And that's it right there. Follow the money. Wonder if the Fed started giving out $23 BILLION to prove climate change was not man made how those conclusions would change?

Ah... Research dollars are given out every year, NOT to PROVE anything, but to conduct research wherever the science leads it and research on climate change has been going on for decades through both Republican and Democratic administrations. If you are looking up who pays for what, look up who is paying for climate change denial.

Have you looked at some of these grants? It's hilarious in many cases. They've already advertised the conclusion in the grant proposal. Seriously, check out grant.gov. So many of these RFPs are asking for a specific conclusion. How much you want to bet those scientists will find the same conclusion?

Still can't take the quiz, eh?

I love how all of the arguments that climate change deniers are making on this thread are politically focused, as if this were some sort of ideological dispute. Given that you all would fail a high school physics exam, you want to do anything but actually take the quiz.

Why should I? I don't disagree that climate's change. You said the quiz was to address those who deny that climate's change.

You'll note that not a single person has spoke up to note that they disagree that climate's change despite the accusations to the counter.

We have a grand wealth of information on the history of the world and the different climates different areas have undergone over the centuries. I agree that I see nothing political in that.

since the word "denier" is meant to suggest people who dont agree with you are akin to holocost denier, I want to know why you are a bigot?

So, which group do YOU fall into?
There are people on this board who believe Aliens are working with the govt; Sandy Hook was an Obama plot; and the earth is 5,000 years old


anyone ever told you that you shouldn't argue with fools

(though it is fun)

Citation is not required on issues of common knowledge. That is, unless we have gotten to the point where people don't even know what that is? It is possible, many pseudo science classes these days either redefine it to mean consensus or ignore it entirely.

I say this because most of you guys would horribly fail a high school honors physics test, and wouldn't even try to address any scientific question...unless if that question has political implications, in which case you suddenly, magically become experts on the matter. Suspicious?

Let me know how well you do.
Man made global warming is one of the biggest farces in the world today.
