Talking with global warming denier

[holiday]

she sent me this article

Global warming controversy reaches NASA climate data
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/dec/03/nasa-embroiled-in-climate-dispute/

and the article is from December and what's making me leery of the info in it is when I did a search only right wing publications/news had this article (Washington Times and Fox News, no other places)

any info would be greatly helpful... I know I know give it up they are going to deny deny deny but I am actually kicking butt in the arguement lol. Don't want to lose my momentum!

6. Consider the source...

This person sent you an article from the Moonie Times. Ask her if she always trusts information printed by religious cults.

8. I kicked Rightard butt for many years, arguing with them

But every time I won in a landslide, they reverted to 'killing the messenger' and 'name-calling'. Never failed.

But keep fighting the good fight! And please report back.

10. I know

I have thought about dumping the whole arguing and just concentrating on political humor lol

12. In a country where Obama is successfuly painted as a socialist

humor is about all I have. I watch MSNBC in the evening for news and listen to the former Air America channel on the radio, everything else is comedy and humor for me.

13. 70 million metric tonnes every 24 hours...

that's human sourced carbon. 7 days = 490 million tonnes. 30 days = 2 billion 100 million metric tonnes added to carbon total. How much is enuff? Ask the denier. A trillion tonnes? 10 trillion? 100 trillion? It's THEY who say it's ok, so they must answer question: how much is too much? I say it's what we already injected into earth's 12 mile thick atmosphere. And when 3rd world economies take off, with growing 1st world ike demands for energy, then the limits can be showed TO them, and they must then continue living like 3rd world peasants and do w/out, ok...please - please!
PEASE! please! please! please!
Eventually the poor will give up and agree to saving the planet, if we keep on begging them too, but GW deniers are the ones who must do the begging...since I aint gonna!
