you are fighting those who say it exists.

and you are attempting to suggest we're all doomers, but when pressed on it, you back off because you basically can't prove that any of us are doomers.

i'll tell you what, if you are going to exaggerate and do a chicken little about how the "doomers" problem is worse than it is...

just be quiet about climate change exaggeration. you don't get to say you care about exaggeration when you're engaging in it yourself.

Now this is a load of crap, CD, and you know it.
I dare you to find ONE recent comment of mine that implies that I don't believe that AGW exists.....but then again, you've never been able to.

And as for this problem, I'll have you know that the Yale Climate Media Forum, of all organizations, has pointed out the facts of the matter:

If that's not a good enough source for you, I don't know what is.

what percentage of climate change believers here are what you would term "doomers" CreekDog Mar 2013 #4

Probably no more than 10-15%, I'd wager. AverageJoe90 Mar 2013 #7

10-15%? so you're basically saying this is an issue with very few posters CreekDog Mar 2013 #8

It's because of the effects it's had on fighting the issue of Climate Change. AverageJoe90 Mar 2013 #9
