Maybe it's wrong. I'm not going to waste my time checking it because I don't give a s%#t. I don't care if the sea level is rising a meter a day. You don't have the right to treat me like a zoo animal regardless of what the emergency happens to be, and if that bothers you then you can explain your point of view through the barrel of my rifle."<br /><br />Bitching about the science infers that if the science <i>was</i> right then there'd be an argument for "global action", which we all know is code for global tyranny. <br /><br />"The science is real. It's a fact!"<br />A) "I don't care.

This statement should be on the front pages of every newspaper in the world; the entire friggin theory of global relies on radiative forcing, without it the theory is complete nonsense. Now, after a quarter-century of scare-mongering, hidden away in the small print of the latest report they tell us that the central plank of the theory is "missing or incorrect" Any further frightening of our children based on a "missing or incorrect" theory should be a criminal offense.<br /><br />Source:http://www.climatechange2013.org/images/report/WG1AR5_Chapter09_FINAL.pdfidbkiwinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-3837697593152277552014-05-10T05:18:24.692-04:002014-05-10T05:18:24.692-04:00Hilarious, beautiful and true.Hilarious, beautiful and true.KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940428991630766942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-71673864254259744422014-05-09T11:21:54.089-04:002014-05-09T11:21:54.089-04:00It's a sort of intellectual dishonesty which s...It's a sort of intellectual dishonesty which should make even the most casual adherent to the truth cringe.<br /><br />Talk about stifling debate.<br /><br />It's ironic then that bullying is about to be criminalized.
