I'll bet he's a lot more "sold out" than you are too, which means
he'll be making a LOT more money from "climate change" (his "personal
crusade") than you will. He studies ice cores, you know. That data
that was so readily attacked and called into question. One only needs
to examine the monetary value of Algore pre and post AGW promotion to
see how it all works.

Quite a few! Which means, of course, that it is totally futile to
institute any "cap and trade" scheme now! So why are the alarmists
still pushing so hard for it? Oh that's right. It's because the
"tipping points" are fake but the money is real!

Hey gordo.... one day your side says that if skeptics or "Deniers" use
Youtube.... then we must be idiots....

Then the next day.... one of you guys goes and uses Youtube......
well.... which is it.... what's the rule ? ? ?

I'm sure that you've heard of the Alarmist comrade of yours....
"erschroedinger"

erschoredinger: Youtube is not science.

"Sorry, I don't consider youtube science, but now I know what you
mean
when you say you study science -- you watch youtube." -

"Youtube is not science. Sorry to have to break that to you."

hey... sorry gordo.... I didn't make the rule.... you'll
have to speak to comrade erschroedinger...

It really reminds me of another great example of Alarmist double
standards...

When skeptics.. ( or denialists) post something and don't include
references or cites.... we get asked to include cites.... our posts
are "worthless" without cites....

But look what happens when I do the same and ask an Alarmist for a
cite.... We all know comrade "Dawlish" and his "stupid seats" don't
we ? ?

Dawlish posted:
>"...go fish for the

>"cite"...............so go fish."


This was my reply to Dawlish:

Then you won't mind me quoting you next time some
Alarmist asks me to cite my sources...
I'll just tell them to "...go fish.", and refer them to what you
said about fishing for the facts themselves.
At times I haven't included cites.... Alarmists are quick to call
my information worthless without cites.
Doesn't it work both ways? ? Shouldn't it also apply to
Alarmists? ?
Thank you .


AGW Alarmists........ what a buch of double standard
idiots... and guys like "Dawlish" tell US to go sit in the "stupid
seats"......

It's so funny.....

That's only because we took action to prevent disaster, meathead. And
the economy has absolutely nothing to do with your silly little
argument.
