oh yes 'verbeer', twenty years of free taxpayers money in the form of government grants, and there is nothing to show for it. no accountability, no freedom of information for the taxpayers, no proof whatsoever, nothing. it must be great to be a 'climate scientist' free money for a lifetime. yes 'verbeer', it is insane and obscene.

Yes, but you will find that 70+% of the posts are from no more than four or five lunatics. Earthling, BrianG, etc.

Your command simple arithmetic is about as good as your general knowledge, Mr Undoubtably Spelt Fourty, appalling.
Some examples:
Forty is spelt with a U
Etymology is not a serious subject
Deforestations is a consequence of AGW
Epistemologists compile dictionaries
Epystemologists compile dictionaries
Samuel Johnson was an American
Ice calving is restricted by size
Spelt is only an ancient grain
The equator doesn't have season
Cars can be charged with road collisions
Vikings didn't know how to live in a warmer Greenland
How much heat you are transferring at one time has NO relationship to the temperature of any objects
Alberta is a country
New Moore island is in the MOUTH of the several rivers
Insects and plants don't qualify as species
Enercon install offshore wind generators
Scientific laws are not science
Climate and weather are not 'linked'
Predictions are for astrologers
Ethanol is a very workable and effective solution
AGW is just the warming of the global average surface temperature due to GHGs
AGW is the global average
The science says that human emissions are responsible for MOST of AGW, which has SOME unknown but significant part of climate change
The IPCC report of 2001 and 2007 clearly show that GHGs are by far the largest contributor but not the exclusive contributor to AGW
America has two political parties
Climate and weather are not 'linked'
'nondenier' is a real word
Fruiting plants are especially chosen by bees for, "polination"
We acted on CFCs in the 70s
CO2 is not vital for life on planet Earth.
CO2 causes, "thermal pollution"
CO2 is a 'thermal pollutant'
CO2 levels are rising faster than the temperature can react
AGW is comparable to the Holocaust
Please show this 'ararmist club' and membership list.
And theory is the endpoint of science.
The 'unproven' stuff is 'hypothesis'.
The fact that all the scientific authorities confirm AGW as theory means that it IS science fact as defined.
There are no 'laws of science'
Scientific laws are NOT science
the science isn't going to change
While the science doesn't change rapidly it does change
And nowhere is there 'skepticism' of the science
Experiment is NOT science
Experiment can only give you data. It cannot PROVE anything

Really. A defensive gun used by a civilian?
<quoted text>
Well that is not an example. I fully support use of force by POLICE officers who know how and when to shoot and are alway 'carrying'.
The point is that for most civilians, the risk of guns and accidental death is several times the chance of it coming in handy in a defense against violence.
Care to prove that it is far more dangerous for someone to carry a gun for defense than not? Or is that just a personal belief?

Also, what makes you think that the police are any better trained than some of the people who are carrying. That includes ex-police officers, military, ex-military not to mention all those others who train often just for the fun of it.

I agree, some conceal and carry individuals are quite competent. It is the others who frighten me a little. Are more citizens killed by bad guys shooting them or by gun accidents?

I think the statistics show a clear danger from the US style 'gun culture'.

Let us compare real countries with and without your US 'gun culture' since it tends to invade EVERY aspect of life from rates of violent crime to 'accidental deaths'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_ci ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Canada

Murder rate per 100,000 in Canada = 1.9 (homicide, includes murder)
Murder rate per 100,000 in the US = 54.2
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in ...
10,632 murders per 196,260,987 = 54.17 per 100,000

At least we don't believe in Magic Gas,

Magic Math,

Magic Treemomiturs.

Apparently your stupid a## does.

WHY IS IT that NO ONE YOU KNOW

realizes a TREE is not a TREEMOMITUR

and you can't CALCULATE DOOMSDAY with SCRAWLS that make HOCKEY STICKS from CALIBRATION DATA

using FAKE DATA from FAKE TREEMOMITURS?

Why?

WHY HAVEN'T YOU SEEN THE STUNNING IDIOCY of YOUR ENTIRE CHURCH'S MOVEMENT having had it SHOWN to you

for TEN YEARS
that THE MATH and FAKE TREEMOMITURS are a S.C.A.M?

Because YOU are EDUCATED in a PUBLIC SCHOOL SOMEWHERE.

Climate change is the Fear Machine’s pit bull and Libs are the leash. Meanwhile, the entire world of SCIENCE and Liberalism and journalism had allowed bank-funded and corporate-run “CARBON TRADING STOCK MARKETS” to trump 3rd world fresh water relief, starvation rescue and 3rd world education for just over 26 years of insane attempts at climate CONTROL. Nice job girls.
And now you Libs condemn the voter’s children to the greenhouse gas ovens and expect us to vote for you?“Vote Liberal or Green or your kids will die a CO2 he!!”? Now who’s the fear mongering, bible thumping neocon eh?
-“Socialist” Canadian voters voted in a prime minister accused of being a climate change denier to a majority government no less!
-The Occupywallstreet movement is the leading edge of progressivism and does not support “anything” about CO2 (bank funded carbon trading stock markets)
-“Socialist” Canada killed Y2Kyoto.
-Obama has not mentioned a climate crisis in two state of the unions.
Climate change could keep progressives out of power for a decade or more. The Fear Machine is out of gas and you can’t love a planet with fear.

Wrong question.

The proper question to ask is, "Are more citizens victimized by bad guys assaulting them, robbing them, shooting them, stabbing them, beating them, purse-snatching them, carjacking them, or other crimes than are injured by gun accidents?

The stats are pretty clear here.

And every time a police officer shoots themselves when cleaning a weapon worries me. I know that in the local area it is the bad guys killing and injuring more than accidents. One example is a little girl who managed to survive being shot in the neck during a gang shoot out.
