How do you feel about the supposed link between smoking and lung cancer?

Why? IF global warming is true like these people claim, there is nothing that can be done to reverse it. We would be LONG past the point of no return.

There is nothing to worry about. The world goes through heating and cooling cycles all the time.

The winter of 1934 was just as mild as this year. If the world is warming, why did Denver get hit with 4' of snow in one day, Texas/Oklahoma is being covered in ice right now, and lower California is in the 30's right now. While the ice is melting in the north, Antarctica's ice is growing faster than ever. Explain that.

So, if your fat . . . why not have a few more Big Macs?

Because changes in social and political policy to try to stop it are going to have an economic impact on large corporations.

the only question is whether we can do anything about it quickly enough to avoid real catastrophy.

And who determines what a "real" scientist is? It is common sense when you see 2 sides to an argument (any argument) and one side is showing evidence of their claim (the non-Gores), while the other side doesn't, but rather tries to censor those in opposition. Doesn't take a genius.....

And the most telling fact is the warming alarmists who conveniently leave out temperature data from various periods in time because that data does not advance their theory (see little ice age). Plus in the 70's, all the news mags were talking of a nuclear winter and the coming ice age. Funny how people lose memory so fast.

Lets get even simpler: if mankind wanted to raise the temp a few degrees over the next few years, what we do to accomplish that? Answer: we don't know how to do it. So if we can't create it, we can't stop it. All those nuke tests over the years (US had >1000) didn't do anything. And if you do a little research, you will find that a single volcano spews more than all of mankind can.

Anybody that has any education in earth sciences laughs at the Gore-bots.

And lets say global warming is occurring. Guess what? When we go into ice ages, EVERYTHING dies. It is one big frozen desert. The warm periods are the times the earth flourishes. So that is one more point lost on the alarmists: does their prediction even euate to disaster? Not only can they not predict what is happening, they don't even understand the consequences of their prediction.

As one other poster stated, its all about the money.

If you have terminal cancer, a few more cigs won't hurt. My buddy's Oncologist said so. He died a little while later anyways.

Don't forget that an economic impact on large corporations will have an even larger impact on the rest of the common folk. IOW, crap rolls downhill.

In this case, how would any one prove another hypothesis repeatedly?

Testing repeatably.

She continued, “We’re seeking good solid candidates that can write at least at the 3rd grade level denoted by multiple misspellings or writing in all lower case”. “The later is particularly appealing to us as it denotes an arrogance usually displayed by aspiring 3rd grade educated 60 year old intellectuals that haven’t quite made the grade”. Recent studies now indicate looking down the nose obscures the shift keys so there’s plenty of blame to go around.

“There’s a critical shortage of scientists nowadays, so we just lowered the bar a tick to keep the numbers up” grinned Ms. Clinton. “We foresaw this crises by pre-printing 8.5 million official Scientific diplomas of various fields of study. Any underprivileged person is an instant winner in the field of their choice”.

At last report she was handing out the diplomas at the entrance to voting booths. Any person signing and agreeing to basic Democratic principles received one.

Dr. Shiniqua Washington, PhD Fluid Physics, was a recent recipient of a new voting-booth diploma. She appeared resoundingly proud of her new acquisition when she was overheard asking “hey mudaafuka, you wants fries with dat?

Oh man, that's terrible!
Nice shot.
