You brought Marc Morano, former “Rush Limbaugh’s Man In Washington”, and producer of Limbaughs TV show into the thread, not me. Plus you linked to him uncritically, without questioning a single word he said, when it would have taken 3 mouse clicks to discover that his lead story was horseshit.
Funny how the critical thinking vanishes sometimes, isn’t it?

Actually, again, no I don't IGNORE it. I look at it and decide for myself, no different than any other person who reads a warning label or looks at a risky activity and decides for themselves if the risk is worth the involvement.
Again, I'll state that I don't find that humans are responsible for causing global warming. The trends of Ice Ages and retreats show that they have been happening without human intervetion for millenia. Could humans be contributing to it? Sure, that could be LIKELY, but again, I don't think that humans are CAUSING it.
Hey, I'm glad you are right. So far you've not explained your critical thinking, and how you've arrived at your acceptance. You've just stated you accept it. Good job with the critical thinking!
As far as the continued harping on the dittohead portion, I already explained that I did not do the due diligence of looking at the author, the site of the original publishing, etc. etc. etc. I'm not sure what I was doing at that particular moment, but I again explained that I didn't have the time. Again, you'd like to continue to be condescending towards someone who is still posting and responding to you, you have that right. But what inadvertently happens is that the person tends to get tired of such discussion, and no longer posts which I believe is why the politics posting community has thinned out to where it is now.
