Who is taking anything as dogma? What is your definition of dogma?
I have repeatedly stated that Anthropogenic Climate Change is a THEORY. PERIOD. It is not the bible it was not handed down from on high written on stones.
It is purely a good theory because it predicts changes that are happening, as confirmed by a decades-long study by scientists around the world.
Yes, it makes wrong predictions; yes, it changes its predictions over time - that is why it is called a theory, not a fact.
As far as humor goes, tread lightly on humor. I am willing to bet MOST of the posts here are not intended to be humous and, in fact, reflect people's beliefs and affect how they vote.
How people vote on this issue affects the lives of our children and our grandchildren if the theory is correct.
If it is wrong, it affects YOUR and MINE pocketbooks and leaves a cleaner, healthier world for our descendants.
So, yeah, unless stated as humor, I take this issue very seriously, deadly seriously. The world will not end, as many of the deniers like to claim we say, and we don't. But, life as we know it very well might. Literally, billions of lives are at stake. In a situation with lives at risk, I prefer to err on the side of caution and not on the side of personal beliefs.
Read the annual Defense Department assessment of Climate Change in the annual security report to the president. Climate Change has, for over a decade, been listed among the highest threats to our national security
But, then, who listens to the defense department? They are just stupid leftist, crazy fantasy believers.
