World may not be warming, say scientists

[Zepper]

One of the three actual rights is the right to "happiness" (generally make choices as to the disposition of my own assets). The fed gov't doesn't have the authority to make choices as to what bulb or toilet or car I buy or choose not to buy. I can throw a dead incandescent into the trash - done. I can't with CFL (must have a dozen dead ones around here), case won right there IMO. No shortage of water around here - case made for whatever toilet I want. Such issues as the latter should be handled in the areas where it should be handled (closest one to the issue, usually at state level or lower). Instead, we have the fed. gov't putting lower animals over human lives as in the California farmers. All just variants on the same federal overreaching... FFs are spinning in their graves - may even be the cause of GW/CC ;-) .

Snopes article about clean-up after a CFL light bulb breaks. While a Haz-mat team is definite overkill, it is an interesting read especially since we'll all have to deal with this problem at some time.

I loved the quote by the U.S. Energy Star program.

It isn't warming, it's snowed here near Atlanta, GA twice this year already. Just fyi, it snows like the Olympics here, once every 4 years or so.

Snow in Atlanta is clear proof of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. Lack of snow in Atlanta is clear proof of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. That's how the system works.

BUT snow in Atlanta is not clear proof that CAGW isn't happening and vice versa because weather isn't climate when it goes against the CAGW church.

That's the beauty of CAGW - there is and never can be any proof that it isn't happening because all weather is evidence of CAGW. There are even mechanisms to show that if we slip into another ice age, it can be blamed on global warming.

"Global Cooling"
"Global Warming"
"Climate Change"
"The snow and cold temperatures proves global warming."
"But the snow and cold temperatures do not dismiss global warming."

It truly is a thing of beauty...Algore and Co. have concocted a truly brilliant farce. Heck, they even got a religious cult formed around a money-making scheme!

Dear OP,

Your previous forum posts are an insoluble puzzle to me. The grammar is good and exhibits considerable character, and there are even traces of intelligence in what you say, yet this post and your post history profess to be the work of the same hand. The person who wrote this post is without doubt the most ignorant person now alive on the planet; also without doubt he is an idiot, an idiot of the 33rd degree, and scion of an ancestral procession of idiots stretching back to the Missing Link. It puzzles me to make out how the same hand could have constructed your post and your post history. Puzzles fret me, puzzles annoy me, puzzles exasperate me; and always, for a moment, they arouse in me an unkind state of mind toward the person who has puzzled me. A few moments from now my resentment will have faded and passed and I shall probably even be praying for you; but while there is yet time I hasten to wish that you may take a dose of your own trolling by mistake, and enter swiftly into the damnation which you and all other trolls have so remorselessly earned and do so richly deserve.

Adieu, adieu, adieu!

Dear Noob wannabe asshole,

Your singular post is anything but an insoluble puzzle to me. The grammar is good and exhibits considerable ability to cut and paste large words, and there are substantial elements of brainless assholiness in what you say, yet this post and and the text of this mindless screed appear to be the work of the same hand.

As noted, the determination of an appropriate course of action is anything but an insoluble puzzle. You are permanently banned from AnandTech Forums. :thumbsdown:

Adieu, adieu, adieu!

Pretty much a standard response from AGW supporters, no science, no links in support of their stance, just a small minded attack on people that disagree with them.

In related news, climate scientests withdraw claims of rising sea levels.

Probably amid claims that "climate change is progressing even more quickly than we feared!"

The oceans will continue to rise as it has for thousands of years...just not nearly as fast as was projected by some 'overjealous scientists'. I guess the 'consensus ' was wrong in this case.

Can't use fearmongering if people are actually going to check the data. Hockey stick anyone?

It's kind of funny to watch this huge scam fall apart. But I can't help being angry over al the money wasted on this crap. Including mine.
