Lol. Nice ad hominem attack there. Any time you wanna discuss the merits, feel free.
This is the Pit. Debating an issue on the merits belongs in GD, where you never debate with intellectual honesty.
A bold statement considering you evade and dodge instead of actually debating.
My cite are the myriad AGW threads in great debates where you’ve never scored a single point, yet you wiggle and try to poke holes using semantics and childish arguments. Honestly you’re pathetic.
And the utter majesty of your failure gives me a smile. 
Aw hell, it gives me two.
Yep. As I said, any time you want to debate the merits feel free.
Lol. I see you prefer ad hominem attacks. Why am I not surprised?
Lol. That’s complete BS. Indeed, one of my opponents in GD expressly admitted to “dodging and weaving.” But I guess that doesn’t count by your standards. Why am I not surprised?
Because you’re stupid? Lulz.
Nope. Because you’re blind. Metaphorically, of course.
Boy, you just can’t pass up a chance to embarrass yourself, can you?
I can just imagine the rhetoric now.
The evil rebels want to destroy our Mother. They do not love her, else they would join the great project for her preservation! Her will is clear, otherwise we would not have the mandate that we have. Even now the rebels destroy valuable pipelines that bring necessary resources to our people, spilling toxic chemicals into the ground water and emptying gases into the air. Wildlife is killed by every attack and your health is put at risk. Yet they continue to speak like their cause is glorious and just. They fight for freedom. Freedom for what? To rape and pillage our precious natural resources? Freedom to place industrial offal in our faucets?
DNFTT.
Boy, you just can’t pass up a chance to jump in with ad homenim shots, can you? (As opposed to going to GD and debating the merits)
“If Gaia be for us…who could be against us?”
I welcome the establishment of an authoritarian government to deal with global warming.
For two reasons. One, the person or committee that has absolute control over our lives will be uncorruptable, and have no interest in the trappings of comfort, wealth, and power that surround them. Rather, they will make every necessary personal sacrifice for the sake of future generations. Just as peope who govern always have.
But more importantly, I will relish the smug satisfaction of seeing the people who needed freedom the most — the politically and economically weak — stifled and powerless once they have conferred this absolute power upon their saviors whose promises they believed. They will be like the dog that has finally clamped its teeth onto the tire of the car it’s been chasing for so long. They will not be allowed to complain as they are assigned their tasks and meager portions. They will at last have their tartar sauce.
No, probably not. But here’s a very funny SF novel based on the idea. (In this story, a new Ice Age has made Canada uninhabitable and America unpleasant. The Ice Age was due in the normal course of events anyway, but the blame is still put on the ecofreaks-in-power because – in addition to putting an effective stop to technological progress, ruining the economy and ending the space program – they put a stop to global warming just when it would have come in useful.)
Can you name a form of government that is nimble?
Kind of his point, I think 
I prefer mine without relish but I agree with you. When you look at the housing bubble like a game of musical chairs, you become reasonably detached. Please read this Guardian Editorial.
Similarly climate change issues are best handled at the grass roots level. No central government restrictions may be effectively applied here.
Except when they negate grassroots level opposition.
And how can climate change issues be handled at the grass roots level?
If the people lead, the leaders will follow. When you got them by the ballots, the hearts and minds go with.
People like you shouldn’t be allowed to use the word “realistically”.
You can’t even answer simple yes or no questions about what scientists say about global warming, never mind actually having an educated opinion on whether those scientists are right.
The word “realistic” should be reserved for people who have a grip on reality. You using that word is like one a circus clown walking around downtown Manhattan in big fucking shoes, wearing a squirting flower, and saying, “Seriously, guys …”
