Title: My sister the liberal nut
Post by: jinxmchue on September 02, 2009, 10:20:49 AM

I love her to death and I always will, but she drives me nuts with comments like this:

Quote

Al Gore's dedication to a particular cause is more than schtick, Jay. He and the organization he founded five years ago received a Nobel Peace Prize for their work. It is possible to disagree with a person's ideals and values and not be insulting.

What's going on is "climate change," or unusual weather conditions. More violent storms, and conditions like 40 degree temperatures in the dog days of summer.

I responded with "When has the climate not changed?  And who and what defines weather conditions as "usual" or "unusual?""

I like the not-so-subtle change from an adamant stance on 'Global Warming' to an equally adamant stance on 'Climate Change.'  

"What?  The earth warming?!  Naaawwww... I never said that!  I said there would be radical temperature fluctuations!  That's always been my stance!"

It's like how ABC News posted on year on how coffee can actually be good for you then the next year run a report as to how much stress it adds to your life without skipping a beat.

And 30 odd years ago we were being warned about an impending ice age caused by pollutants. Now there are proposals to purposefully put pollutants into the atmosphere to prevent warming.

Ask her one simple question: "What is the correct temperature of the earth?"

...answer will be, "With enough government funded studies, we can determine that".   :thatsright:
