 * At least the IP is honest...it's not parody. It is wrong, but not parody.
 * I wonder, is this the same person who gave us Essay:New World Order?

 * No. I think that was Elassint. Susan  ... purrrrrr ...  07:22, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Global warming is a silly bullshit theory that we are all going to die because a gas is magically going to warm up the planet.

Yeah, almost as silly as little tiny creatures so small you can't see them are responsible for a lot of diseases. CЯacke ® 08:28, 9 November 2007 (EST)


 * Let's talk about infrared radiation. Look at the infrared spectrum shown here.  See that big peak in the spectrum at about 2400 cm-1.  That's carbon dioxide absorbing infrared radiation.  It makes the C=O double bonds vibrate, and vibrate a lot.  The energy gets dissipated as heat.  That's a fact.  It has nothing to do with "magic."  Leave Harry Potter out of it.

The problem with the people in denial (like most anything) is that they don't understand. What they don't get is that global warming is real. It's necessary. We need to the Earth's atmosphere to have certain amounts of greenhouse gases to maintain temperate temperatures. Global Warming, as it is known, is not about whether it happens, but rather the fact that it is increasing. Your average Joe Jackass thinks the former. That is the information that needs to get out. --Edgerunner  76 09:17, 9 November 2007 (EST)
 * I'd like to see a user name in the "essay" template, otherwise anyone can edit this, as long as they self-identify. Please do so, writer of this piece. Or we will edit it freely. human  12:30, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Parody?
Can I add it to the Parody category? Please please please? I Eat Glue 13:07, 9 November 2007 (EST)
 * No. 12.75.67.17 13:10, 9 November 2007 (EST)


 * You don't have to take notice of an IP sock Susan  ... purrrrrr ...  13:14, 9 November 2007 (EST)


 * My take is that it is fair game if no one takes credit for it. --Edgerunner  76 13:14, 9 November 2007 (EST)


 * I'll give it another day. I Eat Glue 13:15, 9 November 2007 (EST)

And, I'm not sure why my change was rolled back. I didn't add the Parody category. I added the Denialism, Needs Goat, and Propaganda categories. --Edgerunner  76 13:20, 9 November 2007 (EST)
 * To be honest I'd be inclined to leave it alone. It really doesn't need any additions.--Bobbing up 13:24, 9 November 2007 (EST)
 * I agree, it's perfect as it stands. I do like, however, the invitation to correct the egregious spelling errors.  But I think they add to its credibility and clarity. human  14:00, 9 November 2007 (EST)
 * I too feel that the experimental - and sometimes highly imaginative - spelling adds appropriate credibility to the work. Might I ask our IP to remove the red link to Industrial revolution though?--Bobbing up 14:23, 9 November 2007 (EST)
 * I suggest that we strike out the part about fixing the spelling errors. --Edgerunner  76 14:44, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Upon further reflection, I think I'll leave it officially non-parody for now. I Eat Glue 16:17, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Magic
You know, just because YOU can't understand/acknowledge how something works, doesn't mean it's not happening. --Gulik 14:46, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C Clarke Susan ... purrrrrr ...  14:56, 9 November 2007 (EST)
 * True, dat. But scientists know perfectly well how the Greenhouse Effect works--12.whatever's ignorance does not constitute disproof of their theories. --Gulik 18:31, 9 November 2007 (EST)
