Eddie seems to think that a basic earth science class will cover it. HAHAHAHAHAHA! But why the discrimination? I think they should ALL have to take a basic climate science class. Equal opportunity learning…right?

If it were a REAL Earth Sciences course it would be very heavy on Geology which would strongly reinforce the skeptical attitude toward the whole CAGW scam.
I think he means a political science course featuring sensory deprivation and a diet consisting of only carbohydrates…you know: the elements of brainwashing cults.

Their true colors are showing. I believe re-education camps were something the Soviet Union used to deal with anyone not towing the party line. It’s scary where things are these days.
I have no idea how my prior post wound up in the sin bin…I thought I had avoided the choice words that would get it flagged for moderation…I must have missed one.
Owen….did you use “Ed” or “Schultz” or “Ed Schultz”? *evil grin*

Ed would undoubtedly teach it. He obviously knows everything about these mysterious abnormal events and their cause. He could even define what he thinks is being denied and why the deniers are wrong. It would definitely be educational.
Ignorant, yet. But ugly? What do you say we try not to jump the shark on every post.

Ed Schultz is a troll with a microphone.
Back when tax breaks for private business jets were a Democrat meme to whip up low information voters, Schultz was dutifully arguing the Democrat talking point of the day, bashing “the rich” for having private jets and bemoaning the tax breaks that went with claiming them as a business expense. Class warfare demagoguery, plain and simple.
Then it emerged that Mr. Schultz himself owns and flies private business jets on a regular basis. http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/14/populist-blowhard-ed-schultz-secretly-flies-on-his-own-fleet-of-private-jets/

It doesn’t say “specifically in appearance”, and I find everything about that man unappealing, unpleasant, ghastly, vile, and repulsive. I also find him unattractive. 🙂

Basic Earth Science Course!?!? Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha, I was reading an article about Climate Deniers in the Senate such as Sen. Inhofe being a shill for Koch brothers and knowing full well the dangers of climate change yadda yadda , I got SO angry because there is the distinct probability the Senator from Oklahoma is genuinely concerned for the safety of his constituents as well as protecting the states infrastructure , both of which have been getting blasted by killer winters causing human deaths and suffering as well as stretching their resources to the limit! I say the rank and file American Citizen is more concerned about the realities of yet another brutal winter staring us in the face as we slide into autumn soon, with more cold forecast earlier this year (for my region , the north east lower 48) Basic Earth Science… and whose course are we advocating anyway, a CAGW funded one I bet. WOW

That’s what happens when leftists take over a country. Those who do not fall in line are killed or sent to prisons that are renamed as “reeducation camps.” Today’s leftists show they are very similar in thinking to Stalin, Mao, Castro, the Kims of North Korea, and other leftist revolutionaries of the past century. We can only hope that they never seize complete control of the U.S. so we never have to find out how far they are willing to go.

Be kind. Would you want to be Ed Schultz? If you woke and suddenly realized you were that big an a$$, you might well kill yourself. So the fact that Ed is still alive makes him a grand master of denial. Hence the irony (projection?) of his passionate loathing for “denialists.” MSNBC is truly a freak show only they don’t seem to know it. Sad, really.
If these MSNBC know-it-alls and other left wing warmists took a “basic earth science” course, they would learn:
1) Climate has always been varying through Earth’s History, with out the aid of AGW
2) Those past variations are huge compared to what we have seen over the last 100 years
3) There is no reason to believe that those process aren’t still at play in our earth-ocean-atmosphere system and that we can not uniquely and entirely put the blame on CO2 for warming over the last 100 years
4) That CO2 and temperature have a very weak to non-existent correlation over geologic time scales.
5) That the earth-ocean-atmosphere system is extremely complicated, non-linear and hard to predict, with many different forcings at many different scales, most of which are not adequately represented or simulated in climate models.
And , in the end, IF they were good students, they would emerge from this re-education as …..
SKEPTICS .

Um… I figure most all elected Republicans have at least a high school diploma. That would mean they have already had their basic science courses. In fact, the reason I’m a denier is because… well, I’ve had some very basic scientific education. That education has taught me that science is never settled and that the core of the scientific method is a conglomerate of: questioning, unbiased observation, testing, measuring, experimentation, debating, etc. The instant that mankind forgoes scientific debate – the dark ages return. (oh, and another thing I learned about scientific method: the necessity of constant modification of hypotheses.)

“Should climate denying Republicans be forced to take a basic Earth Science course”. A carefully crafted PR statement. Think of everything subtly implied by this and how it influences people reading it thinking it is just a survey question. Someone at MSNBC is probably just itching to put out the headline that would report the survey results, “80% Of Respondants Think Climate Denying Republicans Should Be Forced To Take A Basic Earth Science Course.”

I want reduction for climate deniers. I grew up in SE Wisconsin where the glacier melted. I want all who denies the sun melted the last glacier from SE Wisconsin up above the arctic circle reduced.
Anyone who uses the term “denier’ is just spewing hate speech. It is exactly the same as calling all of us [n*ggers].
I wonder what it would take to get a civil rights action going against them. We are definitely an oppressed minority.

I don’t have MSNBC so, I don’t watch it. (Hope advertisers are paying attention.)
Deniers?, The Not-see cult of doom and gloom are at it again in full force.
My first thought was why would anyone watch this ignorant blowhard, but then I realized, practically no one does.
Eddie seems to think that a basic earth science class will cover it. HAHAHAHAHAHA! But why the discrimination? I think they should ALL have to take a basic climate science class. Equal opportunity learning…right?

Well, there could be a logical explanation. They are trying to hold onto their core audience of narcissists—
