We haven't stopped anything on the west slope, we only slowed it down…Billy Bob Koch, won't be denied…
CT, Did you just get back from your trip down under?
The public lands atop Roan Plateau are not drilled, even though Bush leased them all in 2008. SG Interests and BBK's GEC were forced into an EIS on Bull Mnt. The North Fork won two rounds in a leasing fight and forced BLM back to the table on considering a locally-developed plan. I tend to see signficant progress, albeit with steps back too. Pessimism is defeat IMO. Optimism may be pollyannish. there is a middle way between those that can see advancment if people stay in the fight.
Ha ha, ice in the Antarctic. Thanks for proving my point on how effing stupid trolls are particularly those of the GOP bent.
CT – thanks for that photo & tweet from Tisha. I notice that this tweet is getting renewed interest now! Whoop!
Here is the leader of the movement.
When he was done putting together the Internet, he became the spokesman.
Genuflect A Cowardly turd to your intellectual superior.
http://www.skepticalscience.com/no-warming-in-16-years.htm
Cartoon or science? A Cowardly trud says…CARTOON I like cartoons! My low-info peeps like cartoons. Words are hard! Science makes me feel all dumb and stuff.
Pre-Copernicus, conventional wisdom and accepted science still believed the earth traveled around the sun. They even had a model that explained retrograde motion. The problem with their model is while predictive, they could not explain why.
The current theologians of global warming do not even have a model that is predictive. The only thing predictive is they want to raise taxes.
make that the sun traveled around the earth.
Some people are so wedded to an idiotology that they are unable to observe the real world (with its admittedly "liberal" bias, being that it's based on evidence and other facty things).
And it's always great being reminded about how stupid and narrow-minded the whole "denio-sphere" is. The shills at Hearland Inst. lost many of their big money backers when they ran that series of billboards. Chicken shit idiots. Especially those that foolishly remind us of their bankrupt idiotology.
A. Coward can't even keep the troll talking points straight… what a joke.
Oh, look … over there … arctic sea ice has "recovered" 10 times over the last 35 years. Well, I guess that's true … IF you're an intellectually bankrupt idiotologist.
This, and many more presentations of actual evidence available here: https://www.skepticalscience.com/graphics.php
Idiotologist. Great new word. Deserves widespread usage.
I can't do the necessary math, ardy3, but is that showing more variability over the shorter interval besides the down trend?
CT, what is the most prevalent greenhouse gas?
It must be really scarry, CT?
C,mon I can take it, what is it?

There, I said it. Glad to get that off my chest.
Think I am going to make a chicken for dinner. Smoked of course
I'm going for a hot and sour soup with tofu, and some California rolls.
Trolls in turdland must be feeling the heat, no pun intended. I should write more often, quarantee the feces smearing basement dwellers on one thread.
It is likely that A.Coward the turd troll is so painfully stupid that it actually imagines that water vapor being a heat trapping gas is relevant to thisdiscussion. The brain-dead thoroughly debunked poop it spits up after having happily swallowed such at some wingnut sight is like a big sign saying: HEY LOOK AT HOW STUPID I A COWARDLY TROLL AM!!!
To whit- 1.Antarctic has ice and it trapped a boat ergo, Climate Change is false! 2.There is no global warming there is global cooling! 3. The Sune goes around the earth, err I mean the other way around and Copernicus was right! Therefore all science afterwards is called into question! 4. Water Vapor traps heat too!!
Now it may be that in the turdland troll-world echo chamber (presided over by the bouncing Rush) believes itself and finds its words clever, it may be that it is so bereft of basic knowledge that these 'arguments' seem like, well, arguments. Or it may just spread its shit around in the hopes that by smearing such enough someone will say–"hey that's not chicken shit I smell but chicken soup!' I say its doubtful.
What drives climate change deniers? There's nothing inherintly liberal in accepting the science behind it. It's almost like a lot of them take joy in, as a group, having their beliefs trump science.
The problem for these morons is ignoring the facts doesn't change them.
They are low-info idiots that are threatened by change, and gullible or they are trolls doing the bidding of people that don't give a shit about the impacts that follow from the profit the status quo rewards them with.
What drive them? Fear. Accepting even the concept of climate change opens the door to rational analysis of data; which could prove harmful to their 1950's belief system that American Industry is pure, holy, and the only real defense against the godless scourge of Communism.
It's the same logic that keeps Creationists from admitting the earth is older than 6,000 years.
They get paid by big oil and big coal.
The morons…or the facts? 🙂
Once upon a time when I wrote a blog it got good discussions going, even among those that disagreed. Thanks Ardy for providing some good material. The skepticalscience site is great and deflates ALL the bullshit being peddled here by our self-loathing chickenshit infantile troll. Its just a sad state of affairs that all there is any more in these parts is shit-slinging. I know I throw it back. That, I suppose, is the coward's real purpose. If I find out who this POS coward is I am going to hari-kari on this site…so folks that know can send me scoop. @COTwitty
Sure sounds like you are winning the argurment.
Somebody tell me who he is (your given name is Club, last name Twitty?).
argurment. Here's the thing, deniers say there is no consensus in the science but all they show is they have no understanding of science. There is no argument., There is shit slinging. To idiots I get that looks like an argument, but its not. Copernicus is not an argument, ice in the antarctic is not an argument, a (non-existent) cooling trend is not an argument. I understand you probably don't get that because–in all honesty–you have demonstrated that at best you are a C Student. You are stupid, or if not you have certainly nevcer put forth anything here to suggest otherwise. But if there is science that supports your position, if there is a real argument to be made, then make it or get your masters to send someone that has the courage, self-respect, and basic knowledge sufficeint to do it. That's all. I would love to see an argument. Instead we get you, so if that's a win. Yeah, you won. If proving you are a chicken shit imbecile is a victory. .
As someone that has posted here since about the beginning, and has authored numerous diaries–all sourced–a number of folks have figured out who I am in the real world. I don't advertise it, but I doubt it would affect my business too terribly if more figured it out.
On the other hand, if the wage of showing what a mean-spirited little price you are, in the real world to your bosses, their campaigns having to throw you under the bus–crunch crunch–is that more learn who I am, so be it.
Be careful out there turd.
CT, I don't care to know who you are.
You are not important.
I already figured that out.
CT, I don't care to know who you are.
You are not important.

"Be careful out there turd."
That sounds like a threat, not an argument.

BTW, I don't have any bosses.
My apologies to the Pols world for letting a little turd get me heated and riled up. As they say, some things are best served cold anyways.
He'll be gone when his candidate loses.
It does get pretty quiet here after November as I seem to recall.
CT, You act civilized ( or close to it as you can). I act civilized (or as close to it as I can).
You act like a jerk. I act like a jerk.
We are not going to agree on most things, that does not mean we need to be disagreeable.
Your choice.
Cabish?
Ridiculously false eqivalence.
CT acts like a jerk to you, one poster.
You act like a jerk to everyone who posts.
Thats different. You remind me of someone whose name I just can't remember. Do you owe anyone on Pols money from lost bets in prior election cycles?
JB,
If you were to look at the world of Pols insults, I have insulted after having been insulted. Many have acted as jerks and have been treated in kind. If I had used the language directed at me I would have been banned.
I don't consider having an opposing view as insulting.
I don't consider calling the editors dishonest for their reporting on the number of people who had their insurance cancelled as insulting. I consider it to be the truth.
If you can't take your Senator's absence at his son's criminal hearing, together with the least disrespectul of all the photos taken by the Boulder paper, being commented on I guess you share in the sense of entitlement he has. I think it is fair game. Any father present in their child's life would have been. He was not.
If you want an echo chamber, continue to have at it.
If you want debate, grow up.
Threatening to divulge who I am in order to quell the opposition is a sign of how you are faring on the issues.
I can figure out who you are. You can figure out who I am.
I understand many of the people here are working on Dem campaigns. I also understand that banning dissenting view has been engaged in here before, but it usually happens closer to an election. It is generally believed that this is not going to be a good year for Dems. Deal with it. Or act like your masters and blame the messanger.
Just remember, AC:
This site's commitment to Free Speech allows lying, ignorant, bottom-feeding trolls like you to come here and spew your misinformation in the name of "dissent". The same goes for HuffPo, KOS, even Mother Jones, for crying out loud.
CPP (y'know, home base for you) is too chickenshit to allow that.
Now tell us who's afraid of what.
A/C – read this. While all of us, including C/T make mistakes at times, the difference is he's a respected contributor (and he's been equally crappy toward me at times) while you're a troll. And trolls get zero respect here.
When the messenger is a good part of the message and the message is harmful to the greater portion of humanity it's only right that some part of the blame fall on them. Meantime you keep rebleating your fantasies to yourself I'm sure they help you somehow.
First off, I'm assuming answering you here is on a different level than a "reply" to the fecal one.
Now, finally we have an answer………….sort of. Maybe not, but at least we're down to two possibilities, both bad.
1). "BTW, I don't have any bosses" means this is someone who isn't being rewarded for being an asshole, that doesn't have anything to do but make a fool of himself posting refuted bullshit story after refuted bullshit story, and/or "I don't have any bosses" means he's either living at home with mom and/or dad……………and/or…………….he's on entitlements……………….. because he's unemployed, for whatever reason.
2). He is a compensated troll whose low ethical bar and disinterest in being an honest person allows him to be a liar………..without even giving it a thought.
I remember the "Eisenhower" Republicans. Growing up, in the '50's, the neighborhood was about 70% Roosevelt Democrats and 30% Eisenhower Republicans. Good debates for sure. The Republicans were strong Union, pro national defense, and of course, fiscally responsible. The differences were minute. The country had been through 2 wars in less than 15 years, allmost all the male adults on our 2 block "enclave" had been in the Service, about half had seen action, and there was a great respect of one another shown. Manners were demanded and displayed. Those great Greatest Generation veterans were happy to be Americans, and party or "ideological" demonization affiliation NEVER oozed into the conversation.
Hate as I do to have to say it now, this shit staining paid or not paid troll IS today's revolting republican party.
Everything he puts here is a regurgitation of WHAT'S BEEN IN PRINT OR ON AIR, written or said by hacks like huckabee, santorum, gingrich, priebus, or any of the sneering, despicable mouth pieces the conservative money plutocratical assholes pay them to put out.
The mental midgets like this guy are just the last stop the bile and crap makes. They're the hatefull recepticles of the mean spirited, fear mongering message.
This turd, sadly, IS the republican base.
For thise wondering what someone means when they say cabish, here's my best guess
LMAO, David…
If fraking is safe, why is the CEO of Exxon Mobil Chevron suing to stop it in his neighborhood, but not in mine?
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/02/21/3316881/exxon-ceo-protests-fracking/
I see. Property values. Guess he doesn't think the little people should get to keep up their property values at Exxon's expense but hey, he's not just people. He's a CEO.
Maybe, like Polis, he didn't like the noise.
People with money sometimes do the darndest things.
I can be a jerk. I can be snarky. I can be impolite and impolitic. But I do my best to be accurate and when I make a mistake I am adult enough to acknowledge it rather than just move along. Because I may be gruff but I am not a troll.
And I'm not making threats, I am explaining a cause/effect relationship. Using tragedy and family troubles to attempt to score unconnected political points is gross and if done on behalf of any candidate, worth noting for the Colorado voter.
If I can help in that process then it would be worth it to me to do so, chips falling where they may. An informed electorate is a wise electorate. Once that connection is made it may very well blow back, and that is worthy of some caution should a troll be wise enough to accept such advice. Caution!
The denialists and their apologists all claim the science is not settled but they invariably offer none to counter it; in the 1500s—they may say—Copernicus too was laughed at for going counter to the Church and accepted thinking at the time: ergo Climate science is likewise specious. Or, it’s so very cold this winter—ha ha silly scientists and their models! Maybe we can ignore the rising ocean temperatures and point to anomalies in atmospheric temperatures (because either we are too stupid ourself to understand different, or we can surely fool those who may be). Etc. etc.
I don't need to compare myself to a troll or a turd, or to a saint or the pope. As Popeye said: I am what I am. That includes being sorry, as I noted above, that I let such a cowardly one get under my skin. I resolve to work on that, and being more gentle in general.
I think everyone here has been very unfair toward Tisha Schuller. She's said she will act on climate change. She never said she would act in a way that mitigates the devastating impact of increased CO2, just that she would act.
Working to continue unlimited CO2 emissions is acting on climate change.
A ja lubię dobra tanie noclegi gdańsk blisko morza polecam !
Back to provide an update. AQCC just passed the new air quality and methane regulations.
PS: Posting pictures of the Unabomber, Al Gore, and false cartoons is not just a difference in opinion, they are BS. I mean, as in factually irrelevant or demonstrably incorrect.
You can call it a grey area to go after a Senator because a family member has an addiction issue, I call it over the line. I note that unless you are privy to what legal or other advice the Udalls received, you are just spouting more crap with an intent to smear not to provide any value to the discussion or to engage in any debate. Let’s not pretend otherwise. It’s demeaning: To the troll that spouted it.
I think that should such a one as this be tied to a particular campaign or organization it would be a detriment. And a service to the Colorado voter. I am here to serve, I work for no candidate or political campaign. I do find such behavior abhorrent, and I find it somewhat bemusing that said troll is acting all hurt over that fact that its BS is being called out for what it is–unadulterated crap.
I am going to do my best to stay out of the fray, and stay away, because it makes me feel and act in a way I don't like myself to feel or act. But I appreciate that people enjoy my diaries, so I will try and post those as the occasion fits.
I’m sorry to BC and David T, BC for deriding her attempt to tell us we should ignore the obvious and odious turd, and David for my snarkiness that apparently made him feel I was dishing out a high level of crap. I might think he is being overly sensitive, but I only find his Europop vids offensive, not his commentary.
Hey ct no worries. I've been crappy to people here too at times. We're all human.
Although the comment about the Europop wounds deeply 😉
Glad to see your update, CT. It's a good place to start. Colorado leads the nation…again.
I'm seeing this comment for the first time so guess I was having problems with the site that I didn't even know about. I just have this to say, ct. I'd happily accept your apology if I thought I had one coming. Can't think of a thing you need to apologize to me for. Also, I think Europop videos are an abomination. Just thought I'd throw that in. Look forward to your diaries, ct.
