Are you a fiscal conservative too?

Well, I don't think houses and towns that are destroyed by Hurricanes should be re-built with taxpayers' monies.

How's that for being a fiscal conservative?

That is so weak.

I haven't manipulated anybody. Even if there is only a 5% chance that AGW is for real, we should be taking action.

Not at all. Just that it seems that everybody thinks AGW is for real except for those folks from Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. :icon_wink:

Bob Barr also says that AGW is for real. If global warming is indeed a hoax, why are our political parties saying that something needs to be done about it?

GOP platform now to include global warming.

So much for logic.:D

I know that its darn cheap but I wasn't interested in coming up with anything more original or novel.

Ranerizer, I know about your position about trusting CO2 readings from ice. However, even assuming Co2 diffusion, the rate of change in the ice sample would provide an accurate reading of how fast...

From about 1500 BC to about 1900 AD the global sea level was relatively stable. Since 1950 the global sea level has been increasing. While I agree that the current rate of change is small and...

Calling it DogtorEvil would be more appropriate given your maturation.

Bill Pup, you may think so but I would conclude that certain subjective factors about this topic are influencing your analysis.
