Ok wise guy.....why don't you explain why the earth warmed and ended the ice ages? Go ask your indoctrinating professor if you need to.....

You'd be better off asking a 2-year-old to explain particle physics. I've asked why it is that global temperatures were slightly warmer during the middle ages and all I hear is crickets.

The "warmers" will always resort to some religious argument as to why clear thinking people are dismissing the fantasy of man-made global warming. If you don't believe the big lie, then you're Rick Santorum, you dismiss evolution, and believe the earth is 5,000 years old.

Because Rick Santorum basically said people shouldn't go to college because it's turning them all into atheist. Honestly, claiming all colleges do is push left wing agendas is BS. I've never taken a class in all my time at UT or community college and felt like I was getting hammered with a Marxist view. I've always felt it was pretty balanced. However, I'm a biochemistry major so I take science classes so I can't comment on poli sci and the like.

I was a BCMB major and a double minor in Political Science and Philosophy at UT. My experience was very similar to yours, minus a medial ethics class.

They didn't like my pro-euthanasia stance.

Lamar Smith, Global Warming Skeptic, Set To Chair House Science Committee

Previously, it was Ralph Hall and when asked about why he doesn't believe that humans are responsible for global warming, this was his statement:

"I don't think we can control what God controls."

That's his "scientific" evidence as to why man is not responsible. Notice no facts...no data...no theories, just ridiculous random thoughts that pop up in the head. He sounds like a 2nd grader trying to explain why 2X4 equals 8. "Because God made it that way." Way to express your higher order thinking, Ralph.

Also, when discussing global warming, he says:
"I'm really more fearful of global freezing."

Oh, so because you would rather be hot than cold, that's proof that global warming doesn't matter? When asked that question, he says:

"I don't have any science to prove it."

Remember...he's supposed to be the head of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, yet knows NOTHING about global warming.

Thank God he's out and Lamar Smith is in, right? Well...on global warming, Smith had this to say:

"The (news) networks have shown a steady pattern of bias on climate change. During a 6 month period, 4 out of 5 network news reports failed to acknowledge any (skeptical) views about global warming."

Nevermind that 97% of scientific studies on global warming have found that it is real and humans are the cause. It's the 3% that are funded and bought off by oil companies to say what they want to hear that we need to listen to.

Smith received $500,000 form oil and gas companies over his career, so there's no surprise that he's doing exactly what these companies want him to do.

What a puppet.

Sounds like he has just as much science backing him as the man made GW proponents have.

The funniest part of all of this is that we have a house committee on science.

True. There's also a meeting today between congressmen about vaccinations. Very dangerous to have a bunch of religious dolts deciding whether vaccinations work, when the science clearly supports it.

The number of people in this threadbasing their opinions of global warming from talking heads on Fox News is staggering. Get some knowledge in your brain people

Sorry, science is evil and scientists are more biased that oil company executives.

why don't you explain your point.....why is global warming real?.....and why is it due to man?......what caused the ice ages in the past? Why did the earth warm again when man had yet to develop the engine and use of fossil fuels?

I take the global warming issue with a grain of salt and don't fall hook line and sinker....

My position on global warming is that it's real, but not man made. Humans only possibly speeding up the process.

This is a very reasonable position ..

And I'm a reasonable person. Therefore, if we're going to have a house committee on science then there needs to be scientists on the committee. Otherwise it's very pointless to have men and women decide on funding and regulation or whatever they do in that committee that have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

True....but it seems to me that too many have fallen for the global warming propaganda without even considering additional variables and this includes many scientists.....history has shown that earth's climate has gone through several significant temperature changes......why? Who can say for sure....did the sun heat up or cool down? Was there a massive volcanic eruption that shadowed the sun?......maybe a large meteor? I think there are too many variables and too small of a piece of reliable record keeping to say that it's man made

I get exactly what you're saying and agree to a point. Unfortunately, even scientists have political agendas. It's entirely too difficult to have complete and straight forward, unbiased reports. Annoying really.

There are plenty of unbiased scientists. If a scientist is biased then they're not following the scientific method and peer revision is bot being used. Seriously, it's a fool proof method of interpreting data.

There are scientists and researchers out there that are not funded by green energy companies or oil companies that have submitted reports. You just have to find them.

I'm open to proof that climate researchers are intentionally fudging reports of climate change, and that it's a widespread conspiracy.

We can talk about other scientists on this committee, too. It's not strictly for climate change, is it? Is there a chemist, biologist, geologist, etc on the committee? Why is it that climate is the foremost thing Republicans bring up when they legislate on other items?
