Oh my god, climate change can’t be a problem because some idiots worked at ABC and tried to grab some ratings.
Climate change is climate change, it’s going to do what it’s going to do. But this is a perfect example of people using alarmism to gain profit, which is what the whole agenda is at it’s root.
So, do you think it was hotter or colder during the Middle Ages?
Doesn’t matter since you weren’t alive. Everyone knows that something isn’t valid unless you personally experienced it.
Not true. And answer the question please.
ferris, I thought I read somewhere that your personal experience means squat? What gives? Are you experiencing hot and cold flashes all of a sudden?
😉
I think personal experience only matters if it conforms to a certain ideology.

So you do think it was warmer?

My god, climate change deniers are amazing.
I don’t deny that climate changes, just this morning it was cold outside now it’s not.
I suppose he’s hearkening to the “Earth has gone through several heating and cooling periods through the eons, so what we’re experiencing now is nothing new or unnatural” argument against AGW.
Well ok but if it’s unrecorded history he has no way of knowing that.
Exactly, and there’s way more of it than recorded history.
Ok, so it doesn’t worry you in the slightest that this was the hottest year in recorded history, or that the 16 warmest years since 1880 have all occurred in the 2000s except one (which was 1998), because there might have been one year before recorded history that was hotter. Maybe.
Ok.
Nope, it doesn’t bother me one bit. Furthermore, I absolutely doubt that we can either change or affect it whatsoever. Besides, a warmer earth even by a degree is better for us, it allows more crops to flourish among many other things.
Plus, shall I again remind you “recorded history” is only the last 140 years? Unless you believe a young earth, then that’s pretty bad science to base an entire theory about the planet based only on .0000000001% of the earths history.
I guess it ties into the “Earth has gone through several heating and cooling periods through the eons, so what we’re experiencing now is nothing new or unnatural” argument against AGW.
Which is an extremely dangerous attitude to have right now. Science says we have a couple years to prevent a tipping point in runaway climate change. The best case scenario is keeping it down to two degrees for the rest of the century (which will still be disastrous). Under Trump we are headed down the path to a six degree rise, which will jeopardize human existence, according to most climate experts.
You mean the same people told us the planet was cooling? Mega Hurricanes were on the way? The ozone layer was disappearing? The oceans would be dead by now? Arctic ice was disappearing? New York would be underwater by now?

Keep in mind that “recorded history” is only like .0000004% of earth’s existence.

NYT is unreliable.
Which one
sigh The one! You know that speech that Obama gave that changed history. You know, that one. You surely remember that day he gave it!?!?? You’d totally remember it if I said just three words of it. Because it was historic.
I’ll give you a tip, he said “I” “my” and “me” in it. Surely you remember it?!!? It was historic!!!
I’m going to be very interested to read these posts again in four years.
I still maintain that Trump will not turn out to be the next Hitler nor will he be the great savior. I think when it’s all said and done he will probably be a “meh” president with liberals upset that he wasn’t the catastrophe they rant and rave about and everyone who believed what he said upset that he failed to live up to 95% of his campaign promises.
I more or less agree with regards to Trump himself… I think he’s a bad person, but I doubt we’ll see anything truly groundbreaking one way or the other from him during his time in office (though we will continue to have at least one ridiculous drama or scandal or controversy per day). I’m more interested about his cabinet picks and the Republican-controlled congress.
The right wing has a chance to prove they know what they’re doing with regards to America, and we’ll see if they truly do (or not) in these coming years. They face very little opposition in congress and from the President as well as eventually the supreme court, so it’ll be interesting to see their agendas at (mostly uncontested) work.
Intersting is not the word I would use.
Fascinating. And where were you on the day that President Obama delivered his timeless historic speech?
In honor of President Barack Obama’s very very last day, and hours as President, please share your memory of his greatest speech. You know the one, that one on par with “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!,” “Four score and seven year ago,” “Ask not what your country can do for you…,” “a date which will live in infamy,” and “I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”
You all know that speech President Obama gave that made us all shiver in patriotism, share your memories of it. You know where you were at when you heard it, just share.
This is the picture.
I don’t get it.

You really really hate that I am a staunch Conservative who votes Republican, don’t you?
I hate that you automatically vote Republican no matter what. I hate that you voted for Trump when you could have voted third party/independent/write-in. You didn’t have to vote for a scum bag.
Well, there’s very little choice in my mind. Third party is simply an exercise in futility at this point in time and the Democrat party rejects just about everything I believe. With that in mind, what choice do I have?
voting third party/independent/write-in is not an exercise in futility.
That’s true, it helped elect Trump.
That is true, I recant my statement that it is an exercise in futility. It is a method of summoning your own defeat.

He was a reality star but his claim to fame comes from his business empire much more than his tenure on Celebrity Apprentice. It’d be like referring to Robin Williams as the star of Patch Adams. It isn’t wrong, but it is leaving out what he’s actually known for and implies that that is all that he was.
my point is no one that has anything to do “reality” tv show, should be anywhere near the Oval Office. It is not a place for clowns.
Bill Clinton was a clown and he made it in, LOL.
Bill Clinton at least had experience in running a state as governor before he became president. Our new president questioned wether or not Obama was even born in the US.
On the other hand, being on a reality show doesn’t automatically mean Trump was unqualified to run for office- it’s the lack of any political experience that should disqualify him.
A lot of people asked the same question, some even asked knowing it didn’t matter. Being that HIS MAMA WAS A U.S. CITIZEN = HE’S A U.S. CITIZEN!!! No matter where he was born!
and of the two of us, which one of us voted for the guy that questioned Obama’s citizenship?
Me. Still better than Hillary to me.
And as far as the lack of “political experience,” I patently reject that the President must be a career politician.
You’d put in a rookie to play QB in the Superbowl.
How much experience did George Washington have? Ulysses S. Grant? Herbert Hoover? Dwight D. Eisenhower?
Lack of experience can be balanced by an abundance of conviction and character, of which Donald Trump has none.
That is a mere opinion that a lot of people would disagree with. Not me necessarily, but a lot of people.
I’m going to be very interested to read these posts again in four years.
I wonder what we’ll think of President Pence then.
I’d personally like that.

You furthered my point. They can all be clowns and, especially in this modern day of 24/7 news and HD quality camera phones, the chances of a President appearing clownish is high no matter who they are.
