Sorry genuis for trying to bring a bit of levity to your pathetic life. You do know what levity means right? You can look it up in that big book that starts with DIC...iamangry wrote:

It really is the electoral colledge votes that count by the way.
Oh, search the USA's Constitution please. No use of the words democracy or democratic...
There wasn't when I checked anyway.
No kidding... It's too bad all the skeptics don't live in coastal cities with low elevations. Then.... the problem would solve itself in a few decades.Bertster7 wrote:

Sounds pretty undemocratic to me. I guess 'One man, one vote' and 'We are all equal' doesn't really apply then. You're essentially saying poor people are too stupid to vote properly or should be less entitled to an equal voice with the monied landed classes.Hunter/Jumper wrote:
The electoral college balances the vote between densely populated areas ( important because of their population ) and rural areas ( important because of what they produce. )
IE. The world needs Food more than Hip Hop.
You cant have what comprises the majority of the population make rules and pass legislation ( that they don’t understand because its alien to their world ) that would cripple necessary industries and Farmland, the very life line of our population ( if not most of the worlds. )
A small example.
Look what happened with the Luxury Yacht tax
“ Lets stick it to the rich because most people hate them, Good press ! “
A piece of Classic class envy legislation, pushed by liberal democrats to get Lots of Feel good press and camera time.
The American yacht industry was crippled along with the thousands of people ( upper, middle and lower class it ) employed.
The Rich bought their yachts from Europe. The European Yacht industry thrives.
Basically
The Electoral College prevents someone getting into the office by Promising Free Beer in a slum.
Or promising “ Free Health care ! If you have this card, you’re covered ! “ b. clinton 1991
You'd think after 18 years of never delivering on this promise (despite holding the White House and a democratic majority in the House and Senate ) people who vote would wise up. I guess not.
”. . .You can fool some of the people all the time ! “
Abe Lincoln
Each Electoral College ballot cast reflects the popular vote of that district, Its not really that hard to understand. Is it?
It’s a little late in the game to have to educate people on the Electoral College.
Some times I feel like I am defining "electron flow" to the Yanomamo Tribesmen

you seem to know what you're talking about topal, so i'll ask you something i've never understood. if CO2 is so reflective (for IR), wouldn't all that harmful radiation get bounced out of the earth before it ever reached us?topal63 wrote:
3. The ability of CO2 to redirect IR radiation back to towards the Earth, towards the lower atmosphere primarily is a well known effect. Known for about 100 years now.
no, CO2 blocks heat, not solar radiation.Ender2309 wrote:

Oh yes im sure there all just planning this. Im sure theres a big 'Democrat only' convention were fellow dems discuss all that there gunna do to destroy the republican party...G3|Genius wrote:
I read this article about Global Warming (http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/stor … 97,00.html)
In it, it suggests that we will probably have a couple of decades of global cooling coming up.
Let's say, hypothetically, that this whole global warming alarm trend catches, and laws are passed. Then, over the next 10 years, the globe starts to gradually cool.
Now all of those who heralded the Global Warming Awareness campaign become heroes, and all of those who said that it's all a natural Geothermal phenomenon become goats...even though, in truth, the Human Caused Global Warming crowd were just fear mongers and those who saw it as a natural phenomenon were, in fact, correct.
Now, what if Al Gore already knows this? Would it be too hard to believe that he may realize the political gold mine to be had by scaring people for acting a certain way, then leading them to believe that certain circumstances were influenced by their decision to listen to him?
Is it not unreasonable to think that the Dems are setting the stage to complete a total psychological carjacking of the gullible Americans (and the rest of the world for that matter)??
Discuss.
