That's a face even his mother could punch... What a despicable awful philistine... I want scum like this to sign a form stating if they are wrong to REJECT SCIENCE then the displaced in places like Africa (the latest conference on fighting global warming basically said all of Africa - 924 MILLION people can go fuck - either move or die) can come and live with him and if there are food shortages then he and his family elect to die first - lets test their commitment to free thinking then eh?

The best way to forge headlong into tragedy is to give the decisions to people who are woefully misinformed by the people who are most inconvenienced and ignore the people who have spent their lives working on the problem.

The space shuttle Challenger disaster comes to mind.

The greenhouse effect is liberal, just like gravity.

@clairemil19 You should see the piles of birds that are heaped at the base of windmills. Over half of the maintenance that the windmills require are from bird strikes. it is really bad in the spring and fall during bird migrations.

Oh btw bird man above, I could debunk everything you just said...sadly..yea. But I'll strangely just add something about the birds. 672 million birds are directly exposed to pesticides on farms alone + over 10% die. This modest estimate, only takes into account birds inhabiting farms, and only ones killed outright by ingestion of them....(continued below sorry this comment made me pretty confounded and pissed, so I'm responding, I suppose...oh towntom)

The full extent of bird deaths is extremely hard to know, bcuz most go undetected. Also there's a difference btwn the ultimate eradication of most, some or all living things; and healthy flourishing of humans, trees, or animals. Which is clearly not the case for the world's birds right now, due to my reasons. + the measuring stick you're using seems, to be all the worlds birds must go extinct before I notice...that's really sad, and by gosh look up any the topics for you arguments, please.

I'm sorry, I'm being so annoying about the comments, but I'm scared and disturbed at how uninformed many people are about this stuff. I really don't have any issue w/ true GW skeptics, which aren't the same as these scientists hes citing, or people who think its just some scam. True skeptics raise specific doubts about specific claims + do not try to debunk a whole area of science by an occasional error, or by the general lack of absolute certainty. Which is unattainable in any area of science.

According to a January 2007 report by the Union of Concerned Scientists " Michaels is connected to no less than 11 conservative think tanks and associations that have received money from oil-companies like ExxonMobil to sow doubt about the realities of human caused GW.

Michaels is widely known as 1 of the most active G.W. deniers. Michaels is a professor at the U. of Virginia and according to a search of 22,000 academic journals; Michaels has published 50+ original research papers in peer-reviewed journals, mainly about climate.

...In 2006 ABC News/ uncovered a leaked memo written by the Intermountain Rural Electrical Association. In the memo it states, New Hope Environmental Services received $100,000 from the IREA and "other electrical cooperatives"... Recently, Gov. Tim Kaine of VA, asked him to be clear, that hes not speaking for the state when discussing issues such as G.W.
