That article is terrible. For a start, they have the whole flat earth thing completely backwards. It was a scientific consensus that eventually convinced the ruling (religion based) culture that the earth was round, because of the evidence.

Exactly what is happening now with climate change.

But I'll grant that they certainly have better climate change credentials than anyone here. That doesn't make them right. What would make them right would be publishing a peer reviewed paper with new models and predictions and falsifiable results.

Anyway, a few seconds googling sees them pretty much torn to shreds.

Im' starting think that climate deniers genuinely don't understand the scientific method. It's simple; if there wasn't significant evidence that AGW was happening then it would be torn apart by other scientists. That's what peer review is for.

Blaming me for the destruction of the planet or whatever else seems... looney, at best.

"I've never met one that wasn't, and I know hundreds of scientists."

Send me (privately) the names and numbers of these hundreds of climate scientists and I'll conduct a survey. Or perhaps you should spend your days debating every single person online... Y'know.. for fun.

The authors of this article (both of them meteorology professors) have better climate science credentials than you do. One even served within the climate group that shared the Nobel prize with Al Gore for climate change advocacy.

If you really care about climate change, these are the folks you should be debating.. Not me... And not random people on videosift.

Good luck!

"Messrs. McNider and Christy are professors of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and fellows of the American Meteorological Society. Mr. Christy was a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore.

Raise up to a higher level

From ESPN: Rodman's squad -- featuring ex-All Stars Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson and Vin Baker -- will play against a team of North Koreans on Wednesday, which is believed to be Kim's birthday. The former NBA players, who arrived in Pyongyang on Monday, also include Eric "Sleepy" Floyd, guard Doug Christie and Charles D. Smith, who played for the New York Knicks. Four streetball players also are on the squad.

Dude, get over your labels of racism for fucks' sake, and your dutiful putty mentality of absolute SHIT like "hanging out with a 'black' president and all manner of other cop-out meaningless, self-defeating bullshit like phrases such as, "Well, it COULD be worse." IN-FAN-TILE way of using your mind, a terrible thing to waste. It's this type of opinion formulation that breeds the most vile form of self-delusional ignorance and ineffectual citizenship. Fuck a bush, fuck a clinton, fuck a president, the office means absolutely nothing you imagine it to, as evidenced in your verbiage.

Christy's antics and office are an indication of the most advanced form of mafioso-esque tactics for garnering power, get a fucking clue-

He's a criminal, and Obama an absolute disgraceful insult to the office.

Christie and his ilk deserve their heads on pitons along that bridge they unilaterally shut down-Politics = poison in the, 'parlance of our times.'

Yes Stewart, this DOES make their evil evident and palatable to all fans of playing the game created for cattle.

No one said it was easy being Gov. Chris Christie's personal chef!

We love you Christy (Poison Ivy) Wallace!!

Wonder what this would fetch at Sotheby's or Christie's??? I'd personally like to have one of those John Doe journals they used in Fincher's flick, "Se7en."...That film had some sick-ass whacko-props.

Dude, cops don't have to do any studying after high school-They take their cues from the douchebag procedural playbook of cop stuff...

Way to go, Corpus Christi's finest.

Wow, people have some short memories. He almost did run in 2012, but was basically told Americans wouldn't vote for a fat guy.

And he's definitely a republican...

King and Christie are still grade A assholes.
