    Still unclear. Do you realize the importance now because you are disappointed with Obama, and think Romney would have been better? Or do you realize it now because you think Gore would have been worse than Bush?

    I find it funny when people think that I am a republican because I don't agree with their policies.

    Dear Gawd.

    You mean if you were offered a 'mulligan' you wouldn't do it?

    Train wreck? Possibly. Debatable. But a train wreck would have been infinitely greater than the nuclear meltdown Bush et al served up.

    I was just asking which it was. Your post was completely without merit, it was an incomplete thought. Either you didn't finish your thought or you posted with the intention of being cryptic, either way it was as a sentence with a subject and verb but without an object. I think either line of thought is a bit too speculative to bother with, and incidentally, if I did speculate I would think you are wrong.
    And
    Since you mention it, people on here (not just me) think of you as conservative because you continually take the fox news position of every topic. I understand you aren't a dumbass fox watcher, but coming to the same conclusions via different sources and your own thought process doesn't change your alignment.

    To boot, if you are going to make nonpolitical issues (carbon dioxide is about science, not politics) into partisan political issues, it is going to open the door to partisan accusations.

    It is not your affiliation that brings these accusations on you, it is your mouth and the things that come out of it.

    For sure. We really do need a "separation of science and state" view point if we really want to understand climate change/global warming.

    As far as arctic sea ice- don't look at a single fluctuation. If you want to find some way to feel good about global warming and believe it's not happening, you can go on the internet and find articles that will give you the satisfaction of believing it is a myth. We all would like to believe that. I truly wish it were a myth.

    Again, I highly recommend reading realclimate.org. They do not have a political agenda. The articles are written by climate scientists. Also note that most of the people who write in responses are also climate scientists, not people with limited a understanding of the topic.

    Separation of science and state.
    Awesome, IFL that! Or do I hate it? lol I would hate for science to not inform politics at all, we would be back to flammable rivers and mass poisonings in a few decades at the most.

    As much as it would have been very entertaining to see "Manbearpig" holding the supreme office and all the hilarity that would have brought to the 2000's.No I would not take the Mulligan.I find my fiscally conservative leanings would still have me supporting W.That being said,I did not subscribe to a lot of his social policies,but as a Buisness owner I Usually lean right.I also think even though W screwed up a lot of foreign policy ,I don't disagree with all of it and I think Gore would have been way to soft when we needed a stronger administration.

    My point was clear. I'm not writing a 1000 word response to suit your needs.

    Gambs,
    As card carrying Liberal arent you guys supposed to be tolerant of everyone and everything?Isnt a differing view on an issue a refreshing change? I want both sides of all issues.Those who deny the Global warming argument have as many reasons and studies to back their point of view as those who are foaming at the mouth and screaming the sky is falling.Both sides shape the issue to suit there needs.
    Its hard to deny change is taking place on this planet,but has it not always been that way?

    Fans of Saturday Night Live dodged a bullet in the fact that Bush won. I don't know if the nation could have withstood 8 years of Darrell Hammond as Al Gore vs Will Ferrell as "W".

    Hit the ignore button, it's better that way. I wouldn't want to confuse you.

    Ah ha! Thank you rr. This is exactly why I posted the article at the beginning of this thread:

    http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/236982/on-arguing-by-analogy#latest

    It basic talks about how to look at and talk about science issues through scientific viewpoints.

    I never got my card in the mail ;) Why does being liberal require me to tolerate everything? I have no tolerance for science denial, racism, sexism, or violence. Liberals are allowed to have balls too! Science denial leads to things like leaded gasoline, atrazine crops, and carcinogens in food, among a host of other direct threats including the threat to the scientific method itself. Also, I can't let it slide that you think "those why deny global warming have as many reasons and studies to back their point of view..." this has been disproved over and over again. 0.17% is the percentage of PEER-REVIEWED (the gold standard, and backbone of scientific progress) studies refuting man-made global warming. Other studies have all found that less than 1% of real scientific literature attempts to deny.

    Atrazine is still in use. Glyphosate(roundup) is no better. I'm not sure what your point is, but you seem to be making mine for me. Scientific research is clear that neither is healthy, it is only political influence that keeps them in our food supply.
