Yep, now that we're having cold winters they're saying it's caused by global warming just like they were saying the hot summers were caused by global cooling...... :biggrin:

It must really be peaceful to be so dumb.
Why don't you tell us how peaceful it is Ex seems like you should know.

Such wit!   :rolleyes:

The fact that someone would base evidence of the entire phenomena of global warming on what's happening in their back yards (relatively speaking) shows that they know nothing about the subject.

I'm still trying to figure out what a cimate scientist studies?   :biggrin:

The scientists I guess.  Since that comment came from out in left field and both sides have referred to "they" in reference to findings about global warming.  I don't think Al Bore has gotten large enough to be referred to in the plural form yet.

I reread the thread, just to test the truth of me's statement. Mcgonser used "they" in the second post of the thread, but it had a clear antecedent -- the "Democrats" in the title of the thread.

In the fifth post me used several "they"s with no antecedent I could find. I really don't think "cows" was the antecedent each time. Another floating "they" appears in post 18. In post 24 "they" appears to refer to the things which have been changed according to me. I think. It might be the scientists.

Post 40, Mcgonser uses "they" but it is unclear whether the antecedent is "enviormental orgs"(sic) or the aforementioned "Democrats." Possibly both, since "they" is used twice.

Post 43: me's "they" has no antecedent at all, and is simply indecipherable.

In post 52 I used "they" myself, but with the clear antecedent of "articles."

That brings us to this page, with Sandy's clever observation on the indefinite pronoun. And me's assertion that both sides have used it. Not so. Mcgonser and I used it, with clear antecedents (not totally clear once for Mcgonser, but at least there was a possible antecedent.)

Four times me used the indefinite pronoun "they" in phrases and sentences where there is no clue who "they" are.

This long, boring dissertation is to give warning: don't make statements that can be easily verified, unless you are sure you know what you are talking about. People do check.

That would be post #4 not 5:http://theunknownzone.us/smf/index.php?topic=13618.msg311651#msg311651 "they" is meaning scientists and the government.  If you had been aware of what was going on then you would have understood who was meant by "they".

Post #17 http://theunknownzone.us/smf/index.php?topic=13618.15
Since I was talking about scientists in the paragraph wouldn't if follow that that's what my "they" was referring to?

Post #23 http://theunknownzone.us/smf/index.php?topic=13618.msg311920#msg311920
If you can't figure out who and what is meant by "they" there then there is no hope for you at all.

Gee wonder who she meant by "they"

Hum, let me see...He mentioned liberal groups and then used the term they...hum, wonder who he was referring to..... :rolleyes:
