US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Straw man. No-one is trying to make a lasting effect in terms of millenia. For the most part people are thinking of the immediate future, i.e. their kids and grandkids.
Princely the shortsighted arrogant belief that natural processes can be reversed in order to perpetuate a species in stasis.
The nice thing about natural processes is that they are very slow, giving mankind time to adapt. It's an acceleration of the change that we want to avoid.

Agreed 5, I even agree with Topper on some points but to blatantly say there is no climate change is the arrogant part. I guess it makes some people happy and they can go to bed at night.

Would’ve been more PC so say... always on the other side.

To say always on the wrong side is just arrogant

Would hate to be that kid. Can't even play sports with the old man without worrying about a hip fracture.

Knowing Reefer2 as we do, it is fair to assume he has no clue as to what "anthropogenic" means

... and is too lazy to look it up.

We can go "nack and forth all day" because indeed there is no scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change. :wink:

Climate change has been occurring since long before mankind was a factor.

The Paris Agreement had zero chance of reversing the current climate change trend.

The scientific consensus among astronomers is that a new Maunder Minimum (mini ice age) is on the horizon.

You can believe whatever you want, but you should be vigilant in this day and age to ensure you haven't been brainwashed.
No consensus according to those that don’t want there to be a consensus you mean.
Nope, there is either a “Scientific consensus” or there isn’t

… and in the case of anthropogenic climate change, there isn’t.

But “Scientific consensus” is an oxymoron (no not talking about you Reef)

Opinions have nothing to do with "Science"

... so really, who gives a fuck about a Scientific consensus amirite? :wink:

Consensus or not, you must be happy that your orange hero is boosting coal and stalling renewables. It just makes sense to keep filling the air with toxins, right? :D

You must be doubly proud of the incredible choice he made for SCOTUS. :oops:
