Maybe we can get all the hysterical people to move out to nowhere and leave normal people all alone.  |

| Ahh there's nothing like a good round of pseudo-science and ignoring some inconvenient truths to trump up so much hysteria. Of course only the non-thinking gullible types would buy into this sort of thing. Since these hysterical types have been sufficiently distracted they should try throwing themselves at the ground. They just might get lucky and start flying. |

Sounds exactly like the whole man-made global warming hype to me. Not quite as pervasive, but at least some true scientists are starting to speak up and call foul. |

There's plenty more out there -- are you willing to read and analyze both sides of the story, or just accept what's splashed around the headlines? |

i bet that there are plenty more "articles" like that out there: NEITHER one of them gives any facts nor debunks any facts, they are total propaganda.
will there be climatic Armageddon in 5 years, of course not; will the skeptics have any more proof one way or the other in five years, also no.
and a list of people who believe a certain thing does not make it so, however much you might wish it did. just look at religion, millions and millions of people believe completely contradictory things. i am sure we could compile lists of scientists that are christian, muslim, pagan, Buddhist, agnostic, and atheist, but that doesn't prove anything. |

Re: Scientific fact > hysteria
It's truly amazing that otherwise rational people are afflicted with brain freeze when anyone questions their views on climate change.
Isn't this all about science? Isn't questioning things the very basis of science? Why are people so willing to believe that there is only one possibility, and it's theirs? Sounds more like religious fanaticism than science to me.
Environmentalist bigotry is perfectly acceptable these days, but that still doesn't make it sane. |

You've illustrated my point perfectly, thanks.  |

Sounds more like religious atheist fanaticism than science to me. Environmentalist Darwinian bigotry is perfectly acceptable these days, but that still doesn't make it sane. I mean...as long as you're cooking up lists of people that claim to believe crackpot drivel supported by a couple of websites, we might as well toss IDers into the soup.
I'd love to hear your theories on the constitutionality of Federal income taxes.
And what about chupacabras?

Sorry, but 500 years ago, there was nobody that could even remotely be considered a "scientist" by modern standards. Those who tried were typically threatened with a nice dry stack of kindling until they "remembered" that the sun orbited the Earth and witches floated because they were made of wood.

crazy unscientific wifi tinfoil crowd = the handful of oil "scientists" paid to still have "doubts" that the shit we spew out actually has some kind of effect on the planet
If you want to doubt science, join the tinfoil crowd. |
