Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight

To be fair, the suggested sentence of, "let's paranoid the possibility of peak oil and global warming," is a bit beyond a typo.

As a member of that prestigious group known as "everyone," I take offense to your suggestion that I misuse words. I invite you to find any such misuses and point them out to me.

Why the hell are you derailing this thread with your petty complaints? Really.

Yes, the original topic did stray off, but at least it was legit enough and not ranting on and on about a ridiculous word, one word.

I'll keep your challenge in mind though, just to humor you.

A mod can close this now as far as I'm concerned. No real point in continuing this discussion.

Why am I doing what you already did twice? No, it's three times now. Hmmm, methinks you should find a mirror before you point that finger of yours.

So, yes, why are you derailing this thread with your complaints, DN?

I haven't been ranting on and on about a stupid word for the last three posts, Ford. Grow up.

I could start picking through your posts word by word if that is the way you feel about it.

Here is the sum total of your rant about the word, to which everything since, said by both myself and LeCitron, has been a response. If you're feeling exceedingly picky, you've technically been ranting because someone made a small comment about a word, rather than ranting about the word itself.

As for Global Warming, I'll quickly sum up why I believe what I do, since this thread isn't about that

Actually, it is, because the cash for clunkers program got its start as an enviornmental idea to get dirty cars off the road.

I feel evidence supports that this particular warming is moving faster than in the past and that this acceleration is caused by the emission of fossil fuels.

Few quick notes since i'm short on time:
- There was a 300 year period called the 'little ice age' that ended in the 1850s, so anything coming out of there seems like a significant increase
- NASA revised its data due to flaws, showing 1934 and not the often cited 1998 was the hottest year
- Tempature recording stations, which are suppose to have strict guidelines (not near buildings, in the shade, etc.) are increasingly in violation of said guidelines due to expanding urban areas, so they end up surrounded by asphalt, in the sun, next to exhaust fans, etc. which totaly fuck up numbers yet are counted (there's a great website documenting them but i can't find it again)

Let's ignore the possibility of peak oil and global warming. So we can... save a tiny bit of money and keep doing shit stupidly?

Peak oil's another thing they've been talking about for decades and they keep being wrong (its almost always like 10 years from whatever today's date is). And this isn't a 'tiny' bit of money.

Let's just believe whatever we like despite what the majority of scientists think and industrialized countries treat as a legitimate policy item.

Scientists are just as trendy as every other group in humanity. You either agree with the majority or you suffer for it. On top of that, they're making a crapload off it by tying anything they want to studies based on it. I dont have time to find it now but i've seen a list of truely absurd studies, its like "how global warming affects drunk driving" or "climate change's effects on women in africa". On top of that, nobody continues to invest in studies that don't have some sort of alarmist result.
