The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Well, he's qualified, and it makes a pleasant change from those garishly multi-coloured sites that usually get linked to. I recently watched a British documentary on Chaos Theory where climatologist Prof. Peter Cox said that yes, man-made warming was real, but that we'd quite likely passed the point at which anything could be done about it. Cheerful bloke. |

Even if man *is* contributing to "warming" (you're supposed to call it "climate change, not warming, because there hasn't been any warming in a long, long time).... it's a good thing, since co2 is plant food. If you want to "save the planet go plant a couple of trees and get your hand out of my pocket - and stop insulting our intelligence by claiming this issue has *anything* to do with climate. |

Lots of people on both sides of the debate sound very sure of themselves on this topic. Me, I'm not sure. It seems to me like this is really freaking complex, and I'm unwilling to come to a conclusion based on how much I understand. |

I just remind myself that Algore wrote in his book that we would be buried under the oceans by 2015, and it's 2017 and everything is still pretty much the same as it was when he wrote that. |

I wonder if there's a single other example in the world of a scientific conclusion, which isn't self-evident, which has important political ramifications. I don't think there is. But I know the political (and ultimately personal, financial) pressure felt by those participating in the consensus must be enormous. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

Me, I don't think either side has a lock on the Truth, as too much of the science is unknown and the model is subject to change with the natural climate changes of the earth and the sun. Face it, we're all one good solar flare from being toast. |

I would say that evolution by natural selection is self-evident. Mike Pence apparently would disagree. It seems to have political ramifications in the US, maybe not particularly important ones except to those who feel that somehow Darwin's theory undermines their spiritual beliefs, a view I don't really understand, unless one takes the Bible literally, which again I don't really understand. |

Indeed, rather silly to think that either guns or homophobia can scare or appease the sun god into not flaring you. |

I don't cling to anything, schiesskopf. And I don't have anything against gays marrying, as long as it is somebody of the opposite sex... Klaus, pardon me if I misspelled that one. |

What was stupid about it is your apparent ignorant belief that people who don't buy into the religion of climate change think guns scare away a sun god. What was stupid about it was your apparent ignorant belief that those who do not buy into the religion of climate change are by virtue of that, homophobic. And further, that you are stupid enough to think that being against gay marriage has anything to do with homophobia - a word I now seriously doubt you even know the meaning of. What was stupid about it was how you managed in so few words to give us an example of the kind of brain rot those on my side of the fence have to deal with when engaging a leftwing nutjob, a prime example of why those of us with a functioning brain no longer see a reason to give the left's viewpoint any credibility. |
