    Yes and it is laid out in the 2014 IPCC report on Mitigation of climate change

    "Much of the Left" has spent way too much time in college taking bullshit, lower-level 'survey courses' that they needed to include for the requisite number of hours involved in getting their bullshit 'liberal arts' degrees.

    Although I was a 'sciences' major back at the Univ. of Texas at Austin, I had to take a few courses like that myself, and they are a perfect place to glean a little bit of knowledge about a topic -- taught, at that level, usually by some liberal professor (or his or her lab assistant/T.A.) who needed something to do while preparing to 'publish' even more bullshit for the other professors to 'ooh' and 'aah' over.

    Knew you would not even consider looking at the pretty pictures let alone read the text

    Shame

    You might have seen the actual truth of what the scientists are suggesting rather than getting second hand information from the likes of Rush

    So, now you are saying your police arrested all these people for setting fires without charging them?
    That's a very fire friendly approach - isn't it.

    "This fire season, police have taken legal action – ranging from cautions to ***charges*** –against almost 200 people in New South Wales alone. That includes 24 people charged with deliberately lighting bushfires..."

    Western liberal arts faculties swallowed a too much Heidegger. No one should ever take them seriously, but many of their students do.

    "The heart of that controversy was Wolin's
    accusation that Derrida had tailored his
    ''far-fetched and illogical'' opinions about
    Heidegger's Nazism to dodge an important question:

    by embracing the legendary German thinker's
    philosophy, had Derrida and other radical
    postmodern leftists accepted the core of
    Heidegger's dubious politics as well?"

    "Herbert Marcuse, denounced by
    the pope in the late 1960's, became a
    philosophical guru for the New Left. Hans Jonas
    matured into a pioneering theorist of
    environmentalism, serving as a touchstone for the
    German Green Party. And Karl Lowith became a
    distinguished scholar of modern historical
    consciousness."

    Some of my post was sarcasm but it’s all based on fact. Do you dispute the CO2 levels? You posted a link about combustion of hay. Was it factual in your link but lies when I discuss it? Do you dispute with me the methods and challenges of harvesting hay correctly?

    Points to you for cleverness in administration of ad hominem. Well done. :)

    The fact remains you are unable to address the substance of my posts to another member.

    The weight of evidence suggests warming is a factor.

    Because most, I believe, would be horrified at the thought someone would set fires as a PR strategy.
    And this translates into setting fires? Really?

    If setting fires is a winning strategy in the minds of climate change activists, why haven't more fires been set?

    Many fires have been set. Surely you know that.

    Fifty people setting fires with purpose in this country could do a lot more damage than we have from fires now.

    Roads in Tibet ?? Why only roads ?? What happens to asphalt when the sun shines in their long summer days ??? Why is the Alaska pipeline elevated on stilts ???

    Why no photos of permafrost melting in the forests ??!

    Permafrost has been melting and freezing for thousands of years. Think it through.

    Self explanatory. There is no proof that the current warming which began in the 1800’s is the result of human CO2 emissions.

    Yeh, supposedly recently melted permafrost with mature trees in the same photos.

    What on earth are you carrying on about? I showed you pictures of roads buckling over top of melting permafrost. If you want pictures of Tibet (why?), the Alaska pipeline, or roads on hot days, get them for yourself.

    This thread reminds me of the threads when there is an artic blast and people post "what happened to global warming"

    Leave copies of your messages so future generations in your family can see the role you played in slowing efforts to slow or stop global warming.
