Wait, only man can make the climate change - there's consensus!

 

This reverse global warming climate change nonsense like the so-called 'little ice age' never happened. It's not like climate is a very complex cyclical system of atmospheric interactions that are affected by any number of extraterrestrial stimuli as well as internal stimuli.

Actual NYT headline.

 

Climate Change Denialists Say Polar Bears Are Fine. Scientists Are Pushing Back.

Sure, the honest headline on that story would have been "Scientists Disagree About Prospects For Polar Bears", but this is the New York Times. If you expect balanced coverage from the NYT ... well you might check the classifieds to see if the Brooklyn Bridge is still for sale.

The issues raised in the Times article were discussed in the Watts Up With That blog yesterday: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/04/11/pushing-back-against-the-stupidest-scientific-paper-ever-published/ -- "Stupidest Scientific Paper Ever Published" should not be treated as a challenge to be surpassed.

So having read all that, to summarize: a bunch of morons published "peer reviewed research" that is nothing more than "Waaaah!  Someone disagrees with us!"  And that someone who disagrees with them refuted their "stupidest scientific paper ever published" (which it pretty much is), with an unpublished, unreviewed paper of her own (which might be the stupidest rebuttal ever published).  And the NYT decided to write a piece with a core thesis of "My retard's better than your retard."

 

When did the real world turn in to PPP?

Hmmm....assigning media outlets to PPP posters, now there’s an idea.

 

Gatortard is clearly HuffPo, not sure who’s NYT.

Did you just misspell "monkeys," or are you really referring to Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork, Davy Jones, etc.

 

(Side note: which is sadder, knowing all four Monkees, or only three of them?)

Tork had a Greenwich Village folk act going and was very capable on banjo and guitar and keyboards, a compatriot and friend of Stephen Stills at the time

 

just because Mike earnestly stared at all his chord changes during during the videos didn’t mean he was good

 

So you learned something there, twink.

 

you don’t have to thank me.....

Man, when you step in it you don't %$#@ around.

 

The only established musician of the bunch when the "band" was formed was Nesmith. Tork could play, but the only music he actually played on was that which was written and produced by Nesmith.

 

I saw them live in 1968. Tork was no longer with the band. Nesmith was the only one of the remaining three that actually played his instrument.

 

He nailed "Pleasant Valley Sunday" front to back.
