| Moderator note on Climate Change |
| 2009-12-14 |
| No, we're not using this space as a dissertation to prove that the global warming fearmongers are wrong; we already know that. Rather, if you post a story on climate change / global warming, it goes under 'Science and Technology', not 'Signs, Portents and the Weather'. We mods had a conversation about this and Fred prefers these stories under S&T. We will repeat this message for a few days to ensure everyone sees it. Many thanks! |

| #16 Huh? To me, it's Lurid Crime Tales. You think it's S&T now? We can hope, don't hold your breath. |

| #15 if our frozen fingers are too cold to type AGW snark That's why we invented an acronym for it. You could even type AAAGGWWWW and we'd understand what you mean. |

| #14 "if our frozen fingers are too cold to type AGW snark" That means Al Gore is visiting someplace in your region. |

| #13 Y'all haven't used the number 5 in a while, how about a title "Bullshit the world around" and use the number (An Irrational number to boot) "Bullshit' is optional, but the idea remains. |

| #12 Sorry, Steve - didn't see this before my twin posts just a few minutes ago. Guess I tend to lean more to tipover's thinking.... (Of course, Dar has a good point too :-p ) |

| #11 What should we do if our frozen fingers are too cold to type AGW snark? |

| #9 global warming fearmongers are wrong; elegant wording. Could mean 1. "there is no anthropogenic global warming" 2. There is AGW, but not much now and wont get much worse 3. There is a lot of AGW, and there will be more, but it wont be a bad thing 4. There will be a lot of AGW, and it will be a bad thing, but no matter how bad it is, I can find SOME enviro who thinks it will be even worse, and THATS who I mean by "fear mongers" Not quite like saying "even if we take no steps no lessen emissions from current forecasts, the global temp will increase by less than 1.5 C" |

| #7 Palm and tarot card readers are not going to be happy to be lumped in with the AGW crowd. |

| #6 It's just filing, guys. So long as we're consistent, it doesn't really matter what the heading is. That's why I refiled tipper's story on the CIA response to global cooling back in the 1970s. Now y'all can devote your considerable brain power to more important thing. ;-) |

| #5 It's more about global taxation and creating a global Marxist government. |

| #4 How about Academia & Politics category? |

| #3 Good point, Dar. I'll bring it up at the next moderators' meeting at the O-Club ;-) |

| #2 I think we need a category titled "Palm Readings, Tarot Cards, and Other Bulls**t". If that doesn't cover AGW, I don't know what does. |

| #1 Logically you are correct but then again 'Signs, Portents and the Weather' seems to apply to the worshipers of the church of AlGore. ;-) |
