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

#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.

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

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

#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. ;-)

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

#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"

#10 How about a "Seedy Science and Scientists" section?

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

#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 )

#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.

#14 "if our frozen fingers are too cold to type AGW snark"

That means Al Gore is visiting someplace in your region.

#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.

#16 Huh? To me, it's Lurid Crime Tales.

You think it's S&T now? We can hope, don't hold your breath.
