| Because they really don't agree on much. Some deny global warming is happening at all, others claim the sun is causing it, some say that it's happening and is at partially due to human causes but that it's a good thing. They put forth contradictory theory after contradictory theory and unproven sta... |

| He has this great way of finding new perspectives on old information. Also he's very readable, and explains things clear, clean and easy. You can find links to all 5 sections Here Good find. A little dramatic at times, but the argument made and evidence that's presented is very compelling. The amaz... |

| "Anyway, these people are deniers." Why not call them "agreers"? They all agree that global warming is a scam don't they. "I know that because I started looking into global warming because I didn't believe it either." In my case the reverse is true. I used to believe th... |

| This is a modern day version of the Inquisition. Canada should tell the USA to fuck off and die in exactly those words. The "War on (some) Drugs" is a scam, designed to create high drug prices across the board and insure there is a "problem" in need of government a funded solution which means a few ... |

| "Leading global warming deniers ..." Resorting to slander does not make for a reasoned argument. "The free-market public policy think tank received nearly $800,000 from ExxonMobil between 1998 and 2005. Board members of the Heartland Institute include Thomas Walton, director of Econom... |

| "That way it's officially registered that you took the time to go to vote, but had nobody you thought was worth voting for." Interesting idea, but will Elections Canada (EC) publish stats on those who chose to show up but declined to vote? The problem with ballot spoiling (and declining) i... |

| That's it right there, isn't it? You don't have one, and you don't want one. No, I prefer not to speculate about an event for which there likely can be no definitive answer. The 8 theories in circulation seem to be good enough, but perhaps someone more clever than the rest will come up with somethi... |

| Dr Caleb wrote: "Guess that's why I was too lazy to put my X inside the []. Messed that ballot up real good." I always recommend that if you wish to make a protest vote against all of the parties, DO NOT spoil the ballot because spoiled ballots are not counted in any of the statistics, and the voter... |

Apparently they all live in Alberta. |

| "So what is your alternative theory?" I don't have one, but I have read up on 8 different theories that try to explain the Permian mass extinctions, and each of them have a great deal of doubt assigned. Actually there is a 9th theory that suggests a few of the other 8 theories may have hap... |

| Are you saying that the known data about the Permian extinction are wrong? Forget about the cause for a second, you are contradicting the known data. Or are you saying that the earth, way back when life was just starting, didn't used to have an atmosphere very high in CO2 which allowed plant life t... |
