    You're funny.

    You mean a few emails refute hundreds of thousands of peer reviewed papers written by tens of thousands of scientists?

    Get real.

    Re: Climategate: it's all unravelling now

    On what grounds to you call the massive collection of rigorous science "whackjobs" and "liars." Just because you don't like the answer the scientific community is giving you shouldn't make you call them names. Do you call the pharmaceutal and medical industry whackjobs and liars? How about the guys who run the water treatment plant in your town?

    My point: you can't morally accept the science that makes your life easier and ridicule the science that asks you to make hard choices about your life.

    80%

    Reducing emissions by 1% a year in the next 50 years can prevent the climate from going over the very scary and very real +3C threshold.

    Some, but they are minor. And they are basically insigificant when compared to climate warming induced releases of additional gasses (methane, the worst of all GHGs) from arctic peat, tropical forest, and seafloor methane (which can spectacularly set off fireballs across the sky...sign me up for that apocalypse, thank you). Basically, at +3C it's goodbye Holocene, hello hellish future on earth.

    Re: Climategate: it's all unravelling now

    Right wingers once again are proving that they should stay away from discussions pertaining to scientific process. Just like they should stay away from the economy and away from new media.

    Idiots. They should STFU.

    Reality has a liberal bias.

    Shouldn't we close this particular thread now? It's premise has been categorically disproven.

    I must admit that I haven't, but I plan to. Perhaps there is a clue in there as to why he had Logan Pause, John Thorrington and Brandon Prideaux taking penalty kicks in the shootout. :D

    This reminds me a bit of the Bush/Rather affair. Once the docs were exposed as fakes, that meant that Bush was a decorated fighter pilot with an immaculate attendance record in the air guard to some.

    It's the politics of the small. Find an evil bogey man to attack and all related arguments are justified or verified.

    This Gate crap is driving me nuts. superdave ate a mustard based sauce in CarolinaQGate. Pathegon drove a Ford in DetroitCarGate. puttputtfc drank vodka in BourbonGate. (I was young I needed the money.) Chris M ordered a hamburger from Flash Taco in BucktownGate.

    Anytime something is named X-Gate I immediately tune it out. If the world burns up tomorrow that's fine as long a scandal ends in something other than gate.

    If there's ever a scandal involving the Golden Gate bridge, there will be a lot of too-cute-by-half headlines tormenting you.

    In related news:

    Child star Kirk Cameron has exposed the ugly truth the Hitler really dug Charles Darwin, thus exposing evolutionary theory to be total hooey. Evolution-gate: It's all unraveling now.

    Thierry Henry's handball against Ireland has revealed that he's actually a completely crap footballer who couldn't trap a dead rat with a net. Henry-gate: It's all unraveling now.

    There was small area of discoloration and dryness located on Sofia Vergara's right shoulder blade, thus exposing that she is a hideous fat cow. Babe-gate: It's all unraveling now.

    I'm hoping that Microsoft has a big scandal so we can talk about Bill Gates-gate.

    Or he could just buy the whole Bay Area and name it after himself, allowing the bridge becomes the Gatesgate bridge. Then, after the scandal emerges over misuse of public funds to finance the purchase, the media names it "Gatesgategate."

    If you are going to bring BBQ into this, you might as well go with the best.

    Re: Climategate: it's all unravelling now

    This post makes me giggle.

    BTW, you realize that part of the reason the description of the phenomenon changed from "global warming" to "climate change" in the media (which is still technically incomplete) is because knuckleheads like you don't understand what "average" means, right? And that the only folks making the "subtle implication" are deniers. I mean, which kind of moron would a climate scientist have to be to "imply" that climate does not naturally vary, when it's patently obvious that it does, in fact, change on it's own? Or are you trying to say that climate scientists don't believe in ice ages?

    It's just more evidence that a middle school class in general science does not prepare someone for understanding real scientific research.

    You are opening up a can of worms my friend. When people start using the word best to describe BBQ, fights happen.
