So we are in a heat wave I guess. I'm ready for a mini ice age!

So what were seeing is a CYCLE ...Nothing has changed because man industrialized...The very same thing happened BEFOREHAND...

In other words, nothing to see here folks...Move along and stop being scared by the scientists that depend on grants...

A strawman argument is a logical fallacy and has nothing to do with "prog" or "con" viewpoints. Look it up if you can't figure out what it is but in the meantime - quit creating fake arguments and attributing them to me.

They don't know if it's a trend or the beginning of a new norm.

They aslo haven't taken the due diligence to make sure that it's manmade, since manmade CO2 doesn't account for enough CO2 in our atmosphere to be able to notice it's presence and no other manmade GH gas comes even remotely close. But that's just science and not hyperbole, so you can ignore it if you'd like (as usual).

Ignore it? As usual?

Bull!


I addressed it - with science - here: Political Wrinkles - View Single Post - Global warming skeptics as knowledgeable about science as climate change believers

You never responded.

Who is ignoring it?

Man someday you Progs are going to have to teach me how you do that one where you can lie to a person's face when all a person has to do is click your link to see you're lying.

I say you posted the wrong link. Here is the link you posted. It's in the OP.

Senate Plans Two Symbolic Votes On Taxes That Won't Change Anything : The Two-Way : NPR

It's titled \Senate Plans Two Symbolic Votes on Taxes. Some day you'll have to explain to me what that has to do with a couple warm weeks in Greenland.

You also posted a small blurb from the story you were trying to link to before you made your mistake. In that it told of chunks of glacier breaking off in the Arctic. It does not say it, but that has happened since man has been bright enough to observe it. It's a thing that happens.

The blurb also speaks of a weeks long warm period in the arctic, and suggests this "massive" event is so radical it adds evidence to the idea of Global Warming. It does not mention it, but this also is one of those things that happen throughout geologic history. It is not without precedent. It is not something that happens as a result of something that man did in the last 150 years as the blurb suggests, and you should know this, because once this thing of precedence is pointed out to you, you admit it said in the full article this is part of a cycle of - they now claim - about 150 years. Upon challenge you told me this was in your article you were trying to link to - you know the one you gave the bad link to.

I gave you a link that showed you this issue has been debated for a few days now, and originally whether or not your "massive" melt of a couple weeks in duration mattered to the global warming argument depended on the idea of precedence. It's happened before. It will happen again, and has nothing to do with any influence man might have on the weather.

What boggles my mind is even now when you admit this is a cyclical thing, you still want to insinuate man is causing this when simple common sense will tell anybody who wants to think about it that's obviously not the case here.

And how can the issue of precedence be a strawman argument if it's the central argument against the assumption human caused global warming is the cause here - something which was stated - I will say clearly - in your posted blurb? Answer: It can't be. That's not what a strawman argument is. Calling a central argument Strawman is a thing Progs do when they don't like it that their argument has been destroyed by the central argument. They believe they can do this, because they don't think they'll be challenged on it. Guess what? Didn't work.
