    "It's cold today therefore global warming is a myth" is such an intellectually lazy argument.

    Having done some projects that involve this subject, I find these cyclical threads very funny. It is a constant reminder to me, and many others, that some people will simply refuse to acknowledge something regardless of facts. It happens so much so that such people will just simply look out their window and declare that it is their scientific study.

    It was utterly foolish when Pat Robertson saw a heat wave and said, "Global Warming is real!" It is just as stupid when someone sits in a cold front and declares, "Global Warming is fake!"

    Old_tony started this thread to be intentionally obtuse as well as to poke a stick. There is no scientific theory behind his first post. There was no study to back up the statement. Instead of being given actual information, we are given troll-like behavior.

    I love when old_tony, in his potato-chip-and-pizza-greased t-shirt, challenges the top scientists in the world. Thousands of them.

    They're not scientists, they're "wholly owned subsidiaries of political agendas."

    Keep this in mind when responding to OT:

    1) He doesn't believe in global warming.
    2) He doesn't believe in evolution.
    3) He thinks Bill Ayers ghost wrote Obama's biography.

    This is the type of person you're dealing with. Laugh and move on.

    Fixed. Now with 333% more guidelines.

    Because the previous commander-in-chief never used "wholly owned subsidiaries of political agendas" to justify what he did.

    Duly noted.

    Seriously? Is that why I can only eat canned tuna twice a week because of the mercury content? Is that why when all the wildlife was dying and then they banned DDT and it started coming back that we were "taking care of our world just fine"? Is that why there is arsenic in the water? Is that why there is salmonella in the peanut butter and deadly chemicals in the dog and cat food? Yeah, all these pesky regulations on the noble CORPORATIONS! Just think how many more people and animals could be dead if we just got rid of them ALL!!!!

    If I or the rest of the nation could trust and depend on the good will of massive corporations to be good stewards of the environment WITHOUT government regulations, it might be different. But what has ANY corporation done to warrant that trust?

    No shot. And some of you need that lesson drilled into your heads, just HOW many times?

    We don't.
