    Everyone knows that climate change is a myth perpetuated by democratic, liberal, socialist, progressive, leftist, feminist, millenial, undocumented-immigrant-supporting, muslim-tolerating, affirmative-action loving, moniker stealing, non-texas residents. Give it up, already!

        Tree huggers? Agent, if I am not mistaken, it sounds as though you are trying to insult those who care about the environment. Hypocrisy much?

        Awe, feelings hurt Agent?!? Just chug down a few Big Mac’s, slap your CSR on the ass, go to Bob (AKA Boob)for comfort and validation and all will be better.

    Two new literary genres will need to be created:
    FACTION (closely related to fiction, is not really fact-based, a/k/a Science-Faction, or SCI-FA) and
    NON-FACTION(closely related to non-fiction, is fact-based)

    Faction writers will cite opinions and theories as “facts”, when in fact they are not. This is to obfuscate the fact that what they really want to do is divide and control, then regulate and tax, thereby creating factions, and centralizing power among a select few. Non-faction writers will point out that there is a difference between a fact and an opinion, but to no avail…

    Non-faction writers will use facts in an attempt to question whether other causes might be responsible for climate changes. Which then logically leads to questioning the controls/regulations/taxes being promoted by the Faction writers as being necessary. Faction writers will then scold them, belittle them, call them “right wing extremists”, “science deniers”, etc. for even THEORIZING that (sometimes even dramatic)climate changes could occur (indeed, HAVE occurred!)without human involvement.

    All of this would be laughable, were it not for the fact that there are presently many dangers all around us which DO threaten us on a DAILY basis, and which are either ignored or minimized, in favor of focusing on some perceived theoretical dangers which MIGHT, SOME DAY, DECADES FROM NOW, MAY JUST MAY, pose a threat…or maybe not, if you believe in real science.

    PS: A word to the wise. Do not ever trust anything posted/blogged on the internet by anyone who remains anonymous, including this…
    question authority and QUESTION THE AUTHORITIES. It’s your right, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

      JB – EXCELLENT!!!

      The lefts theories are portrayed as facts, even to the point of calling people of opposing opinions as stupid or ill-informed.

      The right calls theories for what they are, theories. They provide substantive facts to support their position, only to have the left ridicule them.

        integrity, JB’s post has been up several days now with no rebuttal from the left. Apparently, he has left them speechless and reply less.

          or maybe people have other things to do than read every article and every comment and post a reply. You know, like doing their jobs or spending time with their family over the weekend.

          OR MAYBE AGENT,

          It is because JB’s opinion is pretty funny and he says what he needs to say with some class and thought. It is post like JB’s that actually get read and most will take his thoughts and opinions seriously. Take some lesson’s from him.

        I would suggest you review some of the prior ‘right’ posts, especially from Agent. Some of his favorite phrases for those with opposing opinions: low information voter, libtards, stupid, accuses people of having mental illness, being lazy…I could list several more if needed. For whatever differences several people on this site have, there are only one or two who are very quick to throw out ‘stupid’, ‘low information’, etc. At least be objective and see where the name-calling is coming from.

          Nerd may be a good name for you. Good Moniker! I suggest you read some of the posts of Stan, Confused, Ron, Captain Planet, Celtica, Ins102.

          Also, anyone stealing my “moniker” to post trash in my name to stir up trouble is the lowest form of human life. That is below nasty. They have to look up to see bottom.

            Ouch…your scorching insult (third grade level) sure does hurt, Agent.

            I have read their posts and don’t see near the name calling and labeling that you provide, Agent. The vile ‘Moniker Theft’ wasn’t even mentioned anywhere…are you suggesting that some of the rants and name calling under your name aren’t from you at all? An ‘Agent’ post is pretty easy to identify.

            Nerd, are you sure you are not masquerading under this moniker like your other leftist friends like to do on every article. By the way, why would I post leftist trash to make myself look bad? All you will see from my legitimate posts are Conservative viewpoints and I will call out anyone who is deserving as many of your friends have found out.

        integrity, do you remember several weeks ago when you handed a certain poster with the moniker name starting with R his head on the Global Warming issue? He went right back to his failed theories again after he was debunked thoroughly. He now concedes that the Antarctic Cap has thickened, but says the Arctic Cap has decreased. What a load of nonsense. By the way, there are numerous articles available to show the Arctic Cap has increased as well with Satellite images etc. So much for Gore’s theory that the Caps would be gone and he predicted it by 2014. Oops!

          So you won’t reply to me, but you’ll talk about me negatively in your posts? Stop being so childish – either talk to me or don’t talk about me.

          And for what it’s worth, we already went over this — IM didn’t ‘hand me my head’ with our discussion. I agreed there were some unanswered questions about where exactly the data points were coming from, but I stood firm on my stance: global ice caps across the planet are decreasing and while man may not be the sole reason the climate is warming, we need to look for ways to ensure the future habitability of the planet for our ancestors.

        integrity, perhaps you noticed some political news I saw on the net(Townhall). Kentucky elected their first Republican governor in 4 decades in Matt Bevin who beat the Democratic rising star Jack Conway and beat him handily. They also elected a female black Lieutenant Governor who yes, is a Republican. I don’t know if KYjw will be happy or not.

        The article went on to say that under Obama, Democrats have lost 900 seats in legislatures, 12 Governorships, 69 House seats and 13 Senate seats. Somehow, I don’t think those coat tails have been too effective for the loyal minions who continue to trumpet the success of Obamacare and other socialist programs. Ohio rejected legalization of Marijuana which is a step in the right direction.

          How about some context with those numbers? Is 900-12-69-13 similar to losses from previous 8-year presidents?

          Say Bush lost 1,000-30-80-20 in his 2 terms – I would say Obama is doing good in comparison!

          Now if Bush only lost 400-5-15-5 from his 2 terms – I would agree with you that Obama is doing much worse on this topic.

          Can you please provide any context around those numbers by comparing them to similar changes from previous 2-term presidents?

      JB, one of the best posts I have seen on this subject. By the way, over the past weekend, our Energy Dept warned people away from pumpkins saying they are dangerous to the environment and would lead to further Global Warming since they apparently give off methane gas, much like cattle farts. The EPA is in favor of banning outdoor BBQ’ing with deluded reasoning that it will also lead to Global Warming. If they had their way, everyone would be eating cold Tofu and not cooking at all. It sure will be nice when these idiots are shown the door in about 15 months.

    The novel Pinatubo II joins the climate fiction ranks. To publish the day of the swearing in of Canada’s new government.
