NASA Scientist: Climate Change Is a Moral Matter, Like Slavery

So funny, all the pseudo scientists here trying to sound intelligent. I think I will continue to get my science from the real scientists who happen to mostly agree that we are headed for climactic disaster if we do not curtail our carbon intensive addiction. When it really matters and we need to conserve, there are no conservatives willing to participate.

Mr. Toad's wild ride -

"real scientists" of course unnamed and not cited.

I know toad, it must be tough having the cranial capacity of a pea.

hey canetoad
what about in the past when it was colder and there was more CO2 than now?

and when there was less CO2 and it was hotter?

don't let facts bother you?

Funny how the "real" scientists resort to alarmism.

The whole purpose of science is to question everything and the only response from the proponents of global warming is that the skeptics are deniers.

Real science is not based on belief. It is based on evidence.
It doesn't matter who endorses it or says it. Science is based on data

"there are no conservatives willing to participate."

Because conservatives are not stupid enough to make sacrifices that accomplish absolutely nothing.

So conserve carbon yourself- turn off your computer. Turn off your heater, your AC, your TV, your lights and don't drive. Does anyone see a potential problem developing here?

Because I care about the future for all children, I would not hesitate to curtail my lifestyle to ensure a safe climate for them, but I don't need to, my trusty solar panels are providing me with all the electricity I need for my home and car. I buy locally grown produce and purchase carbon credits when I fly. It is possible for every individual to make a difference. Unfortunately there are just too many selfish, short sighted, dim-witted, got to have it all, pseudo conservatives messing up all my good work. Just hope your grandchildren will forgive you.

It is truly amazing to me that conservatives are so often dismissively labeled as "extremists," "radicals," and plain old "crazy," while leftists constantly reward their own for tossing around intellectually cheap and practically deranged statements like this one. No, global warming does not share a moral basis with slavery: slavery is fundamentally, philosophically wrong, while climate change is based on the conflicting claims of a not-personally-disinterested scientific community -- and personally, I think our crushingly unsustainable rate of spending and debt accrual is a much larger travesty for future generations than our energy usage.
