If greenhouse gas is causing global warming then releasing more of it would certainly save on energy to keep our homes warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your mouse and put that little funny arrow over the link. When you have accomplished that, click on the left side of your mouse. That should get you to your precious AP article. Now you won't be so free to criticize the source rather than the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were really clever, you might have included a lmgtfy link. If you were really clever. Personally, I'm not opposed to regulations involving greenhouse emissions. I'm sure you'll find plenty of support for your view in the coming posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

....lybob Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I guess we will just have to agree on this point. Makes a lot of sense. At this point it's stupid to spend any money trying to reduce CO2 that bird has flown, the tipping points are tipped- start spending money on dikes and desalination plants.

You can spend all the money you want on dikes but it probably isn't going to get you anywhere. Haven't you heard that "don't ask, don't tell" is not in place yet?

DC Tom Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Was there something wrong with the article? Let's see...it starts out by establishing moral outrage using a topic completely irrelevent to the article's topic. Then it misrepresents the CRU memos in loaded terms. Then it environmental policy - twice - in loaded terms. And that's in the first paragraph. Taking out all the bull ****, you can reduce it to: The Republican House that does not look kindly on climate change regulation. The Obama Administration is directing the EPA to regulate greenhouse gasses. The first paragraph contains only TWO factual, relevant items, and states them in a completely slanted fashion. So yeah, I'd say there's something wrong with the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the same thing from both. I can filter out if there is any bs in an article and take the facts and leave the rest behind. You, OTOH don't like the facts so you criticize the messemger.

DC Tom Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Were the two linked articles similar in fact? Yes, but not in tone. That's actually important to people who don't need to be told how they're supposed to feel about a topic. I mean, I, for one, can read the facts and decide on my own whether or not I should be outraged about something. But if you need to be told that You Should Be Upset About This, Because The <<insert boogemen here>> Are Poopy-Heads, then by all means continue on with your little self-validating retarded web sources. 'Cause I'm always up for a good laugh, and now that conner's not providing that bull ****... Edit: and in fact, I miswrote when I said "Yes" above. I should have written "no".
