Don't be an idiot.

Libertarians also don't argue for civil rights, despite the fact that they should support them as much as any liberal, because they are actually Republicans who could give a **** about gay/women's/minority rights. Modern libertarianism is a ****ing joke.

Irrelevant given the reality of modern libertarianism.

So, Trump turns over all of his business dealings to his kids (Can you say puppet master) and now he's requesting top level security clearances for all of them.....

I didn't expect things to go so Twilight Zone so quickly.

And Goofle, re: Global Warming, really? What the **** has happened to you over the course of the last year? At this point you and my younger sister would get on great together.

Quote:
A question that frequently arises in popular discussion of climate change is whether there is a scientific consensus on climate change.[1] Several scientific organizations have explicitly used the term "consensus" in their statements:

American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2006: "The conclusions in this statement reflect the scientific consensus represented by, for example, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the Joint National Academies' statement."

US National Academy of Sciences: "In the judgment of most climate scientists, Earth’s warming in recent decades has been caused primarily by human activities that have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. ... On climate change, [the National Academies’ reports] have assessed consensus findings on the science..."

Joint Science Academies' statement, 2005: "We recognize the international scientific consensus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."

Joint Science Academies' statement, 2001: "The work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) represents the consensus of the international scientific community on climate change science. We recognize IPCC as the world’s most reliable source of information on climate change and its causes, and we endorse its method of achieving this consensus."

American Meteorological Society, 2003: "The nature of science is such that there is rarely total agreement among scientists. Individual scientific statements and papers—the validity of some of which has yet to be assessed adequately—can be exploited in the policy debate and can leave the impression that the scientific community is sharply divided on issues where there is, in reality, a strong scientific consensus.... IPCC assessment reports are prepared at approximately five-year intervals by a large international group of experts who represent the broad range of expertise and perspectives relevant to the issues. The reports strive to reflect a consensus evaluation of the results of the full body of peer-reviewed research.... They provide an analysis of what is known and not known, the degree of consensus, and some indication of the degree of confidence that can be placed on the various statements and conclusions."

Network of African Science Academies: “A consensus, based on current evidence, now exists within the global scientific community that human activities are the main source of climate change and that the burning of fossil fuels is largely responsible for driving this change.”

International Union for Quaternary Research, 2008: "INQUA recognizes the international scientific consensus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."

Australian Coral Reef Society,] 2006: "There is almost total consensus among experts that the earth’s climate is changing as a result of the build-up of greenhouse gases.... There is broad scientific consensus that coral reefs are heavily affected by the activities of man and there are significant global influences that can make reefs more vulnerable such as global warming....
But hey, if you'd rather take the opinions of big business individuals who make huge profits off of the very things that are contributing to Global warming - go for it.

And +1 to what DWV's said.

There's a difference between saying "I will vote for Gary Johnson and support the current Libertarian leaders" and "I believe in Libertarian values". So make that distinction. Just like I make the distinction between the dictionary definition of Feminism, and what Feminists do.

Also there's plenty of people who counter the global warming/climate change agenda. I personally don't have much of an opinion of it other than the clear moving of goalposts and false prediction.

My argument was against using the idea of climate change to increase taxes.

Yeah, Gary sucks. I would have voted for him, but he sucks.

I wasn't talking about politicians. Every libertarian I've ever met has been a hypocrite who talked about freedom of choice but only cared about economics.
