I’m banking that’s an oversight on your part, though. That’d be a liberal-type mistake.

And, just so you know. I can get the water to float to the top by adding enough chloroform to the oil when nobody’s looking. That’d be a liberal-type example of proof.

Be careful which analogies you employ. Just sayin’.
If you stick with the general concept of layers of different density, rather than naming the layers, you can’t make the mistake. That’s how one can defeat a liberal-type misunderstanding of concepts.

Weather, living processes, and atmospheric chemisty, are absolutely subsets of physics, biology and chemistry, respectively.

These fields of science are never invoked by AGW proponents, except to say that Mankind is interfering and destroying the Earth.

These basic fields are in fact replaced in with poorly measured cherrypicked data, conceptual misappropration, models presuming baseless correlations, and meaningless trends which don’t reflect the processes involved, unduly isolating processes, and blatant disregard for all events that are contrary to the adherent line.

Like acid rain, so too shall AGW fall. Will it be in time to avoid bankrupting the USA is the only question.

So, I’m totally on board with the rest of your diary. There is nothing yet concrete enough to legislate. Pollution control, waste minimization, and even reforestation are good ideas, economically and ecologically sound in and of themselves. They just have the inconvenient quality of being something people can decide to do without the help of the Democratic Party, or the World Body, or the UN.

(Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant; it is an essential component of the atmosphere necessary to all life. Nor it is the most important greenhouse gas, WATER is)

No one has answered (or can yet answer to my satisfaction) to what extrent the weather would be different if the activites of Humanity weren’t occuring on the planet. A better understanding of the world’s processes is essential to making the right policy choices.

Until then, Al, Joe, Barack, Nance, shut yer yaps and let the real scientists, the ones you don’t pay to give you the info you want, to take their time and figure it out.
