Since we're not going to effectively reduce our greenhouse gasses in time to save the ice and polar bear and mokshas, we should start figuring out how to best move forward.

My solution?

Nation Floodwaters Control Network!

We move category 5 Hurricane water from over *there*, and pump it to the arid Montain West, Southwest, and West Texas (is that part of the Southwest?). We use existing infrastructure, add water pipes and puml stations, and voila. Water.

You're welcome.

Nah, it is more sensible to move people to the water....even though some people moved to the desert on purpose.

I thought it was only liberals that engaged in personal attack. Weird.


Oh, NOW Res Ipsa finds his indignancy. ;)

Nah, people don't want to give up their real estate. Best we just move the water.

Come on, this little cunt stain started it. Throwing his jowls around. He does this habitually, following me around on threads. He jumps in like a band groupie trying to impress those who he wishes were his friends. Does it to everyone. He has even sent me private messages in the past asking me to stop after he starts getting his ass handed to him, which takes about 5 seconds, because he can't handle it emotionally. But then he comes back and does it again.

This versus this.

Richard Siegmund Lindzen (born February 8, 1940) is an American atmospheric physicist known for his work in the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, atmospheric tides, and ozone photochemistry. He has published more than 200 scientific papers and books. From 1983[1] until his retirement in 2013, he was Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2] He was a lead author of Chapter 7, "Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks," of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Third Assessment Report on climate change. He has criticized the scientific consensus about climate change[3] and what he has called "climate alarmism."[4]

Have you been to grad school? If so then you understand how a thesis works. You are oddly dismissing the quality of this particular man's work, which I have seen no reason to be suspicious of, while simultaneously casting doubt over the whole institution. If this guy's Ph.D. is total rubbish, who's the say the other guys PhDs aren't as well?


Lindzen did fine work years ago, but has increasingly drifted toward crankery, especially in his op-Ed’s. These days, he flat out misrepresents the science. He’s not s credible voice in climate science today.

Hey, I’m not the one who suggested some guy’s PhD thesis as a reason to doubt an enormous body of scientific evidence. If you want to claim that this guy is Galileo, then make the case.

Oh My God! Can we have a conversation on climate change yes or no?

How is it that members of the party of personal responsibility always blame others for their own crappy conduct? Man up, dude.

There is nothing to skip if the point is already made. That being, you keep revealing your stupidity by referencing crap sources like Brietbart who are always busted for partially citing their own sources to manipulate idiot readers like you into buying into another false narrative.
