I assure everyone that the country will be almost identical in 4 years, regardless of whether Romney wins or Obama wins. | ||

Essentially, it would be a statement that elections are quantitatively unpredictable. Sure Karl Rove, Fox News, etc. have qualitatively predicted Romney to win, but that's not really what I'm talking about here. I think Obama will win, but if Romney does win, and by the margins some Republican pundits are predicting, it will say a lot about the polls. The right wing pundits try to claim it's because of intentional bias, but I've read a lot of theories about why the polling might unintetionally skew Democrat (not as part of a conspiracy, just due to random factors). | ||

The vast majority of the ariticles treat global warming as fact since proof that it's happening is so easily obtained. | ||

Global warming cultists are making a HUGE f'ing claim, not only that human activity is causing dramatic change to the earth's envionment and climate, but that those changes are going to be catostrophic in nature, to the point we need to drastically alter every aspet of our lives to combat them. To say the jury is still out on that is being generous. There have been some data points indicating rising global temperatures, but connecting that to CO2 emissions is still iffy, and in fact the earth's tempature has begun going back down slightly, yet CO2 emissions are higher than ever. The government needs scare tactics to gain power typically, be it the "terrorists" or global warming or some other imaginary threat. | ||

If you look at temperature trends over the past 100 years they trend upwards but if you look at each data point they tend to go up and down with the ups being higher and the lows not being quite as low. We have always had cyclical temperatures its just that its trending upwards. | ||

At least I realize this and didn't believe in all this Hopey McChange crap people bought about Obama back in '08. Obama looks poised to win agian, but at least people have wised up to the fact he's not some sort of half-black Messiah that will deliver us to the promise land, but a standard run of the mill politician. | ||

How the hell does anyone assume that when it comes to influencing the public through media, scientists would be able to outdo the oil industry, to pull off such a "conspiracy" against the world's most wealthiest industry? I mean, that is impressive. The fact that climate change is becoming more accepted is a victory of our intellectual honesty over the business of media. Despite all the often-paid-for "contrary" opinions on the subject, people are accepting that science has been so successful over the years because they're in the business of openly, publicly scrutinizing themselves better than anyone in the media can. They know what facts are, and they know how to work with them. The way you post, on the other hand, suggests the opposite. | ||
