Global warming skeptics aren't only a minority...they are on the fringe..

[Webster Green]

Heard that on an Air America show today.

Those stupid college repukes with their idiotic sno-cone sales and beach parties are completely out to lunch.

Why are they in college anyway? Their feeble little minds are closed to new information. All they do is repeat crap that they heard their ignorant parents say.

1. Why they're in college

1 - Because Daddy insists, Daddy's paying, and Daddy just bought them a new $40,000 truck

2 - To join a fraternity

3 - To bang chicks and do keg stands (see #2)

4 - To get that business degree so they can walk into a position at a firm of one of Daddy's friends (see #2)

[Webster Green]

3. You are correct, of course...

That was a silly question:P

[Swamp Rat]

4. 5. To escape military service during a time of war.

Buncha chicken shits!

2. I posted these elsewhere, but they are germane and urgent

don't be mislead. The science is in.
The earth is round.
Cigarettes cause cancer.
Man-made CO2 release is causing
global warming.

Last week, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and 10 other leading world bodies expressed the consensus view that "there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring" and that "It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities". And just last week, USA Today editorialized that "not only is the science in, it is also overwhelming".

Indeed, it is precisely because the climate crisis is so profound that we need to encourage the American debate on the subject to move on, finally and for good, and start to focusing on how to build a bright green future as quickly as possible. The science, after all, is pretty unequivocal at this point. Indeed, essentially the last remaining credible skeptic, Scientific American columnist Michael Shermer announced this month that, despite his dislike for environmental groups

"Data trump politics, and a convergence of evidence from numerous sources has led me to make a cognitive switch on the subject of anthropogenic climate change. ... Because of the complexity of the problem, environmental skepticism was once tenable. No longer. It is time to flip from skepticism to activism."

5. Here's a good link from the WorldChanging article:

How to talk to Global Warming skeptics

The author addresses common objections, point by point.

6. Except for one or two of them, yes, and the one that springs to mind

does not advocate any of the repuke crap. (A stats guy, though I can't remember the name, said that, well, to cut a long story short, we don't have the required t-values to claim with good certainty, amongst other things. Although, IIRC, he immediately invoked the old 'better safe than sorry' thingy.)

But yes, those without concern are without knowledge.
