Isn't Exxon-Mobile a multi billion dollar industry? ExxonMobil has manufactured uncertainty about the human causes of global warming just as tobacco companies denied their product caused lung cancer," said Alden Meyer, the Union of Concerned Scientists' Director of Strategy & Policy. "A modest but effective investment has allowed the oil giant to fuel doubt about global warming to delay government action just as Big Tobacco did for over 40 years."

How many of you applauding Alaska Darin for his "interesting post" actually took the time to read these articles (and not just the abstracts or the excepts he posted in the links?). Why didn't anyone ask why he was presenting articles published nearly a decade ago as new research?

I actually briefly checked out 2 of your global warming threads, which are really just you linking to other articles some of which were published in 1999 and 2000. I doubt you even read them. Some were just links to just the abstract! How can you draw a conclusion from a scientific study by only reading the abstract! That proves that you're both stupid AND lazy. In fact I'd bet you got those links from some conservative blog or forum. The fact is that you choose to place more credence in these articles than the vast amount of published peer reviewed material that affirms global warming is not because of the quality of the science, but rather because it matches your politics.

I knew you couldn't articulate why you're a global warming skeptic!

I'm not even sure what that last sentence means. I'm still waiting for a substantive response which illustrates why you believe the global warming skeptics over those who believe in global warming.

Why does disagreeing with you automatically make someone a liberal?

He started it.

I'm not asking you a trick question, I'm actually curious to know exactly why I should be skeptical of global warming. I'm not an idealogue, if you make a good argument and point me to some good information I can be swayed to your side.

There was some controversy, I seem to remember, about its dialogue. I could be mistaken.

Translation- I prefer Penn & Teller's opinion on Global Warming over that of NASA, The Nation Research Council, The EPA, The World Meteorological Organization, The American Meteorogical Society etc because it annoys liberals and environmentalists.

I would like links to the specific threads that he feels best expresses why he's a global warming skeptic.

That was an ABC miniseries from a few years ago. I never saw it.

Provide with with some links then please.

I see you couldn't answer my question, I wonder why? PS, I'm not a liberal.

I wonder how Rob Johnson's career could have gone differently had we covered that kick.

What about a few years ago when we had a good chance of beating NE and Fletcher recovered a fumble but before getting into the endzone fumbled the ball out of the endzone resulting in a touchback. There was also a 4th and short where Henry fell down in the backfield. How about the Sage Rosenfels game?

Doesn't it feel like McGahee has been gone for 10 years already, I almost forgot about him.

So suing the maker of defective pool drains whose negligence resulted in the disembowment of a little girl makes Edwards am "ambulance chasing lawyer"?

What makes the global warming debunkings studies so much more reliable to you than the studies that affirm global warming?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize "a paper" was published that said global warming was bull sh--.

Source please. According to the EPA the 8 warmest years on record all occurred since 1998 with 2005 being the warmest ever. http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/basicinfo.html

I agree that we can't do much to stop global warming but to deny it is just plain stupid.
