  • Preaching to the Choir

    I guess you don't understand climate very much. For instance, no one can say for sure that last year's hurricane season had anything to do with global warming. Meteorologist Dr. William Gray doesn't think so (http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4403). I would say that there is a high probability based on the evidence. I doubt any scientist would say that they are 100% certain all that we are seeing can be attributed to global warming. I also never said I wasn't convinced. I'm 100% convinced by the evidence. What I don't like is how you posted the Senetor's opinion and dismissed it without addressing what he said. He is quoting Richard S. Lindzen, who, as an MIT Professor, has a lot of influence. This style of journalism will not change anyone's mind who isn't convinced, which leaves you preaching to the choir. Preaching to the choir accomplishes little.On Inhofe responds to AP with flurry of BS posted 3 years, 5 months ago 15 Responses

  • Ends justify the means?

    First, I don't doubt global warming is occuring, but to just ignore and pass off as just another numb nut blowing his horn attitude doesn't accomplish anything. You have a readership that contains people with little knowledge about the issue, and will listen to whatever you say without question. This is no different than the far right evangelical christian whackos that think creation science actually constitutes science and will listen to what ever Pat Robertson says. The fact is, current warming may or not be attributed to human induced changes. Even if it isn't, it doesn't mean human caused global warming is not occuring. Light a match under a glass of ice water and I bet no temperature change occurs until the ice has melted. It might be worse than we think. I do know a bit about climatology and weather, and I know enough to know that the climate is highly variable with or without humans. That said, I do believe we are screwing things up, but we cannot take a Michael Moore the end justifies the means attitude towards those who constantly doubt the issue. Address what was said. Don't just blow it off. Blowing it off is not journalism, which I'm assuming GRIST stides to be. Take the high ground and don't stupe to their level.On Inhofe responds to AP with flurry of BS posted 3 years, 5 months ago 15 Responses

  • Elobarate please

    "Can you find a single fact in that release -- a single one -- that isn't false, misleading, or irrelevant?

    Maybe it is, maybe it isn't misleading, but am I suppose to take your word for it?On Inhofe responds to AP with flurry of BS posted 3 years, 5 months ago 15 Responses

  • About time ...

    someone mad this point.  Let's just assume we plant high yielding crops, our population is still growing.  I can't imagine that if significantly increase biodiesel, it won't be long before we're maxed out on farmland capacity.  I would like to see less farmland farmed, not more land converted into farmland.  Also, I can't imagine urban sprawl helps the situation at all.  Best land converted into parking lots.On Biodiversivist posted 4 years, 5 months ago 24 Responses

  • Mary, you're wrong.

    According to the article below, going vegan during pregnancy and raising children vegan is unethical, and I agree.  Also, going vegan is not good for the cows.  Who is going to raise cows if there is no market for them?  Let's see, I can't sell my milk, meat or leather, but I'll spend my money any way raising them.  Makes sense.  More likely, domesticated cows would cease to exist, which is ok with me.  I'd rather buffalo roaming the pastures of the Great Plains, and I'd eat them too.  I've also read the not so good things about soy.  There is too much literature out there for it not to have some validity.
