Reaps, Indeed (are you referring to this one and the one on the exposé of what goes on in the mosques?).

That’d be the one. But actually, what I meant by namecalling, was the amount of flak they were taking for some of their (I believe it was C4) reporting on the Israel-Hezbollah conflict; In fact I believe it was here on hotair that they linked to some of the ‘rah rah hezbollah’ action going on there. But yet, they seem to be one of the few outlets that screen programs like the mosque reporting and this global warming program

not really

A lot of people jumped on the GW bandwagon becasue it wasn’t “mainstream”. These people wanted to be on the edge and to fight the power. Now that the GW myth is mainstream shouldn’t these people be jumping off?

In due time. But right now that crowd is too busy jumping on the “I’m going to vote for a black guy!” bandwagon. DISCLAIMER: There’s nothing wrong with voting for a black guy. The problem is that those who are voting for Barry O are doing so ONLY because he’s black…. Oh, I forgot, because he brings “hope!” (How many times have I seen that on YouTube comments)… Hope for what? Because he’s a nobody if not for the fact that he’s black? He’d just be white Hawaiian Barry if not for the fact he’s black.

Sorry for the threadjack, but seriously, that’s the popular bandwagon that everyone is preoccupied with right now. They feel good about themselves by saying they’re going to vote for a black guy, when deep down his skin color is all they are really voting for (Similarly Hillary will get a lot of “I voted for a woman” votes, but on college campuses you’re really cool if you vote for a black guy… arguably cooler than if you vote for Nader)

LOL. Good one. That’s for sure.

Right now, Europe’s gas tax reduces their consumption, artificaially lowering Global prices, basically subsidizing (in part) our gas prices.

If we raise our gas taxes too, then both U.S. and Europe can subsidize gas prices for China. Which is really what our goal ought to be.

Why? I have no idea.

They will as soon as they figure out which shiny new bandwagon the cool kids are jumping onto. In the meantime, they’re just going to stretch this one out a little while longer by changing the name from Global Warming to “Climate Change” and hoping that we won’t notice.

And now we’ve had 2 ‘interesting’ programs from them..

Once we irrefutably demonstrate how stoooopid the Church of Global Warming is, the libs will just shrug and move on to the next stupidity as if nothing happened. They never learn.

I personally think it’s been irrefutably demostrated. But they’ll hold on for another decade probably… the next generation will endure “global cooling” again (as they did in the 70s)… Luckily for the “sky is falling” liberal crowd who wants us to be governed by the UN, everyone has short memories, and the media is full of liars.

I have four members of my family who teach elementary school. They’re all getting a link to that doc. Anyone hear about it being released on DVD give us a heads up.

Scientists threatened for ‘climate denial’

Nothing new…

Good analogy.

CO2 lags temperature. Lags! Lags! Lags! How the BLEEP did they get this far when the data doesn’t even come close to supporting their thesis?

Like this:

CO2 Graph:
====++++==—–==++=—–=+++++==
Temperature Graph:
====++++==—–==++=—–=+++++==

Note that the Goracle shows the two graphs over a very long time horizon that makes the 8-century lag minimal, then separates the two graphs vertically rather than superimposing them together, which would show the unmistakable pattern of the temperature peaks and valleys before the corresponding points on the CO2 graph.

CO2 causes global warming just like people having large muscles causes them to work out at the gym.

This documentary didn’t present anything I didn’t already know but at least it is out there for people to see.

They did “cherry pick” the data but not as badly as the nutcases on the other side. They also got it right that the sun is the main ingredient. As far as computer models are concerned, anybody who believes the outputs of something as complex as global weather is dreaming.

As far as “man made” global warming is concerned I know “junk science” when I see it.

Let’s take back the initiative. From now on, we should only build cars that run on a fuel that we can produce ourselves in the West.

As explained at 12:03 PM, we CAN produce oil ourselves.

These “leech cultures” benefit from our innovation and give us nothing but trouble in return.

Let’s take back the initiative. From now on, we should only build cars that run on a fuel that we can produce ourselves in the West. A temperate climate fuel like rape seed oil.

The effect will be fantastic. Renewable energy shuts up the tree huggers. Farmers have something to farm. The oil industry collapses, putting those rogue regimes reliant on favors from us, if they wish to get around.
