Kwark, you were wrong in one part.
You think you're special but tl won't remember you, I won't remember you,

I was going to mention the same thing, but I wasn't sure if it was neversummer that KwarK was referring to, lol.
In any case, it will forever be here now on the ABL, for everyone to remember.

Perhaps not the kind of "special" he thought he was.

I voted for neversummer, because I was there for that amazing thread.
Memories....

Damn, that string of PMs makes me doubt about my vote..... This is just hilarious.
The part about spamming mails "until someone read them and take actions" is just WTF !

Say what you like. I voted for neversummer. KwarK's early PM reveals were what ultimately swayed my choice.
Voted neversummer too because of the PM's released during the rounds. I think extremely Failsafe is hilarious and any of these two is a deserving champion.

A federal committee has published a draft of the nation's third climate assessment report, a comprehensive analysis of the latest and best peer-reviewed science on the extent and impacts of global warming on the United States.
None of the body's findings are entirely new, but the report suggests that evidence is now stronger and clearer than ever that the climate is rapidly changing -- primarily as a result of human activities, including the copious burning of fossil fuels. Observed weather extremes are on the rise, and the possible connection between at least some of these events and human-induced climate change is also more strongly supported by the science.
The nation can expect increased impacts on everything from crops to fresh water supplies, and better and broader national plans for adaptation are needed, the assessment noted.
The draft report, which was prepared by the so-called National Climate Assessment Development Advisory Committee and written and amassed by a group of 240 scientists, will be subject to a three-month period of review and public comment.
"Climate change presents a major challenge for society," the committee's leadership said in a letter addressed to the American people. "This report and the sustained assessment process that is being developed represent steps forward in advancing our understanding of that challenge and its far-reaching implications for our nation and the world."
In an emailed statement, Gene Karpinski, the president of the League of Conservation Voters, said the report confirms what many Americans already know. "Hurricane Sandy and the historic droughts, floods and heat waves happening across the country aren't a fluke, but the result of a climate warming much faster than previously thought," he said. "If we put off action on climate change, the costs of addressing its impacts will only rise and this extreme weather will be just the beginning.

I'm sorry, but if you go back 100's of years of climates being charted, you can see the variation, everyone wants to blame it on humans burning fossil fuel. I'm sorry, but the sun is getting hotter, could that possibly make the earth warmer! The moon drifts further away from the earth, could that make the earth warmer! There are literally a 100 things that could contribute to global warming, but what is the single one that could fill our pockets? Oh wait, humans.

I kind of wish we would ban everyone that didn't believe in global warming. The thread makes my head hurt sometimes. ~.~

I only wish we would ban anyone that argues like this:

On the bright side, if you start up your own forum you WILL be able to ban everyone who doesn't agree with your opinion on a somewhat controversial topic. Especially when tons of propaganda influence the public opinion (note I said influence instead of educate) on the issue at hand.
I'll be honest with you here. I did not do dozens of hours of research on the topic nor have I read dozens of published articles and theses. I'm not going to pull some random bullshit statistics or quotes from my ass either. But from what I have come to understand, some of what this guy says is correct. Yes, Earth has been through various climate changes (not just to a hotter temperature but also the Ice Ages) throughout its history, both before human society came to be and even before man as a species appeared. And, should we not find a stable and accurate way to control weather to our will, similar events would occur in the future as well. Does industrial activity as well as the sum of personal uses of fossil fuel contribute to this phenomenon we are experiencing here, of global warming? Yes. Is the phenomenon accelerating? Yes. Is it really as bad as many people would bet their lives on? Not really.
Can we do something about this issue? Most likely yes. However it's not that cost efficient right now, and as you should be well aware, large corporations manipulate things for their own interest i.e. profit. The massive propaganda against nuclear power does not help a single bit either, but nor do the hipsters who blindly "go green".
As with many controversial topics, you will find a lot of people whose opinions are unknowingly shaped by propaganda, in other words the opinion that the media has pushed for the people to believe, and you will also find a lot of people who do not buy any of it, but refuse to do research and end up going in the other extreme. However, the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Do let me know that I'm wrong and you (Blisse) would love to ban me though. ^.-
EDIT 2: Actually do that through PM, I've probably posted enough off-topics in the ABL. lol

His argument was pretty silly but it did make some fair points and to dismiss all of it entirely would be just as stupid as him dismissing global warming entirely.

Imagine all the possible combinations of letters. Obviously you can't, there are limitless as I didn't say that letters can't be reused. In his case he only used an infinitesimal fraction of the total possible letters, do you really think that he could have possibly made his point with just those?

His first post I found a bit ironic in that he accused the other guy of spouting random science babble without having a clue what it means, but he himself did not elaborate on the topic either.
The second post though was evidently facetious and quite representative of the bullshit that naive people such as the OP tried to push in that thread.
Also this is not the place to report people. :/
Goddamnit he got double drive-by'd.

I guess it's fair game now
yeastiality was just temp banned for 30 days by EvilTeletubby.
That account was created on 2011-04-17 13:52:08 and had 353 posts.
Reason: After carefully reviewing your posting and moderation history, you're being issued a 30 day ban.
Reason being aggressive, condescending posting that you've been warned about multiple times before. There is nothing constructive or even tangible in your recent posts that I looked through. You add nothing of value.
Fix it when you come back or we'll remove you permanently.
It is rare to spot a ban suspect in two different forums at the same time. He was a little... aggressive in his posting.
