Don't tell me what it "concerns" sissy, if you have an assertion to make, MAKE IT!

Anthropogenic climate change is just a theory, and in fact, might as well be a myth. Even though "all the cool kids are talking about it", there are actually scientists who disagree completely with the theory, and its unproven cause/effect relationships, and the faulty data/science behind it.

Maybe you should look at the other sides views with an open mind before you say you are absolutely positive that "anthropogenic climate change" is a fact.

If, as you say, "there are actually scientists who disagree completely with the theory, and its unproven cause/effect relationships, and the faulty data/science behind it". Can you please quote for me some of the papers that these scientists are publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals?

If, as you say, "it might as well be a myth", then there must be a very rigorous debate going on by way of published peer-reviewed papers.

Can you provide me some links to some?

Not blogs, not media thinkpieces - but scientific journals - where real scientists publish their work to be assessed by others. You seem to know all about this - where is the scientific literature?

(BTW: finding a published paper denying climate change isn't completely impossible, one, out of the vast amount of research being done on this subject, one made it through to publication last December - see if you can find it!)

BTW - where did I say I was "absolutely positive that "anthropogenic climate change" is a fact.? You appear to be dishonest as well as ignorant. You don't understand how science works, you don't understand what science is. Stop trying to pretend that you do.

Dear Blade:

If you take nothing else from this thread, please be aware that the following:

Quote:
Take a tip - sell the car, catch a train. You do realise don't you that people probably giggle at you as you drive by in your "muscle car". Everybody knows they are just penile compensatory devices.
is the absolute, gospel truth.

I never pass a hummer, corvette, mustang, or other muscle car without thinking, "Hmmmmm...wonder what HE'S compensating for."

It takes a man who is very secure in his "manhood" to drive a prius. Never mock them. They're generally huge in all the right ways.

If I'm dishonest and ignorant then there is no point in me providing you with these links. A dishonest person wouldn't give you an honest answer. I guess you already found one which shows you are less ignorant than me. Since I don't understand what science is, I guess I'll have to go back to school, get a degree in science, then I won't have to pretend next time I write about it in a blog.

So it appears that the answer there is that no - you cant find any scientific papers by any of these "scientists who disagree completely with the theory, and its unproven cause/effect relationships, and the faulty data/science behind it"

You seem to have just made that up.

Let me know if you need any help understanding this stuff. I'd be happy to help.

Then I must be really secure, because I drive a Jetta wagon.

No, I just see no point in arguing with someone who's chosen method of debate is to insult me by calling me dishonest and ignorant. If you didn't catch that in the dripping use of sarcasm in my previous post, I must appologize as I was warned not to use sarcasm or irony without a license by someone in an earlier post.

What if you have a '67 GTO, with dual, four-barrel carburetors, and your weiner is is 12 inches long, with dual, four barrel carburetors??
