Can I bitch-slap Al Gore and the rest of the global warming fuckers?

Coldest temps for the last 10-15 years or more across the entire country. Fucking Texas and Florida are going below freezing...

Really? A few days of cold weather completely disprove man-caused climate change? really?

it disproves nothing, cause there is not prove for man-caused climate change to begin with...

It has never been proven. You know, without falsifying data and all that jazz. There is a ton of people with a ton of PhDs on the other side of those scales.

In all fairness, we do of course contribute since we emit. But the idea of the overwhelming effect of the purely anthropogenic component on the planet's climate is at this point nothing more than an overblown politically driven agenda.

Now, I am not a dogmatic. I have 3 PhDs in my immediate family, science is a big word where I come from. Follow the proper scientific process, with proper review or raw data and the procedures, proper review of the review, remove politics from this stuff -- and if the outcome suggests we are indeed doing the planet in I'll be the first one to do something about it.

You know and I know there no scientific consensus on this, nowhere near. AGW crowd loves to marginalize people who don't subscribe to the AGW idea but that isn't a scientific process is it.

And on a more philosophical note, from where I sit, he whole concept of AGW stems mostly from an overwhelmingly anthropocentric idea that we got the biggest fucking balls on this planet. So big are our balls that we convinced ourselves we can fuck the planet over. The truth is we are nothing but dust, a bunch of base microbes walking the surface. The planet and life on it had endured the kind of environmental catastrophies we can barely fathom. Just looking over the Five Great Extinctions will give us a picture. Humanity has been very lucky -- over the last 10,000 years while our civilization has been peaking, there have been no major tectonic, volcanic or cosmic events to fuck with our self-esteem. And so we got so full of ourselves we think we can fuck with planet. Christ, if our ultimate nightmare -- a globall all-out thermonuclear exchange takes place, life on the planet will recover in a blink of an eye -- a few million years. And as far as emissions go -- if the Yellowstone Supervolcano opens up tomorrow, the amount of CO2 emitted will be mind-boggling.

I am not trying to say we should shit all over the planet. I am all for *reasonable* things -- water and power saving, recycling, etc. I do that myself every day.

What I am completely against is a bunch of politicians hijacking and subverting a scientific process for the end goal of their re-election, while taxing me into oblivion and castrating our already stagnant economy with "emission caps", all in the name of scientifically dubious goal.

Not going to argue with your science. But you need something other than big balls to fuck something over :)

Smeyalso :))

You're a woman and an engineer. Dangerous combination when it comes to the technicalities of fucking (over) :))
