lol, chomsky is smart enough to know that if he speaks freely of the global warming scam, he would be shunned by mainstream media. he said there was overwhelming scientific consensus, 9000, lol, wrong normy, most of them are not scientists and those who are, are not climatologists, where as 35000 disagreed with warming were, but i know he knows, but hes afraid to speak out because he knows or was warned of what it meant. the old norm would have. a great mind like him could be got at.
noam chomsky should know better than to make an analogy like the “man eating tiger” analogy he made… it sounds like the same kind of overstatement that pundits on news networks he’s opposed to would make… usually he’s more reserved than this and i respect him for that.
this guy is so good his speeches are like poetry
I just get it – WHY arent all the smart ppl like Chomsky in as leaders??? I mean BUSH – really?
As for Global warming – all that said ETS or carbon tax is NOT the answer as it doesnt change behaviour! I mean look at what BP has done ? thats the problem BIG corporations and their criminal ways of operation!
By that and all the rites of knighthood else, will I make good against thee, arm to arm, what I have spoke, or thou canst worse devise. Look, what I speak, my life shall prove it true; I say and will in battle prove, or here or elsewhere to the furthest verge that ever was survey’d by English eye, that all the treasons for these eighteen years complotted and contrived in this land fetch from false Chomsky their first head and spring.
Which to maintain I would allow him odds, and meet him, were I tied to run afoot even to the frozen ridges of the Alps, or any other ground inhabitable, where ever Englishman durst set his foot. Mean time let this defend my loyalty, by all my hopes, most falsely doth he lie. Pale trembling coward, there I throw my gage, which fear, not reverence, makes thee to except. If guilty dread have left thee so much strength As to take up mine honour’s pawn, then stoop:
Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal: ‘Tis not the trial of a woman’s war, the bitter clamour of two eager tongues, can arbitrate this cause betwixt us twain; the blood is hot that must be cool’d for this: Which else would post until it had return’d these terms of treason doubled down his throat. Setting aside my high blood’s royalty, I do defy him, and I spit at him; call him a slanderous coward and a villain:
Now, Chomsky, do I turn to thee, and mark my greeting well; for what I speak my body shall make good upon this earth, or my divine soul answer it in heaven. Thou art a traitor and a miscreant, too good to be so and too bad to live, since the more fair and crystal is the sky, the uglier seem the clouds that in it fly. Once more, the more to aggravate the note, with a foul traitor’s name stuff I thy throat; and wish, ere I move, what my tongue speaks my right drawn sword may prove.
chomsky is boring
Always the American Republicans spitting out the “global warming is a scam thing”.
David Suzuki once challenged anyone in the world to show him one credible scientist (who was not funded by a right wing religious organization), who disagreed with the evidence on global warming.
Nobody has found one yet………
This man is an INTERnational treasure
Manifest treason! Has spoken like a traitor, and shall answer as traitors do. Therefore lay hold of him; bear him to the rock Tarpeian, and from thence into destruction cast him. He shall be thrown down the Tarpeian rock with rigorous hands: he hath resisted law, and therefore law shall scorn him further trial than the severity of the public power which he so sets at nought. AEdiles, seize him!
A short term string of lowering temperatures is not the issue with climate change. The issue is the trend line over a longer period of time. Data fluctuate; that’s a given. The “story” with climate change is the long term trend; not some short term abberation. Climate is defined by the long term trend. Characterizing climate is done by statistically averaging weather; the cumulative pattern of weather over decades & centuries.
Calculating a regression line is a basic statistical operation.
I wish I could ask him about the implications for the third world or developing country’s, Who are basically being asked to sell, their very small energy resourses and progress down the river in exchange for our ‘clean energy’
hhmm sounds like usual debt based western policies with a new green makeover to me..
Make no mistake If the ‘majority’ of scientists and appeasing polititians have their way.. Millions of people will die in poorer countrys… as a result of this hoax..
makesmesick
you have no clue, global warming is a scam. the relation between CO2 and warming is causal, but there is a lot of evidence that it is a reversed causal relation, which is a big difference…
What I meant by that, was that the change is hardly affected by man-intervention. I’ve spoken to real doctors and real scientists about this. Not sure if you’re still on a Gore High.
mrcarlos: Would you say, that 100ppm alcohol in your blood wouldn not change your perception and ability to drive a car? If you think that small amount of substances or contributions are neglectable, than take a gun and pull the trigger. You will understand, that 0,00001% of energy of the bullet (moving your finger) will release 100% of energy. You do not understand how the climate works and what it needs to change a bit. A bit is enough for mass extiction.
lancedboyle: So you is a meteorologist and geologist with peer-reviewed publications and finding? Or is you stating this just because its a fashion (like UFOs, Illuminati, etc.)? The way you presented your statement makes me believe that you lack competence to make such a statement. But you may provide facts (that means data) to backup what youre saying.
Never heard of a nut-job doctor? Point here is, evidence can be disproved. The evidence against global warming is now defeating the idea of human intervention. We are going through natural cycles here. This isn’t to say we shouldn’t move away from fossil fuels, we should. We could build an entire new industry, creating a huge number of jobs and boosting the economy. The U.S. economy will recover.
That is untrue. The extent of research for global warming was done on a few tree’s in Siberia. We are on a cooling planet and we are seeing natural cycles take place. Human intervention is hardly accelerating it, less than 5%.
ONe thing is certain.. end or NOT:. were all in this together….
THE WORLD WILL have the same faith.
A handful of UK scientists said they tried to cover up a few facts…..probably in order to prevent people from jumping on to the one piece of contradictory evidence they had been waiting for and lapping it up (ignoring the overwhelming mountain of evidence in the opposite camp).
The scientific community still understands that we are causing and exacerbating global warming.
Even if global warming isn’t being accelerated by the industrial world, the entire world has a vested interest in moving away from fossil fuels. They are finite and unsustainable, and create an unstable international environment between producing countries and consuming countries.
it was a big fraud Noam,they made it up good to see that you were suckered like a lot of us.
I agree with Noam on the massive gap between public policy and public opinion and the need to make the system more democratic and have in fact, in my profile description a summary of how to have real democracy.
