May 14, 201412 yr A charitable interpretation would be that he was referring to the amount of time countries had to put together a working agreement before the major UN climate summit in France in roughly 500 days, not that the apocalypse would occur in 500 days. I haven't seen the actual statement yet. Simply going off the lede to this thread. Is there a recommended link to the actual statement?

May 14, 201412 yr ^ Man, I'm out of the loop this week. None of that made any sense to me. Seems like there is a lot of context for a lot of the things mentioned, and I just don't know any of it.
May 14, 201412 yr My thoughts: 1) This guy is an idiot if he really said that. 2) I've never met anyone who says Global Warming isn't happening. What is up for debate is how much (if any) impact humans have on it. 3) Whether it's real or not, I could not possibly care any less. I can't find the need or want to care about what happens to Earth 300-400+ years from now. I won't be here, my kids won't be here, my grandchildren won't be here, and my great-grandchildren won't be here, so I just don't care.
May 14, 201412 yr Global Warming = Climate Change. Happened before, will happen again. But aren't we currently in a cooling trend overall?

Well a bunch of ex-military US generals think it's a concern: U.S. Military Pressed to Act on Climate Change - WSJ.com During the last elections I believe Rick Santorum flat out denied Global Warming was happening. He called it a liberal plot (or something close)

He called it a liberal plot (or something close) Former generals are just like any other group of veterans. Some are Democrats, some are Republicans, some are liberals, and some are conservatives. Their opinion on man-made global warming is worth no more than anybody else's. Climate change is settled science. The climate is constantly changing one way or another, as it has been doing for millions of years and as it will continue doing.

Climate changes but but anthropogenic drivers are over stated and used by greedy greenies.
May 15, 201412 yr Scam would be accurate. Climate changes but but anthropogenic drivers are over stated and used by greedy greenies. I guess we can end any discussion about climate change here because there is surely nobody that would have any financial interest in disputing science that says that pumping carbon into the atmosphere has any negative effects on the earth's climate because they fear dealing with it might lead to legislation that would aim to limit such a thing. I can't think of anyone with a monetary stake in the matter other than scientists who would still have jobs as scientists or researchers whether said legislation was passed or not.
May 15, 201412 yr Bacteria and disease have been such a financial windfall for the scientific community. Their research has scared the public into washing their hands and taking appropriate antibiotics to counteract infections. I'm surprised no one has caught onto that long con yet. Follow the money.
May 15, 201412 yr Haha....you need to come around more often Habib. Hell, I may start a Habib vs. Getslow thread...think Superman vs. Batman and I'll just sit and try to follow along. I learn a ton from both of you.

Hand sanitizer is a scam isn't it??? Isn't it. Washing your hands and hand sanitizer are the same thing, aren't they???
