Thread: Who SHOULD run in 2012?

Bigdog.

Sjt for veep.

Asianator, Consultant, Soy, Potem, and the baconator for cabinet members. Maybe add Jason_jinx in as a modern version of a court jester, cuz he's so silly.

But as for '12, I'm expecting an Obama/Clinton ticket also.

And on the Republican side...I don't really know who they'd have run. But like Consultant said, Crist could be it. Or one of the other two guys McCain was considering, can't think of names right now.

Al Gore will never run. Being president isn't nearly the cash-cow that being the poster-boy for "Man-made global warming" - I mean "Global Warming" - (What? It's cooling now?) I mean, "Man-made Climate Change", - I mean, "The Climate Crisis"!

Gore is rich, which was his goal from the start.

Exhibit A

Let's count the Escalades in the driveway! 1, 2, 3.

And the Earth-Killing AC units on the left? 1, 2, 3, 4 - maybe 5?

Annnnnd finally, the Earth-saving solar panels? - hmm. Zero

Annnnnd the wind turbines to power his car buffers? - hmm. Zero as well.

Anyway. Al Gore made his dough, he doesn't need the headaches and armchair quarterbacking that comes with being President.

<sigh>

the facts are, the average global temperature is rising faster than it has in the past by orders of magnitude. This (rather small appearing) increase in temperature is leading to dramatic changes. These changes are acting as positive fedback mechanisms.

It is a non-linear dynamical system, this means it is hard to predict, hard to understand, and hard to model. But, considering the vast majority of science and academia has decided global warming is anthropogenic, perhaps we should not listen to them, and instead rely on the few scientists who are willing to work for companies who have a stake in not changing our energy sources. Brilliant. And I am sure most of you are really qualified to interpret the majority of research on this particular system that speaks against your position.

Denying it is foolish and is towing the line.

As a non-linear dynamical system, no one can say for what will happen, that would make it a linear system! BUT, the overwhelming body of evidence has models that are not as good as we would want. On that note, only a small few are really bad. But hardly any show no change, and hardly any indicate it is a purely natural phenomenon.

It is still called global warming by scientists by the way. The other names are attempts to help the layman interpret what that warming is actually doing, because they don't seem to understand it: "how can there be global warming, we had record cool temperatures throughout the year!!" again: duh.
