If by coward you mean scientist, then sure. Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/09/2014 06:10:30 AM

View original postAs per all the dire warnings, Manhattan should be under water by now, there should be no ice in the artic anymore, temperatures should be hitting new highs every year, and hurricanes should have destroyed half of the nation by now (and this isn't much of an exaggeration, look at the comments after the 2005 hurricane season).

Uh, yeah, the Hollywood version with the Manhattan flooding wasn't exactly supposed to be a real prediction, certainly not in so short a timeframe.
View original postNothing happened. Nothing close. And some things moved in the opposite direction.....more ice in the artic, less hurricanes, etc.

I beg your pardon? More ice in the Arctic? That's kind of a big factual blunder there. If you paid any attention you'd know that that particular trend has not paused or abated, much less reversed.

That the temperature increase has stagnated, yes. Things are indeed more complex than Gore pretended. But you can't just sit back and do nothing until science has figured out every last detail of global warming - there's more than enough known already to take action.

If by "unravel" you mean that it's more complex than it seemed at first, then yes. Legolas - 17/09/2014 08:04:24 PM 810 Views
