From Forbes ***Global warming alarmists and their allies in the liberal media have been caught doctoring the results of a widely cited paper asserting there is a 97-percent scientific consensus regarding human-caused global warming. After taking a closer look at the paper, investigative journalists report the authors’ claims of a 97-pecent consensus relied on the authors misclassifying the papers of some of the world’s most prominent global warming skeptics. At the same time, the authors deliberately presented a meaningless survey question so they could twist the responses to fit their own preconceived global warming alarmism. Global warming alarmist John Cook, founder of the misleadingly named blog site Skeptical Science, published a paper with several other global warming alarmists claiming they reviewed nearly 12,000 abstracts of studies published in the peer-reviewed climate literature. Cook reported that he and his colleagues found that 97 percent of the papers that expressed a position on human-caused global warming “endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming.” And Bill Two things First the newest article you posted was 2010 The one above is 2013 Many are newer Second You seem to really really like manipulated data that supports your cause "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

I know there is a bit of a mix but, here is a link for anyone who would want to learn what this 97% really means https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=the+97+consensus+on+global+warming "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

It is bull shit and you know it "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

I stopped reading at "vast majority". That 95% bs has been so totally debunked it is not worth going over anymore "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

It's nice to know that the company you work for does not operate with the same beliefs as you. Since they are making all those changes they must be run by alarmists. no It is run by realist who have to deal with the alarmist idiots in a political (not scientific) world Whether or not they believe as I do is unknown. "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Yeah, my uncle smoked and drank and he made it to 100. you been drinking already? "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Afraid? I have posted this before. My daily driver is a 94 chevy 1 ton. It has a 1975 block 383 stroker with an Eldbrock carb. Computer is disconnected with no catalytic converter. 380k miles. It is my hobby along with building AR15 rifles. What are you afraid of? In that case, your carbon footprint will be way way higher than mine. And I Am not a hypocrit. You cant say this As we have seen many times in the past, just because YOU say something, it doesn't make it true. BTW, Here is a nice picture of my MG. It's the one next to the Prius in my (unheated) garage, illuminated with a 9W LED lamp. And your plane? "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Talk about using weasel words. What does this mean? What kind of plants are you talking about? Being among the cleanest coal fired plants is nothing to brag about. Even if you have scrubbers the coal still has to come from somewhere. Are you storing the CO2 output somehow? I seem to recall you firmly opposing EPA rules to clean up coal plants as too expensive. Now you claim that yours are among the cleanest of the dirty. Well hello Mr Deadender We have mix of coal, widnd and gas We just finished a multi million dollar build updating ALL plants to what was going to be the EPA mandated (until they got stopped in the courts) The company I work for has already met current and future standards We have been and are de-commissioning at least 3 coal fired plants in favor of gas powered plants We have on wind farm and are currently working at doubling it. It is in Franklin County in Iowa Look up the Whispering Willow wind farm if you wish. The CO2 argument is bullshit so I will not address that alarmist nutty claim So, whether or not I opposed any of the EPA regulation does not mean anything I do not run the company See how fast you can look foolish!

Nope Nothing to do with my job As you know, I would with the lines. Regardless of the power source I will have a job Fail #1 Second, there is no reason to increase power costs because of a lie. And higher cost power affects the lower income more than it does you or me Third The power plants we operate are among the cleanest in the US And you make up numbers about how many people die from power plant pollution I know, it is just a guess So nice try You are the one wanting to increase power costs for no reason This is based on how YOU think people should live Therefor YOU advocate change that is not needed The stuffing is all yours Nice twist attempt however "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

***I really don't care about your footprint Now you cherry pick to try and save your ass Gotta say you are on a roll Really dude Put down the shovel and back away "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Another pathetic fail I am not trying to affect your life style All you alarmists are And then you say I tell people they are stupid Another fail or projection What have YOU done to shrink your footprint? (not that I really care) Or are you a hypocrite too? Now I am a liar?? No dude. I really don't care about your footprint other than to point out your hypocrisy "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

Because you would be bragging about it. Pathetic fail on your part "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln

You cant say this But it does make it silly that you were calling Kallend out for having a high carbon footprint. Not at all I am not the one trying to stuff my ideals down his throat Like you do to If you care to go back and pay attention, I have not called him out for having a high carbon footprint I called him out for not walking the talk I bet the same could be said for you Do as you say, not as do! The only one here who I know walks the talk is Bill (except for his skydiving) In the end I really don't care But I call a hypocrite out when I see one Two fails in a row You started this Thursday morning off on a roll "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

And of course you will flip and flop depending on what the temp might be seen it before Why are you so jealous? Not Kallend's fault you are too lazy to afford those things. How do you know I can't afford them? How do you know if I own them now or not?
