If you don't have the ability to source or cite the information you have presented to me, then I don't have to regard it as anything more than your opinion... and thus don't need to refute it. End of story. And I once again reiterate that you have no legitimate claim to be taken seriously by me until you resciend your Holocaust denier comparison. That, too, is the end of the story.Incidentally,

But first, I will answer your question. Carbon Dioxide is heavier than air. In fact if its released in large quantities it will not mix with air and form carbon sinks at low elevations. It is normally found in air in trace proportions, mixing by energy transfer- or motion. The release of excess carbon by fossil fuel burning and deforestation has caused carbon loading in the atmosphere. Because

I don't need to source the information I am putting on here. I got A's in all the climate classes I took. And all of the concepts I have explained to you are not the least bit controversial in the academic community. You wan't to say that certain scientists that refute global warming have an argument against it. The problem is you don't know enough about it yourself to say what that argument is.

However, jonny, the one making a claim bears the burden of proof. Thus, it isn't my responsibility to prove that I'm educated but your responsibility to prove that your sources say what you claim.Oddly enough, I've not listened to Sean Hannity in over 8 months and the only comment that Rush has really made on the subject is that it's absurd to believe that we, who cannot even accurately predict

Your right I put it in the wrong blog by accident!Anyway I'll copy most of my response here but we can take this back over there if you want. You want me to CITE my statements. Give me a break. I couldn't nake this stuff up and blogging to you is not the same as wrighting a research paper. The scientific evidence I have given is true. I know it because I have studied it, and written reearch

...didn't the last comment in this conversation take place in a different blog entry? But nevermind.I'm certain that you're more knowledgable than you were before you took the class (at least I would hope so) although much more knowledgable in relation to me is something for which you bear the burden of proof.As to the rest, you seem to presuppose that I'm not already basing my conclusions on

Keith, I am not trying to insult your intelligence. What I am saying is that having taken those classses was a real eye opener for me. Therefore, yes, I am much more knowlegable on the issue. (Even though I am a terrible speller)But, since having made my case here doesn't convince you I am encouraging you to educate yourself and then draw your own conclusion based on scientific facts and

I totally respect you, iknowhowtospell, but your citations don't have anything to do with your point. In the first instance, the "federal government" approved this $600 million expenditure. While the blogger ties this to the Bush administration, "the federal government" could just as easily mean some senator or congressman with enough clout to lean on HUD. The Bush administration is emphatically

The Final Fool award should go to THE DRIVE BY LIBERAL MEDIAFor giving Barack Hussein (Liberals think he's JESUS) Obama a total pass up until recently. Even Liberal Saturday Night Live is not on the Obama bandwagon.The New York Times and even KATU 2 should be included in this for thinking that Operation Chaos was a Joke. Its no Joke. KATU 2 your the Jokeeeee.

I preface these with the caveat that I'm not an expert on the finer points of all of these, but a rough sampling of samples might include these two:$600 Million diverted from Katrina housing to pay for ... state owned casino and resort facilities.Audit: U.S. lost track of $9 billion in Iraq fundsThese might not quite fit the bill of "personal enrichment" the way the Ward case does, but the bottom

Perhaps that's true... in fact, it probably is. But my point in bringing up Marc Rich was in response to your comment that stealing money for his own enrichment is something that would be an achievement admired by the Bush administration's standards. I think that's a false statement and I brought up Marc Rich as an example of a presidential administration demonstrably taking a bribe. If you have

I'm not going to forgive Bill Clinton for his mistakes either (he made lots). I've stated repeatedly here, for the record, that I feel Clinton was far from perfect. I have absolutely no illusion that he was the greatest guy ever.But yes, you're correct in that we can't include it here because it was seven-plus years ago. There's this claim of "intellectual honesty" that some, like Victoria

You're right, iknowhowtospell, in that theft and personal enrichment would be admired by a presidential administration. You're just about 7 years and change off... remember pardoning Marc Rich for a large campaign contribution? Seems an order of magnitude MORE unscrupulous since a Democratic president pardoned a criminal for money. But that's years ago so we can't include it in the Final Fool

I thought you might mention Christopher Ward, the former treasurer for the National Republican Congressional Committee, but I guess not.I guess stealing a million dollars from the GOP and putting it into his own account is more of an achievement to be admired than anything else, by this administration's standards.
