    The government makes more than 60 cents a gallon(avg), in taxes, state and federal combined, thats way way more than exxon makes in profit, way more. If your state isnt trying to raise the gas tax now, they soon will be.... theyll claim its for the roads, but that too is a lie....

    Are you really citing an ExxonMobil blog? They're the third largest company in the world, you don't think they have an incentive to oppose costly regulations through mass misinformation (which has been documented numerous times)?

    Wouldn't surprise me if those guys talking about how the deep oceans may be getting warmer might have neglected to mention that they were taking measurements near an underwater volcano.

    The US has the largest government in the world and they make more money off you buying gas than exxon does. Its a fact.

    And then you gotta pay sales tax on the tax......

    Yup...from every begining an end is coming.

    I like the "what if you are wrong" approach.

    Makes me wonder if I was wrong to delete that email I received from Nigeria!

    :no:

    There is enough doubt and uncertainty to tell the environmentalist wackos at EPA and in the white house to stop wrecking the economy and driving up the cost of energy.

    West Antarctic is on the Pacific Rim of Fire. It is losing ice while East Antarctica is gaining ice. In fact the Antarctic is gaining ice faster than the Arctic is losing it.

    Global Climate Change Ain't the Only Thing Causing This to Melt

    [​IMG]

    Oh my goodness. Does this mean that Mankind just might not be responsible for this? Oh horrors!

    Thwaites Glacier, the large, rapidly changing outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is not only being eroded by the ocean, it's being melted from below by geothermal heat, researchers at the Institute for Geophysics at The University of Texas at Austin (UTIG) report in the current edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    For those who are going to attack the message due to the messenger, please explain why. Read the story @ http://en.mercopress.com/2014/06/12...ntent=main&utm_campaign=rss&utm_reader=feedly

    There is no doubt in the scientific community.


    Glad we cleared that up.

    Uh no, it's not BS. That is a direct quote from the lead author of the paper you cited in your OP.

    Good, well when scientists make it a scientific law instead of an unproven theory, get back to me on raising taxes that will actually have an impact on the issue.

    It sure seems like hes changed his mind on the issue and proving once again that global warming is a theory and not a scientific law.

    Once its proven, and made into a scientific law backed by indisputable truth and scientific experiments, like gravity, then Ill consider raising everyones taxes and utility bills. Until then, youre typing tripe.

    Right now, if you want to get a paper published, you have to bow to the PC CAGW crowd or get rejected.

    Hahaha what the (*)(*)(*)(*). Have you ever tried to get a paper published? I'm guessing you haven't the slightest idea how it works

    He didn't change his mind about anything. You purposefully misinterpreted his paper.

    I don't think you know what a scientific law even is.

    I'm aware that there is a fringe group of lunatics that will believe literally anything but the scientifically proven reality.

    Oh, there's that word again. Proof. You have no proof. And until you show the proof, you have nothing to argue with. Bye!
