Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Resigns Over Global Warming

"1. That is a very elementary rhetorical fallacy called ad hominen. It something someone does when they can't debate the point or lack the intellect to present a proper argument."

Actually, it seems to be a valid point. FOX News is tabloid journalism that only is labeled as legitimate because it used to be a legitimate new station before Rupert Murdock sunk his talons into it.

"2. I don't have a TV; I don't follow mass media. I'm out of the left/right paradigm. I don't support the Republican or Democrat party, nor the stupid TV programs that push their propaganda. "

And yet you are using a story from a major television "news" corporation that pushes political propaganda. Curious no?

"3. Did he resign or didn't he? The fact is he did. CO2 does not cause Global Warming. ManBearPig is a con artist, fraud selling a carbon tax for big corporations and your a brainwashed troll. I used to believe this garbage too...until I did the research."

Cute reference to South Park. What is really nice though is that you give a general link, but you don't actually provide direct evidence. Still, I thought I'd look into one of the more common sources used in the threads from the climate-gate group link, www.infowars.com. It is sadly laughable that you are using a website which is primarily run by Alex Jones as a source. This is a guy who in 2000 infiltrated the Bohemian Grove, filmed the opening ceremony and claimed that it was a mock child sacrifice.

Solid reply from a nobody without a face. I've posted hundreds of articles from plenty of resources and thousands of scientists have refuted that CO2 is not the main driver of climate change, which is something you still haven't addressed.

I don't have to defend Alex Jones or Fox News. You think MSNBC is any better...owned by GE and Bill Gates? And Al Gore deserves to be clowned after calling so-called "deniers" racists as part of a propaganda campaign to fear monger the population into a carbon scam run by big banks.

Tell me, when has climate not changed and is the role of the Sun a greater or less factor than CO2 in affecting that change? How about the Gore family ties to Occidental Petroleum? These paragraphs were taken from a PBS Frontline Article:

Occidental on Capitol Hill

Between 1996 and 2000, Occidental spent more than $8.6 million lobbying the U.S. government, including for U.S. military aid to Colombia. In the 2000 election cycle, the company gave hard and soft money totaling about $551,000, with about 60 percent going to Republican candidates and political action committees. The CEO of Occidental's chemical subsidiary, J. Roger Hirl, raised more than $100,000 in support of George W. Bush's bid for the presidency.

Occidental also has maintained links to the Democratic Party for many years, primarily through former Vice President Al Gore's father, the late Al Gore Sr., who after leaving the Senate took a $500,000-a-year job with an Occidental subsidiary, then served on the company board for 28 years.

When the younger Gore joined Clinton's ticket in 1992, Occidental loaned the Presidential Inauguration Committee $100,000 to help pay for the ceremony. And after Gore took office, the company gave nearly $500,000 in soft money to Democratic committees and causes. In late 1997, the former vice president championed a $3.65 billion sale to Occidental of the government's stake in Elk Hills Oil Field (California), representing the largest privatization of federal property in U.S. history. In 1998, when his father died, Gore inherited about $500,000 worth of Occidental stock.

So much for your hypocrite, con artist snake oil salesman.

"I don't have to defend Alex Jones or Fox News. You think MSNBC is any better...owned by GE and Bill Gates?"

Yes, I actually do. MSNBC is by no means a shining example of what a news organization should be, but they tend to have higher standards then FOX News and Alex Jones. Unfortunately MSNBC has gone downhill attempting to compete with FOX (a huge mistake in my opinion) but they still make an effort to let their audience know the difference between their opinions shows and their actual news shows.

"When the younger Gore joined Clinton's ticket in 1992, Occidental loaned the Presidential Inauguration Committee $100,000 to help pay for the ceremony."

This is not uncommon for any company nor any political figure of that level.

"And after Gore took office, the company gave nearly $500,000 in soft money to Democratic committees and causes."

Nor is this, though I am mildly disgusted by it.

"In late 1997, the former vice president championed a $3.65 billion sale to Occidental of the government's stake in Elk Hills Oil Field (California), representing the largest privatization of federal property in U.S. history."

This is where the facts a little blurry. Al Gore championed the sale of the oil field, period. He did not champion the sale of the oil field to go specifically to Occidental. Occidental happened to be the highest bidder for the Elk Hills Oil Field. Selling the oil field makes sense since the oil field was originally established as a naval reserve in 1912 when everything, including huge naval ships were powered by fossil fuels. In more recent history, large naval vessels have become powered by nuclear reactors instead of fossil fuels.

I'd also be a little more concerned if Gore inherited the Occidental stocks before the sale of the land to Occidental. However, since his inheriting the stocks was dependent upon his fathers death, it does not seem likely that it would make for a sensible economic plan to boost Occidental stocks that he might not have received in a timely manner.

Also, about something that just seemed a bit... I don't know, personal.

"Solid reply from a nobody without a face."

I've put my face up as my avatar before, I changed it not because I did not want people to see my face, but because I thought it was time for a change. Just so you can link a face with the banter, I'll post a picture of my face so you won't have to strain your imagination.
