Not even a little apology? Here's what I wrote: "(By the way, Obama earned his money well before he entered politics, and through writing books.)" As for Obama not having the time, what with his running the printing presses to reprint his old books, and personally driving the trucks that...

Yes, you definitely should. Amazingly, Obama wrote more than one book. His first was published in 1995. Do I get an apology? Here's a little breakdown on his finances: http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/moneymag/0712/gallery.candidates.moneymag/5.html

Uhhh no, she is the heiress to a beer fortune, so yes, she was worth millions 28 years ago when McCain cheated on his first wife with her. Additionally the logic that McCain married the beautiful rich model because he had depth intrigues me. [b] Republicans attacked Obama as being the...

:) I can't tell if you're joking or not with your statement. (By the way, Obama earned his money well before he entered politics, and through writing books.) [b] :) Okay, you're being sarcastic I think. McCain may have asked for no favors, but anyone else, who isn't the son of an...

We'd be entertained to hear what correlation you're referring to, since it's been proven that CO2 molecules absorb infrared radiation, and increasing CO2 levels have been directly measured for almost 60 years.

Well it's true that a 150 year moving average does lag a bit... :)

Wow, that's some source you've got there considering that at no point except at the end of the forum were both candidates even intending to appear together on stage, the whole forum was solo-candidate facetime, and was always planned to be so. Your "source" is incredibly confused and has...

Once again, climatologists can only predict global average temperatures. If a stock index went in a straight line upwards for 150 years straight, give or take noise, you'd invest. Yet you're unwilling to invest in this.

Firstly, petitions aren't evidence and those mostly aren't climatologists. Secondly: "The petition was so misleading that the National Academy issued a news release stating that: The petition project was a deliberate attempt to mislead scientists and to rally them in an attempt to...

Well there are no guarantees in life, but often technological improvements result in economic improvements. As we can see by GM, though, private industry will only act at a (if you'll forgive the pun) a glacial pace.

Well I agree that his wife isn't an issue, nor is his haircuts, or his $500 shoes. Although, personally, I feel that anyone who becomes a drug addict and steals to support their habit is not fine. But I agree, her criminality should not be at issue. Although it could be said, as with Wright...

I know this answer is going to frustrate you, but that question has no inherent meaning. Is an apple more complex than an orange? [b] ??? Actually scientists have quite a lot of history to work from. They have 50 years of direct CO2 observations from the Keeling curve, they have...

Uhhh... no, no one knows how many of the rest aren't doing okay because they removed the requirements for reporting. About 10 were inspected and judged totally unaccepted, 10 more wouldn't let the reporters in the door. Some are good, some are abysmal. But nobody really knows, 'cause the...

Except that article you're referring to wasn't in a climatology journal, wasn't peer reviewed, and wasn't accepted by international groups and NASA. [b] Can you show us the Scientific American article from 1924 that you're referring to? Because I don't believe it exists. Additionally...

If it's live debate you want, check out realclimate. But be warned, the vast majority of climatologists, at least 90% agree with the Keeling curve and global climate change. The reason you have trouble finding the debate is that there aren't that many climatologists who actually disagree...

Really! So over 10 years you're talking a 10% increase in the atmospheric carbon, and over 20 years you're talking 20% of the Earth's atmospheric carbon. 50 years, 50% higher. (Your numbers) Do you still feel that it's unlikely to have an effect (based on your numbers)? [/b] Actually...

Some? The average car puts out something like 40 tons of CO2 in its lifespan. A ton of CO2 is a very, very large volume of CO2. There are millions and millions of cars. [B] Thanks, I'll have to read it at some point. [B] No idea, I assume more but my beliefs aren't relevant...

Wow, so much wrongness in such a small paragraph. Look, I can't correct all of your groups' misconceptions, but first off and most importantly, it's not "appeal to experts" the logical fallacy is "appeal to authority" and secondly, it's not always a fallacy just as long as its a valid...

Really? Because I thought it was more about the fact, not that McCain has too many homes or multiple homes, but that he doesn't even know how many homes he has thus displaying how really out of touch he is with the common man. [b] You have incredibly low expectations for citizenry.

Very well then, your "speculation" is therefore false.
