Anyone who wants to flush their money. Go right ahead. Politicians want to force me to flush mine, screw them

to hell with humanity.

See this is where we differ, this is funny as hell. They're scaring the money and freedom right out of ya.

At least use the full quote, don't be selective...

As long as you and your money are ok, to hell with humanity. What would the Lord make of your selfishness?

Sometimes I wonder if they create ways to make people spend money in order to keep the financial snowball in motion. Because if that snowball stops or shrinks, this fragile economy would collapse.

Okay the Lord would be glad that I see the false prophets for what they are.

There is actually an argument that says because nobody goes to church anymore and therefore huge swathes of the population cannot be controlled or frightened in the traditional psuedo-catholic way, Global Warming is indeed the new scaremongering control tactic and the environmental movement is just a load of hot air...hmmm, food for thought

You're actually now starting to sound like the 'prophets' all lined up and trying to outdo each other in Life of Brian...

Please read closer before you post something like this. This very thing has been said by people on both sides more than once throughout this thread.

I think he's referring to RaiderFan's general attitude that he doesn't believe we have anything to do with with manmade GW, so to hell with it, he ain't gonna change his habits.

ONE of the world's foremost meteorologists has called the theory that helped Al Gore share the Nobel Peace Prize "ridiculous" and the product of "people who don't understand how the atmosphere works".

Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, told a packed lecture hall at the University of North Carolina that humans were not responsible for the warming of the earth.

His comments came on the same day that the Nobel committee honoured Mr Gore for his work in support of the link between humans and global warming.

"We're brainwashing our children," said Dr Gray, 78, a long-time professor at Colorado State University. "They're going to the Gore movie [An Inconvenient Truth] and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."

At his first appearance since the award was announced in Oslo, Mr Gore said: "We have to quickly find a way to change the world's consciousness about exactly what we're facing."

Mr Gore shared the Nobel prize with the United Nations climate panel for their work in helping to galvanise international action against global warming.

But Dr Gray, whose annual forecasts of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes are widely publicised, said a natural cycle of ocean water temperatures - related to the amount of salt in ocean water - was responsible for the global warming that he acknowledges has taken place.

However, he said, that same cycle meant a period of cooling would begin soon and last for several years.

"We'll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realise how foolish it was," Dr Gray said.

During his speech to a crowd of about 300 that included meteorology students and a host of professional meteorologists, Dr Gray also said those who had linked global warming to the increased number of hurricanes in recent years were in error.

He cited statistics showing there were 101 hurricanes from 1900 to 1949, in a period of cooler global temperatures, compared to 83 from 1957 to 2006 when the earth warmed.

"The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to have a major effect on global temperatures," Dr Gray said.

He said his beliefs had made him an outsider in popular science.

"It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against something they know is wrong," he said. "But they also know that they'd never get any grants if they spoke out. I don't care about grants."

And tomorrow night on Amazing Stories we learn how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

Actually, it's goat's bladders. Seemingly a small distiction, but perhaps the key to saving the universe.

Finally, something I believe you have some credibility in. The inner and intimate workings of sheep.
