Arguing with a wall isn't arguing with me.  It might be similar, but it can't argue back

I've known walls that make more rational arguments than you. :)

this was a pretty good insult
I laughed
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Back to the original topic, here's a good discussion about global climate change:
http://www.cbc.ca/technology/quirks-blog/2008/02/cold_climate_dont_be_fooled.html

I especially like this line, "Mistaking weather for climate is a common tactic used by those who deny climate change, who say: 'I don't see any global warming.' What this really shows is narrow- minded, shortsighted thinking." :)

And isn't mistaking climate change for a disaster pretty bad, too?

Maybe, but recognizing the potential it has to cause disaster is important, which is what we're trying to point out.  You seem to have missed that the last few times, though.

Recognizing the potential isn't the same as "don't eat meat because it kills us all."  That's what iago has been saying, you've been reasonable about it, it seems.

I agree with Sidoh, I don't believe Global Warming is an non-issue.

I'm starting to wonder if you're just trolling, or if you really are that dumb...

Pretty hard to tell, isn't it?

I'd opt for the latter, but I might just be so good at the former that I come off like Joe, err, dumb, err ... yeah

Hate to break it to you, but between you and Joe, there's no contest. :P
