Top 10 Peeves about Global Warming, Climate, and Weather

Published under Climate Change, Environment, Weather

10. People who think that anything Al Gore says is right. (Left-leaning loonies.)

9. People who think that anything Al Gore says is wrong. (Right-leaning loonies.)

8. People equating arctic sea ice loss with sea level rise. (An introductory course in physics might be in order.)

7. Think of the penguins / polar bears / seals / etc. (Always a favorite of the loony greenies.)

6. Think of the children. (Who can’t think of the children when we’re always being reminded? Those of us without children are off the hook then, right?)

5. When everything is blamed on global warming. (6 people died today in an automobile crash in heavy fog. Police are investigating whether global warming played a part in the accident.)

4. Celebrities telling people that they can stop global warming by using one piece of toilet paper. (Besides the fact that I don’t want by underwear turning brown, this would have an insignificant effect on anything.)

3. Every blogger that has ever posted a link to that silly “How it all ends” or “The Most Terrifying Video You’ll Ever See” videos on youtube. (His thoughts are not original. But they may be original to the youtube crowd…)

2. Anyone who utters the phrase “emissions intensity”. (What an entirely useless metric.)

1. People being unable to distinguish between climate and weather. (There was an ice-storm over large portions of the United States today. How do Global Warming Alarmists explain that? Huh?)

What annoys you with respect to climate and weather? I’d love to add to the list.

      Whenever a blog leads with: “New Study Explodes Human-Global Warming Story”.

      Today’s example:
      http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/global_warming/2007/12/10/55974.html

      Did you know that anthropogenic global warming theory has bee exploded almost as many times as evolution?

      3. Conspiracy theorists (’they’ just want to tax us/control our lives/keep us in a state of fear…)
      2. The morally indignant crowd (why do you drive a car/eat meat/smoke/kill our children?)
      1. People whose minds are already made up but claim to be ‘open minded’ or ‘fair’.

      :) Regards.

      Curmudgeons.
      (except me, of course)

      …especially when they equate “not original” with “silly”, completely forgetting that the metric that matters is “effective in conveying a crucial message”, one that far too much of the body politic has been beFUDdled on. Or as someone I think on dKos put it, what did you do to influence 500000 people today?

      Take the Prozac, Atmoz. Or at least have a nice bowl of oatmeal, and a toke or two.

      You. You’re smug, straw-manny, and your categories are bizarrely personal and idiosyncratic.

      that’s top of my list right now. in general? dick-y fake-balanced concern trolls.
