    Every time another story comes out against the whole idea of global warming, the global warming crowd jumps on it like it's an insidiious disease that has to be stamped out before it can spread.

    Reminds me a bit of the thought-control policies of Hitler's Third Reich.

    There are scientists and then there are scientists. A biologist isn't necessarily going to be an expert on quantum physics.

    Huh? MDs are about as far from being scientists as scientists are from being MDs.

    That's ridiculous. I'm sorry but the third reich murdered millions of people. There is no comparison.

    the comparison wasn't to the third reich, but to the third reich thought control policies.

    not that i agree with the comparison, but it makes a difference.

    Heh. Do you know what the Scientific Method is? I imagine you do, so apply it to the CO2/Warming hypothesis in a lab and get back to me. :lol:

    I agree on point one. I would still argue that MDs are scientists, and would just lump it into the "this isn't your field of study so please stfu" group

    I think the point was that I understand that my car needs gas to run, but that doesn't make me a mechanic. To oversimply the problem without a background in the field is incorrect. BUT i'm probably wrong on what his point was...

    I do, and so I know your comment doesn't make much sense. There are lots of things than can't be done 'in a lab'.

    That's reasonable, I guess.

    Not at all. If you actually read the link you provided, you'll see that he was saying that the threat from global warming was similar to the threat from the nazis, not that people who don't accept his premise are nazis.

    That's not correct, not even approximately. Unless perhaps you are thinking of 7th grade science class.

    Fearmongering, and ridiculous, as he floats on the oceans in his gigantic yacht.

    Global warming is going to profile people according to their religion?

    Grasping at straws, and President Failure doesn't have the punch anymore to pass his climate bill.

    No, I'm thinking of the actual Scientific Method, in which replicable results are produced in a controlled setting, and hypotheses become theories, which then become laws.

    :lol:

    I agree, Al Gore comparing fighting global warming to fighting Nazis is a total non sequitur. It's beyond belief, actually.
