Comments on Reichert vs. the Seattle Times, the Seattle P-I, and Global Warming

I think using the phrase "I have and am investigating" is even worse than being stupid on global warming. The guy's a boob.

I think Darryl's piece on this at Hominid Views says it very well: http://hominidviews.com/?p=552

Funny, I always call people who doubt global warming "flat earthers". They're the ones desparately clutching to an outdated way of viewing the world, vs. those who push the boundaries of knowledge.

If you doubt global warming, you probably doubt the Big Bang theory too.

/* Reichert was very clearly comparing scientists who say global warming is happening to people who once thought the earth was flat */

No, he's trying to dilute the title of "Scientists" by saying they used to think the world was flat. Obviously, there were "Scientists" who did not agree, obtained data by natural means and methods, and supported what we later proved to be very true.

Using his line of thinking, however, supports the SCIENTISTS who are bucking the "flat earth, status quo, church line" that everything is hunky dory. The massive MAJORITY of scientists whose expertise is in the specific area of global weather and temperature are standing up to the "used to" belief that humans have no impact on the earth's weather system.

At what point will he have "All the facts" ? What is the final "fact" he requires before he can suck it up and make a decision?

No scientist ever believed the world is flat. Not in 1492, not in 1492 BC. The roundness of the earth was a very obvious and well-known phenomenon to the ancient Greeks, who were probably the first "scientists". Anyone who's ever seen a ship sail into the horizon can confirm it; the boat disappears before the mast.

Please eat organic sustainable food, and if you have to fly choose and airline that uses biodiesel fuel. If we all do what we can we can prevent global warming.

Kimberly, get your "globes" over here and starting doin' some "warmin'"!

And where the Hell did you put my copy of "Jiggly Jugs"?

This is funny because we all know of at least one journalist who still believes the world is flat! And he also believed we should go into Iraq!

So funny! Anybody wanna guess his name? (hint: initials are TF)
