But the real question is, how would your asian whore mailorder "wife" feel about throwing away your TV
You dont have a job, and stupid cunt must have spent a lot of time on her knees in the back room of that asian hostess bar she works in to buy it, so yopu better check with her first.
Just because you are such a dumb ass and she talked you into marrying her so she could get her green card, doest mean the bitch will let you actually make a decision like that, Like all saps who marry mail order whores, she owns you
Clearly an intelligent, coherent, tolerant, accepting Liberal...ok, well, one with Bi-Polar issues.

Exactly!
Democrats will always obstruct doing something about the environment and then call for higher taxes to clean up the environment.
Create a problem, then call for money to fix it.
It's the oldest political trick in the books.

What a bunch of crap.
Before you post and article on Global Warming, get one that Scientists wrote and reviewed, not a bunch of morons with no scientific credibility.

You are Christopher Landsea of the Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory. You were a contributing author for the UN's second International Panel on Climate Change in 1995, writing the sections on observed changes in tropical cyclones around the world. Then the IPCC called on you as a contributing author once more, for its "Third Assessment Report" in 2001. And you were invited to participate yet again, when the IPCC called on you to be an author in the "Fourth Assessment Report." This report would specifically focus on Atlantic hurricanes, your specialty, and be published by the IPCC in 2007.
Then something went horribly wrong. Within days of this last invitation, in October, 2004, you discovered that the IPCC's Kevin Trenberth -- the very person who had invited you -- was participating in a press conference. The title of the press conference perplexed you: "Experts to warn global warming likely to continue spurring more outbreaks of intense hurricane activity." This was some kind of mistake, you were certain. You had not done any work that substantiated this claim. Nobody had.
As perplexing, none of the participants in that press conference were known for their hurricane expertise. In fact, to your knowledge, none had performed any research at all on hurricane variability, the subject of the press conference. Neither were they reporting on any new work in the field. All previous and current research in the area of hurricane variability, you knew, showed no reliable upward trend in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes. Not in the Atlantic basin. Not in any other basin.
The hurricane expert who stood up to UN junk science
Who is he??
Christopher Landsea is the Science and Operations Officer at the National Hurricane Center, which is a part of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the U.S. Department of Commerce. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society. [1] In January 2005, Landsea withdrew from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, claiming that the group had become politicized and ignored his concerns. His resignation letter was released on Prometheus, a blog run by Roger Pielke Jr. [2]
Later that year, Landsea published a study which argued that rising greenhouse gas levels will not influence the intensity of hurricanes in the Atlantic basin. [3] His two coauthors were climate skeptics Patrick Michaels and Chip Knappenberger.
After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Republican political appointees preferred Landsea over other scientists in NOAA to speak to the media about the link between hurricanes and climate change. [4] Some of the documents were released by the Government Oversight Committee. [5] Later documents released by the Government Accountability Project also showed that Republican political appointees favored Landsea's views and sought to have him interviewed by the media. [6]
