NBC hit piece on "Climate change" airing now

[UNT90]

And it appears they are going to try and say one year of bad weather in certain places are an absolute that man made global warming is occurring.

Crap like this does nothing but increase skepicism of agenda science.

[UNT90]

Wow. Atlanta got 2 inches of ice.

Global warming.

[UNT90]

Now warming is a cause of the cold winter.

Lol.

[UNT90]

Presenting theories as facts.

Of course, only the theories that agree with the "news special's" theme.

[UNT90]

"Her theory has merit, but needs more study."

Translation: More government grant funding.

Scare tactics.

But they did give one minute to a sensible guy who says the science isn't there.

One minute.

[Coffee and TV]

Why do you make Neil DeGrasse Tyson sad? Why is that your agenda?

[FirefightnRick]

Doesn't NBC know there's a difference between weather and climate?

Rick

The other thread got locked for a reason. It was clearly too much denier circlejerk. Why would you make another one?

I'm a rebel?

And, ya, that's the reason it got locked...

Please, '90, tell me you know what a 'theory' is in science.

Now warming is a cause of the cold winter.

That's why it's called 'climate change', '90, it ain't just about warming.

I'm going to try really hard to refrain from adding anything else to this thread but I'm weak, Lord, I know I'm weak.

He really makes me question UNT's educational capacity circa late-80s.

No, the other thread got locked because neither side of the argument was making any reasonable arguments and it had devolved into name calling.

See?

Exactly! So he makes another one?

[forevereagle]

Not sure why he made a new one, but we could all decide not to take a new thread in the same direction, right?

But you can't have a global warming thread not devolve into that. He has no idea what a theory is and said so. He attacks anyone who believes in it. I mean, dude posted passive aggressive posts 4 times in a row. (!!)

Right, so you can claim that ANYTHING is global warming.

Oceans go up? Global warming.

Oceans go down? Global warming

Cold in Atlanta? Global Warning.

Hot summer in Vancouver? Global warming.

My nuts feeling cozy? Global warming.

Sweating too much? Global warming.

And, of course, federal funds must be used to investigate ALL of these things.

[UNT90]

And you make me question why we admit immature 12 year olds, so we are kinda even.

More like aggressive aggressive.

Perhaps I created a new thread because there happened to be a made for TV horror movie about to be broadcast on a topic of disagreement on this forum?

It's not all about you, junior.

At one point there were glaciers in Cleveland....not sure what that means but.....just sayin'

Yeah, I think we've been in a warming phase for about 20 thousand years give or take.

The rate at which we warmed for the 20th century is sorta alarming when you look at it. I'm somewhere in the middle in this flame war though. Given the fact that the Earth (and life itself) is pretty resilient, everyone saying we're ruining Earth is slightly off base. We may be ruining it for US, but life is gonna continue on for billions more years, whether humanity is here or not (life survived snowball earth for crying out loud!). Well....till the Sun goes Red Giant on our ass anyway. Then the earth is kinda effed.

Back to the topic at hand.

I watched about 30 minutes before changing the channel. A bunch if guys who started out with "well, my theory is that" and the the program running with that "theory" as it was fact, leading undereducated Americans to believe it is so (hey, the news said it, so it must be right!)

Pure drivel, and a bunch of guys clearly hoping to get recognition for their next federal grant application.

Global warming causes brush fires, which in turn cause global warming.

Lol.

This type of factless drivel really hurts the cause of people truly seeking the truth about climate change (maybe 5 or 6 total, Lol).

Here is a climate change fact. When I was in elementary school, the global population was estimated 3.5 billion. Today it's estimated at over 7 billion. So, in the name of Earth, lets get back to some good old genicide and mandated sterilization!

Maybe Putin IS the answer!
