PPS Perhaps you would also care to insult Amundsen, Scott, Shackleton, and all the rest, who were real men of their time, and undoubtedly detested by people such as you! |

Approaching two centuries ago, incredibly brave and adventurous Englishmen set out on a perilous voyage of discovery to an environment way harsher than anything anyone from the developed world had experienced and for which they were, inevitably, inadequately equipped. They died trying to broaden mankind's narrow base of knowledge of the world in which we live. The cause according to Wikipedia Jim in Berkeley.......racism!! Could he possibly make himself look more ridiculous? As you say GT, pathetically biased, filled with ignorance and prejudice against the British. |

Critical thinking and reading appear to have been abandoned in the former empire. Shackleton brought back all of his men, one of the most incredible stories of human competence. John Franklin lost everyone. The distinction is important. It is the same characteristic mrgybe continuously displays--hubris. |

But I must admit it is fun to poke at the hysterical defensiveness. |

Times columnist blasted by ‘nasty left’ for climate change piece
By Chris Perez
April 28, 2017
A New York Times columnist who was “harangued” for months by “bullying Trump supporters” says he’s now being blasted by the “nasty left” — after he penned a piece about how absurd it was to blindly support climate change, without listening to both sides of the argument.
Former Wall Street Journal writer Bret Stephens has now managed to draw ire from the left after his column ran online Friday.
As a noted “never Trumper” and climate skeptic, he has seen his fair share of hate mail and Twitter trolls over the past year-and-a-half — but nothing like what he’s endured since his article was posted, he says.
“After 20 months of being harangued by bullying Trump supporters, I’m reminded that the nasty left is no different. Perhaps worse,” Stephens tweeted Friday afternoon, as the hateful messages kept rolling in.
“Go eat dog d—s,” fumed one Twitter user.
“When is the Times going to get rid of you?” another asked.
Stephens even managed to tick off fellow journalists.
“You’re a s–thead. a crybaby lil f–kin weenie. a massive twat too,” tweeted Libby Watson, staff writer at Gizmodo.
“I’m gonna lose my mind,” seethed Eve Peyser, politics writer at Vice.
“The ideas ppl like @BretStephensNYT espouse are violently hateful & should not be given a platform by @NYTimes,” she said.
In the column, Stephens never states that he believes climate change is a farce. He simply asserts that people should look at claims from both supporters and deniers, in the attempt to get all the facts.
“Anyone who has read the 2014 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change knows that, while the modest (0.85 degrees Celsius, or about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit) warming of the Northern Hemisphere since 1880 is indisputable, as is the human influence on that warming, much else that passes as accepted fact is really a matter of probabilities,” he writes.
“That’s especially true of the sophisticated but fallible models and simulations by which scientists attempt to peer into the climate future. To say this isn’t to deny science. It’s to acknowledge it honestly.”
Stephens even describes how he knows people will blast him for the piece, despite the fact he’s arguing for both sides.
“By now I can almost hear the heads exploding. They shouldn’t, because there’s another lesson here — this one for anyone who wants to advance the cause of good climate policy,” he says. “As Revkin wisely noted, hyperbole about climate ‘not only didn’t fit the science at the time but could even be counterproductive if the hope was to engage a distracted public.'”
Describing the idea in another way, Stephens says: “Claiming total certainty about the science traduces the spirit of science and creates openings for doubt whenever a climate claim proves wrong.
“Censoriously asserting one’s moral superiority and treating skeptics as imbeciles and deplorables wins few converts,” he adds. “None of this is to deny climate change or the possible severity of its consequences. But ordinary citizens also have a right to be skeptical of an overweening scientism. They know — as all environmentalists should — that history is littered with the human wreckage of scientific errors married to political power.”
But social media users didn’t care, with some — including several scientists — going so far as to order a subscription boycott of the Times on Friday.
“Each and every one of us should fully boycott the NY Times — don’t link to them, don’t click on their links. Their actions are inexcusable,” wrote one Twitter user. “You cannot be an ostensible paper-of-record and allow a science denier to spread propaganda.”
Adriana Heguy, a genomics scientist and professor of pathology at NYU, urged her colleagues to scrap their subscriptions, as well.
“Composing my letter to the editor today and canceling @nytimes,” she tweeted. “‘Balance’ means a VALID alternative opinion, not pseudoscience. I’m so sad.”
A petition was even created on Change.org asking the Times to fire Stephens. It had already garnered more than 25,000 signatures by 11 p.m. Friday.
“The issue is not that climate denial makes New York Times readers uncomfortable,” the description reads. “The issue is that climate denial relies on a foundation of lies. To present lies as if they were reasoned opinion compromises the impartiality, accuracy, and integrity of The New York Times.”

tooo funny you moron troll..
Again your hero of the media that started mane calling was it 30-40 years ago he penned the neme for Butch was it he was calling Janet Reno? What did he call presidents children daughters, again making fun of Jimmy Carters teenage child when Carter was president. And he is the hero of the right wing... he has never stopped. Hows his drug and viagra problem? Any liberal would have been removed. But the drugster is still the most listened to name calling a freak of nature.
Savage is another one.. What is his real name something like weiner?
So 30-40 years of right name top of the hero list and the right wing president was just claiming he had big hands and what he called one right winger lucifer, well it is all right wingers. Right wingers vote in a name calling president and then cry on the internet when the truth is they are all cry babies, moron, idiots. the truth you lucifers. you can not handle the truth..
Now the article he was at what the wall street journal, omg owned by ruppy Murdoch who owns fox and allowed sexual predators there and phone hackers in the UK. Oh you cite the NY post again owned by ruppy the sexual preditor supporter. _________________ when good people stay silent the right wing are the only ones heard. |

NW--who defends nasty name-caller Ann Coulter--and doesn't notice that she is a bigot--now finds something wrong with name calling. Practice what you preach for a while. |

Spare a thought for Cobo. The global warming march in Denver had to be cancelled due to heavy snow. Hope he had his massive 4 wheel drive with him. |

I always have, which is why I've always had a problem with the both of you. I don't name call, I grew out of that 30 years ago, try it sometime.
Also, I've always been defending the 1st amendment, Ann Coulter was just the latest to be shut down in your embarrassing town. |
