(I wanted to post this in GD, with the following preface, but didn’t want to “push my luck.”)
If some crackpot like Anderson Cooper or Oprah Winfrey had done the following, IMHO or BBQ Pit would be the proper forum for this query. But Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States so it seems right to show him a little respect and solicit honest debate. Is his pick to lead an important Committee on Climate Change appropriate?
No, it is not.
:rolleyes:
Because a gaseous chemical has exactly the same moral weight as millions of people.
Note that Happer was already in his mid-70s when he made that notorious remark, and is now nearly 80. Not trying to downplay his competence or accomplishments in his own branch of physics, but when it comes to climate science he is not a more reputable authority than any other elderly retired scientist with no training in climate science.
Soooo … a senile notorious climate change denier
Anyone dumb enough to think such a thing would probably fall for the dihydrogen monoxide hoax.
Why?
I mean, sure, he’s PotUS but if the PotUS does/says something stupid he should be called on it just like anyone else.
No, it’s stupid.
Frankly, I find the of Jews and carbon dioxide offensive.
I’m reasonably sure that CO2 cannot be scared, have its livelihood destroyed or be killed. Also, the appointment in question is about as appropriate as making me Emperor of Japan.
Wow came in here to say WT ever living F?
Glad to see it’s not precisely what I thought based on the thread title.
Now, WT the ever living F?
Can someone actually be that stupid? And a supposedly educated person at that, would equate the holocaust to a frikkin gas?
Can Trump have found someone even dumber than he is?
I am pleased that you could grace us with your divine presence your majesty.
But both have been sequestered by government regulation. Therefore: exactly the same!
I am tired of the demonization of CN-.
It’s an innocent chemical that’s gotten a bad rap. 
You gotta admit CN- is quite negative, though.
Don’t make me laugh.
Obviously not.
What is similar to what was done with the Jews is what Trump and fox news do to illegal immigrants.
When one commits a crime, they constantly advertise it to justify forcing them, as a class, out of society.
The nazis did that too. Any wrongdoing by any jew anywhere was used to justify oppression and exclusion of the entire group.
How in the everloving F*CK does a diaper-on-the-head kook like this get within a thousand miles of a government policy job? (He’s not the only one, alas!) He should be in a home somewhere.
I’m going to start running around molesting pigeons in central park while wearing a sandwich board reading “bug organ cheese stinkY” and a picture of Tom Brady on it. I should be a cabinet secretary in no time!
I find your views strangely compelling and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
It’s true, it’s not a hoax; stop trying to water down that story! :mad:
He’s president; you know how many millions voted for him? :rolleyes:
Who is more dumb: the dumbass or the dumbasses who follow him?
