Pelosi is a scientist, too! Wow, shat else can she do?
Nancy Pelosi now thinks she is a scientist as well as the Secretary of State and an ambassador. According to myway.com, The misguided Representative from one of the most liberal districts in America said she “saw firsthand evidence that climate change is a reality; there is just no denying it.” Sure there is- it’s called the scientific method.
In typical liberal fashion she blames humanity for the “problem,” whatever that may be. “It wasn’t caused by the people of Greenland - it was caused by the behavior of the rest of the world,” she said, failing to offer any evidence whatsoever that man is responsible for the changes to the environment.
Further, if we are somehow changing the very atmosphere of our planet, a colossal presumption of arrogance as to our own significance, then we’ll adapt. We always have- and we always will.
Fortunately, Bush is still in the White House and any radical and damaging policy to US interests will be vetoed. Still, in two years we could find our economy wrecked by the carelessness and shortsightedness of such liberal policies.

And Jeff O’Bryant is a scientist now too? Wow!
Otherwise his opinion on the issue carries no more weight than Pelosi’s. (Although you couldn’t tell that by the way he attacks her here!)

Forgive me, but there is quite a difference there. Our faithful provider of right hand information does not sway public policy. He merely provides his opinion based on what we all can see.
On the other hand, Nancy Pelosi does have a hand in swaying public policy, and quite a large hand at that. The problem with this very touchy subject is the passing of one sided information as absolute truth, this without an inch or mere glance at the possible alternate explanations. To even go a step past, we have been bombarded to the point in which even entertaining the idea that perhaps the fate of our earth could very easily be just a touch out of our control will get you vilified and labeled as a heathen. I find it naive that we could possibly be so bold as human beings to honestly believe we could alter the makeup of this great planet, one that we haven’t inhabited but perhaps 1/1000000000000…..etc, of the time. Why has no one brought up the distinct possibility that we have a star, our sun, that is in it’s growing stages? How about acknowledging that we do not have all of the information that lines the history of this planet. These are just a couple of possibilities on the other side.
There is not nearly enough impartial research being used right now. The magic word here is “agenda”.

Jeff mocks Pelosi’s opinion because she is not a scientist. Then he turns around and proclaims that man’s impact on our environment is a “colossal presumption of arrogance as to our own significance.” No, the arrogance here is one nonscientist chiding another nonscientist for making a dogmatic scientific statement while making a dogmatic scientific statement of his own. The post is ridiculous for that reason.

Forgive me once again, but I feel as though you may have missed the direction of my original intention.
If I may pose a question….who could cause more damage in terms of their ability to play faux scientist……a just short of extreme right wing polemicist…..or the Speaker of the House?

Your question has absolutely no relevance to the point I made.

On the contrary, it has nothing but relevance….
When Jeff plays scientist, I don’t pay for it.
