Comments on: Facts? We Don’t Need Facts - We Have Consensus http://capnbob.us/blog/2008/02/06/facts-we-dont-need-facts-we-have-consensus/ Our Unique Perspectives on Life and Politics Thu, 17 May 2012 00:34:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Cap'n Bob http://capnbob.us/blog/2008/02/06/facts-we-dont-need-facts-we-have-consensus/#comment-26350 Cap'n Bob Thu, 07 Feb 2008 02:41:04 +0000 http://capnbob.us/blog/2008/02/06/facts-we-dont-need-facts-we-have-consensus/#comment-26350 The keyword is 'believe.' For us non-believers, we get the tag 'global warming deniers' much the same as non-believers of Islam are 'infidels.' The 'Religion of Green' is just as intolerant of non-believers as the so-called 'Religion of Peace.' The Greens have committed no beheadings yet, other than in the political sense. Quoting John Kerry: <blockquote>[I] don't want to sort of leap into the larger meaning of, you know, inappropriately, but on the other hand, the weather service has told us we are going to have more and more intense storms," Kerry said. "And insurance companies are beginning to look at this issue and understand this is related to the intensity of storms that is related to the warming of the earth. And so it goes to global warming and larger issues that we're not paying attention to. The fact is the hurricanes are more intensive, the storms are more intensive and the rainfall is more intense at certain places at certain times and the weather patterns have changed.</blockquote> What a slime - turns a tragedy into a political gaffe with this totally nonsensical and non-sequitur garbage. The keyword is ‘believe.’ For us non-believers, we get the tag ‘global warming deniers’ much the same as non-believers of Islam are ‘infidels.’

The ‘Religion of Green’ is just as intolerant of non-believers as the so-called ‘Religion of Peace.’

As they like to say, "the debate is ohvah"! The haughty senator from Massachusetts, John Kerry, who served in Viet Nam, blamed the rash of intense storms on <a href="http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2008/20080206170159.aspx" rel="nofollow">Global Warming </a>! Of course, no one would doubt Senator Kerry's scientific credentials. Now we more Presidential candidates talking about GW on the campaign trail. It's scary because no one seems to listen to science facts anymore, science fiction yes. I was asked if I believed in such a thing greenhouse gases since I didn't believe in GW. I replied, "Yes". Without greenhouse gases, this world would be uninhabitable. Boy did I get some dirty looks. You cannot have a ‘consensus’ in science either. As they like to say, “the debate is ohvah”!
