[...] Denying climate change. Republican National Chair Michael Steele arguing that, in fact, our earth is cooling, not warming. Representative Joe Barton (R-TX) truly believing that he outsmarted Energy [...]

Wayne,

Two things strike me about your comment:

1) No, he is not a meteorologist, thanks for making my point for me. But what gives him the right to rewrite hundreds of years of history to fit his thesis? Do you agree with his analysis of how Greenland and Iceland got their names?

2) You want me to go to the Heartland Institute for objective science?

Why are we arguing about what Michael Steele said? He is not a meteorologist. I suggest that interested parties go to the Heartland.org site if you want to see what some of the world's experts think about the issue of global warming. Incidentally, there has not been an increase in the world temperature since 1995. So much for the idea that we are continuing to get warmer!

"Several hours of research on a scientifically-based website" – well okay then, thanks for clearing it all up for us by spending "hours" on one website that is, um, "scientifically-based." Of course it is completely lost on Lill Eph how ludicrous that statement is, as well as the conclusion. Please share with us the url, won't you? We'd all like a piece of that research.

In regard to Steele, well, I second Tim's call-out. People will believe what they want, and given the comments here, most don't have the mitts to face the truth (or, apparently, the smarts to understand it in any case). But Steele is indeed talking out of his ass, and I applaud Tim and anyone else for calling him on it.

Silly little graph? No, it's not supposed to be convincing evidence. My job here is not as a climate scientist, there are plenty of quality portals where you can get lots of silly little graphs.

My job is to point out the blatant talking out of his ass Steele did when hosting that show. Basically just making stuff up as he wished, knowing that no one would call him out on it.

Well I'm calling him out on it.

Mr. Steele, perhaps you could explain to all of us about the real etymological history of Greenland and Iceland. And perhaps you can enlighten us with your meteorological and climatological wisdom, since you seem to know so much more than the vast majority of the scientific community.

I'm certain our audience would love to hear more.

Is that silly little graph supposed to be convincing evidence?

What is more arrogant, to say humans cause climate change, or to say humans can do something about it?

Lill Eph, you write:

"It took me no more than several hours of research on scientifically-based websites to find out that this particular Big Lie, among other Big Lies, are being perpetrated to promote the Kyoto Treaty"

So you're saying global warming was invented to promote the Kyoto Treaty? Isn't that putting the chicken before the egg? or vice versa?

The unrelenting brainwashing regarding the global warming myth could be taken smack out of Animal Farm or Orwell's 1984. It took me no more than several hours of research on scientifically-based websites to find out that this particular Big Lie, among other Big Lies, are being perpetrated to promote the Kyoto Treaty, a preposterous piece of government intrusion, land grabbing, and politcally correct harassment straight from the One World Newspeak mindset. From my days as a war protestor in the sixties until now… well, it seems little has changed. The government still lies with gusto and, God help me, it seems that a Republican is right in more ways than one. I forgive you for your ignorance.

FINALLY Steele is toeing the party line!

It's about time he learned his place!

And this guy believes he's going to heaven and everyone who disagrees with him's going to hell, right?
