Okay, if Avery is funded by Monsanto, Exxon, etc. and that makes his
position questionable and information suspect, help me understand who
finances Mr. Gore's position and how he does or doesn't benefit
financially from his writing, speaking and movie making? Any idea how
much his speaking fee is?
Real logical fallacy on your part, Bridget, but what the heck most
every tenet of the global warming deniers is based on a lala land
view of the world and the ability to deny what they see with their
own eyes and instead enjoy falling back on a number of logical
fallacies such as attacking straw men (and woman).
Here's a few easy steps to finding out if you are a pod person
(someone who lives in a pod, no doubt air-conditioned, where they
never look at or consider the real world) and instead are global
warming deniers.
Are you denying the objective data showing the world's temperatures
are getting warmer?
Are you denying the objective data that the world's ice packs are
rapidly disappearing?
Are you denying the data showing the effects of burning massive
amounts of coal?
Are you denying the effect of humans running hundreds of millions of
atmospheric heaters (automobile engines) each and every day?
Are you denying the objective data that thew world is significantly
warmer where humans exist in concentration (cities) as opposed to
where they aren't as concentrated?
Are you denying that the human population has doubled in our (well at
least my) lifetime with the concomitant increase in heating, food
production, transportation, clothing, housing needs?
Are you denying the millions of tons of exhaust from the massive
engines needed to transport the millions of large aircraft that are
in the worlds skies at any moment?
Are you denying the effect of the hundreds of millions of tons human
biological waste that are dumped into the worlds oceans and rivers
every hour?
Are you denying the effect of human activity that that modifies the
worlds ecosystem by covering soil with asphalt, concrete and other
non water absorbing materials and instead of the water being absorbed
into the soil and then evaporated back into the air it now runs off
through drainage systems into rivers where it is deposited into the
salt laden oceans?
And those are only a few of the engines of global warming so instead
of denying your own eyes lets start thinking about what can be done
to not pollute our own nest.
(I imagine the argument that says that Avery is funded by the oil and
coal industry besides being based on objective truth is the complete
amazement on the part of some people wondering how anyone can be as
silly as Avery and his cohorts are in their arguments. Their thoughts
must run something like 'no one can really be as stupid and mindless
as Avery appears to be.' Instead they assume he's not a moron and
that he is in the pay of the people making money out of pollution.
Me, I think he's really that dumb. I think he really believes the
childish gibberish that comes out of his mouth and word processor.
My question, though, is: are the people that print his stuff also
that stupid? or are they along for the ride looking for a good laugh
to see if anyone out there will actually take what he says seriously.
I think his writings are a real roar, sort of on the lines of The
Onion).
