NickyToorI am educated about this. My dad's job deals directly with this
BombogenesisOk, so you should know that the warming of the earth overall between 2000-2013 was basically nil. Glad were on the same page when it comes to irrefutable facts, as I was an atmospheric science minor. Nice!
VinnieFhallelujah! we're saved! if you think 13 years of negligible temperature change means climate change has stopped then you probably didn't show up for half the classes of your minor.

BombogenesisIf you think that's the conclusion I came to you probably didn't show up to English class. Congrats.

DobberOk, you guys can keep bitching while I have fun and ski everyday. I'm selfish and I don't care.

NickyToorI suppose technically you're right. However, a 13 year long hiatus doesn't mean climate change has ended.other parts of climate change have continued nonstop, such as seas level rises and melting of the ice caps. During this time there have also been multiple records set for extreme surface temperatures. National Academy of Sciences has reported that there has been no pause in climate change. Pretty sure they know more than you and your minor. Also, if you look back over the decades, there have been several little "pauses" before, so it's no evidence for climate change being halted. This pause is very misleading and in no way means climate change isn't still happening at full force. Nice!
Lord_ByronThat is the burden we have to carry as informed Americans.
And frenchy. He is also a burden, but even worse because he (and his equally ill informed peers) are an active weight, he is an anchor on societal progress.
DobberFucking grow a pair you sack of shit. You sound like a 70 year old woman. All you do is bitch about political this and political that. You honestly sound like the most boring human being alive. How many lame bumper stickers do you have on your prius?

milk_manLol keep in mind how long humans have actually been recording the weather.
zzzskizzzWhat does humans recording the weather have anything to do with what we are talking about?
milk_manMy point is that "record highs" don't mean much

milk_manDid you know that isn't perfectly accurate?
UglyboyIf you exclude the scientists being paid off by big oil companies. All scientists are in conclusion global warming exists. Why are you punching a brick wall?
milk_manDid you know that isn't perfectly accurate?
zzzskizzzReally, according to who? Because it's actually extraordinarily accurate.

VinnieFit's OK, I wouldn't expect him to be tough about the accuracy of 18-O measurements in grade school

BombogenesisYou're literally saying the same thing as me but the issue is you don't even realize it. It's weird.
All I was saying was if you're going to attack Cruz's statement, make sure it's actually factually inaccurate and you're talking out your ass. There are probably 1000 things he has said that are false yet people attacked something that has irrefutable truth behind it.
Do I think he's still a moron for being an all out denier? Yeah. Do I think he's a moron for saying the earths temperature has remained static for 15 years? Maybe his insinuation... Sure. But not the statement itself man. It's an accurate fact, like saying the earth is round. It'd backed up and accepted as truth by nearly everyone. Idk what more you can really say..:
NickyToorfor a few hundred years. thats plenty of time for "record highs" to mean a lot
NickyToorits more accurate than the bible.
NickyToori get your point, but he's using that fact as a reason for his denial.
milk_manIf you believe the world is billions of years old, 100 years is literally nothing.
however, with modern science, we can look back hundreds of millions of years and we find that the pace at which the earth is heating up is not natural and is definitely man made.
lol
modern science uses actually proof and hard evidence. the bible is a 2000 year old book of stories written by a bunch of sheep herders, of which very few are true. Are you actually trying to say that some magical creature in the sky creating the world in six days and making the first human out of dirt is more accurate than modern science?

milk_man^^Not sure how the discussion became about this..
It's not an either or situation. I don't understand why everyone makes it seem like it is. If you believe the Bible it doesn't mean you have to completely put down science, and if you have faith in science you don't have to sweep the Bible under the rug completely

.frenchyNo.... I'm saying fuck the millions of illegal mexican immigrants that Obama wants to give amnesty to... You knew what I meant.
fuk u m8
Lord_Byronguns should be illegal.
cobra_commanderHey, look, its that time that comes around every-so-often when fuckheads on both sides threaten to leave the country, and somehow forget on their promise to leave if: Bush/Gore/Bush/Kerry/Obama/Macain/Obama/Romney/whosnext get fucking elected.
DingoSeanI mean, if it happens, it's as good a time as any for me to become an Ex-pat. Already have abroad plans in 2016 anyway.
cobra_commanderGood Bourbon is harder to come by outside our borders. I plan on drinking it long after Senator Cruz has departed American politics.
DingoSeanSee I'm not such a fan of Bourbon... I'm more for making stirred dry martinis with lemon twists, or drinking scotch on the rocks. Both of which are amply found outside of 'murica. I would miss the absolute superior beer selection that the USA has to offer, however...
The rest of the world has absolutely nothing on the American craft brew explosion of the last decade or two.
DingoSeanI fully disagree. And I'm liberal as shit.
If you live in the middle of bumfuck egypt Idaho, and you're not as badass as Ron Swanson, and you dont want to be attacked by bears or wolves or other murderous wildlife, then fuck yes, guns for sure.
But if you live in Flushing Queens or LoDo Denver or South LA or Central Miami, you don't exactly need a fucking AR15 in your apartment, buddy.

That said, I think the happy medium is to be a badass and use a bow and arrow instead of a gun. Guns are for wimps who can't handle drawing a bow, or figuring out how to throw knives and use hidden blade attacks like an assassin or even how to load a crossbow.
Besides, everyone expects you to be defending your house with a gun. NOBODY expects you to use the Home Alone approach. Get creative. Guns are weak.
Lord_Byrondude imagine crossbow drivebys. So silent, can't trace the arrow, its genius.
UglyboyI just want to know what a thug would say when doing a drive by cross bow. "we're gonna to over there and bust a few bows in his ass"
Lord_Byronrap video's will feature thugin g's reppin their latest spray painted and modded out longbow.
DingoSeanI don't know how you can be such an outspokenly bigoted idiot. You must have no friends outside of the gun range and church.

.frenchyI probably have more friends than you though.... That's just a dumb thing to say, but I don't expect much coming from you, to be honest.
