Global Warming

[Gog]

At least the Stooges are funny and good for something.

Now, the Flat Earth/Climate Deniers?.... thats another kettle of fish... They're phunny until they seek public office, then they're good for nothing but flat earth bullshit.

Flat Earth Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Origins of the Flat Earth movement

Main article: Flat Earth

The belief that the Earth was flat was almost universal until about the 4th century BC, when the Ancient Greek scientists and philosophers proposed the idea that the Earth was a sphere, or at least rounded in shape. Aristotle was one of the first thinkers to provide evidence of a spherical Earth in 330 BC By the early Middle Ages, it was widespread knowledge throughout Europe that the Earth was a sphere.

However, throughout history, many continued to support the notion of a flat Earth.

The organization took a hit when satellite images taken from outer space showed the Earth as a sphere rather than flat, but they were not fazed. Shenton remarked: "It's easy to see how a photograph like that could fool the untrained eye."
omfg-rotflmfao... it's Glenn Beck!

The society also took the position that the Apollo Moon landings were a hoax, staged by Hollywood and based on a script by Arthur C. Clarke, a position also held by others not connected to the Flat Earth Society.

Some actual headlines from Flat Earth News during the '70s and early '80s:
* "Sun Is a Light 32 Miles Across"
* "Galileo Was a Liar"
* "Nikita Krushchev Father of NASA" (misspelling in the original)
* "The Earth Is Not a Ball; Gravity Does Not Exist"
* "The Earth Has No Motion"
* "Science Insults Your Intelligence"
* "World IS Flat, and That's That"
* "Australia Not Down Under"
* "Whole World Deceived Except the Very Elect"

A newsletter from the society gives some insight into Johnson's thinking:

Aim: To carefully observe, think freely, rediscover forgotten facts and oppose theoretical dogmatic assumptions. To help establish the United States..."


Sound familiar? Hard to believe they had enough morons to keep a few chapters open well into the 1990s .. lol! Where did they all go after evil communist NASA exposed the roundness of their flat ass umptions? They took over the Republican Party...

Civilization progresses despite you wing nuts, not because of you.

Climategate!

After the rabid attempt to make hay out of it, we are left with this, the non-partisan analysis of the events:

“Climategate” | FactCheck.org

Just as I suspected . It's been more crying WOLF by the deniers. And they were so sure about the evil scientists taking our wealth and putting it in their own pockets. Remember the insanity when this story broke?The smoking gun is a cig butt.

Old Fart,
Upon seeing your magnificent movie poster I immediately burst into laughter, lost sphincter control, sharted, thereby causing a toxic mess. Also, I'm ashamed to admit it, a rather large amount of Methane and CO2 was expelled thru said sphincter, greatly adding to my already large carbon footprint.

Therefore, I have my own theory about AGW. It is caused by the 3 stooges.

CLINK, CLINK...

Millions of 'lost' Bush emails recovered
White House emails retrieved from Bush administration records reveal that top Bush Justice Department officials circulated a memo falsely blaming Al Gore for U.S. failure to get Osama bin Laden.

Now go girls, go find out what real hoax you should have protested. The hoax where neocons lined their pockets, wrecked the law, lied like liars do while you buffoons screamed Muslim Muslim!...Liberal Liberal blah

Eco friendly toilet paper is in the mail. Plz ignore the fact that 700 trees per sheet were cut down and bleach was used in the manufacturing process.
But it is a union made product so all crimes against humanity are expunged.

At least democratic socialism is an investment in oneself as it relates to the world stage let alone, the common good, common knowledge and common courtesy. The left has always been the left, annoying, persistent, socialistic, and good for us most of the time. The right left. The conservatives are the one who have morphed into a party of self inflicted nightmares, anti constitutional, democracy hating, foreign wars starting mismanagement masters.

It should be headlines when they get something right. .

Too funny! The Socialist Left is a group of elitists who steal other people's wealth and redistribute it to their cronies, because they know what's good for us better better than we do. Sound familiar?

That's basic economics, dude. And I wasn't even talking about money, which is only one way to measure a cost. I'm talking about Opportunity Cost, which exists for every decision and action we take. I can't imagine the opportunity cost of the Global Warming movement already. I can't imagine how much worse it will get with Cap'n'Trade and some of these global agreements to literally burn money and waste resources that could be better used elsewhere.

In Washington? There aren't any conservatives there to complain!!!!

In real life, Bush lost the support of most people like me early on with his out-of-control spending. I don't know anyone who wanted to vote for him in 2004, because he had already proven that he wasn't the conservative he campaigned as in 2000. But I know plenty of people who had to make that vote because of the alternative. Gotta love politics!

Yeah, it is kinda fun. At least I learn some interesting things along the way.
Copenhagen looks like it's about to go belly-up, though, but then, I'm not really surprised.
It doesn't bode well, either way.

Our Emperor Sarkoleon takes center stage tonight, so we'll see what he can whip up before your President jingles in on a one horse open sleigh (armor-plated, of course...)

Well, who knows better than you? The doctor? The army general? The cop? The college professor?

I suppose all these evil, socialist characters aren't needed by you until you trip up or you are mugged or face invasion or, god forbid, you want your kids to learn in school. Got a private, free plan for all that? I can guess that involves home schooling and bunkers.

So, is a cop, doctor, etc, justified in robbing me for services I'm not asking for? Does a mechanic make you pay for working on my car? How about I actually choose to pay for the services I use? Right now, I'm paying way too much for way too little education and police protection and, when it comes to military, way, way, way too much for too much military. That's the government way.

Hahahaha

So, you're in an accident... the first responders, you have on retainer, are too far away from you to respond appropriately, Mars is a long way away, and you are rescued by the people's 'thieves' who come to steal the money you saved by being libertarian, but save your life in the process of stealing you blind. I guess you are hoping you can speak well enough to tell them to leave you alone and stop robbing/rescuing you?

The list goes on Mashuri, but I'm certain you have a defense mechanism/excuse for all the scenarios that may befall you in an open, democratic, socialistic society.
No offense but radical muslims protesting freedom in a free society comes to mind.

Hey Goggie, I like your avatar so much I'd like to make my own version of it, but I'm not as handy as you are when it comes to twisting and manipulating things. Think you could take this pic and put a BRod above it, kinda like yours? TIA.

You really are ignorant of how things worked before governments hijacked them. People still got emergency care and were simply billed for it later (it's a reasonable assumption that a person values their life and is willing to pay for services rendered to save it). Back then, you could buy insurance that was actually insurance. You know, payment for an event that was unlikely to happen (unlike routine checkups, having a baby etc). Guess what? Health care was a whole hell of a lot cheaper then. Want to guess why??

Hey right wing moron!
Is that a blog from another hippy hating, pro Palin, 'we get everything wrong' stupid man's portal?
I have no doubt. You fools morph facts faster than poll numbers change personalities.
What will you do when the world lumbers on without you, right over your small heads? Become even more flat earth? More stupid? More wrong? Promise us more failures and lies? Make the wrong decisions? Is the goal of right wing central to hurt us all?

You dream of Palin ruling the world or something? Part of the lament of democracy is having to bring the wrong headed retards with us on the path to evolution that they themselves dont believe in and, overtly denounce despite a billion examples of proof it is a fact, a quadrillion to one chance it isnt true and yet there you are, the young, flat earthers mocking all the certainties and expertise... unfazed, you sound and act like flat earth Shenton and his waco followers... it must make you feel relevant or something.

I refer you to your ideology's distinguished list of utter failures. Past, present and future. Please refer to that list before to beat your chest or mock reality in front of people who warned you but had to watch you try your hardest to you ruin a great nation. Now you want to ruin the world's ecology through ignorance, hate, incompetence and deceit. Believe you me, thats your only great failure, you failed to ruin America...yay. Gawd willing. you will fail to lie away your responsibilities be forced by nature to take care of your habitat. So, maybe you could stop attacking NASA and science itself and practice a little more of a successful approach to life on earth. It's cheaper anyhow.

You're always right though huh? Once again I challenge you to suppose an alternative agenda in the climate scenario that you are wrong about the science, the numbers and the reality.... no plan B? ...figures. We just saw what this results in but hey, you've blamed someone else for recent, ginormous failures and are now ready to mess up even more.. what pathological numb nuts you guys are. No offense..

Good one.
Calls for a meaningful CLINK!
Not the ubiquitous type that we usually find at Zilla.
I know a number of radical left, black-helicopter-fearing, fruits in the hills around me. And isn't it ironic how much they have in common with the right-fruits we all know and love ? Fruit is fruit no matter what the flavor.
