Global warming skeptic? Isn't that just another way of saying Idiot?For example, the only time a global-warming skeptic gets mentioned on the CBC is when it's in a documentary about the "conspiracies" to undermine Al Gore, or some such foolishness.
No, it's another way of saying 'realist.'Global warming skeptic? Isn't that just another way of saying Idiot?
No, it's another way of saying "fool in denial". How anybody can be a skeptic is beyond stupid. Oh, I guess these are probably the same type of people who think there was Adam and Eve and humans magically appeared on earth. Yeah if I was the CBC I wouldn't waste airtime on these morons either.No, it's another way of saying 'realist.'
Nothing personal, but I would remind you that the people who share your views -- those who like to mix their science with their politics -- also believed AIDS would be the number one killer in North America by the start of the 21st century.No, it's another way of saying "fool in denial".

Sorry Dr'moron' ,but the whole global warming thing is a new age religion. You better tow the doctrine or else. Non-believers are to be stoned to death. Questioners are to have their tongues cut from their mouths. Anyone with conflicting data is to be dropped into a volcano. What do U mean there is only educated guesswork data from beyond 40 years ago? How is it possible that the planet as a WHOLE hasn't warmed this decade? Sea levels may actually have lowered a fraction this decade. Antarctic ice volume is increasing more that the arctic is melting. This could even be the start of the next ice-age. Good old mother nature sure does like to change around the climate on this earth. I'm going to hide now,cuz I sense the Zombies are coming for my soul.No, it's another way of saying "fool in denial".

"When Jon Stewart, the Bantam Rooser of conventional wisdom, makes jokes about it, you know Climategate has reached critical mass. Said Stewart, 'Poor Al Gore. Global Warming completely debunked via the very internet he invented.' "
"Stewart was half joking, but Climategate is no joke at all. The mass of emails from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University let loose by a hacker or a whistleblower pulls back the curtain on a scene of pettiness, turf protection, manipulation, defiance of Freedom of Information, lost or destroyed data, and attempts to blacklist critics and skeptics of the global warming cause."
"Now the CRU is not the only climate science advisory body, but it is one of the most influential and feeds directly into the UN panel on climate change. So lets hear no more talk of 'the science is settled', when it turns out some of the principal scientists behave as if they own the very question of Global Warming."
"When they seek to bar opposing research from peer review journals. To embargo journals they can't control. When they urge each other to delete damaging emails before Freedom of Information takes hold. When they talk of 'hiding the decline.' When they actually speak of destroying the primary data....and when now, we do learn, that the primary data has been lost or destroyed...they've lost the raw data on which all the models, all the computer generated forecasts, the graphs and projections ... are based...you wouldn't accept that at a grade nine science fair."
"Now CRU is not the universe of climate research, but it is the star...these emails demonstrate one thing beyond all else....that climate science and global warming advocacy have become so entwined, so meshed into a mutant creature, that separating alarmism from investigation, ideology from science, agenda from empirical study, is well nigh impossible."
"Climategate is evidence that the science has gone to bed with advocacy and both have had a very good time."
"That the the neutrality, openness, and absolute disinterest, that is the hallmark of all honest scientific endeavour has been abandoned to an atmosphere and a dynamic not superior to the partisan caterwauls of a sub-average question period."
"Climate science has been shown to be, in part, a sub-branch of climate politics. It is a situation intolerable even to serious minds who are on side with Global Warming. Such as Clive Crook, who wrote in Atlantic Magazine about this scandal as follows: 'The stink of intellectual corruption is overpowering.' "
"Climate science needs it's own reset button. And Climategate should be seen not primarily as a setback, but as an opportunity to cleanse scientific method. To take science away from politics, good causes, and alarmists. And vest climate science in bodies of guaranteed neutrality, openness, real and vigorous debate, and away from lobbyists, the NGO's, the advocates, the Gores, and professional environmentalists of all kind. Too many of the current leadership on Global Warming are more players than observers, gatekeepers not investigators, angry partisans of some global re-engineering, rather than the humble servants of the facts of the case"
"Read the emails. You'll never think of "climate science" quite the same way again."
HERETIC! Burn him at the stake!sorry dr'moron' ,but the whole global warming thing is a new age religion. You better tow the doctrine or else. Non-believers are to be stoned to death.

All comments are pre-moderated. You can send a message and it may not appear for minutes. Even non offensive comments are often filtered to keep the spam factor down as this chat room is used across all CBC NHL live broadcasts. They also don't even like mentioning other broadcasters; for instance when someone asked if CBC would have the 'all-access' camera for the Olympics, I replied that CTV held the rights. My comment never appeared, and instead a comment that said "CBC got outbid for the rights" was instead approved.Back to the original topic, I'm confused. Someone on the chat made a slightly rude comment, what's that got to do with CBC?
I don't know why your comment wasn't posted, but I can tell you there is no censorship of the kind you describe at the CBC. I worked there for a short time a few years back and have friends there. They don't do that.The CBC heavily censors its boards.

More like it's widely mis-knownThe fact that the CBC is for teh most part a little slanted in its editorial slant is widely known.
