“We DO know that it was at least as warm a thousand years ago as it is now”

You mean “I claim this to be the case, because some others have told me this is the truth. I don’t care what you scientists tell me, you cannot change my mind.”

I wonder who his “we” are; I assume he means paranoid conspiracy alarmists. No scientists “know” that astonishing “fact” of his.

First, facts are not insults.
Second: do you understand them any better than you do science?

“Since global warming is more of a religious philosophy than a scientific one….”

Just like the religion of gravity. Scientists are forcing us to follow their gravity religion, even though the First Amendment grants us the right not to. Damn them!

Another ignorant pontificator with poor reading skills and no intellectual curiosity. Keep it up Ken Mitchell. If all you’re going to do is spread bull stite, expect a lesson in scatology done properly.

I’m a global warming heretic.

So far, the “science” of global warming hasn’t been able to make any accurate predictions, because we DO NOT YET KNOW all the factors that affect climate. We DO know that it was at least as warm a thousand years ago as it is now, and that it was probably warmer in Roman times. And there were cold spells in between.

Is it going to get warmer? Yes. Is it going to get colder? Yes. When? THAT is the big question; which comes first, more warming (because it is CLEARLY warmer now than it was in 1800) or is it going to get colder, like it was in the 1400s? I’m reading interesting explanations of why it’s likely to get colder, and I’m reading scatological insults about why I’m an idiot and OF COURSE it’s going to get warmer.

“MSA, you should wipe that Santorum off your, um… yeah.”

Oy vey! (Not all anuses are Jewish; not all Jews are anuses.) Don’t even get me started on what Santorum’s anus talks about when we all gather at the water cooler on a hot, sweaty day. Santorum’s anus is *STILL* complaining about having been shaved so that Donald Trump would finally have a covering for his head. A few weeks ago I asked Trump’s anus what she thought about the new dead covering, but she was too embarrassed to do anything more than pucker up and pout in ire. We’d all pitch in and buy Trump’s anus some anti-depressant medication, but it’s too tight to get even 20mg of Paxil through.
