movies, right-wing talk radio, and super-ultra-right wing mailings (yes, I got that self-published junk in my mailbox at college) then you do not have the background you need to form a coherent opinion.

Those working in academia must "toe the line"? What academic institution do you work for? Please, expose this horrible situation to the public! Call your congressman! Call newspapers and television news. Present the facts you have to back this statement up!

So, what is "real" science? Is that a science that lets you do whatever you like? Is that science that is harshly painted by politics? Let's face it, in your "hollyweird", "al bore", "enviro-nazi" world, nothing really works, does it?

Uh oh, it just occurred to me. Is it possible we have a rare-on-this-site troll? Stir up an argument just for the sake of mixing things up... That would explain a lot...
