I agree, wtf does Lomborg being gay have to do with anything relating to the Climate Change discussion?

> He talks money when he should be talking enviroment. THAT is my problem with him.

Hmm. Okay. Great. Now go ahead and solve all the environmental problems, but without it costing an single cent, dime or öre.

I don't care if Lomborg is gay. He's an awesome intelligent and insightful dude, and he changed the way I looked at global warming as a priority in world problems and how it should be dealt with.

WHAT COOLING? LOL!!!

March was the HOTTEST March in the UAH 32 year satellite record.

UAH (Univ. of Alabama, Huntsville) is run by Dr. Christy, the well known AGW denier.

Global temperatures for February = 2nd WARMEST February in 32 years.

Global Temperatures for JANUARY = the HOTTEST January for UAH in 32 years.

If a person is gay or likes pizza or enjoys television soap operas is completely and utterly irrelevant to the arguments they pu tforth.

[anorak2]

"Left wing" or "right wing" are meaningless labels, and it's completely irrelevant how "left wingers" or "right wingers" comment on whatever issue. You can just as well ignore it. What counts are ontly the arguments themselves.

[anorak2]

There is no catastrophe like that on the hand.

[nordicpatriot]

Yeah, he said he's gay in an interview...

[nakiflo]
