People like that would have found another reason to do what they did.

Being that no one here is British, I'll do what my British friends do when they find out a story is from the Daily Mail.

Ignore it.

And why is that? You don't like the story?

Yep, because that Argentine press sure knows how to work the Brits up.

Is this the online version of "I don't like what's posted, it goes against everything I've been duped into believing so I will just stick my fingers in my ears and go *looloolooolooolooolooolooolooolooolooo*"?

If so, excellent.

Nice Thread Title. I think these stories belong here as well:

-------------
Elizabeth managed to escape and get herself to a hospital and call the police, but Joshua didn't stop raging until after he had killed two sheriff's deputies at a gun range, and police officers shot him dead.

According to the police report, Elizabeth Cartwright said her husband "believed that the US Government was conspiring against him. She said he had been severely disturbed that Barack Obama had been elected President."

Joshua Cartwright: Another Deadly Gunman "Severely Disturbed" Over Obama's Election
-------------
A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest and "lying in wait" opened fire on officers responding to a domestic disturbance call Saturday, killing three of them and turning a quiet Pittsburgh street into a battlefield, police said.

Police Chief Nate Harper said the motive for the shooting isn't clear, but friends said the gunman recently had been upset about losing his job and feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns.

The Daily Mail is a British paper, and is known as a rag. Just sayin'.

No, its taking a story about a deranged couple who resorted to a horrible act and blaming it on a scientific theory that most sane people believe.

The person with the fingers in their ears is you. The scientific evidence on the matter is nauseating. I used to follow the studies regularly as I have done from the 80s when as a teenager when I became interested in the story. I have stopped, it is depressing. I am not going to sit here and argue the case, I know that people who have managed to believe that this is a massive conspiracy propagated on the people of the world to advance a goal, what goal that is they don't know, are laughable and just straight up sad.

I don't know a lot of things in this world, but what I do know is that the global warming skeptics are on the wrong side of history here, and tragically I will get to see your denials come to fruit. I do hope I am wrong, I don't want to see what is coming, but it is, and I hope you can live with it.

Gay rights and global warming skepticism are the two reasons I will never vote Republican in a national election.

Read some **** on it, pick up an article in Science or Scientific American on this topic, or read one of the thousands of peer reviewed studies on it. Or do you think science is some crock pot ****, that only is true when you agree with it. Are those cancers drugs only done by credible sciences. Its this same aversion to science that gives rise to crack pots like Humber.

So because I don't agree with your assessment of whether or not this is even a valid thread...you come out with this?

Are you ok tonight? Do you need some Midol?

Is that the online equivalent of asking her if she's on the rag? How misogynistic of you.

Bad timing for you.
Since it has recently emerged that the data EAU was relying on was faked and the original source data was destroyed. Further, top "scientists" deliberately supressed contrary data and opinions from getting peer review or published. The ICC hasn't been looking so spectacular lately either, with their sloppy methods and use of propaganda to support their incorrect conclusions.

Even Phil Jones admits that there has been no statistically-significant global warming since 1995.

In trying to overcome criticism of earlier attempts to gauge the view of earth scientists on global warming and the human impact factor, Doran and Kendall Zimmerman sought the opinion of the most complete list of earth scientists they could find, contacting more than 10,200 experts around the world listed in the 2007 edition of the American Geological Institute's Directory of Geoscience Departments.

Experts in academia and government research centers were e-mailed invitations to participate in the on-line poll conducted by the website questionpro.com. Only those invited could participate and computer IP addresses of participants were recorded and used to prevent repeat voting. Questions used were reviewed by a polling expert who checked for bias in phrasing, such as suggesting an answer by the way a question was worded. The nine-question survey was short, taking just a few minutes to complete.
Two questions were key: have mean global temperatures risen compared to pre-1800s levels, and has human activity been a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures.

About 90 percent of the scientists agreed with the first question and 82 percent the second.

In analyzing responses by sub-groups, Doran found that climatologists who are active in research showed the strongest consensus on the causes of global warming, with 97 percent agreeing humans play a role. Petroleum geologists and meteorologists were among the biggest doubters, with only 47 and 64 percent respectively believing in human involvement.

"The petroleum geologist response is not too surprising, but the meteorologists' is very interesting," he said. "Most members of the public think meteorologists know climate, but most of them actually study very short-term phenomenon."

He was not surprised, however, by the near-unanimous agreement by climatologists.

"They're the ones who study and publish on climate science. So I guess the take-home message is, the more you know about the field of climate science, the more you're likely to believe in global warming and humankind's contribution to it."

Scientists Agree Human-induced Global Warming Is Real, Survey Says I'm a cynic to everything I read these days, but it is hard to ignore articles like this.

And this:
