All I know is that it’s not beheading Christians and throwing homosexuals off the roof tops yet. Therefore, not our greatest national security risk like Obola claims.
There used to be a party in the U.S. known as the No Nothing Party. They’ve been replaced by the Republicans of the 21st Century. They should just be honest and say that the reason they deny irrefutable evidence, established by literally thousands of scientists worldwide, is that it is contrary to the “beliefs” of their core constituency, that is, big oil, big gas and the Koch brothers.It is truly a sad day when our elected “representatives” are so shamelessly in the pockets of their pay masters.
The contemporary GOP is the new Know Nothing party. They deny almost the entirety of science, from basic evolutionary biology to cosmology to geology to embryology (the last decried as “lies straight from the pit of h*ll”), and I could go on.
Dave, I think we can agree that it is not the most serious National Security Risk this country faces as he told the Coast Guard cadets. In the order of the top 100 issues of importance, Climate Change ranks about 99 with me.
Dave, if you are really interested (as opposed to just making a rhetorical statement with no meaning), mankind’s impact on climate has been rigorously quantified. Results are summarized in the latest IPCC report.
You’ll also find very good cost-benefit discussions in same report – the conclusion is that doing nothing will cost far far far more than doing something.
Hey Dave, instead of the President spouting off on Climate Change being the greatest threat to national security, he should have said “Hackers” pose the greatest threat. The hackers got into the IRS, stole 104,000 tax records, filed false returns that would generate $50 million in refunds and the IRS has egg all over their face once again.
Jack, let’s not forget the dufus State Dept blonde who said Terrorists just need an economic boost with jobs and they wouldn’t feel inclined to attack us. I have news for her. They already have jobs. Attack, mutilate and kill infidels wherever they find them.
A good case can be made that climate change underlies much of the unrest in the Middle East. That you find that somehow amusing just tells me that you aren’t paying the slightest bit of attention.
There is a better case that there are a bunch of Muslims in the world that hate us and any other infidel in the world who doesn’t believe as they do. Your head is on the line just like the rest of us. Wake up!
Climate change? It’s a hoax. All based on computer models. The height of arrogance to think that the temp of the Earth today is the perfect temp and must not change, ever. We are a blip on the radar, gone in a second, and the Earth will be here much longer after we’re gone.
Wayne, it’s not all based on computer models. You haven’t the slightest idea of what your are talking about. I doubt you’d recognize a computer model if one jumped out of your computer screen and bit you in the arse. And of course, almost all insurance rates are based on computer models, so I suppose they are a “hoax” too.
Hey wayne, need a good one to go into the holiday on? This is a report on a Gallup poll for 2013 titled State of the American Workplace.
52% of employees have a perpetual case of the Mondays – their present, but not engaged or excited about their jobs.
18% of employees are actively disengaged or as Gallup CEO, Jim Clifton, put it in the report, “roam the halls spreading discontent.
Actively disengaged employees cost companies up to $550 Billion in annually lost productivity.
70% of staff that have little or no concern about the customers, productivity, profitability, waste, safety or mission.
This report, in my opinion is an indictment of our society of low information voters who know nothing, don’t work hard and are looking for something for nothing.
The military has concluded wrong just like the leftists. By the way, how is that military strategy against ISIS working out? Is that just another bump in the road like Benghazi was?
I suppose I’d take your word, based on just sitting on your ass and speculating about things which you don’t understand vs the military which has spent countless hours and much expertise examining climate change if it weren’t for the fact that you are just sitting on your ass and speculating about things you don’t understand.
Whose sitting on their arse pontificating like they know what they are talking about. I would much rather the Military study military strategy on how to defeat our enemies than sit around wondering if it is .01 degree warmer in Panama than it was last year. By the way, the ice breakers in the Great Lakes were unable to get through last winter due to heavy ice. I believe that is two years in a row for that.
Agent, who *is* “sitting on their arse pontificating like they know what they are talking about?” I thought I already answered that question.
Yes, I’d rather the military plan for the future, likely to involve increasing rapid social, political and economic destabilization due to climate change, and increasing threats to the military infrastructure and ability to respond to such situations.
btw, “it was cold here” is not a refutation of global warming. It’s rather like saying “I just ate a sandwich, so there is no such thing as hunger in the world.”
And I have to say that climate change deniers look increasing silly (if that’s possible) as we just come off the hottest year on record, followed by the hottest Jan – March on record followed by the hottest Jan – April on record. Those hoaxers have be mighty busy heating up the planet via their hoaxy ways.
Reality- Have you read much on the United Nations website about Agenda 21? If so, you would know “global warming” is simply a way to redistribute America’s wealth to poor nations. It’s like our current welfare system, only on a global scale. I’m sorry if you are simply what we call a “useful idiot” being manipulated by liberals, socialist, communist across the world. I have learned over the past several years that you can’t fix stupid so I’ll let you be.
Hey Jack, coldest winter the past two years is reality. Polar ice increased. Al Gore said we wouldn’t have any ice on either pole by 2014. How about that for a profound statement?
1. Winter 2014 took place during the hottest year (2014) humans have ever recorded, and
2. Winter 2013 took place during the 4th hottest year humans have ever recorded, and
3. While Antarctic ice caps increased, POLAR ice caps – measured as a whole across the globe – have definitely decreased.
Jack, are you some kind of refugee from the Alex Jones or David Icke shows? What’s your take on chemtrails? What about our shapeshifting reptilian Illuminati overlords? They make about as much sense as your little Agenda 21 conspiracy theory.
So, perhaps Jack can explain the reptilian Illuminati conquest of every major scientific association, every public and every private university, every independent scientific journal, and every relevant scientific faculty position, and every relevant governmental scientific body….
Because that, or something similar, is what you have to believe to believe that climate change is a “hoax.” Indeed, you also have to explain how the reptilian Illuminati hoaxers have succeeded in warming the entire planet.
At this point, the denialist camp is too silly, absurd and preposterous for words. It’s like talking to a five year old.
I imagine if you took all the fossil fuels out of the earth and burned them at once; you’d have a serious CO2 problem; we have to back up and manage (somewhat) from that perspective. China and maybe other countries are a big problem, too.
FFA, I think we might not have had any problems back in the distant past except for the volcanos erupting and meteors hitting the earth which most people believe that caused the ice age and killed off the dinosaurs. By the way, did you feel like we were having Global Warming up in Chicagoland the past 2 years? We had the coldest, longest winter in Texas since I have been living here and that is quite a few years now. How about that Al Gore that said there wouldn’t be any Polar Ice by 2014? Some on this blog believed every word and they have bogus scientists proclaiming their nonsense every day.
FFA, where you home-schooled or something. I seriously hope you realize that there were no dinosaurs around 1,000 years ago. You only off by 66 million years…
Same comment to Agent. The dinosaurs died off about 66 million years ago, due to the impact of a large comet or asteroid. The last ice age began about 2.5 million years ago. So you are only off by 63.5 million years. So I suppose I should trust your judgment re climate and climate change.
Are you a refugee from the old “Gong” Show? They had many goofy people on that show until it was cancelled. Where did I mention how long ago the Dinosaurs were killed off? I don’t think you know when this happened because you weren’t there and scientists who think they know weren’t there either so they pontificate like you do. By the way, we had the coldest winter in a decade last year. The Polar Caps increased as a result.
Agent, are you a refugee from reality? Like, not only divorced reality, but threw all of reality’s stuff into the street, moved to another state, and now deny ever even having known reality?
You said in a previous comment that the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs also caused the last ice age. But those two events are separated by about 63 million years.
And, are you also a refugee from the Ken “Ya don’t know! Ya warnt thar!” Ham camp for crazy fundies? How do you know the polar ice caps increased? WHERE YOU THERE? How do cops solve a murder based on evidence from the crime scene, if they weren’t there? That is about the lamest thing I’ve ever heard or seen written. Do you really not understand how scientists date these things? Are you that scientifically illiterate? Are you one of those crazy people that believe the earth is only 6,000 years old?
Come on Agent, those aren’t genuine statements and you’re misleading people. You already know:
1. Winter 2014 took place during the hottest year (2014) humans have ever recorded, and
2. Winter 2013 took place during the 4th hottest year humans have ever recorded, and
3. While Antarctic ice caps increased, POLAR ice caps – measured as a whole across the globe – have definitely decreased.

Hey Reality, you and Rosenblatt are two peas in a pod and both believed all this nonsense on Global Warming. Failed science, failed theories and are in complete denial. There have been no measurable changes in climate since 1979. Taking temperatures in downtown Miami is a little different than out in the country. Polar ice caps have increased, the polar bear population has increased and you still believe Al Gore. That tells me everything I need to know.

Too bad this was not a concern 1000 or so years ago. We may have been able to save the dinosaurs…
