The predictive power of the global warming lunatics’ computer generated climate models must be put to the test in the same way.

The greenies should make some medium-to-long-term predictions, predictions that can be either verified or falsified, and then stand by them and be willing to have their theory judged on the merits of its ability to accurately determine future climate conditions, or else STFU.

Lindorkk should STFU, regardless. His lack of seriousness is an affront to journalism.

He also wrote a book about Mumia.

This guy is almost beyond parody. He’s the stereotype lefty loony come alive.

Dear Editors,

This article by Dave Lindorff is the most contemptuous opinion piece I have ever read in my life – something I thought could only be found in the pages of a Michael Crichton novel. There is no compassion in Mr. Lindorff’s words for those millions of lives that will be imperiled by his doomsday scenario. There is no attempt to grieve for the children who by no fault of their own are born into the areas of America he describes. Instead, there is gloating. Gloating over the deaths of the conservative elderly. Gloating over the deaths of the conservatives in the Midwest farming communities. Gloating over the demise of American lands and citizens for the good of the Left.

According to Mr. Lindorff, when the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free migrate to the Utopian lands of the Left, they are not to be greeted with open arms and golden lamps but with reprimands and the bitter condemnation of the Left “on the higher ground both actually and figuratively.” To those who complain, they will recieve a heartfelt “Shut up. We told you this would happen.” How deplorable.

To remain silent in the face of such political malice is to abdicate my rights in a cloud of apathy. I cannot be so busy in my life that I allow such hateful sentiments to remain unchallenged. Silence in this case is approval. Most Americans, such as myself, are a little to the right or left of the middle. We must raise our voices as loudly as Mr. Lindorff’s so that there is balance.

There is much evidence to the contrary in regards to anthropogenic Global Warming theories, such as CO2 levels follow rises in temperature as opposed to inducing them, that cloud cover in tandem with solar cycles cause warming conditions, and that “Global Warming” per se is not global at all but regional and often linked to urban areas that are heavily developed (where the temperature stations reside). There is ample evidence to show that the changes we see about us have been going on for centuries on this glorious planet, such as organic matter and ancient mining communities revealed in the receding snows. Alarmism has replaced activism in the fight against pollution and the ravaging of our lands. Science has taken a back seat to politics.

What cannot be disputed is that Mr. Lindorff’s opinion piece displays* an unkindly attitude towards his fellow man, and a self-righteousness that is every bit as ugly as that found in the most extremely religious Far Right. Mr. Lindorff may have the right to voice his opinion, but he should be ashamed for having done so.

Fortunately I live on the Mississippi River bluff and so I’m about 900 feet above current sea level. Rising sea levels drown the Left and East coasts. And the downside is….??

More liberal whining while conservatives grin and bear outpouring more of our money to the very liberals who hate us with a passion and liken us to backwards troglodytes, but naturally aren’t too proud to take our money.

Think NOLA only include the populations of Boston, NYC, Seattle, Portland, Atlanta, Miami, etc.

I bet if it happens under a Democrat they will still blame the policies of George W. Bush 40 years previous.

The sad part is conservatives will open their homes and their wallets again, and we’ll be hated and spit on again, and all we’ll get from our liberal betters at the end is “we told you so.”

(I wasn’t worried about nuclear winter yesterday, but it seems very real today.)

Oh MY!
