It was so ugly, {insert Mother joke here}

It got pretty stupid, consisting mostly of ad hominems.

And we're going to leave it at that. Back to the topic....

I totally agree. Attacking the person’s position is fair game, attacking the person’s character is wrong and childish.

Interesting article on the "hockey Stick" graph. Sure there are problems with it, and no one's ever said there weren't, but the NSA panel agrees the basic idea still holds.

Funny, though, that the anti-global warming crowd fixates on little bits, never realizing that there's no way dumping huge amounts of crap into the atmosphere can be a good thing.

the anti-global warming crowd

Who are these folks? They deny that the climate is warming? That's pretty much head in the sand stuff isn't it?

It's one thing to debate the global warming scenario and mankind's contribution to it, it's totally another to deny that warming exists. I'd like to meet some of those folks.

I don't want to get political, here, but the vast majority of their reps in DC sit to the right of the center aisle.

To be fair, they don't so much say "There's no global warming" as nit pick the science as a way of stalling the debate. So yes, head in the sand stuff.

Well, I think you did get political with the anti-global warming comment.

What you basically meant was that politicians bend facts and lie for political ends. Sorry, that takes place on BOTH sides of the aisle in Washington.

Next time it's a lock.

“The whole (global warming) thing is created to destroy America's free enterprise system and our economic stability” - Rev. Jerry Falwell

Maybe you'll get to meet him one day. BTW I’m citing him as a man of God, not a political figure.

I have no desire to meet ANY politicians, conservative or liberal or independent, nor do I want them deciding what to do about global warming issues. These are folks whose heads are in other people's pockets, not in the sand.

Persistent political flame bait.

LOCKED.
