Typical leftist response. Caught in a lie once again, unable to defend your boy, you change the subject. Facts are facts, and as always, the left plays fast and loose with them. Bottom line, the world has seen your climate change issue for what it is, a total scam.
'fraid not: Overwhelming U.S. public support for global warming action "Two new polls issued today confirm that an overwhelming portion of Americans want domestic action and an international agreement to reduce global warming pollution. More than half the respondents want to do a great deal to reduce the threat of global warming, while only one-quarter oppose action." http://www.grist.org/article/2009-12-15-overwhelming-u.s.-public-support-for-global-warming-action/
The polls are a bigger scam than climate change itself. More manipualted numbers by leftist organizations. Here are some polls showing the exact opposite. http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5539-poll-shows-belief-in-global-warming-is-declining The greenosphere is in a frenzy about new polls showing that Americans neither understand nor particularly care about climate changeâone from Rasmussen, another from Pew.
Yeah, about that Gore/sea ice claim, here's NRO's retraction on the whole issue: http://planetgore.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MDU2MGU5ZGFiMmExMTNjNmE4YjUyNjRkM2ZmZWViNjc= From the article: "It appears that far from just a â'ballpark figure' several years ago in a conversation with Mr. Gore,â that Maslowski has indeed made this ice-free Arctic prediction much more formally and in model studies. Gore's version of events appears to be accurate..." Any retraction from you?
Umm... okay, "CaptainObvious." It's a little tough to believe that the people at NASA really qualify as "idiots" though.
Sometimes they are... 27 January 1967 - Roger Chaffee, Virgil Grissom (Mercury 4 and Gemini 3), and Edward White (Gemini 4) were killed at Cape Kennedy during a training exercise for the Apollo 1 mission. The crew died as a result of a fire within the spacecraft cabin. 28 January 1986; Space Shuttle Challenger (STS-51L): Cold launch temperatures contributed to a failure of O-rings on one of the solid rocket motors. As a result of this failure, hot exhaust gases escaped out of the side of the solid rocket motor that in turn led to a major structural failure of the launch vehicle about 73 seconds after liftoff. All seven crew members were killed. 1 February 2003; Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-107), over northeast Texas: Columbia was in the re-entry phase of flight
No, they're not. You can call them negligent, but you can't seriously call the employees of NASA idiots. In order to buy what CaptainObvious is selling we have to believe that conspiracies exist in all the National Academies of Sciences, the NOAA, the CRU, NASA, and so on. Or we can believe what Rupert Murdoch is selling in the Telegraph and his worldwide network of tabloids -- even when he gets the facts wrong, as I just showed.
Maybe not idiots, but lets be honest. The space race is over and a lot of people don't consider NASA funding to be of primary concern. Does the global warming hoax help or hurt NASA's ability to get funding? The answer is obvious.
Umm... not to me. Which is it supposed to do? And how many different conspiracy theories do I have to believe in order for you to consider me "rational?"
