I don't like Al Gore anymore than you do. But it wasn't his word I was taking. It was the word of the SCIENTISTS he and others quoted in raising the alarms.

That's far too logical.  Henry only believes what Henry wants to believe.  He is the antithesis of an open mind.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

But...just because someone has an open mind....aren't they still going to believe what they want to believe?   An open mind just means that you will hear what is said, and think about it.  Doesn't, in the end, mean you will accept what you hear.
Looks like I've come full circle.

He does have an undergraduate degree in physics from CalTech.......what did Al have?  If it's all the same to you, I think I will trust the judgement of someone like this over ... some political hacks in washington.

Whoop de dooo... I have a degree in Computer Science. And I can spell judgment.

Would you call your accountant to get the latest weather report?

Would you call the guy who reads the weather at your local radio station to get financial advice?

Well Mr. Computer Science..... ;)

It is not a new problem; both spellings have trailed this word throughout history and all English-language dictionaries assure us that both are acceptable. However, we are offering a reasoned resolution to the dilemma that allows us to spell all such words accurately and consistently, making our kids' task of learning the language just a bit easier. We should use the "e" after "g" and "c" (e.g. "advancement" when they are are soft and omit it when they are hard (e.g. segment, pigment). By the way, we have William Shakespeare and all our British brethren on our side. Not bad company to keep.

You should really give credit to the original author if you're going to copy and paste someone else's work.

No, but  I would talk to a family doctor about my heart....one is more specialized, but both know a great deal about the heart....

physics explains how the world and universe behave...and they are qualified to make logical opinions on the topic of climate change....

oh, let me be clear...I am not the author of this, and I did copy and paste.....but the answer is very clear....

Let's not get side tracked with spelling here either.....

Nice try but no.

Not at all but discussing it with people who have no grasp of simple logical thought processes is pointless.
