Newspaper desperate for Monday headline runs story that Rotarians are safe backing the the dinosaur on climate change
"I'm with stupid" says the look on Charlotte Comrie photo: Guardian
Rotarians are treated to a weekly dose of inane speakers. Real smart people do not apply. It might wake up the sleepers two tables from the podium.
Chemist Ian McQueen arguing that pollution and global warming is good for us must be up there for all time record of dumb presentations to the Fossil Club of Charlottetown.
Mr. Deer-in-the-Headlights has spent the enormous sum of 4,000 hours studying global warming and Al Gore’s nose hairs. “I’ve counted them all,” McQueen proclaims with the air of an h’expert. “I’ve counted them all. Al Gore has 39 nose hairs and facial flaws,” he says in a hide-bound defense of chemicals in our atmosphere.
“The world is behaving quite normally as it always has, and CO2 is a harmless and useful gas,” McQueen told Rotarians. Hard to top that level of expertise.
Rotarians are trotting out McQueen as their argument against Earth Day. Never accuse Rotary of being against the status quo.
Must be Summer Student Days at the Charlottetown Guardian to run with that story. The Monday morning headline is last Monday’s snorer at the Rotary Club. The story was dead the moment it happened. Published a week later its filler.

I don’t know who Stephen Pate is. But, Stephen, your comment is so childish that one wonders if you are able to tie your shoelaces unaided.
Let me give you some advice. If you disagree with the point of view of someone, it does your side no good whatever to attack the person. That’s know as an ad hominem argument, and it’s only for losers. If there is something about the science that I pointed out, feel free to bring up intelligent arguments AGAINST THE SCIENCE. You won’t be able to because everything that I said is true and can be backed up with facts. Yours is typical of the approach taken by warmists- attack the messanger because you can’t attack the message.
Some day, we hope, you will realize that the anthropogenic global warming story is pure fiction and that you have been played for a sucker (by Al Gore, among others). But I won’t laugh at you. I feel sorry for you now, and I hope that you will realize the truth before your government implements big taxes on everything, taxes that accomplish absolutely nothing regarding the climate but which will impoverish you and everyone else in Canada and other countries that implement it.
Best regards.

Adding we have a mature, ad hominem attack from the gentleman who wants the planet warmer

Stephen-
I don’t really know how to interpret your comment. But I am not going to lose any sleep over it!
Let me ask, do you really want a colder climate than we have now? Do you really want to see agriculture cut back by a shortened growing season? Do you want to have to use more energy to heat your house…..and to pay more for that energy because of the increased taxes on it?
Another question. Where in the world do you think it is warming now? I mean warming that isn’t accounted for by ocean currents like the PDO, AMO, ENSO, the many wind patterns, and the normal variability of weather / climate.
I am sure that you mean well, but unless you are willing to spend a LOT of time reading, you will be fair game for the warmist alarmists like Al Gore, David Suzuki, and others who are talking out of semi-religious conviction (or from planned financial gain), not from knowledge.

I just looked up from tying my shoe laces and there is another comment from Mr. Chemistry Set
Ian L. McQueen
“Mr. Chemistry Set”
A perfect example of the ad hominem attack. Stephen, if you expect to be taken seriously, you will learn to attack the ideas, not the person presenting the ideas. I know that what I have said and written about “climate” can be defended, so I am not at all concerned by your puerile (check your dictionary) efforts to belittle someone who is poking holes in your treasured belief. Belief without reason is the province of religion, and “religion” is the only word that adequately describes the persistent belief in gloom and doom from “global warming”. Oops, the world stopped warming a dozen years ago. Change that to “climate change”. That’s a safe term, for the world’s climate has always changed.
Stephen, may I suggest that you spend some of your time educating yourself. Read wattsupwiththat daily and climateaudit whenever he puts up a new posting.
