POTD: 2014-01-13 (issues)
« on: January 13, 2014, 04:45:10 PM »
Note: I'm not really looking for political stances. Assume no government involvement one way or the other. For example, if you believe man-made global warming is real and having some effect on our environment, but you think that effect is way overblown by those damn dirty liberals, then you would still choose the first option rather than the second.

Good luck!

I avoided the GMO and Fraking issues because I don't have enough data.

Yeah, obviously if you don't really have any idea one way or the other feel free to skip a question.

I am surprised by the two in AGW denier category with this group. The "whether is happening at an accelerated rate due to man" aspect has been peer reviewed more than most scientific statements. Have you run your concerns with the theory through the free skeptical science app?

Increase carbon and other greenhouse gases... more heat absorption...higher temperature. All readings show an considerable increase since humanity started burning fuel in the ground and sending CO2 into the atmosphere.

I guess I am surprised by people who cannot even meet science that far.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Please tell me you vaccinated your kids at least? The diseases are worse even if a chance of autism exists.

Jenny McCarthy says it does, and she has boobs that are on television. Even her own kid had and then stopped having autism. So she knows her stuff.

I know I should have elaborated. Yes, my kids get all the vaccines that the pediatrician suggest. And I don't know whether or not vaccines cause autism - I guess I'm just not a fan of flu vaccine...the few times I got it as a kid I still always ended up with the flu. I don't know if it helps or not, but I'd just rather go without it. And I wont make my kids get it. I haven't had the flu vaccine since I was in elementary school and I don't remember the last time I've had the flu.

Totally cool with that... I also don't get flu vaccines very often.

I'm quite surprised that the GMO and global warming are as split as they are on this liberal fucking forum ;)
