Thank you for confirming your clueless asshole qualificatons for the Drumpf Badminisration, you fracking idiotâŚ
And the Koch bros. applaud.
Same logic used for Sandy Hook.
âthis is something that has only taken place because of climate changeâ
is the opening premise of a straw man argument. It sounded to me like a soft ball to the sycophantic Pruitt so that he could play to Trumpâs base and also nuzzle closer to Trumpâs taint.
Sorry this is entirely OT. Is it mentioned here yet?
Marlow pressed: âWhat would you say, theoretically, if they challenged you and they said that âthis is something that has only taken place because of climate change,â what would be your response?â
This guy needs to stay away from open flames, because all that straw will go up in a second flatâŚ
Let me offer you a succinct scientific response that the layperson can readily understand. âWank off, you fraud.â
When Republicans say âDonât politicize the issueâ, what they mean is âDonât do anything about it.â
Harvey is the worst rain event in U.S. history, . . .
and according to Pruit, it has nothing to do with climate change nor global warming.
And I suppose he has scientific evidence to support that claim? . . . . .yea, I thought not.
Itâs too soon to talk about gun control climate change.
Oh, and âopportunistic?â âMisplacedâ? I guess since Trump projects all the time now his people do it too.
He added: âSo, I think for opportunistic media to use events like this to, without basis or support, just to simply engage in a cause and effect type of discussion, and not focus upon the needs of people, I think is misplaced.â
Nope, just nope. This bullsh*t strawman, illogical fallacy should have been called on right there and then.
FU, Scott.
You were a douche in High School and youâre an even bigger douche now.
Eat my standard deviation, you prick.

I guess this behaviour will be continuing as Hurricane Irma, currently at Cat. 3 status possibly barrels towards Southeast coast.
When they say they are not scientists it means they are pure republicans; determined to burn down the planet. And since they are not scientists, how can they presume to know what scientists are talking about, much less if they are right or wrong?
Prushitt is misplaced.
âThe [Washington] Post noted separately that the storm had delivered the Houston area its third â500-year
floodâ in three years â that is, storms so bad they have a 1 in 500 chance of happening in a given year and local area.â
Just to clarify, the Post is conflating two separate issues. A â500 year floodâ describes a flood of an intensity that the historical record shows occuring, on the average, about every 500 years. It is not a good basis for a statistical probability. Houston could just as easily have another 500-year event next year, particularly if climactic changes set the stage for such an event. At that point, the historical record, and averages will change.
Since the Earthâs climate has and IS changing, it would be âstupidâ and âpigheadedâ to deny that climate change affects everything, including and especially Hurricane Harvey, the worst US storm ever.
