Oh.
My.
God.
Is she actually comparing CO2 to nuclear waste? Seriously? Never mind smog or acid rain, which is stupid enough on its own, but nuclear waster?!?

How can these people still call themselve scientists? Anyone who spouts this sort of drivel cannot be believed in anything they say.

Dr. Susan Solomon is old enough to remember this. Shame on her for hyperbole– Irreversible? Ha ha ha ha… yeah, right… Full nuclear war would cool the planet almost immediately. Regardless whether nuclear war is desirable or not, it WOULD reverse the supposedly ‘irreversible’ gullible warming, so her statements stand as clear attempts to dishonestly scare the Dickens out of the yokels.

I’ve presented one way to reverse the supposedly irreversible- and again, whether you like or don’t like the solution, it still IS a solution that would work. So imagine what we could come up with if we sat down anytime in that 1,000 years and brainstormed until we arrived at a workable solution. I am just highly ashamed that an American scientist would even make such a chock-full-of-hyperbole statement.

Of course it was about 12,000 years ago (but it seems like just yesterday) Ogg was saying to Grog, as they were standing at the southern end of the Des Moines Lobe, “You know, Grog, the earth must be warming up because every year our glacier gets smaller. I think it is our campfires that are causing this. If we don’t stop using fire, this warming may become irreversible. It might last TEN THOUSAND years or longer!” Grog thought about that for a minute, then he replied, “Well Ogg, you’ve heard the songs of our tribal History-Chanter. His songs contain several verses about past warming and subsequent cooling and further subsequent warming. It seems like it is a natural cyle for our land to freeze, then warm, then freeze again.” Ogg nevertheless maintained the frantic we-got-to-do-something-now! look on his face. He spent the rest of his life wandering from village to village trying to warn people that if they didn’t stop using fire, dire consequences would result.

Years later Ogg died alone in the lush tropical forests just outside of modern-day TwentyNine Palms, California. He insisted to his dying day that if people didn’t stop using fire, the Earth would continue to warm and many lush tropical places would become deserts. As we know now, man continued to use ‘fire’; the Earth continued to warm for more than 10,000 years; and lush tropical forested areas became deserts.

What do you say to people who readily admit that the Earth naturally goes through heating-up and cooling-down cycles all by itself– but then look you straight in the face and plaintively cry, “But this time, it’s OUR fault!”?

I’m a Grog: How about you?
