Screw Global Warming and to Hell with the Economy.

its only irrelevant to someone who can't explain why co2 follows change in ocean temp and change in temps over land yet still claims co2 causes warming.
Yes, we need more good, kind atheists like Stalin and Mao...the two worst mass murderers in history.
This thread has taken more absurd turns than a post-modern novel read by an idiot savant on acid.
In what way?
It would appear that nobody got this.
In any case, I thought you might be interested in something I ran across this morning:
“What I say is not an opinion,” Tyson said. “Life is too short to debate people’s opinions. There is an old saying, if a debate lasts more than five minutes, both sides lost.”
This is the reason Tyson says he doesn’t debate. “My publicist wanted to set up a series of debates with me about Pluto, but I don’t care that much—call Pluto a planet, call it a planetoid, it doesn’t matter to me,” he said. “Just make sure that whatever you call it, you are doing so informed.”
Tyson said as an educator, his goal is not to tell people what to think, but to teach them how to think and provide them with scientific facts. It’s up to them to decide what to do with this knowledge. “I am not a totalitarian, I don’t want to tell you what to believe. I want to provide you with the tools and evidence to arrive at your position on your own, and if you disagree with me, that’s fine, as long as your disagreement does not harm others.”
Tyson was seemingly verging on a more political discussion, though he has stayed guarded on his political leanings. “I have opinions and I lean one way over another, but I am not here to share my opinion or tell someone how they should vote,” said the scientist. He also had a fear that his fans could adopt his opinions simply because Tyson had stated them and not because they arrived at the same conclusions on their own.
Tyson has a long history of not openly endorsing any political party. He believes that science is apolitical, and politicians should come to scientists for information when it is in regards to public policy. “One thing that brings me great sadness is when a scientific discovery that should be apolitical is politicized, and suddenly people are choosing sides on their own and not consulting with scientists.”
He reminded me that the National Academy of Sciences was formed for this very purpose. If politicians needed to gather scientific information in order to write public policy, they would reach out to NAS, but today they choose sides that only seem to serve them personally.
“When you cherry-pick information to serve a need, there is a problem,” he said, referring to politicians who ignore evidence that does not support their political position or religious beliefs.
While Tyson says he does not like to tell people what to believe, he has spoken out against many types of science denial, especially on episodes of “Cosmos” in which he addressed issues like climate change and discussed that you can really take it to climate deniers by hitting them where it hurts most, their wallets.
Tyson insisted he was providing the overwhelming evidence in support of the anthropogenic global warming theory, not simply by telling people it was true, but by showing them how we know it’s true and the significance of its impact. Tyson’s mission is to educate as many people as he can to think critically and to arrive at their conclusions and beliefs informed. He knows he cannot make everyone agree, but believes that if people are making informed decisions about science, we have a chance of making fewer bad decisions with the knowledge we have.
That I saw this this morning was particularly appropriate as I had been thinking about the nonsensical "debate" about global warming, which the easily-intimidated changed to "climate change" due to the common dullness of those who lol and haha and otherwise point derisive fingers at those who issue alerts about global warming by stating what is "obvious": that global warming is a hoax because it results in global cooling (lol, haha, smiley face). This remark is the simplest and quickest flag that the writer has no idea how climate works or even what "global warming" is all about.
what a twisted bunch of rhetoric. he is totally slanted.
its why he is so welcome on maher and loved by Huffpo and Msnbc.
I just watched a 6 minute clip with Chris Hayes on the subject.
He spoke of an emerging scientific understanding.
What a fraudulent representation of what is happening.
First of all emerging is not the same as overwhelming evidence and secondly the emerging science points out the models are wrong and that the sun the moon the currents and the tides have a lot to do with warming and cooling.
one minute he tells you he is not taking sides then he tells you to slam "deniers"
that is just about the most unscientific thing a scientist could do.
where is the overwhelming evidence he claims there is.
there is not one iota of scientific evidence showing man made co2 is causing warming.
Seriously. If he produced any he would have a Nobel prize.
Its a shame a smart guy like tyson has whored himself out so badly.

exactly... you post leftist bullshit and I ask for substance and you don't produce any.
was anyone surprised by that troll cliche?
as if you have ever linked to science showing man made co2 is causing warming.
or could.
not charts which show we are warming on some time frame
not something which shows co2 captures some energy and then re emits. (because it does but it also works as a shield)
but actually science showing man made co2 is warming the earth and that the earth is not warming because of the sun or the currents or the tides.
