So, you agree that climate change is real after all! Good, whell! There just might be hope for you after all.

.......... nah!
Beat me to continental drift, curses!

One other note, the artic is still teeming with life presently. Muskeg peat bogs are prevalent throughout the region. When the AlCan highway was built, it wasn't uncommon to lose a D9 'dozer completely during the summer months. They sank to the bottom of the bogs. These bogs also emit copious amounts of methane as the temps creep up. Methane is another factor newly being studied. It is much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2.

Ennywho, another science denying thread bites the dust.

This begs the question of why you constantly cite articles and op eds from the worst of what you acknowledge is a bad lot. I'm thinking of The Telegraph, of course, and also the Daily Mail, the Washington Times, Breitbart, Newsmax and CNS. Seems your efforts are directed more toward serving an agenda and less toward promoting truth and honesty. I take this as a clear indication of your overall lack of honesty.

Sorry to keep going back to this little fewmet but I keep finding little gems of irrelevance and dishonesty.

Of course I noticed that and I found it pretty pathetic that the author needed to cite himself as a source. Some journalist!

More importantly, what significance do you attach to the fact that this guy has been spouting the same nonsense for a long time? To me, it speaks to nothing more than Goebbels' dictum about the "big lie".

Wasn't the Daily Mail the one who had topless buxom gals on the second page?

No, no, no, Bob. It was The Sun. And it was on Page 3.



When I lived in Princeton the local papers we had were the Trenton Times and the Trentonian. Like The Sun, The Trentonian was a tabloid and, also like The Sun, it had pinups but they were tamer and were shifted back to Page 6.

Oh my stars! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(United_Kingdom) Part of the Rupert Murdoch empire. Now I know where he found Megan Kelly and Andrea Tantaros.

The difference between these two is that Kelly is actually very smart but Tantaros is dumb as a bag of hammers.
