re: #271 Charles

Oh, no sir. You already ruined Sanford for me. I’m not gonna lose that wonderful guy from those videos. NOT TODAY.

:-)

I’m a biochemist. I’ve said here on LGF…acid rain—real. Cuyahoga River bursting into flames because of pollution—real (!). what the Soviets did to rape the earth in Russia and Eastern Europe—real. what the Chinese are doing to rape the earth (and atmosphere)—real.

That’s all science. There’s a lot of environmental science that is absolutely real science, of course.

I’m not a Limbaugh acolyte who giggles that everybody should fly their private jet, and nobody should care about how much they consume, etc. I will put solar on my house as soon as I can afford it, for several reasons. I am moving somewhere that I can have the organic garden of my dreams…etc.

But telling people that atmospheric carbon dioxide causes global warming? nope. It’s not at all clear that there is a causative link between the two.

I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but the AGW/ACC hard core believers remind me of the folks who were running around the biochem/immunology community back in the 90s saying that they had “proof” that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS. I dunno why, but they just have the same vibe for me….faith healers or something.

I also grew up in Missouri, which makes me a Show Me State girl. Show Me the data, and I’ll be with them. They haven’t even gotten close, which means that the science isn’t settled or even persuasive that it will be settled in my lifetime.
