    The Politics, Language, and the Language of the Politics of AGW

    Or the scrutiny is simply overlooked or deleted, as people have seen on these forums and the news media. AGW climate change can hardly be considered a science the way anyone that dissents is treated.

    I have yet to see an example of legitimate scrutiny of anything involved in AGW discussions be ridiculed at all, let alone "drowned" in ridicule.

    Do you have an example handy?

    agree.
    mostly

    The earth is not in a global crisis. WE however, are endangered. the earth will carry on long after we kill ourselves off. And, while our lifestyles do need alterations, selling our new way of life like some recycled 1980s funding scam isn't really going to produce the greatest results. Unfortunately you hit the nail on the head, extreme disregard for anything but our unalienable rights to gratification is a problem. but what are you going to use to regulate our 'consumer capitalism'? limits? laws? socialism? this would probably be better in a different thread/category, but i beleive this was another function of religion. to govern without governing in order to refine a culture without the political backlash. in fact, i think i will continue this idea there. (dont wanna be a polluter!)

    I have a friend who posted something on facebook who almost identical to this: "Let's be clear. The planet is not in jeopardy. We are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet - or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves."

    Thread renamed to cater to the inability of a minority of individuals to retain context, and to avoid further complaints about political correctness.
