Last Argument Standing
that scraping sound? bottom of the barrel*
How’s this for an ...er, “argument?”
There is a crisis; something must be done! What we propose to do is something. Therefore, it must be done!
Ok—your “proof” is bogus, your “crisis” is silly and your “something” is suicidal. And murderous.
What now?
More ...er, logyk:
When I see a problem that has even a 1 percent probability of occurring and is “irreversible” and potentially “catastrophic,” I buy insurance. That is what taking climate change seriously is all about.
If there were only a 1% probability I’d have an accident I sure wouldn’t buy car insurance. No way! A guaranteed 99% chance of walking away scot free? I got worse odds of getting hit by a passing black hole as I sit here and type.
And that’s the best “argument” they can come up with?!? I realize this has been a bad week [ClimateGate, Darwin Zero, Rothera Point station ...] but rly? rly?
After that, the only ‘argument’ left is “Cuz I said so.”
oh… yeah. nevermiind
*Also: Obama stickers
So, does the asshat have insurance to cover him being called an asshat? Because I figure the probabilities at 100% chance of that happening.
