'public acceptance of climate science is slowly increasing'

That wasn't the story the other day when there was wailing and gashing of teeth over ' opponents of climate change appear to be winning the war of words.'

I guess you are one of those that got fossil fuel interests looking for a new form of denialism.

How old do you think the term climate change is?

progressiveslol wrote on Dec 4^th, 2015 at 10:59pm:


No, how old specifically.  I'm just curious as to why you think such an old term is somehow been a recent addition to the scientific language.

I see what the article is getting at.

The loonie hippie cranks have by association damaged public perceptions.

I have heard of denial, but I don't think it exists

they're linked, one is the driver, the other is just ONE of the effects

don't you remember

it may be best if you apologise in writing and then implement a self banishment period of at least 48 hours.

I dont cite the media. I actually read peer reviewed scientific articles published in numerous prestigious Journals.

Have you ever done that Jethro?

Or do you exclusively rely on media Videos to construct your public sermons of lunacy and putrid foul stenching deception vomit?

You demand an apology and yet do not attach a self banishment punishment to this written apology.

Jethro is Afraid ladies and gentlemen

climate change is an older phrase than global warming

Wonder where you saw that?  Gosh.. that is NEWs.

lee, you leave a lot to detritus behind whenever you post.

Aren't you all 'conspired out'  by now? Why was it again, that a conspiracy exists to 'promote' public acceptance of CLIMATE CHANGE.?

What is the aim?  NO I don't accept. ..  as proposed on other threads, that scientists are simply after research funds.  I mean seriously, what would be the reason,  the  rationale, behind presenting ALL THESE LIES to the public.?

eeeeeeeeeh     poor polar bears
wish I was younger. I'd be more than an internet agitator.

do you despise human ignorance as much as I do.? 

Yes you do. 
I've been here .. just sick of the many dwads I  ought to deal with .  It's boring mostly. I get sick of it.

How many times ??  Too many.

Guess we'll just drown in our own shte

Yes, well: I was in Mexico last year for my brothers wedding and... there are practicalities of life that get in the way I suppose. They have 100 million people over there and the Americans bought land off them when they were in debt- land with gold and water and something else i forget now.

You go to a pub over there and you will be told you're going to die if you aren't careful as their history is full of so called revolutionarys famous for killing white people. My brother had blue-heeler dogs(apparently quite popular over there now) whose names i found out later were famous for... KILLING WHITE PEOPLE  I must have been drinking too much tequila to laugh at that but now I think about it it wasn't that funny. Actually, now I remember why i don't drink tequila 

Full stop, the practicalities of life mean we aren't all born rich. Saying that, we shouldn't waste what we've got.

The majority of people were of course awesome sauce: but there was a big gap between rich and poor and if you went to a public school it was only for four hours a day and that sort of thing.

But if you want to see lots of whales then go to Mexico- you sit on the beach watching like 4 whales and then 8 whales and then you can't count how many whales all jumping out of the water and that's like normal to them.

..and the beach is warm water: they reckon they don't even go for a swim in summer as it doesn't make any difference 



..but--> if you have no reason to go there then don't bother: whilst it wasn't a hot bed of criminal activity the place where those guys got killed was just north of this Quimixto area!

Yeh: very happy- who needs spanish lessons because I'm not going back. Great memories though!

Yes and no: some of it is jungle, and has mudslides as they have mountains right on the sea due to it basically being very close to the fault lines , and they create their own moisture for clouds and rain. Depends where you mean? When jungles start dying out then we'll all be far more concerned with the anarchy that proceeds it i'm sure!

Oh, you mean inland: I just went for a holiday so I never saw the real mexico: my brother said the country is mostly pretty bleak and poor and ultimately dangerous. The coast is pretty cool if you remain careful: marinos (read, 'marines') outside your beach hotel and stuff...  ... it's an eye opener!

I've never seen an armoured vehicle with a gun turret before: and all those blokes with machine guns... yeh,.. it's all coming back to me now!

They will be back there right this very moment because they have long festivals for Christmas and fireworks and like drums everywhere...

That may be the church where my brother got married actually... they have a church like every 8 streets but this is one of the most popular ones.
