Possibly, most readers would miss publications from Forbes copied on Yahoo.
So, this latest data suggests that we might not be f***ing up the planet quite as badly or quickly as most respected scientists have been suggesting for decades? That's great news, but it doesn't mean that we're
not f***ing up the planet. Also, when I read an entire article that repeatedly refers to "alarmist models", I know from what gopher hole of the political spectrum it's coming from - from the same corner as the following bullsh!t -
"WHEREAS, the state of Texas is in the midst of an exceptional drought, with some parts of the state receiving no significant rainfall for almost three months, matching rainfall deficit records dating back to the 1930s ... NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal way of life."
Did the prayers help, Rick? How many years of drought has Texas seen since the turn of the century? (Eight, I believe.) But hey, there's nothing going on, nothing to worry about. This is all just a devilish left wing plan to stick it to big business, isn't it Rick?
"For example, they have seen the headlines in the past year about doctored data related to global warming. They know we have been experiencing a cooling trend, that the complexities of the global atmosphere have often eluded the most sophisticated scientists, and that draconian policies with dire economic effects based on so-called science may not stand the test of time. Quite frankly, when science gets hijacked by the political Left, we should all be concerned ...
And it's all one contrived phony mess that is falling apart under its own weight. Al Gore is a prophet all right, a false prophet of a secular carbon cult, and now even moderate Democrats aren't buying it."
I'll continue to give more credence to scientists like Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University
"There are dozens of credible atmospheric scientists in Texas at institutions like Rice, UT, and Texas A&M, and I can confidently say that none agree with Gov. Perry's views on the science of climate change. This is a particularly unfortunate situation given the hellish drought that Texas is now experiencing, and which climate change is almost certainly making worse."
I have not studied Michelle Bachmann's life, but the general tenor of her pronouncements lead me to believe that she is a representative of what I (and many others) see as the extreme right wing Hun wing of US politics. As such, I find her unfitting to be anywhere a position that allows access to the nuclear option.
