Also, last time I checked I wasn't a, "cruel and oppressive ruler" of anything.
So how am I a tyrant?
It was a half-joke at the very most; calm down. I'm just saying, anyone who supports this theory is in support of authoritarianism and they just use that to try to make themselves feel secure.
Hypothetical Question: Would you ever have me arrested because I don't recycle? If it ever comes to that, you can be damn sure that I, and others like myself, will resist this (absolutely totalitarian) system and its supporters to the very end.
Down with the "green police" and anything else that would threaten my way of life.
I'm not hurting anyone. If I'm at home, minding my own business -- and if I don't recycle, then I don't deserve to be harassed for it.

Personally, I think all of that really is just an excuse that politicians use to arrest us; calling us "Climate Criminals" and the like.

Trust me, you don't want to live in a world where nothing is questioned. The science isn't "settled" by any means, that's just a phrase climate change believers use to smugly tell anyone who would question their opinion that they're wrong.
And I'm not calling you a dummy either. [In reference to the video below.]
I may think you're a misguided supporter of authoritarianism perhaps, but I don't think you're an all-out "Soldier of the Oppressor" ... yet.

"But the "computer models" PROVE "global warming". You know, those "computer models" that are nothing but COMPUTER PROGRAMS that are DESIGNED TO PRODUCE A SPECIFIC RESULT FROM THE DATA INPUTTED INTO THEM."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that the commenters are doing a fine job of disproving potholer all on their own.
"@potholer54 "and once you believe this it may be hard to convince you of the science.” This statement assumes there is no correlation between cosmic rays and cloud cover, this IS the science, you may not like it, but it remains. Every attempt you make to prove otherwise is fruitless, and makes you seem biased to the political goals of AGW groups. Everything you say seems to be trying to deny the science of climate. You have blinders on this topic, take them off, and be honest."
"Potholer, you should not be trusted to deal with any scientific issue. a) Assume that only Nature and some US journals are "peer-reviewed". b) There is a research paper published in Geomagnetizm i Aeronomiya by Dergachev et al, showing clearly that temperatures and cosmic rays correlate in a continuous correlation. c) In Geophysical Research Letters 2001 Kniveton & Todd used ground based neutron monitors to determine correlation between precipitation and cosmic rays."
"@SuperAnimalDrummer on a molecule-for-molecule basis the direct radiative effects of methane is about 72 times stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide over a 20 year time frame, but it is present in much smaller concentrations so that its total direct radiative effect is smaller. On the other hand, in addition to its direct radiative impact methane has a large indirect radiative effect because it contributes to ozone formation"
"Global warming is not a new phenomenon. Since the ice age the glaciers have been melting and of course the earth has also been getting warmer since that time. This is nothing more then evolution and there is no way to stop or even slow it down. Worrying about something you have absolutely no control over is stupid. It's for people like Al Gore who are using it as a way to scam money from anyone who will fall for this BS."

Look, just... don't immediately support this. Not until you've read enough information to come to your own conclusion.
I'm sorry if I came off as overly hostile. It's just that I can't abide by people telling me that the "science is settled" and that's it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm also sorry that I called you a "supporter of authoritarianism" -- but I really do think you have to stop supporting this. It simply isn't good for us to believe such blatant misinformation.
