Thank you for your comment!

I entirely agree with you about the importance of bicycling; it is a great means of transportation!

I also appreciate your disagreement with me on the topic of global warming. Although I entirely disagree with your stand, gentlemanly discussion of political issues is advantageous to both parties involved.

I will attempt to defeat your position and state mine as succinctly and clearly as possible.

Holes In Your Position

- You said that the article I cited has “long been disproved”. Perhaps so, do you have any proof?

- You maintain that past deniers of global warming have now admitted that global warming is a reality. Please kindly supply me with names and statistics.

- You assert that scientists even agree on a man-made cause of global warming. Once again, please present me with proof.

- Although it can be tempting, sarcasm is not necessary… if you have actual evidence. Please replace your useless sarcasm with much-needed proof.

In summary, your statements need proof. A series of vague assertions are of absolutely no value unless solidly backed by true statistics and facts. (Is this based on hear-say or are you perhaps a climate scientist?)

My Position

Resolved…

- that man-made global warming, on the scale claimed by some scientists, is absolutely false. These scientists either knowingly or unknowingly are spreading falsehoods.
- that weather cycles can result in temporary “global warming”, but the same weather cycles also result in “global cooling”.
- that modern scientists do not “agree that global warming is a reality”, nor do they agree that it is man-made.

A Few Useful Resources
This is my proof…

- A Telegraph.co.uk article on global warming (Dec. 2008)
- A John Birch Society article (Jan. 2009)
- An interesting article about India’s climate position (July 2009) (Note New York’s record low temperatures.)

Your English Usage Correction

Thank you for your correction of my English usage! The word I used in that case was incorrect, and it is now updated.

However, if you are interested in discussing English, you might wish to speak with your English professor about proper punctuation. Your short comment is missing no less than three comas and includes one misplaced modifier and one missing word.

Thanks again for your comment. As long as gentlemanly courtesy is strictly maintained, I see no reason why we could not exchange two or three comments here on the topic of global warming cooling.

Thanks,
Nate

The article (Feb 2007) you point to on Global Warming is wrong and has long been disproved. Today even past global warming deniers have to admit that global warming is a reality. They have even given in on it being mostly caused by human activities. Now the deniers argue is that it is not as bad as scientist say. They have been so right in the past so we should listen to them now. (sarcasm)

Please get educated on global warming and stop spreading the oil and coal industries lies.

BTW: You may want to ask your English professor about the use of the word disproved as disproven is not a word.

I wish we had better bike laws here in the US. From what I have heard, here the bicyclist is often assumed to be at fault. However, the bicycle laws are getting better.

Thanks,
Nate

Than being said I do own a motorcycle… Everything within 5 miles or so is done by bicycle, the rest with the motorcycle.

My first year in college we weren’t allowed to have cars (or at least park on campus). Looking back this was one of the coolest years. I rode my bike more, walked more, and in general just enjoyed the outdoors more!
