"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
WUWT reader Charles Harrison uses the new submit story feature
(see header menu) to ask this:
I would like to have a personal collection of AGW
quotations to use
in presentations, etc. Things like no more snow, the latest proposal to
tattoo skeptics, the need to bring about the end of industrial
civilization, etc. [Watts
Up With That?]
”
Don't want to talk down
to anyone, but not everyone has a PhD in molecular air carbonology, so
a little explanation may help some.
"AGW"
is "anthropogenic global
warming;" science shorthand for "man caused global warning," or "the God complex." If there's
a go-to guy on the subject, it's Anthony Watts (Watts
Up With That?)
I'm telling you this because some of the AGW quotations might be a tad
obtuse, but the bottom line is this. Here are a community of people who
understand this stuff, and they're all taking a dump on Al Gore's
head. A few examples.
This laugher from David Suzuki, who apparently does not
know physics or chemistry.
“It has been known since the last century that
carbon-bearing compounds are transparent to sunlight but opaque to
infra-red. In other words, sunlight passes through carbon-containing
air whereas infra-red heat rays tend to be reflected by the carbon.
We are familiar with this effect in a car that has
sat in the sun. The interior becomes hot because the carbon in the
glass keeps the heat in.”
Mary-Elena Carr of Columbia University’s Earth Institute
said what is now an annual sea level rise of a few millimeters will
increase dramatically by the year 2100.
“There’s just no escaping one meter by 2100. No escaping
that. Could it be more? Absolutely. Is it likely to be 10? No,” she
said.
I’ve got 100 pages of formal quotes & cites from warmists (not just
online commenters) that I’d like to submit to moderators / curators of
an edited thread. I don’t want to clog this thread with it. Is there
some moderator I can e-mail it to?
"If the number of Islamic terror attacks continues at the current rate, candlelight vigils will soon be the number-one cause of global warming. " Argus Hamilton

Al Gore stopped taking viagra. It made him taller. Tim
For those of you that aren't familiar with him, David Suzuki (aka "the wild Suzukious") has a Ph.D. in Zoology but has somehow become a self taught expert in everything relating the environment.
Then there was Algore's foray into medical science: "[W]e now know that the number of people who will die of AIDS in the first decade of the twenty-first century will rival the number that died in all the wars in all the decades of the twentieth century." Wow! That's gonna be real bad... Oh wait! GrinfilledCelt
